ITT we don't know what colorism is

ITP: We deny mixed race black men from being black fictional characters

On CE alone, every topic about him multiple people say that he is a rapist.

He will be called and thought of as a rapist by many people for the rest of history, regardless of whether he actually did anything wrong.

If the allegations in the lawsuit are true, yes. Judging by academic achievement, asians should have a significantly higher percentage of admissions to Harvard. To prevent that, Harvard excluded them by ranking them lower than other races in personality.

Basically, because they would get in at a disproportionately high rate compared to other demographics, they decided asians just have much worse personalities. Presumably that they lack in qualities like "helpfulness", "courage", and "kindness".

Saying the right is stupid for having stupid views is nowhere near the same thing as saying certain groups of people can't do certain things.

The day right-wingers come to grips with that fact is the day the left will treat them better.

Uh... the right aren't the ones who think minorities are so incapable that they need dedicated scholarships, lower entry qualifications and affirmative action just to be able to function in society.

Yeah, chief. Nobody thinks that. People just want a leg up on the competition. That's why white students get the majority of scholarship money, standardized tests were made to keep poor, ethnic students out of colleges, and being a white legacy student nets you a better chance at getting into an Ivy than for "affirmative action", which primarily helps white women anyway.

Except that's it's a proven fact that Harvard was actively discriminating against Asian students, and actively discriminating in favor of black students. They are literally being sued over it right now.

Huh???

Liberals continue to miss the point and assume every conservative woman is a rich white wife

Yeah it's quite amazing how the left leaning members of this board have no problem with stereotyping anyone who doesn't tow the line completely and drink the radical leftist kool-aid. If you're a woman or black and have conservative views, the people here call them Uncle Tom's and Stepford Wives unironically, all the while criticizing conservatives as being intolerant or bigoted.

They will never see the irony in holding those two positions simultaneously, or understand why those views make them hypocrites.

Because millennials

that doesn't clear up anything. What is the origin for finding the word offensive in the first place?

Could you imagine if a guy was applying for an assistant manager position at Wal-Mart, and credible allegations came out that he liked to assault customers when he was younger?

Like, even if they weren't true, that guy probably wouldn't be getting a job at that particular Wal-Mart.

He'd probably get a job at Dollar General though

This Kavanaugh thing is just a tiny piece of a much bigger, much more disturbing problem with America. That the truth doesn't matter any more. Feelings and hashtags are all that are needed to completely wreck an individual - fair or not.

And I know for a fact that some men have had their lives ruined by false accusations. Just like I know for a fact that there are a lot more rapes and sexual assaults that go unreported. And I think anyone, white male or not, who thinks the latter is a more pressing issue isn't "going against there self-interests".

Again, I gotta wonder about your schooling growing up - in what way is your latter scenario equatable to automatically assuming the accused is guilty, and the accuser is unimpeachable?

Because that's EXACTLY what Dems are arguing for over the Kavanaugh hearing.

ThanksUglyGod posted...

Possible? Sure. Likely? Nah. I think I would remember if one of my classmates tried to rape me to the point where I feared for my life.

If so, you'd probably be surprised at the number of people who've been exonerated after being imprisoned for sexual assault or rape because the victim identified the wrong person.

It's true that an investigation might turn up bupkis, but I still can't see why Kavanaugh wouldn't call for one if it would help exonerate him. He's a judge, so he must realize that makes him look guilty, right?

I dare you to answer yourself honestly - the FBI attempts an investigation and comes to the exact same conclusion that Rachel Mitchel did (that there's not enough to even get a warrant to seriously investigate the allegation, much less take it to a judge). Are you SERIOUSLY going to accept that, and say it shouldn't be used against Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing?

I bet not, because you've already decided he's guilty, even though there's no evidence.

And I know right-wing people have this weird fear that every powerful man is going to have sexual assault allegations thrown at them (one of the right's many unsubstantiated phobias, but I digress), but you all need to realize that there isn't, nor will there ever be, this epidemic of false rape convictions ruining men's lives.

Depending on who's counting and how, anywhere between 7 and 25 percent of all rape accusations are false. How is that not an "epidemic?" And how the fuck do you think that the allegation doesn't ruin men's lives?

How does "automatically assume guilt with no evidence" equate to "don't ever invest allegations of rape" to you?

Like, do you have problems with your optic nerves?

Do you actually understand the controversy behind this, darkjedilink?

Kavanaugh's not on trial, nobody is calling for his arrest. People are saying that there should be an investigation. The only people who seem to be resistant to that investigation is Kavanaugh and Senate Republicans, which is odd because they're so sure of his innocence.

Why would Blasey-Ford, if she were lying, be the one calling for an investigation into Kavanaugh? Does she think she can pull a fast one on the FBI?

You do realize that it's entirely possible, if not entirely plausible, that she's merely MISTAKEN? That she was assaulted as a teen, by someone who is NOT Kavanaugh?

And that an FBI investigation with no way to advance beyond what we already know cannot possibly find anything of note?

Never mind that has nothing to do with what you're arguing - you have yet to explain how suggesting a sexual assault accusation automatically makes the accused a rapist is somehow in the best interest of men.

How does "automatically assume guilt with no evidence" equate to "don't ever invest allegations of rape" to you?

Are you suggesting that white people and men voting Democrat are not, in fact, blatantly defying their own self-interest?

Men especially, considering what we're talking about (a party that believes your life should be ruined because someone makes an accusation with zero evidence or details against you, solely because you never had a vagina)?

Always love it when conservatives claim liberals are anti-white/anti-male

...while at the same time there are literally white, male liberals

Are you suggesting that people don't vote against their own self-interest, in a conversation about people going against their own self-interest?

Depends. Were you suggesting that white men vote against their self-interests when they support progressive policies?

They absolutely do, unless you think that rape allegations automatically mean the accused is guilty of rape is somehow in the best interest of men.
