Ric Flair Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Good column. Spot on analysis. Judge people on their character and opinions on their merits. Enough dividing people based on race, gender, etc. http://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-the-contemptible-concept-of-white-privilege-is-simply-racism-ugly-and-angry 1 Link to comment

Thanks for the great response Zoogs. This must be more of that well-reasoned and fact-based discussion that Huskerboard is so famous for. 1 Link to comment

Dr. King would be disappointed in you. You and those like you are an impediment to his dream of a color-blind country. You should be ashamed, but are undoubtedly too clueless to be aware of that.

zoogs Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Dr. King lmaooooo honestly, brah, you need to find a community of racists if you're looking for kindred spirits to share in your vile, delusional bigotry. The only proper response in a community of decency to this putrid bulls#!t is to let you know as briefly as possible that your points are repugnant and ridiculous. Link to comment

I am pointing out that shouting down any white straight male and dismissing his opinion simple because he’s a white straight male is racist. Only in some dystopian Orwellian hell would it be argued that is somehow repugnant and racist. But I doubt you’re bright enough to understand what that means. Link to comment
zoogs Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) As it turns out, there are a lot of straight white men here on this very board whose opinions aren't shouted down and dismissed. What do you think we should do with actual bigotry, though? Not shout it down? Not dismiss it? Hm. Could it be, possibly, that you are being judged on the content of your opinions? Nooooo, you must be a victim. That's the ticket. Edited March 12, 2018 by zoogs Link to comment

Dr. Kings dream was that all people were treated equally in this country not that everyone in the country be colorblind. And I know what you mean by that term so don't think I mean colorblind literally. The term 'colorblind' is so wrong and off base its hilarious. Its absolutely unattainable. The fact of the matter is no one is blind to someone elses ethnicity and all people have subconcious biases. That will not change. What can change is tolerance and acceptance of all people. 1 Link to comment
zoogs Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 You have to be aware that there's a certain, very limited, highly racist crowd that would cheer and slap you on the back for all this "people are racists to white people, and that's the big meaningful problem of today's world" stuff. Shouldn't that give you pause about these views? You're not too far gone, one would hope -- or you wouldn't even still be posting on Huskerboard. Take a step back and take stock. Link to comment

Have you read the latest research on subconscious biases. Clearly not. The test and methodology are hopelessly flawed. It’s liberal BS masquerading as science. Just like global warming. https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/3/7/14637626/implicit-association-test-racism 1 Link to comment
