Yep, and I was drawing a comparison to the hateful verbal lashing both of them took. I know they are not the same in context, but my point was the vitriol expressed. BTW, her skin color is no different than a well tanned Andrea Tantaros. I believe the hate comes from very stupid people thinking she is a middle eastern muslim, which really has nothing to do with skin color
But that is not the topic of this thread nor was it the point to which you replied. The point to which you replied was disparaging remarks made about the brown-skinned Miss America regarding her ethnicity and skin color and the nexus you attempted to correlate with disparaging remarks made about a prior Miss America for a political position she espoused. We are not debating whether the remarks in question were good or bad--we are debating the genesis of the comments themselves. Between the two sets of comments there is no nexus.
Total bullcrap, per usual. The South is FAR MORE desegregated than the North,and has been for decades, with a LOT less racial tension.
Not to mention that there is a very real possibility with many precedents that supposed "Racists" making the tweets are actually Liberal Activists aiming to create an impression that America is rife with racism that they NEED to exist in order to manipulate U.S. with it. Personally, I've always found Indian Women extremely attractive and their traditional styles of dress, jewelry, cosmetics, body/facial language and dance exotic and alluring. Though this Miss America may have an Indian decent, from watching an interview, she seems to be all too Americanized, and probably won't result in more video coverage of the dance, dress, and charisma I'd like to watch. I certainly don't think there is any kind of Massive American Anti-Indian Racism. -
Is there a real news source for this? Or do we have to settle for this overhyped exageration as is the Huffpo MO.
Nah, but he obviously does think women are both different, and inferior. He just has a 'backhanded' way of expressing it under a facade of 'chivarily' - like the Iranian mullah who wants to "protect women" by tossing them in burkas - but has no problem marrying off a 9 year old child bride to some horny 50 year old goat. I agree it is - you aren't a dumbed down leftist are you?
It's separated by a ; mark - indicating that it's a separate definition. In other dictionaries that I posted, it's clearly separated and indicated as a secondary defintion - the primary defintion is "discrimination based on sex". Deal with it instead of arguing semantics I already proved you wrong, you're unwilling to accept that. There are apparently 2 definitions for sexism - once which refers to "discrimination based on sex" - and another which refers to "reinforcement of stereotypical gender roles" - they're obviously two entirely different concepts, and the definition of "sexism" you used is the less common one. It was used hypocritically - I pointed out how football and full-contact sports could be seen as "reinforcing stereotypical male gender roles", and confirming radical feminists' stereotypes of men as 'violent brutes' - but you never bothered to rail on against the "sexist gala" that is the NFL and how it "exploits men by portraying them as mindless brutes who love violence" - you just have a slightly creepy obsession with women and pageants, which makes me almost wonder if you're an expatriate from Egypt, or some Islamic country. The only other person I saw here comparing beauty pageants to "X rated porn" was a Muslim poster from Saudi Arabia. Then of course you tried equivocating between "sexist" and "sexual" when the two are not the same. I'm clearly more literate than you, and understand the difference between "primary" and "secondary" definitions. For example, in the dictionary the pimary definition for "car" is "a motorized vehicle moving on wheels". However there's a secondary definition which refers to "the part of an airship or balloon that carries the passengers and cargo" - this is obviously a much less common definition than the first one. I pointed out that your definition was "less common", and it was - I didn't say it was incorrect, though I misunderstood your usage. I just pointed out your hypocrisy. Not sure, but I'm sure you'd have no problem with imposing the burka on people - all the while pretending that you're not "sexist" - just trying to "protect adults from themselves", or "prevent rape", or some other archaic nonsense
IMO her face is a little on the homely side - other than that not bad, but wouldn't have been my first pick - though 'race' has nothing to do with it. I think that Indian women are some of the most beautiful on the planet
There is actually a name for that, moby. Yeah I don't think there is any big surge of anti-Indian racism either. But racism is big business, just ask the Huffington Post.
Do you believe the racism displayed on this forum is mostly "Liberal Activists aiming to create an impression that America is rife with racism that they NEED to exist in order to manipulate U.S. with it."?
Somewhat... Allot of the topics on threads on this, or any, political forum, are based on someone else of public notoriety making a statement which is either racist, or can be misconstrued as being racist. Of the comments on this forum that are made directly by posters, I'd say they mainly fall into three categories: 1] False statements made by the opposition putting racist words into the mouths of conservative posters, by Liberal Posters. i.e. a Liberal Poster will reply to a reasonable and logical statement by falsely paraphrasing the conservative with something hyperbolic like "So you want all Black People Killed!" Its not that it is Never done by the centrist or conservative posters, but when I see it, 9 of 10 times, it is from a Liberal. 2] Another form of Racism I see commonly in posts on this forum are basically racial blanket statements which are patently false. Usually it is a form of license or excuse for something by race, instead of judgement and condemnation of the individuals actions without regard to race. In other cases, there is Blatant Anti-White Racism on the part of "Designated Minorities" which cannot be acknowledged. In some cases, there is both. i.e. "The Only reason Blacks are committing violence against Whites is because of their poverty." .... even though it can be easily shown that the current Black Perp is middle class, and their are plenty of Poor Whites who are NOT out there committing violence. Sometimes, this is unintended, and only a sign that the poster has not thought the issue through very well. A simplistic, knee jerk, Politically Correct Reaction to a complex, subtle and murky problem. In other cases, it is extremely deliberate, agenda-serving, and partisan attempt to smear. There is even one poster here who has a signature that reads something like : "Not all conservatives are racists, but all racists are conservatives" Need I say more? I mean, such absolute statements are never true, and always a sign that you cannot have a serious debate discussion with such a "Tool". Again, the vast majority of such racist posters I see on this forum are Liberals. 3] The last form of Racist Poster I see here on PF are the few Anti-Obama posters who have a problem with Jews. The Anti-Semite crowd here on PF is larger than I find typical for political forums in general ( and I do follow and post on quite a number of them ) I wouldn't really call them Conservatives, or even Right-Wing, because other than opposing the Liberals, they don't have much in common with the true Conservatives. They tend make Hyperbolic Posts with lots of name calling and personal insults, but never offer pragmatic solutions, or acknowledge the valid points made by the opposition. Conservatives by their nature are usually rather reserved in mode of speech and granting of opinion. They are the guys with the neat haircut and the 10 years out of style grey business suits. I think I would call them Anti-Obama/Anti-Semite Radicals, rather than Conservatives. These guys wear purple Mohawks and Scarlet zoot-suits decorated with a skull and crossbones motif. I think allot of them are simply Moby's. So, in short, Most of the Racism I see of this forum, from posters, rather than the subjects of threads, comes from the Left. -
Figures, bias blinds people to the posts where the terms like "mudshark" and "TNB" are used. It is also refreshing to know that the posters who post black crime threads almost daily are just "liberal activists".
Consider the following quote from a well known, long term PF poster: In this statement, he is excusing the a mass shooter(Black) who was shooting multiple white people who he selected for murder because of their being White. He acknowledges in this statement that his is not an isolated incident, but rather a movement with organization and deliberate Genocidal Goals. Furthermore, the states that he believes the Genocide of Whites is "Justified" several times. Even the Worst of the Anti-Black or Anti-Jewish statements by posters on PF do not go to this level of advocating and justifying Racial Violence. Who is being Biased in their interpretation of the Racism seen on PF?! Kurmugeon, or.... -
