  • 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.

White men...u ok?

You suggest it was leftists who called in bomb threats to HBCUs hoping to frame the right, but you’re not blaming the leftists?
Ah, I see, doubleplus goodthought, comrade!



Whatever helps you sleep.
You're claiming I said it's got to be the left making those calls, when I said it could be the left making those calls. It's like I'm not even allowed to speculate when it comes to the left being responsible for or guilty of anything. Have you guys come up with a name for that yet, like "leftophobe"?

Well, I’m going to wait until I get more information about this all before I go to all the bother of forming an opinion about it all. But, speculate, away, then, if you’d like…maybe yetis are influencing politics to usher in a New Ice Ace?

There's not much to speculate over. It's pretty cut and dry. All that's coming to light is just further verification.

White men are being attacked though accusations of being racist, prejudiced, bigoted, privileged, slave owners etc etc. Even by other white men. There's the if you're a white man and you're totally woke and go along with white guilt and condemn white men who aren't woke, you're still a lower subspecies, but tolerable.
When a white man shoots a white man, the LOGICAL thing to do is take it out on people of colour?
Because even THAT, somehow, is their fault I guess.

Wring again, I'm saying why a white man shot a white man. I didn't bring people of color into it at all. It's amazing how often you add stuff to my posts that isn't there.

Occam's razor.
Why would Kirk supporters make terroristic threats to HBCUs, when Kirk never spoke against them and it's not at all what Kirk would want? It seems more likely that HBCUs to make it look racist and we all know who the left loves to accuse those they don't like of being racist.

Kirk has literally has said many a disparaging statement against blacks in specific, and I would assume he has followers that hang on to his every word. And why "It seems more likely that HBCUs to make it look racist" by being the recipient of death threats.

No, he said disparaging things against the DEI hiring of people only because they're black rather than because they're qualified.

That was sloppy of me. It should've been It seems more likely that HBCUs were specifically targeted to make it look racist.

Well there certainly be nothing rude about the thought of puzzlement and admission of ignorance. But you did not write that in your post 9. You wrote ( can you use some further words to explain your seemingly absent logic ) Perhaps by simply asking someone for more information would have received a more respectful reply than writing about my ( seemingly absent logic ) But thank you for the explanation. Ophiolite you mention your signature. Your signature being a ( recalcitrant procrastinating ape ) you be referring to that as your signature ? Well me not know if you be so . But are you an ape ? And If so. Then you be the first talking ape me do ever know : ) Wishing you a pleasant morning in your UK . Kathleen
Well, I'll apologise again for conveying a message to you that was not my intent.

Now, my signature is not the words below my avatar, but three observations below the text of each message, which the forum chooses to call a signature. The relevant observation reads:

If you have not understood what I have posted the fault is probably mine. Ask for clarification. I expect the same courtesy from you.

You can view it by hitting the words Toggle Signature. at the bottom of this post.

As to being a talking ape, scientifically that is beyond dispute. Humans are classified as apes. When you look in a mirror you see an ape. If that offends you I can be of no help in the matter. You would need to take it up with hundreds of thousands of zoologists, anthropologists and the like. If you wish to debate that, best start a new thread, we've derailed this one enough.

Yes. You are saying a white man shot a white man because coloured and white people were calling them racist. That doesn't ADD sense to your answer to the question of "why are white people threatenning coloured people if a white guy shot their hero"?


No, he said disparaging things against the DEI hiring of people only because they're black rather than because they're qualified.
Yes. Unfortunately that shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how DEI hiring ACTUALLY works.....which is actually a SUPER fundamental part of DEI hiring.

Japan has had gun control policies for centuries, with the first major disarming of the civilian population taking place in the 16th century. Australia has a population of 27 million. If the US just consisted of Texas and was an island and most everyone lived on the coast it could be compared to Australia.

How does DEI hiring ACTUALLY work?

And the peanut is neither a pea, nor a nut.
Did you mean to reply to me with that information?

When there are two EQUALLY QUALIFIED CANDIDATES, the minority should be chosen.

It's not: We gotta jam an asian guy in here!

It also isn't: Well, the black guy has only 1 year of university but the white guy has a 4 year degree. Oh well....let's offer it to the black guy.

There are reasons why gun control in Japan and Australia work that don't apply to the US. Because the US hasn't had gun control since the 16th century nor does it have a population of only 27 million mostly living on the coasts of an island.

I was hoping you'd quote the policy rather than just give a personal interpretation or surmisal of it. Is what you said based on what you actually read in the policy itself? Did you actually read the actual policy itself?

It seems like there are a LOT of instances of racialized threats and calls to violence.


It was a white guy who shot him. Super white.
Why are they fighting back and against whom? They don't even know if they can be angry at a leftist about this yet.

Edit:
Here's one
“White men fight back” Protests erupt in Huntington Beach in wake of Charlie Kirk murder - BeachGrit

Other examples exist.

Are we to believe there isn't racism going on here?


Edited for clarity
My husband, a white man, says “choose the bear.”

I have to be a Vanity Fair subscriber to read the whole article. How about a video clip of Charlie Kirk himself actually saying whatever, rather than Ta-Nehisi Coates telling me what he said?

This is from the article. The links go to the source as requested. They were included in the piece.

Kirk habitually railed againstBlack crime,” claiming that “prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people.” He repeated the rape accusations against Yusef Salaam, a member of the exonerated Central Park Five who is now a New York City councilman, calling him a “disgusting pig” who had gotten away with “gang rape.”

Whatever distaste Kirk held for Blacks was multiplied when he turned to those from Haiti. Haiti was, by Kirk’s lights, a country “infested with demonic voodoo,” whose migrants were “raping your women and hunting you down at night.” These Haitians, as well as undocumented immigrants from other countries, were “having a field day,” per Kirk, and “coming for your daughter next.” The only hope was Donald Trump, who had to prevail, lest Haitians “become your masters.”

The point of this so-called mastery was as familiar as it was conspiratorial—“great replacement.” There was an “anti-white agenda,” Kirk howled. One that sought to “make the country more like the Third World.”
