Greatest I am writes: Fuck you.
No, thanks. And I predict that I will be here a lot longer than you.
Message 41Greatest I am writes: Not to date has even one member here acknowledged his tribal/racist nature.
I have acknowledged my racist nature.
Greatest I am writes: If you admit to it, have you connected it to your fellowship desires, which we all crave?
That's like asking, "If you like ice cream, have you connected it to your craving for sweets?" Yes, I have. And duh.

Greatest I am writes: Stay in context...
I am in context. I quoted you directly. And I responded to what I quoted.
Greatest I am writes: ... argue...
It's your turn to argue. Respond to what I said.
Greatest I am writes: ... or fuck off.
I already told you that's not going to happen.
Message 45Greatest I am writes: Racism is born of fellowship. Show the flaw in fellowship.
You said it yourself. The flaw in fellowship is racism.

Greatest I am writes: What is wrong with discriminating positively for your own tribe or color?
It doesn't happen in a vacuum. Positive discrimination automatically comes with negative discrimination.

Greatest I am writes: Love creates hate. Good creates evil.
No. Positive discrimination is necessarily paired with negative discrimination. Spend more money on white education and you necessarily have less to spend on black education. That isn't love/hate or good/evil. It's mathematics.

Greatest I am writes: As long as we evolve, we will compete in various ways, as we seek the fittest of us. What is stupid is that we are not acknowledging our fittest and brightest and giving them power.
You don't understand survival of the fittest. We don't control who is "fittest". The fitness test can only be done in hindsight. We can see who was fittest because they survived. But we can not predict who will be fittest in the future. Evolution was a way of sneaking into niches that we didn't even know were there.

Sure I do. You expressed your views and I responded to what you said. Now give me a substantial response to what I said.

Greatest I am writes: Collateral damage that the stupid right wingers did not see.
Are you surprised to find out that right-wingers are stupid? Did you really think they would have policies that would achieve their goals?

Greatest I am writes: You are stupid to think that we can survive without competing.
When did I say we could survive without competing? Back in Message 63 I said that we can not predict what "fittest" will mean in the future. Therefore, we can not predict what area of competition will make us "fitter".

Greatest I am writes: Are right wingers more moral and richer than the left?
Richer? Often yes. More moral? Usually no. It's hard to get rich by being moral.
Greatest I am writes: The conservative right are pushing a restitution agenda, indirectly, while the liberal left wingers want to maintain the status quo.
That statement makes no sense. Try again.

Greatest I am writes: It become clear when one pays attention and is not just looking for attack points, although I do not mind those if it leads to thought.
Your OP seems to be an attack point with little or no thought behind it.
Greatest I am writes: The right is shooting itself in the foot by setting up a system that will have more non-whites helped along than whites.
The right tends to have polices that are beneficial to the rich and detrimental to society as a whole. All you're saying is that the right is the right.
Greatest I am writes: I have been calling that the whites giving restitution to non-whites, as it will cost all whites a lot of cash.
So, are you against restitutuion?

Greatest I am writes: I am Canadian. As a country, we never thought that some of us were created to be beneath others and of lower worth.
That's the propaganda but we have never really lived up to our desired image.
Greatest I am writes: We never embraced slavery the way right wing Americans and others of low moral intelligence still do.
 We JUST had Emancipation Day on August 1:
quote
"This historic day paved the way to freeing over 800,000 enslaved Africans and their descendants in Canada, parts of the Caribbean, Africa, and South America." -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

And by the way, we've been observing Emancipation Day since waaaaay back in 2021.

Expecting you to straighten us out is almost the definition of discussion.

Greatest I am writes: This may be true to some, but not for the most intelligent.
The words "most intelligent" tend to make warning lights flash. (Would the "most intelligent" be you, by any chance?)
Greatest I am writes: Today, are we not mostly giving our best and brightest the top positions in business, sports, politics, etc.
Top position in politics = POTUS. True. Best and brightest = Trump. False. I gues the obvious answer to your question is, "No."
Greatest i am writes: When do we give top positions to less than the fittest?
See above.
