Thread Name: BS: KKK/Tea Party Day
Subject: RE: BS: KKK/Tea Party Day
Ain't pre-judgin' on my part, Sawz... We ont the left have seen this movie before... No!!! Not just seen but been in that movie... Ya' see, (and this is something you can't understand because you have not been in the middle of that movie) there is a lot of code words that people of "hate" use over and over and over and so having been thru this in a very involved manner when we hear these words and phrases the "red light" lights up automatically....

Phrases like "get the government out of our lives" has racist code drippin' all over it... It is the same language that the Klan and John Bircherd used in the 50s and 60s... Exact same... Hmmmmmm??? Talk of succession??? When did we last hear of that and what was implied there???

So, it isn't "pre"juding" you are hearing from me.... It is a well earned bias... Bias's are learned... I mean, we put our hand on a hot stove and get burned so we don't repeat that... That, in essence, is a learned bias...

So, yeah, you have my full permission and blessing to say that I am biased when I see a band of white people who are using phrases and/or behaviors that are the exact same as their daddies and grand daddies used to fight against racial equality... I will own up to that...

But I really don't expect you to have any understanding because, no offense, but you are ignorant to these things... It's a lot easier for you, and lots of other white people, to sing the fight song that is put in your heads by the powerful and rich who want to stay that way and use divisive issues to do exactly that...

Too bad for you... I mean, you argue so forcefully but when it comes to having any understanding of the realities of the civil rights movement yer tank is empty...

Square business...
