Because it is historical fact. It is common sense. Alt-Right is a racist group. Alt-right argues from a revisionist point of view, and argues further ...

All in all, my point of reference was in regards to the psychological affect of European colonial influence. I'm not interested in revisiting history,...

I disagree with the whole notion you presented with the alt-right. The alt-right are fear mongering cowards who are pandering to the idea that whites ...
March 20, 2019 at 13:10
I'm talking about the actual British, Portuguese, and other European influences in the countries of Africa. I'm referring to people involved in the Tr...

Indigenous meaning, originating from a specific place or native. Are we really getting into a play with words now? If you want to call a country a sta...

Yes he has, look at his presidency....No other president has ever been challenged by their origin. No other president has ever faced such racial backl...
March 20, 2019 at 08:32
Because in my post I'm specifically targeting the experiences of people of color in particular African people and you're telling me, a person of color...
March 20, 2019 at 08:31
Sigh....I take it you're unfamiliar with African diaspora...History and evidence has shown it is about colonialism....I point to the letter of King Le...

Obama is irrelevant to the discussion. Typical.
March 20, 2019 at 08:25
Sure many people are not aware of their privileges, but we aren't talking about many, I'm talking specifically about white people. For example a frien...

Africa has countries, not states for one. Two, tribalism is a lot different than how the early Europeans came and how they treated indigenous tribes. ...

The reason why it is inherently wrong is the same reason why certain arguments from men's rights groups can be wrong: thinking that equity is oppressi...

Due to centuries of European colonialism
March 20, 2019 at 07:57
I disagree, and in fact that is not even accurate historically. The alt-right is a rag tag group of whiny cry babies who also try and point fingers ab...
March 20, 2019 at 07:55
Very often people think by vilifying "hate speech" you are prohibiting it. In my other thread I made the point that people forget that there are conse...
March 19, 2019 at 22:34
That is the problem, you don't. The individual that caused 51 murders didn't just subscribe to an ideology or espouse hate, this individual put it int...

Not so easy considering that white nationalism is a growing problem.
March 19, 2019 at 21:51
You really want me to present scholar articles? I suspect you've never taken a course dealing with cultures, race, and history? I have no issue suppor...
March 17, 2019 at 13:57
Ok fine, but like anything, it could or couldn't be it is up to the one observing it. Your convincing is irrelevant when it comes to at-will employmen...
March 17, 2019 at 13:55
Well maybe because I'm just not coming around, and maybe because while I'm getting to it I'm also at work which is the only time I'm able to. It wasn'...
March 17, 2019 at 05:09
This is the result of tangential thought.
March 17, 2019 at 04:09
God is incorporeal. The brain is a corporeal substance. But what the heck does Donald Trump have to do with this?
March 17, 2019 at 04:08
How? How does that fit in the hunter-gatherer model?
March 17, 2019 at 04:05
No. when it comes to discussion, if someone is unwilling to see a different perspective especially when it comes to pejorative phrases aimed at a spec...
March 17, 2019 at 03:59
I did a thread on this (Dark Triad Theory).
March 16, 2019 at 15:23
Ok. One of the things I learned in graduate school studying racial intersectionality is if someone is unwilling to be open to have a different perspec...
March 16, 2019 at 15:19
This is all I needed to know. Then this really destroys the length of your argument concerning what you think he was referencing. I think you ought to...
March 14, 2019 at 17:20
I don't think people often look to be offended. I don't think NBA players in the case of Westbrook go to arena and arena looking to have a fan use inf...
March 14, 2019 at 17:18
You're right, but I believe the spirit of inciting violence and harm still stands. Let me give you an example.... Do you go into a room full of MS-13 ...
March 14, 2019 at 14:13
Apparently if you're referencing me why not quote me? Usually people that believe people ought to say what they want whenever they want usually end up...
March 14, 2019 at 14:08
Well in the first instance there is nothing wrong per se, but the owner is known to be quite "emotional." For the latter, as I mentioned to another po...
March 14, 2019 at 14:05
Of course. In the case of Westbrook the fan was disruptive enough to potentially cause an incident. True, but there are limitations. You don't have fr...
March 14, 2019 at 13:59
I suspect states have different levels of punishments yes. Defamation is written speech, slander is oral....They are forms of speech I understand what...
March 14, 2019 at 13:45
Um, I guess DingoJones got it but can you rephrase that for me?
March 14, 2019 at 01:31
Because if I said you are a pedophile and I alerted the news station, and subsequent to that socially I've convicted you to guilt without evidence, an...
March 14, 2019 at 01:31
But the idea that words do not hurt is a myth. Legally it is within one's right for speech within the confines of the law, but there are limitations. ...
March 14, 2019 at 01:29
Although I understand your position I'm not sure Ubn Safwan was stating that which is why I stated unless you're familiar with his works it would be h...
March 13, 2019 at 22:02
You said it was a joke
March 13, 2019 at 14:17
No. Said it as in general
March 13, 2019 at 14:15
Yeah. I recall listening to a lecture by Neil Degrasse Tyson on this... Interesting perspective!
March 13, 2019 at 00:09
I see your point here. Well, I was merely hypothesizing the view of ibn Safwan's thought concerning the extreme determinism on his part. I would suspe...
March 13, 2019 at 00:07
Wow that is very interesting....!
March 12, 2019 at 23:59
Interesting perspective. I've read some other psychobiological articles relating to this article as well, I'm starting to think there must be some mod...
March 12, 2019 at 23:59
Wow....My gosh, I didn't know. My condolences.
March 12, 2019 at 23:56
Well I'm merely touching the surface of some of his writings, if you are more familiar with it then please submit something further to substantiate hi...
March 12, 2019 at 07:59
This was the problem with the Muta'zilite school of thought because this ran contrary to Quranic theology: " the truth from your Lord: let anyone who ...
March 12, 2019 at 07:44
Agreed
March 11, 2019 at 14:28
I'm other-agnostic-theist
March 11, 2019 at 02:17
And just when I was beginning to like you....(Sarcasm)

Because not all people didn't think racism was bad, especially during that time...
