Its funny, Trump is proving to be highly effective, but moderately popular (only equal to Obama at the same point in his presidency) while Obama was just terrible and destructive, but so good at smooth talk show chatting and well mannered charisma none of his terrible presidency stuck to him. People love Trumps policies and economy, but not Trump, people hated Obama's policies and economy, but liked Obama. Hmmm
GG has stipulated that I am a racist. That begs the question of what is racism? It is used as the all purpose attack of the Left, due to its emotive power to intimidate. The standard Left label I've heard promulgated is that its is Racism = Racism + Power... so that one can only claim honkies as racist, because one can always somehow claim they have power. That is the whole point of that definition, to enable discrimination against whites.
The dictionary version usually is tri-part: a belief that race is real (the left seems to have given up its Race is Only a Social Construct thing in the era of 23&Me), that the races have differences, and that this means there are Superior and Inferior races. By that test I am 2 of 3. Race is clearly a bio reality, and the races unarguably differ on average in a vast number of ways by large amounts. But those differences don't necessarily imply a global superiority. Chinese are clearly superior to Africans in economic productivity, on average, but vastly inferior in athletics, on average, for one.
Dictionary definitions also sometimes include 2 more elements: 1- belief in racial essentialism, that individuals are most defined by their race and share all its characteristics. I don't believe that, it is laughable non statistical thinking, black and white if you will, using platonic pure categories which is not how nature works. 2- Animosity towards those of other races based solely on their race. Again, since I've known awesome people of all races, that wouldn't count strictly. I do prejudge when no other data is available, such as I will be more nervous to walk past a group of young black men than a group of elderly Asian women, because it is rational to pay attention to the massively different statistical assault risk profiles those 3 categories (race, sex, age) represent... group A being hundreds of times higher risk than group B. I guess that makes me sexist and ageist too.
But we all prejudge. If any of the "non-Racists" here would react exactly the same seeing a strange white man slap a black child versus a strange black woman slap a black child you are lying,
Do I say unflattering facts about non-Whites? Yup. Because they're true, and our racial pieties are harmful.
Despite most of what you say passing the "fact check" test, that still makes you a racist by almost any definition of the word. But fg is a thousand times more racist than you and none of his lefty brethren can bring themselves to admit to it.
I don't necessarily disagree with much/most of what you say, you are understandably pushing back against the race baiting that comes from the left, but for me to attempt to deny that you are at heart "a racist" would make me as dishonest as they are. That said, I could see you and I enjoying a beer together, I can't for the life of me see myself stooping so low as to associate with the likes of a drooling idiot like fg, and color doesn't have a damn thing to do with it.
