Glass_Phantom 09/15/17 7:30:36 AM #21 | The_Donald posted... We can start with the fiasco in Libya. Where then Secretary of State Clinton advocated for a thriving and secular nation who had given up its nuclear ambitions and was cooperating with the United States to fight terrorism to be bombed and overrun by Islamist extremists. Tens of thousands of casualties including an United States ambassador, a humanitarian disaster, the collapse of the economy, and the beginning of the European refugee crisis. Supporting the revolution in Libya was 100% the right move. The wrong move was not going in with peacekeepers to secure the country afterwards. Clinton wanted to do that, Obama didn't. Folks like you are the problem. Folks who want to keep innocent people pressed into the dirt under the boots of brutal tyrants, who murder human beings by the millions... Dictatorship is the wellspring from which terrorism and extremism flourish. |

Malcolm_Matar posted...Genius people like the tc make it clear anyone who complains about SJW's is probably nursing some racial prejudice deep down. It's similar to that paper that came out recently, that linked attitudes of racial prejudice with the "free speech" defense of hate speech. I would not be surprised if there's a similar link between racial prejudice and people who complain about social justice warriors. For a lot of people who cling to racism, it's just another defense mechanism to allow them to plug their ears and turn out their detractors. https://news.ku.edu/2017/05/01/research-shows-prejudice-not-principle-often-underpins-free-speech-defense-racist |

Glass_Phantom 09/11/17 10:02:12 AM #61 | Rika_Furude posted... the overwhelming majority support it or participate in it, so yes Condemning an individual based on generalizations or stereotypes about a larger group is a fundamental part of what it means to be prejudiced. You aren't a moral person if you lump in the hundreds and hundreds of millions of Muslims who've never degraded gays and women with the ones who do. Greater Islam has been corrupted by Saudi Salafism, but it is nothing short of evil for you to paint all Muslims with the same broad brush. @Rika_Furude |

Glass_Phantom 09/11/17 9:14:43 AM #57 | Rika_Furude posted... the key difference is that black people as a whole have done nothing wrong, but muslims as a whole discriminate against women, treat them as the property of men and not deserving of rights, execute gay people for being gay, protest to have sharia law implemented world wide, etc etc Are all black people "as a whole" wonderful people who've never done anything wrong in their lives? Do all Muslims "as a whole" discriminate against women and gays? Why are you using the phrase "as a whole?" @Rika_Furude Zikten posted... you telling me the tv show Bones is lying? the main character almost every episode can tell what gender and race the victim is by looking at the remains Forensic anthropologists don't determine race. They determine ancestry. There are specific strictures in their discipline which forbid them from determining gender and race (social constructs), and stipulate that what they should report are sex and ancestry (physical traits). |

Glass_Phantom 09/10/17 6:04:07 PM #1 | What is racism? It's the power to delineate and exclude certain groups of human beings... and it's intimately tied with the power to discriminate. First of all, "races" aren't a thing. They don't exist. The idea of biological races is archaic pseudoscience. Here's a piece by Dr. Jefferson Fish, a Professor Emiritus with 12 books on the subject, on why races don't actually exist: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/looking-in-the-cultural-mirror/201109/the-main-reason-races-don-t-exist So what is "race?" It's a social construct. Who constructs it and why? People in power do, in order to delineate and include/exclude people. What do I mean by including/excluding? I mean including/excluding people from the rights and protections the state purportedly ensures for everyone, equally. "Oh, but I advocate for equal rights." Well, of course you do. The question is the long list of exceptions, all of the "buts"... "All people are equal, but some are more equal than others" -- Some people can be shot extrajudicially, excluded physically, left to die, expelled... "I'm not a racist, I have many Black friends" -- Do you want Blacks on the whole to have the same status in society as everyone else? "Islamophobia isn't racism because Muslims aren't a race" -- Do you advocate excluding Muslims from our country, denying them a voice, and treating them as a threat? Races don't exist (except as a social construct). Racism is about the power to impose this social construct and all its legal ramifications. |

Glass_Phantom posted...I wouldn't mind seeing the United States, Canada, and Mexico join together in something akin to the European Union, with open borders and free flow of people from one country to another. If a border's to be enforced, the border with Guatemala would be easier to police (shorter), and federal legalization of marijuana would go a long ways toward quelling the cartels. It's politically unworkable until the drug war in Mexico is quelled though. Europe will be the torchbearer for the future... Developed nations with common, shared ideals of liberalism, democracy, and equality must integrate in order to provide a counterweight to Russian/Chinese authoritarianism. I don't know what future you foresee for the world if mankind doesn't eventually come together and unite, but the only picture I have in my head is an atomic wasteland. |

You guys trying to link individual weather events to climate change are pushing pseudo-science and need to stop it. More greenhouse gases means a hotter earth, Which means more water vapor in the atmosphere, Which means bigger storms. |

There is evidence that the treaty was not signed by relevant tribal authorities and might have been signed under the threat of force (automatically nullifying it). It would be like if China signed a treaty with AlternativeFAQs for all of our land, without consulting the Senate or President. The Second Seminole War was a direct result of the federal government signing a treaty with tribal leaders under duress and attempting to carry it out. |

So far yeah he's loud, offensive, and boisterous, The graver threat are the invisible guardrails to our democracy that are being smashed; the uncodified political norms that are being torn up. (bipartisan consensus and anti-majoritarianism safeguards like the filibuster for SCOTUS nominees, partisan self-restraint and fair play, not using temporary control of government institutions for partisan advantage, respect for the free press, etc.) Whether or not Donald Trump enshrines himself as dictator of the United States of America (I don't think he can, or will)-- Do you think it's more or less likely, in the aftermath of his presidency, that the country will fall under the spell of a competent populist demagogue who's able to appeal to the worst impulses of Americans to rise to power and take total control over everything? I think the answer is more likely. |
