I'm pretty sure it at least should be common courtesy to hold back on saying an entire race in brainwashed by Univision.
Of course....:grin: I'll remember not to be insensitive towards African Americans only on Black History Month also.
You are thinking that this was a deliberate and calculated word choice. I say it was an accident and that fact that no history of this kind of thing with him has been trotted out is pretty much rock-solid proof of that. Maybe you didn't "equate" it but you certainly went STRAIGHT THERE with it! Barkley and Chapelle were never separated and de-humanized. Old white guys are more the victim of that in this day and age. I reckon I qualify.
Racism is a pattern. One utterance which he apologized for does not constitute a racist outlook. I don't believe that George Wallace ever apologized. Nor did Louis Farrakhan. Those are racists not this guy.
giddy logic strikes again. Black people haven't been separated and dehumanized but old white people certainly have. That made me laugh so hard. Lol
The problem is that you offend a lot more people than just the racists you rail against. You are really no better than the racists you rail against. You are all assholes. You just have different preconceived notions about people. Happy Easter.
again... religion= choice; race= no choice at the end of the day, the comment I made about brainwashing was to exemplify the irony that poster brought upon himself by stating how he thinks an entire race is brainwashed by a television station while it even more plausible to believe that he is brainwashed from a ~2000 year old book. and you have yet to condemn him.
When you paint with such a broad brush, you are bound to offend a great deal more people than those you are quarreling with. Oh, and you don't get to call teaching religion "intellectual abuse" and then soft pedal it like you just tried to.
There is no soft pedaling. I think teaching your religion as the one truth to children is a form of intellectual abuse. And no, I don't think that qualifies me as a bigot. Again you still haven't condemned the initial poster for saying an entire race is brainwashed. Since you harp on me for being intolerant and not the other poster for "painting with such a broad brush" of Latinos being brainwashed can I conclude you view racial intolerance not as evil as religious intolerance?
Of course you don't think that qualifies you as a bigot, but you are wrong. Merrimack-Webster defines bigot as one who regards or treats the members of a group with hatred or intolerance. You certainly have demonstrated intolerance for members of religious groups since you have gone so far as to label it abusive. Of course I think racial bigotry is just as wrong. I called you out and not the other poster because of the hypocrisy of exhibiting bigotry while chiding somebody for being bigoted.
That's laughable. There are a lot of groups for which no one should have tolerance. That's hardly bigotry. Honestly your whole schtick here is embarrassing. It's bigtexxx type of nonsense.
So attacking a type of philosophy is bigotry? Is that what you are saying? If I'm a bigot of religious people then I would be a bigot towards my mother, father, entire family, some of my best friends etc. I attack religion not religious people. There are exceptions of course. I'll attack a religious person if they open themselves up like rudan or whatever his name was to the OBVIOUS irony he displayed. Seriously how do you expect me to IGNORE the irony in his statement. He thinks Latinos in America are brainwashed from a tv station.... this is coming from a guy who adheres to a ~2000 year old book for his answers about the universe. He is the one who put himself out there. If he didn't want to be ridiculed for his faith then he should have not opened himself up with such a ridiculous statement. Its that simple. Why don't you get of your high horse and show your true colors. It took me 3 replies for you to finally acknowledge that someone saying an entire race is brainwashed is wrong.
