“If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.“ Thomas Sowell

Everything about your response is in bad faith, respond to my actual arguments and then I will maybe take you seriously.

My rejection of sewell, and this out of nowhere sewell praise thread, is not a personal attack, I am attacking what he says, and I am not saying it is guilt by association, they were not in a picture together, they took part in movement activities together, rallies, writing articles in defense of one another.

So either you are being unintelligent intentionally or not, remains to be seen.

It is a personal attack. You're judging him based on his associations. That's guilt by association. So what if he's a republican, do you honestly believe all republicans are wrong or evil? And of course someone with views compatible with a publication could be black. Martin Luther King Jr. was a socialist, his views weren't compatible, should he have been given the column? You're looking at everything through a lens that sees groups in order to ignore beliefs which is exactly why you wouldn't have been given the column but Sowell would.

No I am judging him based on his words on the record in support of bill cosbys sick attitude towards black people, his participation in large scale public events with bill cosby and condoleeza rice.

This is not a photo of them together at a party, they are part of the same poltiical movement of black republicans, which includes Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, the shucky ducky guy, none of whom are representative of black people, and all of whom who have said and done a lot of things to repress, undermine, misrepresent and blame black people for problems that are not their fault.

As well as support the republican agenda, which is against all poor people of all colors, and frequently sends them to die in pointless military actions.

Listen, you can continue to play a game like a teenager's popularity contest, or you can treat arguments based on their individual merit. Until you understand the difference you're a waist of my time.

Edit: typo (and I bet you wish you could ban me now, don't you?)

On the debate pyramid I refuted your points, you cannot just say that is "a game" or that I am not evaluating the merits and magically turn bullshit into reality.

You are being worse than a teenager, "i know you are but what am i " is literally a child's game.

I will probably have to block you becaues not a single thing you have said in this thread demonstrates any interest in the topic or even your own stated positions.

Lookup the word "mendicant" in my book, that is what you are, and I will probably have to block you, but at this point in this thread, I am going to make an example of you to demonstrate how much work people will do to put lipstick on a pig.

I'm just replying to inform you that I'm not reading your comments. You're an idiot if you think I don't understand what you're doing. Add disingenuousness, feigning ignorance and being pedantic to the pyramid. You could shorten it to 'trolling' (the original definition meaning trying to provoke an angry response). Quitting the drugs/alcohol and self reflection will help your depression.

shill tactic: "take your meds"

shill tactic: "what are you smoking, you must be on drugs etc"

shill tactic: "i am not even reading what you say anymore"

shill tactic: "youre an idiot"

shill tactic: mirroring my argument strat even if it is incoherent hoping no one will take the time to analyze

shill tactic: i know you are but what am i, like 5 times now ITT

shill tactic: gaslighting, doing infuriating things to provoke an overreaction, then attacking the overreaction

shill tactic: make a front page post about a divisive racial figure then just stir shit in every comment

shill tactic: weaponized conflation, calling my earlier accusation that sewell is a major supporter of bill cosby the same as guilt by association when those are two very different things

edit: There are more, i may keep adding to the list.

Keep responding, you are an interesting fish indeed, worthy of study

shill tactic: when caught shilling change the subject

shill tactic: call the person a narcissist for defending themselves when personally attacked

shill tactic: call person weak, thin skinned when they defend themselves from ad hom attack

pyamid of debate: ad hom, obviously

Any more ways to educate us on your kind? Feel free to continue.

Hello again agent Hudson, have you taken a break from arguing against prejudice using prejudice in order to confuse shill with troll once again? Could you please stop editing my comments to introduce spelling mistakes. I make enough of them already and don't need a pedo gremlin making them worse. You need a psychiatrist, or to play a game of chicken with a freight train.

You and /u/MrObvious both have terrific points up to this point in the conversation, but you are both so similar you can't see the forest through the trees. Sometimes there is only one correct answer and sometimes there are MANY diverse and perfectly valid views. It's a shame you guys keep getting defensive sliding into criticizing the other's "tactics" and such. I would like to see more discussions between you two if you could just be civil and respectful.

    I think you replied to the wrong comment.

    You really think the thomas sewell debate is at this moment in time worthy of front page news on saidit?

    Me being here and telling you that is silly and pointing out he is a major cosby supporter going way back, is the only thing making this entire thread interesting.

    As for your "prove to me there is structural racism against black people", you should start a whole new post with that as now that is off topic.

    And race war bait, obviously.

      Dude you really out here expect others to link you articles on something so obvious cuz youre too lazy to google it yourself? Are you playing dumb or you just born yesterday? lol

      [–]jmichaelhudsondotnet 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      I guess that is one way of admiting you lost and have no further ideas how to support your failed position.
