2016 RNC Discussion

[n_huffhines]

This has bothered me the entire convention. If we're going to attack Hillary for merely endangering national security by sharing classified emails - and we should - how can Republicans give a free pass to the Bush administration who we've now learned protected those who helped the 9/11 hijackers actually attack our nation?

If attacking Hillary for endangering America is fair game, will any Republican mention the 28 pages? – Rare

I meant to avoid this nonsense.

You can't avoid being targeted when you are throwing "bigot or racist" grenades around willy-nilly. That's all I'm saying, huff.

 

[Stoked]

Racist bigot and misogynist is a term automatically applied to anyone with an R by their name by people who have no clue as to that person's character

No Al Sharpton is a bigot and he doesn't have an R beside his name.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

He creates racial monoliths when describing someone who isn't white.

i.e. "The" blacks. "The" Hispanics.

His coming out announcement for his presidential campaign was riddled with stereotypical, blanket statements about Mexicans.

The Cinco de Mayo post was culturally ignorant and offensive.

If you want to play semantics with "racist" and "bigot," go ahead. If you really fail to ignore how culturally insensitive and ignorant that ******* is, then that's your decision. I'm not going to attempt to change your ways, but (as is the theme with a lot of my stuff) don't be a p***** and simply own it. Embrace it.

 

[Obsessed]

Some of y'all are way to sensitive.

False, Jesse Jackson, intolerant militant feminists, Black Panther Party, virtually every pundit on MSNBC, free speech Nazis... seems you're the one boxing it all in.

I guess I have to tell him that if he wanted to be a judge he can't because Trump is building a wall, and he has Mexican heritage so it will make him biased.

huh?

OK. I'll destroy your original point, since you won't leave it alone...

Your conclusion that everybody is a bigot is idiotic. If it were true, there wouldn't be a need for the word in the firsy place. We would just use the words person/people. Alternatively, you could use it in place of those words. "I love my wife. She's a really good bigot."

Did we really have to do this?

 

[DinkinFlicka]

You're white. It is inherently harder for you to grasp why thinking Cinco de Mayo is a Hispanic holiday is offensive and I cannot fault you much for that.

However, considering this man is running for President; our prime cultural diplomat... he should know how ****ty it is in failing to make such an elementary distinction. Referring to minorities as "the blacks," or "the Mexicans" is a means of objectifying them.

Not too sensitive. You're just desensitized.

At least on this board, which is heavily weighed with whites living in mostly white towns, suburbs, and rural areas.

 

[Grand Vol]

I used to sleep with this chick who looked like Kate Upton, except her face was different.

Pics or it didn't happen.

And pics of her, not of you

And I'd say you're overly sensitive.

Ans pics of her, not of you

We should just exchange numbers with all the requested photography.

 

[AirVol]

Clinton (x2) is a racist, misandrist and misogynist, narcissist, liar, and greedy. Try to defend it all that you want. She is the most fraudulent and shadiest politician ever running for president. Terrible times for our country ahead. I got taken by a third party candidate twice before, we won't get fooled again. They are all basically the same. Just a D-lite or a R-Lite. Pick your poison.

She couldn't pass a back ground check.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

And I'd say you're overly sensitive.

Better that than numb to the feelings and sentiments of others who walk in a different pair of shoes. It's what separates me from apes.

Maybe you'll be so fortunate as to catch up one day.

So you are being an intolerant bigot (unwilling to see my side). I gotcha.

 

[Stoked]

huh?

The judge is American and was born in Indiana, but has Mexican heritage. Trump said that the judge would be biased towards him because of his Mexican heritage and that he's building a wall. What does Trump's plan of building a wall have to do with his Mexican heritage and affect his ability to be the judge of his case?

My point was that my son has Mexican heritage. Does that mean he wouldn't allowed to be a judge in Trump's eyes as well?

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Really would like to point out the two distinct sides in this argument.

Side 1: illustrates what offensive language is upon request of Side 2. Bites the bullet and argues semantics at the behest of Side 2, which has no argument other than...

Side 2: "You're just sensitive." "You're the bigot."

Numb? No, currently out of 45 full time employees I have 16 black, 13 female one of which is Hispanicish (so double credit), 1 Rican, 1 Cuban and 2 Indians (dot not feather). So the majority of my employees are minorities and I hear it all.

Your arrogance knows no bounds, does it?

The whole "I have minorities working for me so I'm aware" thing fell flat on its face when Trump used it too.

Redundant

Disagreement is not intolerance and I'm OK with being intolerant of stupidity. I'm not expressing prejudice towards a group, I'm clowning your hypothesis.

You want to start with the ad hominems? It ain't even noon yet, hoss.

I would bet that I am exposed to more regular work-a-day minorities and their problems than you my friend.

That's how it works ya know.
