    So you have no problem at all with such ugly and un-American racism and bigotry as exposed by their own extremist words? :eek:

    That is your choice but that kind of odious hate mongering is not something that the majority of Americans embrace.

    I proved to you the federal government defines SS medicare and Medicaid as entitlement programs.
    I also proved to you that roughly 2/3 of federal outlays go to entitlement programs, as per my claim.
    I -also- proved to you that entitlement programs greatly exceed defense spending, thusly disproving your claim.
    You continue to disagree.
    Thus, I have proven you choose to be wrong.

    There are successful blacks and even they are still discriminated against by those who embrace the extremist alt right mindset.

    Says he who refuses to believe that SS, Medicare and Medicad are entitlements, when even the federal government explicitly says so.

    This country has a racist heritage whether you like it or not. I think even liberals will agree.

    Do you think white people living among themselves is hateful? Then you must view the world as being hateful and racist because WNs only want to emulate non-white countries.

    How are they discriminated against?

    Not all white people are alt-right. The alt right is a fringe group and hardly represents the majority.

    That doesn't make them entitlements. Can an "entitlement" be fully paid for by those who benefit from it?


    Your claim included S.S. and Medicare, which are fully funded by those who benefit from them.


    -a claim that includes much that is not "entitlement". I also proved that S.S. does not add a nickel to the debt, and that the Trust Fund is actually worth $2.8 trillion or whatever it is today. But you refuse to mention any of that because it blows away your other empty claims.

    You are free to prove me wrong and give me examples. IF what you say exists surely you can support the mountains of evidence.... ;)

    Btw Kode, you must live in a really drab and depressing world if you believe whites in general are evil and racist who wrongly discriminate against minorities. That is a pretty bad worldview. :(

    I never claimed that all whites belong to the extremist alt right.

    But those who embrace the bigotry of the extremist alt right do discriminate against everyone who doesn't fit into their cult.

    As the federal government created the programs and defines them as such, it does.
    Your opinion on the issue doesn't matter.
    You choose to be wrong.

    So Asian countries committed genocide? Wow. :eek:

    Do you really believe the dishonest leftist fearmongering that we want to genocide non-whites? Rise above the lies.

    Even regular Germans living in NAzi Germany didn't want a holocaust of Jews and other races. That was all Hitler and why he kept the holocaust a secret from the people.

    You seem to believe that the majority of whites discriminate against, oppress and hinder blacks from success. Correct?

    How do we discriminate? Please give an example.

    Your disingenuous strawman is duly noted and ignored.

    Since this is the 2nd time you have tried this nonsense you will disqualify yourself from any further meaningful participation on this topic with me if you do it a 3rd time.

    How did I strawman you when I asked you a question? I just want clarity and for you to be specific.

    I am sincerely not strawmaning you. I hate logical fallacies. A misunderstanding is not a strawman.

    Stop being dishonest, most college people don't think that. But lets be real, your job prospects are severely limited without a college degree. The derision of higher education by the right is ridiculous. Why is ignorance and lack of education something to be proud of? Why is not knowing things something to be proud of, and people who actually take the time to learn facts are considered "elitists"? Sounds like typical rightwing deflection. Can't argue on the facts and merits of your position, so deflect that liberals are mean poopyheads because they went to college and are informed

    And opinion based on ignorance is not equivalent to someone who is well educated and informed.

    It's kind of amazing a right winger to make that claim. They routinely deride anybody who is poor as lazy bums, who should just get a better job. They deride muslims, african americans, immigrants, liberals, you name it. they routinely act like poor people are inferior to them. Some even think people of a particular skin tone are inferior to them, or people born in countries other than the US. Ironic

    You mis-characterize the position.
    The "right" takes issue with those who who seek to excuse and blame Clinton's loss on the "uneducated masses".
    You know -- the blue collar union guys the Dems used to be proud to champion.
    Personally, I hope the Dems continue to do this.

    Let's settle this. First, define what you mean by "entitlement".

    My objection is that I see an entitlement as being a benefit granted to certain people who may or may not have paid into the "entitlement". I don't see an entitlement being a proper description for a benefit that was paid for only by those who benefit from it. Is your life insurance an "entitlement"? How about your pension and 401k?

    So go ahead; define "entitlement".

    And finally, I request an answer from you to this question: what is the current value of the S.S. Trust Fund?

    I provided 2 citations form the federal government that cover this.
    SS, Medicare and Medicad are entitlements.
    Irrelevant. Your unsupportable opinion in no way means the word means what you want it to mean.
    You choose to be wrong.

    This is a strawman;

    That is you fallaciously alleging that I hold a position so that you can then knock it down and claim victory.

    I called you out on it because a strawman does not warrant a response.

    If you want to know where I stand then ask me a direct question. Don't ASSUME that I hold a position,

    Does that clear up the misunderstanding?

    And look at Trump, he's incompetent, can't get anything done, and is a national embarrassment, so what are we supposed to think about people so stupid they ignored the signs that Trump had no plans at all, lied all the time, and his work history is ripe with fraud. What do you call people that voted for him, and when he did exactly what he said he was trying to do (like take away their healthcare) they are shocked by it? Are these people not stupid?

    The fact none of these people can actually make a fact based, intelligent, logic based argument to support Trump, and never had one, supports all that is said about most Trump supporters.

    Sorry, as usual, liberals are being proven right. ANd the non-stop deflection and intentionally idiocy we see from Trump supporters doesn't help their case

    How else am I supposed to understand your belief without asking questions when it isn't clear?

    I did not state it as fact. Do you not see the question mark at the end? The question mark shows I don't know what your position is. Hardly a strawman.

    By all means - keep up this narrative. Shout it loudly from the mountaintops. Each day, every day, and twice on Sunday.

    Then consider this: Trump won because the Dems ran the only person in America that could not beat him.
