Guns: how much longer will it take ....

@oralloy,

ever heard of Plessy v. ferguson?

@MontereyJack,

Yes, but I don't have deep knowledge of the case.

@McGentrix,

Nope but we are Americans and the debate is about systemic racism here. And the legacy of four hundred years of it for today. For the record, the Egyptians, the Babylonians ans the Assyrians all enslaved the Hebrews. The Romans enslaved Germanic peoples. The indios of the Americas enslaved other indios captured in wars and sometimes ate them, because indios were all that were here, and the conquistadores then enslaved the indios themselves. All of e\which and many more weren't black-white and are not particularly relevant to the systemic racism here today.
s going on here todsy.

The only systemic racism in America is the racism of progressives.

It was the basis for seventy years of segregation of black people. You know, separate but equal. Which was never equal.

Wrong again. You are the only racist here.

How deeply twisted can you possibly get.

Progressives are the only ones here who are deeply twisted.

I know. Not having deep knowledge of the case doesn't mean I don't have any knowledge at all.

@MontereyJack,

I do. I told that you I've heard of the case.

So, let me start with "Yes, I believe there is systemic racism in America." I also believe there is systemic racism in every other country of the world as well. I think that the majority of America is not racist. I wish that part of America that was racist would change as they are a stain on society.

I think that calling out people on A2K as racists because they believe something different is silly and only causes your argument to appear fanatical.

@McGentrix,

the people i''ve called racists are the ones that repeatedly make racist posts, two in particular. They're pretty flagrant. I appreciate your sincerity but I also think you are understimating the problem substantially,

@MontereyJack,

I grew up around racists. My grandmother was a serious racist from Appalachia and I am not sure they had seen more than a couple black folk until my dad moved them up to central NY with us due to grandfather's illness.

I had a black friend that I played chess with and not realizing the extent of the racism from my grandmother I had invited him over after school. "You can't bring that nigger in the house."

I had no response. My friend and I left and I was deeply apologetic and had no explanation for him. I would never have invited him had I known they were like that.

So, I know racism. It's horrible. Absolutely horrible and what happens on A2K is not racism. There is some prejudice. There is some intolerance. But there is no real racism going on here.

@McGentrix,

That’s nonsense and I’ve heard it before. You can’t say racism only exists in its most extreme form.

There’s no cross over from prejudice to racism, racism is racism. Those individuals are racist, not extreme KKK card carrying racists but racists nonetheless.

You sure are dishonest.

You cannot provide any examples of racism in my posts.

I'm not sure who else MontereyJack is accusing of racism, but those accusations are very likely to be untrue too.

There is only one racist here, and that racist is MontereyJack himself.

Although I'd not be surprised to lean that you are a racist too. It's certainly the sort of person that you are.

I'm pretty sure that you cannot provide any examples of racism in any other conservative's posts either.

I can provide examples of racism in your posts however. You posts accusing Egyptians of being Caucasian just so you can falsely accuse Caucasians of all slavery are racist to the extreme.

You're wrong on all counts, as always,.

@oralloy,

Read my posts again, including subsequent ones. You're wrong, as always. look at the sculptural and wall paintings and you'll see I'm right. Caucasians enslaved caucasians. Everybody has enslaved everybody else at one time or another, but in the Americas, which is where we are now and where people are demonstrating for justice and social justice, whites enslaved blacks (and indigenous peoples), so that is what we are concerned with, and which you seem to be determined to absolve..
