Can we please stop using such generalized terms?

Beliefs in racial superiority and determinations to enfranchise and disenfranchise persons based upon their race did not begin with Trotsky.

Again, the left is not a monolith.

@Whithers yes people like hannity and bill or Riley and the proud boys aren’t taking about the past

No, they are not.

They are talking about principle.

@Maw, so long as they support the "Left" they are the Left.

They are talking about dogma and axioms of a era that are long gone

Your idea of the 'left' and their idea of the 'left' are two completely different things.

@Whithers Most people deem their own existence and their own group superior. That is not something new, no. You just did that yourself.

Correct ethical principle is never past. It is eternal.

Ok, I’ll say it, Biden is a spineless fish who would let China take us over if it served his own interest.

Also the amount of times the right has appealed to principals and then gone back on it are numerous

If they don't want to be Left they can change.

Lindsey Graham being a prime example

@Jorgen Johnson Agreed.

@Jorgen Johnson that’s the popular right wing narrative, I am aware

More, Biden would present them the offer with a bill for the service.

*Cough*... Sorry... that is a really, really subjective opinion.

Nope. Not subjective opinion.

I believe the more popular hysterical phrasing is '*sell* us to China' but either is acceptable in this context

lol

Again, please stop calling overly broad swaths of people that could very well be considered to be present here 'racist'.

Yes, Whithers demonstrated my point

Or anything else particularly derogatory.

We're open to many viewpoints here.

@Maw Can I call them: "Toxic Humans!" 😄

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
