Is anyone else scared?

What I've showed you is how black people have gotten so many extra rights and privileges, and you still don't recognize it.

Did you say all this when Al Gore used the legal system and challenged the results in Florida?

Did he allege voter fraud?

Very scared. I wish this was all over!

Aldebaran said:

Doesn't matter. If there appears to be irregularities of any kind, the person has the right to use the legal system to investigate it. In Gore's case, the challenge lasted well into December. We're nowhere near that yet.

There doesn’t appear to have been any meaningful fraud, though. Sure, fraud happens every election, but it yields votes in the triple digits at best. Trump lost by more than 4 million votes. He’s well within his rights to demand investigation, but it’s pretty transparently a last-ditch effort to avoid admitting defeat. He probably never will.

Aldebaran said:

That doesn't explain why only liberal views are shown on MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, etc.
Conservatives have to go to talk radio to be heard, or to hear their own views expressed.

Conservatives currently run two (and a half) branches of government and the largest cable network in America. Don’t talk to me about unheard. You’re the establishment. Even the “liberal” networks have to cater to your anti-SocDem agenda.

Interesting you don’t deny being a racist or fascist.

Trump as we all know can't handle losing, what damage do you think Trump will cause out of spite until January?

Nope. God is in control. Romans 13.

Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

I've learned long ago that denying being a racist when accused of being one always results in a response of "Denying being a racist is what a racist would do". So why bother?

As for the accusation of "facist", I think you should look up the definition of words before throwing them around: "Fascism, political ideology and mass movement that dominated central, southern, and eastern Europe between 1919 and 1945."

I’m not really interested in pursuing this question of whether or not you’re a racist. The things you say are racist whether you realize it or not, so I’m considering that matter settled. You’re simply in the wrong.

As for fascism, I don’t think you could have chosen a less descriptive definition to paste if you tried. I suspect you don’t know much about fascism beyond a few vaguely associated images of goose-stepping soldiers on parade in the early 20th century, but you should know that fascism is more of a theme or phenomenon than a distinct ideology. What specifically struck me as fascist from your replies was your willingness to label me a terrorist just for offering an alternate perspective to yours, along with your uncritical support of a president whose legacy meets more than a few of Umberto Eco’s 14 common features of fascism, even now when he is so plainly lying to benefit himself.

But this is veering off topic. Trump does not have enough social or political capital to make this “second Trump term” a reality, at least not this cycle. He will be declared the official loser as his voter fraud lawsuits are dropped or dismissed for lack of evidence. It’s just horrifying that it got this close.

It's funny that you think an ideology can only exist within a brief time frame. Especially when your party is busy embodying many of its tenets.

Aldebaran said:

Am I wrong to assume that black people would rather be known for their actions and character rather than their skin color. Yet black people make "history" by simply doing something while black now. Also, we have TV shows now vowing to make sure at least 50% of their cast members are "of color" now. Pointing out the wrongness of this is now racist.
CBS Vows 50 Percent of Its Reality-Show Contestants Will Be People of Color.

You’re obsessed and clearly contemptuous of black people. You take every chance to rail against anything pertaining to them. It’s not healthy. Maybe see someone about that.

The only reason someone doing something while black is noteworthy is because for centuries white people didn’t allow black people to do those things. There’s a reason it took 44 tries before there was a black president.

Aldebaran said:

And even after Barack succeeded (twice), and now a black is tentatively going to be VP, the accusations of America being systematically racist persist more than ever.

That would be because as a country you're still systematically racist. In the entire history of the US you've had exactly 10 black senators. You currently have 3. Out of 50.

Strictly speaking, Pres. Obama is half black. As is our Vice President-elect. It took a while, but the US is taking steps toward the time when the race of a chief executive is totally a non-issue. Which is more than Europe has done. Have any of the EU nations had a black, or mixed race President or PM?

Aldebaran said:

It looks like you're more interested in making personal accusations against me than answering my question or addressing the issue I raised. It's typical of the "You're just a racist!" crowd. You seem more interested in making accusations than having a discussion.

You focused in on my observation of your racist attitudes and ignored my other points about fascism, Trump, riots, and alleged electoral fraud. Now you’re complaining that all we’re discussing is your racism? What a victim you are!
