Beginning to believe these anti-racist movements have made people more racist than ever. Normal people in my area have had enough.

You can open up any American History textbook and find out what happens when your nation is built on institutional racism. Slavery was justified because of the supposed inferiority of black people. Same with Jim Crow laws, and the racism that pervaded the south until recent history. Emmett Till was 14 when he was kidnapped, tortured, shot in the head, and had his body dumped in a river, all for making some kind of inappropriate comment to a white lady. When on trial after being caught, the defense team made direct appeals to race when they asked the jury to acquit. "Every last Anglo-Saxon one of you men in this jury has the courage to set these men free." is one of the most famous lines by the defense.

White supremacists, racists, or anyone that consciously chooses to view other people as sub-human because of group membership factors outside of their control, do not deserve respect. I wasn't even trying to upset anyone, just being honest about my feelings of contempt. But you want me to play nice with racists, and act like it's a simple difference of opinion between two reasonable people? Go fuck yourself.

№thing you just said relates to my comments in any way. And again you end it raging in anger.

"But you want me to play nice with racists,"

Yes, I actually do. If you can't even bring yourself to articulate your ideologies in response to the simplest of questions such as the ones in this thread "What's wrong with being racist?", then № one will listen to you. You are only inciting anger in others.

№w if you open up a history book. You may end up experiencing a small panic attack.

Once you are done ponder that, you may have further questions to ask, such as, why aren't there as many black ancestors in Europe in spite of more slaves being shipped there? Hint it involves sterilizations and cullings. Or, what was the origin of the word slave? Or, what ethnic group owned the most slaves in America? Or even more importantly, which groups of people were selling the slaves out of Africa?

Or more importantly than even those questions, are the questions ȯ̵̹̝̕f our modern life, since we don't live in the past. Which group of people currently perform the majority ȯ̵̹̝̕f manual labor in America today, providing services in a debt based society, constituting modern slavery? Hint, it's №t based on their skin color, but on the abuse ȯ̵̹̝̕f their work ethics.

Good luck w͚ͮi̮̲t͐͊̚ḧ̯̻̖͐͆ t̷̋h̸̙͍̒̕a̵̛͉̘̰͝ṫ̸̡̕.̷̱̬̀̀

"Oh my god, black people owned slaves too."

It's annoying when self-absorbed mouthbreathers throw out trivial facts like they're supposed to be bombshells. Slavery isn't an American invention, but the institution of slavery in America was rooted in racism, as were the Jim Crow laws that followed. It was only through the civil rights movement, which was an explicit rejection of racism, that minorities in America were finally given the civil rights to which they should have always been entitled.

If you think this inane shit is supposed to rock my world, I suggest you extricate your head from your asshole.

In your earlier post, you didn't mention anything I didn't already know. The only difference is, I didn't insult you for mentioning those things I already knew. Why? Because that would be an absurd thing to do. You also ignored everything I said after that fact. In a near frothing rage may I add.

Who knows why you did this. Do you? Surely it wasn't for my benefit, nor to help others see the soundness of yȯ̵̹̝̕ur argument. Not that you presented one. Your lack of civility speaks volumes of your character. Or more accurately, your lack there of.

Again, you can't even bring yourself to articulate your ideologies in response to the simplest of questions, such as the ones in this thread.

"What's wrong with being racist?"

You seem incapable of even addressing a question this simple.

I'm honestly going to need for you to do better than this. Because quite frankly, you're giving us liberals a bad name.

OK, so how much does it cost a congressperson to campaign? Look at the actual numbers, and then look at a congressperson's salary. Then maybe you'll figure why what you said is retarded.

You keep showing up in my notifications saying retarded shit like this. I'm not sure if you're a troll or just delusional.
