It’s Hollywood.  She spoke out as a strong conservative in a liberal-run arena.  Not that I agree with what she said, but even had she said it without the racist slant to it, I am sure she would have not been in favor given the venue.

The key is that she said something racist. 

When is it ever viable to tolerate racism?

England filled up prisons with debtors and then made them go to Georgia or remain in Jail. Agree not exactly the same as being sold into slavery by fellow black people,  Granted I know people from Africa are not black..but still. Point is Black people are not the only group that has ever been used as slaves 

You should look up what a indentured servant was in the mid-atlantic because they pretty much were slaves to the Aristocrat Elite that ruled the colony at the time. If there was an issue with between a IS and his master who do you think was the judge between the two??? It was either the Master's kin or a close friend/relative of the master. If the servant was found in error then more years could be added to his/her sentence.

I don't feel it is appropriate to call individuals  out. 

Then why say it if you don't want to say that xyz is being racist??? Also nice dodge BTW of not replying back to me.

I never called anyone "racist".

I simply commented on the tone of the board. 

 

I don't know anyone as an individual, so it would be a reach to attach such a label.

Interesting, I feel it has become much more tolerant.

This message board is turning more and more white nationalisty

More and more posts promote anti-minority and/or anti-diversity

 

You stated the above and according to people on your side of the aisle White Nationalism is racism, so you basically insinuated that we are racists. As anything labeled as "Anti-Diversity" is basically being racist and xenophobic by the MDL.

 

So you did in short call us racist but nice try in trying to suddenly deflect that you called us that. I have seen a pattern with you is that anything or anyone that doesn't agree with your line of thinking is suddenly a "White Nationalist" or they are being " Anti-Minority" or "Anti-Diversity". Which is really typical for the radical MDL this day and age.

I'm sorry you feel that way. 

 

But my comment litterally says " board".

Isn't the board made up of the posters here?  Kind of like corporations are made up of people.

Yes.. 

But it doesn't change the fact that I was commenting on the tone. 

 

This country as a collective is headed in a protectionist/nationalist direction. 

Does that make me or my neihbors automatically protectionist or nationalistic?

No.

I am pro-diversity and pro-anybody in general that come here LEGALLY and FOLLOW THE LAWS. So trying to say that some of us here are "Anti-Minority or Anti-Diversity" would be a crock. You basically saying that I am a racist against anyone other than white when in reality that is far from the case. So you are basically implying that I hate my wife and my youngest daughters because they are of another race. I am guessing that the woman in your picture is your wife right? Did you know that on a good day with no sun or anything my wife is darker than yours, and my kids are about as dark as she is now WITHOUT GOING IN THE SUN? So when they actual go in the sun to play then they get a lot darker.

Never.  Racism needs to be shut down at every occurrence.

 

Just like you got shut down for your comment for which you cannot provide a shred of evidence.  Just take your lumps,  admit you were wrong, and let's all move forward as one big, almost -happy family. 

 

To say the boards have a "white tone" to them may have been a tad more accurate (yet still unnecessary).  But nationalistic?  No way.  Not with the current crowd.  That's why I asked for examples, to see if it were happening but I had missed it.

Sure it does since as you stated you said "board" and you can equate "board" with posters, therefore you were referring to other posters it would seem.  I assume you mean those that don't agree with you politically.

   Some posters here are very focused on race and constantly post topics portraying minorities in a negative light. There is no point disputing that as all we have to do is look back a few pages and count the topics. It's also quite easy to look at the topics started by any individual and see a pattern. 

 

    None of that means all posters are acting that way, and Keith did not call anyone out personally, so I'm not sure why some are taking it that way. It's apparent when someone does it, it always has been,  and we know in the past people have got away with it. Until at some point they got to be to much,  and probably got reported enough times to alert moderation to a pattern.
