    I'm not shying away from anything I posted. I seriously have no idea what you are talking about.

    Maybe you shouldn't shy away. Go ahead and say whatever it is you saw and were referencing in your 'There it is!' post. Say whatever it is you were excited to see in my post, and I will be more than happy to discuss it with you without shying away from anything.

    Cmon man you know what you said. Would it be a bad thing if people of color was a bigger minority? How would you feel if I said that? It’s like some of you guys don’t understand that racism works both ways.

    Yes, I know exactly what I said. I asked why it would be a bad thing if whites were the minority? What is wrong with that? I didn't understand why someone would worry about that becoming a reality. It will happen eventually. I just had no idea why it was a point of concern.

    What do you think the negatives would be? Why will it be a bad thing when it happens? Why is that a 'There it is!' moment?

    All in context, you replied to white genocide is why you got the there it is! Not to be the pessimist but your dream of whites being a minority will never happen after all we only have 12 yrs left, 15 tops.

    SPLC isn't worth listening to anymore. Been that way for about 10 years now.

    I was asking questions. I wasn't advocating any kind of white genocide. That's idiotic to think anyone was advocating that.

    But admit it you will be ok with less white people. It’s ok.

    You're reaching, a lot.

    He was replying to someone who was concerned with the possibility of there being fewer whites and asking why would that person be concerned about it?

    Your post above implies that someone shouldn't be ok with fewer whites? Why should someone who takes a race-neutral position care at all UNLESS the group in question was facing an active genocide?

    If you take a race neutral position why would you care if there was more or less of any 'race'?

    He responded to the SPLC wanting whites to be a minority comment and he said would that be a bad thing? How is that race neutral? Trump says we need fewer brown people and I say would that be a bad thing, am I race neutral or racist?

    What a bizarre stretch for you. I am not okay with weeding out any group of people. Your question to me isn't rational based on anything I asked.

    I have zero problems sticking by every question I posted. I am at a loss as to why you are trying to paint some bizarre intention to my questions.

    One minorities are, as the name implies already a minority.

    Asking if it be okay to have fewer minority people would be bad since nobody brought up that possibility. Someone else brought up the possibility of a change in majority status for whites. I was investigating that.

    The community I live in is not majority white. I haven't noticed any additional problems as a result of that.

    Your desperation to reach for that idea is a little odd. Just admit it and let's move on.

    In your community Trump says we need less brown more white, I say would that be a bad thing? Lol we can do this all night but I see what you’re saying, let’s do move on.

    Not only did he not say anything about white genocide, he didn't even say anything about less white people. He asked why it would be bad if whites were a minority. (hint: the number of whites could go up and still we could become the minority)

    Try to have an honest debate. You may not realize this, but previous posts are there for us to go back and read, so it's not very productive to claim somebody said something that they didn't all in your neverending quest to own the libz.
