In reply to the discussion: Prejudice against whites is not the same as prejudice against blacks [View all]TeamsterDem
(1,173 posts)I ask because nowhere did I accuse you of anything. I simply said that you stated in plain English that it's not the same for someone to discriminate against blacks as it would be to discriminate against whites. Where did I pull that from? Well, your OP which is titled as "Prejudice against whites is not the same as prejudice against blacks." So silly me, I took what YOU WROTE to mean what you think. I know, crazy, isn't it?
It seems as though you not only don't understand what I wrote, but even more disturbingly you don't even seem to understand what YOU wrote. That I find striking. You don't seem to understand that laden in your OP title it explicitly says that prejudice against whites is not the same as other prejudices, a statement which by almost any objective standard seems to suggest that anti-black prejudice by whites is simply more abhorrent than any other form of "reverse" discrimination. You can try and say that's not what you meant all day long, but the fact is that even if you didn't mean it that at best makes your argumentation style and efficacy very dubious, at best. Hell you don't even know what you're writing, why in the world would anyone give you much credibility? The short answer is that they won't because they shouldn't.
All I've ever "accused" you of is what you wrote in your OP. I didn't modify it or read anything into it: It's right there in black and white for all to see. That you are now somewhat uncomfortable with your own phrasing would normally suggest to a rational person that they tweak their statement, but you instead go off on some tangent, inventing a million different things that I supposedly did to your glorious OP when, in reality, I didn't distort the thing at all. I don't have to, you distorted things just fine when you penned the OP.
Speaking of screen names, yours is interesting given your particular statements inasmuch as much like many modern-day creeks your ideas seem laden with, shall we say, refuse.
