A matter of opinion. Not all black Americans would, I am confident, see that as any more than it is intended to be.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? -

If being an ally is to encourage the need for safer language, then no one should be an ally.Originally posted by Psychic Missile View PostMicah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?Comment

Psychic Missile, as an aside, do I recall you saying that you are black? That is in my faulty memory somewhere. That does not really change anything I wrote.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?Comment

Yeah, I remember a Promise Keepers rally in Dallas some years ago, and a black speaker was speaking to 40,000 men, with LOTS of blacks in attendance, and he asked "how many people here were ever a slave or a slave owner", then "how many people here - one of your parents was a slave or a slave owner", then, "how many people here, one of your grandparents was a slave or a slave owner?"Originally posted by Jedidiah View Post
Then he yelled, "OK, so GET OVER IT!" and the applause was thunderous and lasted for quite some time.
There has got to be a point at which we say, "OK, that was then, this is now".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment

You don't get to determine whether someone is an ally or not.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostNeither of which you are.

Indeed, you and the rest of the people who whine constantly about this stuff need to grow up and accept today as today.Originally posted by Jedidiah View PostComment

They prefer to whine that liberals are too whiny. And then whine about white straight Christian males losing their grip on absolute power in their country. And then whine at all sorts of other things that offend their precious worldviews or their sense of the 'correct' social order (with them on top and everyone else on the bottom).Originally posted by Jaecp View Post"I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Sure. It just wouldn't be unusual if that association was made.Originally posted by Jedidiah View Post
That's my line. We are seeing the group in power, straight white Christian men, being forced to share their country more and more. On the first page of this thread, we saw people incredulous that someone would think about death by hanging outside of a frontier justice context. Rather than concede that other people's cultures and viewpoints are valid, they chose to cling to a firm devotion to a singular and unyielding dominant culture and viewpoint. Living in the past is a useless endeavor.Originally posted by Jedidiah View Post
I know you don't believe that, because I can't imagine you would use racial slurs, at the very least, around unfamiliar people.Originally posted by Jedidiah View Post

I really wanted to respond to this with "Oh, you have black friends so everything's cool" but I wanted to let you have first crack at that.Originally posted by Psychic Missile View Post
I didn't think to say "That's our line" though, so props to you for that one :PComment

You want to count how many threads right now are just these old conservatives complaining about how life is different now? I don't really want to, but if you're bored <3 <3 <3 (make sure you note how many of them weren't started by Seer or Cow Poke, too ;)Originally posted by Starlight View PostComment

About half of the front page of this forum currently are whiny complaints that life is different nowadays. CP and Seer were usually the instigators, but 2 are by demi-conservative.Originally posted by Jaecp View Post"I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
