• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm a conservative who believes systemic racism is real

Because a lot of non-whites hate white people, we see already how even a singer said that the American flag is now the "new Confederate Flag".

"Alot"? That's an extraordinary claim, and that requires extraordinary evidence that I just don't see presented.

When they quartered off living areas and out black peoples there that had no access to work or opportunities. The government oppressed black people. Not white people
the government that still happens to be mostly controlled by white people... wow that one way of avoiding the issue i guess. near total denial of basic realities.

I'm sure some singer somewhere said that at some time, and I'm sure nobody has been moved to take it for action.

this is actually true but it’s not a fair representation to the facts. The violence by black people are undoubtedly apparent based on Circumstances. There are less blacks in western culture making them a minority making them a constant target for those who seek domination and control.
They're based on hatred and envy, not 'circumstances'.

But just to be clear, before the immigration the population of the USA was 100% human and today after further decades of immigration I understand the population of the USA is still 100% human. What is it you see as a difficulty?
Because immigrants vote Democrat, and Republicans follow Democrats.

And that's a bad thing... how? Where in the US Constitution does it say that only white people deserve citizenship rights?
Mestizos vote Democrat. I don't care for what is or isn't in the Constitution. I'm sure the Constitutions' authors would oppose non-white immigration if you care about that.

I’m pretty sure that the Founders were more concerned with the indigenous peoples already populating the land, (and getting rid of them) to be worried about people of color from elsewhere setting up shop in the fledging nation.

Benjamin Franklin famously had troubles with Germans moving into Pennsylvania (they wouldn’t even bother to learn English!)

None of the founders wanted homosexual black women to vote. The founders are alien to modern USA.

Well, I am a Democrat so I really don't have a problem with it. But the idea that Latinos only vote Democrat is a racist trope that is untrue. Large numbers of Latinos will vote for a Republican candidate if they think its in their interests to do so.

And rightfully so. Our immigration should be open and robust but only with people who want to be American. Not people who simply want to come here to occupy a spot

I'm not clear what you mean. Are you saying groups of humans don't think of all humanity as basically being the same as them? That groups of humans are basically racist? Would that apply to a group such as Christians?

Do you want me to find a study that say how much do they love white people or something?

I feel you are doing it in bad faith, but by believing in groups I mean like Latin American immigrants who associate among themselves and view themselves as a group, or do you think that means that they view ONLY themselves as 100% human?
