Is White Supremacy? the ?Most Lethal Threat to the Homeland?

[pmclaine]

bit dramatic isn't it togor,

using the same historical context, would either of the following be white supremacist?

Pol Pot?
Stalin?
the Turks, against the Armenians?
Spanish vs Natives?
English/US vs Natives?
Chinese vs,, well pick an area on the border of China,,,,?
Japaness vs the Orient?

or numerous tribal 'disagreements' in Africa?

How come when MTG makes that analogy the commies go nuts but commies get to use it to the accompaniment of cricket chirping,

I wonder whose playbook was this incident out of?

A retired Lt. Col, in Ohio is giving an Memorial Day address in which part of it is a story of how freed slaves honored the graves of Union POW dead in the south. The organizers felt it necessary to kill his mic for that part of it, on the reason that it "wasn't relevant to Hudson, Ohio". He persisted and we can all hear what he said for ourselves.

I'm fine with everyone just getting along and not worrying about race, but incidents like this one say that we're not there yet. A brief tale that puts blacks in a sympathetic light for honoring Union war dead (how is that divisive on Memorial Day?) was apparently too much for the event organizers, whether they choose to admit it or not.

This playbook maybe...

Nothing in that link said "no whites allowed" and I question the motives of the people filing the lawsuit. I doubt they planned to attend in sympathy and weren't harmed. More likely they just didn't like the idea of being white and not being warmly welcomed upon entering any room of their choosing.

Anyhoo, if the D playbook is to talk about this stuff, the R playbook is to not talk about it.

Which playbook is the right tool for the times? If there wasn't this race-based stuff going on, being captured on video and finding its way to the internet, then I'd prefer the R playbook over the D playbook. But the fact remains there is this stuff going on, and while I get that some people really really really don't want to talk about this sh*t, talking about it is nonetheless probably the right answer. Because *not* talking about it isn't going to make it go away. And we all want that, right? For the race-based idiocy (on all sides) to run its course?

Your racism is showing.........

I believe it was our own Vern who pointed out that those quick to label others as racist may in fact be covering their own.

Talking about these issues in a forthright way isn't racist. But yeah there are folks who for sure don't want to talk about them.

You guys gotta remember I grew up in the white, blue collar part of Milwaukee. This is an old road to me.
