So what? Is that a justification? Are you trying to make it seem not so bad? What the hell. Everyone is doing it? Come on, Will!

Uh, no, Jerry. I'm just looking for a more complete and balanced view of history. Everybody's toes need to be stepped on, not just us Whiteys.

Jerry Critter said...

Did I ever claim to be White? Just wondering.

Well, I certainly gave myself away, huh? LOL

That was what I was thinking. Will is upset about Whitey getting more than his fair share of the blame.

He likes to look out for the underdog. Like when he worries about the wealthy carrying too much of the tax burden.

Will "take no prisoners" Hart said...

I just want the entirety of the facts out there, wd. Is that too much to ask?............And, yeah, I'm so concerned about the rich people's burden that I've consistently advocated that their taxes go up demonstrably (no, not as demonstrably you but you're a frigging nut!). Way to be accurate, wd.

Will is correct in wanting and expecting all the facts available to be presented. But of course those with agenda's, no matter what they might be, will criicize of facts they don't like.

Personally I think humans are descendents of a very paranoid and anal race of aliens from thousands of light years away! ;)

Quite frankly, RN, your idea is not any more far fetched that humans being created by some forever-existing all-powerful being through a virgin (artificial insemination?) birth.

I agree. It's like when dmarks worries about racism, but it's racism against Whites that most concerns him.

wd, you don't think that a black person is capable of bigotry? Dude, have you ever heard Farrakhan and his disciples speak?

Actually all racism "worries" me. Every single instance of it.

The problem here is that you believe it is OK sometimes to punish people for having the wrong skin color (something that makes you by definition a racist, btw).

The fact that whites are sometimes victims of this "bothers" me no more or no less than the times Blacks, Jews, Asians, Native Americans, etc are victims of racism.

There is no evidence of what you claim. It sound good to you, so you say it regardless of how foolish it makes you look.
