So you've decided to be a racist... (Page 1/3)

Wasn't racism supposed to be described as having a belief that one race (or races) is/ are either superior or inferior as compared to another race or races?

I know beliefs are extremely scary, but....

Now that 'racist' has been applied to every racially tinged topic it's become the modern equivalent to the middle-aged charge of "witch".

He's a witch! He only wants to be around people that look like him and he wants a witch for a president.

Is 'racism/witchism' a COVID event that infects everyone requiring lock-downs, banning and forced injections?

"Unite The Right" rally. Charlottesville, Virginia. August 2017. Racism on display, from the Nazi and Neo-Nazi regalia and mannerisms, to the chants of "Blood and Soil" (an original Nazi slogan) and "Jews will not replace us."

No federal, state or local law enforcement agency tried to stop the rally from taking place.


I am just thinking about that as an example. A counter-example, actually, to where I think you are going. Something to provide substance for a discussion.

Somehow racism has been redefined for what used to be called bigotry. My guess is that calling someone a bigot didn't have the impact of yelling racist. Plus it shuts down whatever is being discussed.

That's the point, Hudini. It has been overused and incorrectly used to the point of mythology and religion. We're to the point of mandating an anti-racist mask and the force for everyone to wear one when in close proximity to other people who might be infected with the spell of racism.

The War on Racism. It's coming now that the War on Drugs is lost.

rinselberg, I guess you are placing yourself in the category of all tinges require the revocation of a legal permit for a rally? Because one was revoked. The court overruled, but didn't the mayor allow the assembly and immediately terminate it?

Blood and Soil can be associated with ancient nationalistic City States from Greece, etc. The Germans commonly revitalized traditions from the past, including the Olympics.

I do know that the fedgov created a police state legislatively after 9-11-01 and uses agent to create crimes that weren't being committed so-as to prosecute an agenda. It's the identical method as modeled by events such as the Isreali person phoning in threats against America Jewish centers and schools, and to which gov agencies crafted financial gifts and grants to those same Jewish interests. However, I'm doubtful that Protestant schools and centers would have the same success if they had a French citizen of huguenots persuasion making similar calls/threats from France.

A permit for a rally was revoked? And a mayor allowed it before he stopped it? If you want to cite this to support an idea, the onus is on you to provide the details for anyone to make sense of it.

I was going to include one of the many photographs of various scenes at the Unite The Right rally, but suffice it to say, it didn't look anything like a celebration of Classical or Ancient Greece.

You seem more concerned about what's coming around the corner, than anything that's already happened.

Why should any federal, state or local law enforcement agency have tried to stop the rally from taking place?

Would this be an inference that they don't have a right to assemble, protest or freedom of speech like any other group?

Hmm.....

Source, please. Mine was a response, so you have to go 1st. The rally-goers were leaving. The mostly peaceful protesters attacking them refused to leave.

So you ARE in the camp of limiting freedoms in the name of 'racism.' I know the norm is almost always a false flag such as the aforementioned Israeli calling over 100 Jewish Centers posing as an anti-semite. Then there was the black guy doing the same after his Jewish girlfriend dumped him.

All we need are a couple of operatives or agents posing as Neo-Nazis to invoke an gov excuse. There are real ones. But so what? They aren't making the calls to the centers.

McCain flew over on a Memorial Day to meet with terrorists, one who carved a lung out of someone and took a bite. At least he wasn't a 'racist.'

Yes. Exactly the point that I wanted to establish. The Unite The Right rally was in line with the 1st Amendment (Freedom of Speech and Assembly.) And no part of government, from the federal level on down, acted to prevent the rally.

Now there can be arguments about exactly what happened around the margins of the event--figuratively and literally. But at the proverbial "end of the day" the rally was allowed to take place.

I am trying to understand what "sourmash" is about, here.

At this point, I don't.

I think what this Topic needs most is some other participants. Or failing that, a peaceful and painless demise.

I hope that "blackrams" returns to see what I said, after what he said.

If I don't see evidence of that, I may (at some point) even go so far as to prompt him with a PM to look in here again.
