So this message-image appeared towards the bottom of the previous thread page.
Bottom Right... I don't know exactly who or what that Hispanic-looking face is supposed to signify, but I think this message-image is a nod to a widely-held belief among the Ignoramus community that "Hispanic" and "White Supremacist" are inherently mutually exclusive categories.
Here's something from Jordan Pearson (Jordan and I go "way back" ) at VICE.
quote
On Saturday, a man wearing a “Right Wing Death Squad” patch opened fire at a shopping mall and killed 8 people. The shooter, 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia, had an online history that included posting multiple neo-Nazi tattoos and memes such as “latino children” having to choose between “acting black” and “becoming white supremacist” on a Russian social media site.
The mass shooting was the 199th in the U.S. this year. The next day, there were 7 more across the country, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive. The shooting was, tragically, not a unique event. It’s not unique that a white supremacist killed numerous people in a mass shooting, and it’s not unique that the shooter was [an Hispanic American] who apparently held white supremacist beliefs. Racism and colorism exist in [Hispanic American] communities, and two of the most high-profile far-right agitators in recent years—Nick Fuentes and convicted Proud Boys seditionist Enrique Tarrio—have [Hispanic] heritage. Garcia even posted about Fuentes being an inspiration.
Jordan (we're on a first names basis ) or whoever set up the report used "hispanic", but I think "Hispanic" is preferable. That's why some of that quoted text is enclosed within the bracket symbols [like this] to indicate that I changed "hispanic" to "Hispanic".

I don't know about VICE media, on the whole, but don't overlook the one specific report that I singled out that's been published on VICE:

The bottom right quadrant of that message-image that was posted (by Wichita) looks to me like it is playing to conspiracy theory, and expressing a denial or diversion from the reports that the shopping mall murderer in Allen, TX, was an Hispanic man who had immersed himself in Neo-Nazi and (essentially) White Supremacist "idiotology."
I can't imagine that anyone on this forum would have anything remotely credible to say that would lend credibility to the bottom right quadrant of that message-meme (posted by Wichita) which seems to be expressing the idea that there's something highly suspect about the idea that an Hispanic could become a Neo-Nazi White Supremacist, or that a Hispanic could commit violence and murder with the idea of somehow furthering or falling into line with Neo-Nazi White Supremacism.
There isn't anything all that suspect about it, and Proud Boy Enrique Tarrio and Mar-a-Lago dinner guest and Holocaust Denier Nick Fuentes are already enough in themselves to cause the Cosmic Boot of Truth to descend to earth from the black hole at the center of our galaxy and smash the bottom right quadrant of that meme-message (that Wichita posted) into the Alternate Universe of Delusional Thinking, where it belongs.
Targeted for destruction by the Cosmic Boot of Truth... the bottom right quadrant where the words WHITE SUPREMACIST are superimposed.

I see "David Rozado" on that data plot (lower left) and so I wanted to find something about David Rozado.
"Where did woke ideas start to spread?"
quote
A new paper suggests the phenomenon may be global—not American.
quote
“TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE”, a comedy puppet film, pokes fun at American self-importance. The theme song boasts of the things the country has created: McDonald’s, the NFL and rock-and-roll; also, less plausibly, liberty, Christmas and books. New work by David Rozado of Te Pukenga–New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology suggests something else that Americans did not invent: the “woke” phenomenon.
The term refers to a loose constellation of ideas that have changed how educated, left-leaning folk view the world. It says all disparities between racial groups are proof of structural racism; that norms of free speech, individualism and universalism are camouflage for discrimination; and that injustice will persist until systems of privilege are dismantled. The conventional wisdom says that woke ideas began in the social-science departments of American universities, migrated to the country’s newspapers and spread elsewhere.
That's as much as I can see without registering or starting a trial subscription with The Economist.
According to a facts page from the Human Rights Campaign, the history of transgender and non-binary communities can be traced backwards through all of recorded history, as far back as at least 3000 years before the Christian era... "5000 to 3000 B.C."
I have never encountered the idea that "fingers dysphoria", which (presumably) would cause a person to want to have one of their fingers removed, is common in any way, or is commonly known in different nations and cultures around the world, or has been known to have persisted among humans since the beginnings of recorded history.
The cartoon expresses an equivalence between "fingers dysphoria" and gender dysphoria that has no basis in reality.
An EP (Elective Penectomy) is a surgical option that should never be performed without the most exacting standards of medical and psychiatric review, to determine whether an EP Is in the patient's best interest.
If someone were a representative of a group that cannot be relied upon to distinguish an iceberg from a glacier, why would anyone want to have that same group's input on the far more intricate and complicated issues of gender dysphoria and its implications for society as a whole, and for the individuals that are directly faced with it in their very own lives?

Wow! Almost as far back as slavery, toe fungus and Keith Richards.

What "ray b" was referencing is the belief (among many) that in the time when the stories of the Old Testament were first coalescing... before the first incarnation of anything that could be called "The BIble"... well, let's turn to Encyclopedia Britannica online:

The exact nature of the damning wickedness of the cities has been the subject of debate. Traditionally, Sodom and Gomorrah have been associated with homosexual acts. The mob of men that accosts the angels had demanded of Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we may know them” (Genesis 19:5). This has long been interpreted as “carnal knowledge,” and many believe that it is the widespread homosexuality of the inhabitants that earns their obliteration. Other biblical references to Sodom and Gomorrah, including Jude 1:7, which mentions sexual immorality and “unnatural lust,” and the “abominable things” of Ezekiel 16:50, are seen as support for this view.
Modern scholarship, particularly in Judaism and certain branches of Christianity, has proposed that it is the inhabitants’ lack of hospitality, not their homosexuality, that gives offense to God. According to this view . . .
I have to assume that your use of the word 'con' refers to 'convict' in reference to stealing.
As a Conservative, I believe in the Rule of Law, the Ten Commandments and personal integrity.
Stealing anything is the farthest thing from my mind, as theft seems to be exemplified by the Liberal Progressives and their Welfare communities and other criminals in our society.
As a law abiding citizen, I work for my possessions and live within my means.

fail to see much diff in a con be they Conservative or convicted
and see the big 10 and sharia law as rules for goat headers of long ago
personal integrity something demanded but never given like where the hell is the rumps ''personal integrity'' he lies but that ain't ''personal integrity'' does he own up to his errors or wave them away does he stand up or go bankrupt to dodge debts where is ''personal integrity'' of a rump there ?
the rump has not a shred of ''personal integrity'' so why bring it up at all ?
respect the rule of law ? when ? the rump was ordered to pay 5 m $ by a court of laws did he show ''personal integrity'' and pay up or weasel and appeal delay denigrate
so how has the rump ever showed this ''personal integrity'' you speak of ?
I can't help but notice you're the only one speaking about the former President.
I didn't mention him in my posting.
The only person I'm responsible for is me.
When you throw around your 🐂💩 about 'cons' in your hatred filled haiku-styled rants, all it does is make you look small and unkind. We already know that you're 'wierd', but you certainly don't live u to you credo of 'Are you kind?'

Get a grip.
The way I see it, the only difference in rayb and guys like sourboy and fitz of rage is the patch on their back. Same game, different team.
I can't help but notice you're the only one speaking about the former President.
WonderBoy brings up "pegging", and Wichita posts about having his penis removed... and you're calling out Ray because he's "speaking about the former President"... in a political forum no less? Seems to me Ray's right on topic.
[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 05-18-2023).]
That's your conclusion... no doubt due to Ray not being on your "team".
I don't see Ray personally attacking anyone here. Sure, he pulls no punches in regards to Trump... but why should he? It's not Ray's fault that Trump gives his detractors so much material to work with!

I guess Trump and ray b have something in common after all.
SOME OF OUR CON'S SAY WE SHOULD NOT NOTE THE RUMPS LIES AND THE MEDIA THAT SPREADS THEM
and in a thread about LIES and MEDIA no less
I guess your side never wants to note how much and how often he lies or how the rightwing media is nothing but a lying machine then get up set when one notes the total lack of something called personal integrity in most of the rightwing media and political people with the RUMP BEING THE MOST
AND CALL THE FACTS HATE well stop LYING and I will stop call out the lies an action you call hate
) at VICE.
Seems to me Ray's right on topic.
