Yes, Whithers demonstrated my point
Or anything else particularly derogatory.
We're open to many viewpoints here.
Graham is attempting to be pragmatic. He is political, but one doesn't survive long as a military officer without being a political animal.
Ok, if one supports segregation based on race, enfranchisement and disenfranchisement based on color of skin and ethnicity, assault and battery based on skin color, and financial penalties based on skin color how are they not racist?
When they define racism based on the color of one's skin how are they not racist?
Those are the protocols and policies the Left seeks to establish as standard operating procedure.
Those are two very different questions. Both of them are loaded and the last one implies a nonsquitur.
When you call for segregated dorms based on the color of skin that is racist.
@Whithers then are HBCU's Racist?
They are the same question. When you make decisions based on the color of skin without a valid scientific or historical reason it is racist. It is not racist to cast Denzel Washington as Malcolm X instead of casting Rosie O'Donnell as Malcolm X. It is racist to refuse to diagnose someone with symptoms of Favism as having Favism because doing so might be politically incorrect.
Yes, they are racist in foundation. There is one civilization here: American.
Yes, I wrote that.
I define racist as 1 cup of flour and 2 teaspoons of suger with an egg mixed in.
[if this is, "define words how you please"-hour]
Well doesn't that just take the cake.
easy as pie
@Doc White or Brown Sugar?
@William Dinan Yes!!! My man! depends on if you want white racism or colored racism!
It isn't. The Left's definition of racist is a white person. The Rights is making decision based on race and promoting racial superiority. And I only use raw sugar - about a pound a year.
I have to leave you excellent gentlemen now. You have fun!

Clarity, hope and safety to you
@Jorgen Johnson, you just advanced to level 6!
@Whithers I agree that both sides of the political divide have handled the issue of race equally poorly. When the Brown's sued the board of education to allow their children to attend the school that was closest to them, conservative and liberal whites alike thought it was because the white school was better. That wasn't the case. The Brown's really liked the black school that they had been attending, it was just too far. That first wrong assumption started the entire desegregation of schools off on the wrong foot. There are some really good podcasts and documentaries that detail all of the missteps along the way.
Unpacking presuppositionalist questions is a Sisyphusian quagmire. I almost got sucked in. Luckily I got distracted and realized what I was doing when I came back.
Careful... Whiplash is a b...
Lol
@TaLoN132 You are correct that the issues wasn't about school quality. Today it is about school quality. Schools in urban areas have suffered under administrative polices that were not efficacious for producing well educated people. My grandfather on a 10th grade education designed and raced formula cars, helped in the advancement of the carburetor, assisted in the design of tanks for WW II, and retired after having been a system designs inspection engineer on the Apollo projects. One could not do that with a 10th grade education today. It wouldn't be allowed by insurance.
And he did so believing he was half-Apache. Which apparently he wasn't. 23andMe shows our ancestry as being Coptic, Levantine, and Micronesian.
(I do not know how a cannibal managed to move to Egypt and have children born in the US.)
Exceptional people tend to rise to the occasion, regardless of societal accolades. Your grandfather appears to have been one of them.
Ability will usually outshine Pedigree...
Being exotic has its advantages also. At least, socially.
@Whithers. Depends on the Setting.
@William Dinan, you just advanced to level 1!
And also collapse USD, possibly?
here we go!
