[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 76853483, member: 302807"] I can easily point out threads about racism towards minorities and non-whites. I don't believe you've actually failed to see them. Which is called goalpost shifting. You didn't have the great number of threads you based your perceptions on.... Your claim was that I overly posted about racism towards whites. I'm just keeping you honest here. I asked for evidence, and the post where you gave it....you included non-evidence. I've answered this perhaps 3 or 4 times now.... You clearly don't want to address my response. I'm not going to repeat the same answers again. Because I can only assume you aren't seriously interested in a discussion. You want affirmation for your biases....or possibly validation for this performance. Your perceptions are wrong. I even pulled a quote from one of your examples that states my position clearly...and it contradicts your perceptions. I can easily pull clear examples of racism from my threads....because it's stated openly. I don't have to assume racism is happening or take it on faith. I can provide examples....it's spoken out loud. I won't be congratulating you on your new dogmatic beliefs. They are vile. Here's the main difference between us I think.... You abandon all the critical thinking and reasoning that you apply to god when considering other topics. I don't. You see a disparity....and hear an explanation that's emotionally satisfying....your peers are repeating it....who needs evidence? I'm sure you're familiar with the "god of the gaps" argument....you now believe in a "racism of the gaps argument". You don't have any laws or policies to point to....you don't have any significant evidence for your beliefs at all. You've accepted them on faith...by self proclaimed authorities. A disparity displayed as a problem....an explanation of racism taken on faith. You're even told what it is forbidden for you to question....and you obey just like you were sitting in a pew. It's easier to just go along with the rest of the crowd....isn't it? It may not be honest, may not be true, and there's certainly nothing brave about it. I think some people simply want the safety of numbers and feel good about themselves when they are told they have some moral authority. I don't accept such things on faith. I don't need to. I'm not seeking approval or group membership. They don't have anything to offer me. You aren't actually interested in dialogue....if you were, you'd address my answers instead of repeating your questions as if you couldn't read my responses. We can discuss the issue...but instead of that...you've decided to moralize and attack my character. I can only assume that is because you aren't able to defend this position of unearned moral righteousness that you feel entitled to for your faith. That's an assumption though...and subject to revision should any contradictory evidence reveal itself. [/QUOTE]
