"Racist" posters on the Univ of MD campus

[Marvin Knox]

You are putting the horse before the wagon.
Trump's racist rhetoric initiated anti Trump demonstrations.
There is NOTHING about those demonstrations that target any specific race.
It is his rhetoric that is the issue not his Anglo American race nor the race of any of his supporters..

There is no "Trump racist rhetoric" IMO.

Could you provide it for us if there is?

And please don't trot out the stuff about the rapist and drug dealing Mexicans being sent by Mexico. That has been dealt with many times by Trump.

To keep repeating it without his explanations is dishonest to say the least.

Thanks for making my point for me.
The fact that the people in the poster could be construed as northern Europeans gets you all in a lather.

I think you have a problem with English comprehension. Try re-read my posting, and reflect on the words : 'caricature', 'Aryan' and 'ubermensch' ; also, on my remark concerning Hitler's unfortunate admixture of melanin. I understand he was a northern European.

I know this is OT, but I wonder how many of those 'demonstrations' as people call it would have happened if they were not paid to do them.

Would you like conservative publication's list of Obama's racism?

Too much nonsense in that article to even address.

You are welcome to your opinion and your choice of sources.

We'll just leave these things where they are if that's OK.

He has just appointed two individuals who have a dubious reputation in reference to racism. That isn't a cause for concern either?

Obama ís out of office now and is no longer a danger if indeed he ever was one.
Also, you are using the two-wrongs-make-a-right fallacy.

Looking back into our history, I mean those who profess Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, I wonder if we have not often looked to man rather than God. Laws are good when used lawfully but they are for the ungodly and unbelieving. I do not believe democracy/capitalism has any more power to change a person's heart than communism , socialism , monarchy or any other form of government. It certainly gives us more freedom ( and the ability to acquire wealth ) but has that wealth made us like the laocidain;s in the book of Revelations ? I mean truly are we busy storing up treasures in heaven as Christ has told us or are we more concerned with "protecting our borders " and such. The message of the early church was " save your self from the wrath that is to come." President Obama , Mr.Trump , George Washington , Nakita Khrushchev ....like us, they are but men. Are we trying to bring about the Kingdom of God in men's hearts through carnal means ? What about " Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world ? I believe we may be chasing that which perishes. Is God sovereign or is He constrained by forms of government and the elected officials ?

I'm not looking to reenguage or prolong this discussion.

But for the record - 2 wrongs don't make a right nor was I using that argument.

I was simply meaning to show that anyone who is against either Obama or Trump can cobble together things which show, at least on the surface, what you want to show.

It's been done to Obama from the right and it's being done to Trump from the left.

I'd just like people to stop this nonsense and give the man a chance - since he is the country's duly elected choice for president.

These 2 posters were found last week in a couple of buildings on the Univ of Maryland campus in College Park MD.

Students and faculty alike were in shock and fearful.


White nationalist posters found on University of Maryland buildings

Aside from group noted at the bottom of the posters being a known alt-right white nationalist group, do you find anything overtly (or covertly) racist or threatening in these posters?

I just think it's interesting that some of the same people who whine about blacks supposedly segregating themselves because of race are themselves doing it.

Though I may be white, I don't consider caucasians to be "my people" any more than I believe that people of color are not my people. Trace human ancestry back far enough, and we all evolved from the same place. Cultures may be different, but that doesn't mean we can't all get along and act like one species.

White people absolutely have a right to exist. Anyone who says otherwise is a racist and bordering on promoting genocide. And genocide isn't just killing everyone, it's also destroying their culture or other methods that try to eliminate them as a group.

That saying Whites have a right to exist is considered "racist" makes me worried these people really would be OK with White genocide

None.

Exactly.
