Re: Phat begins new thread
He buys into the Christian right-wing pecking order view of society. One's worth is directly related to the number of people you perceive as below you. Fuck everyone else I got mine.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Phat begins new thread
You are still an idiot.
Who is getting handouts?
Who gets a blank check?
You have shown absolutely no understanding of finance and economics, yet you still attack progressives on this issue.
Teaching people that they are owed something and that they need to stand more for equality rather than personal initiative does nothing to help their culture in the long term
What do you mean by their culture? Nice racist dog whistle.

Re: Conservatives vs Liberals
Why don't you ever address the questions actually posed to you instead of a gish gallop of crap?

It is my fault you are a willfully ignorant racist. I was responding to your OP. Your lies and racism were on your OP not a response. So lying again.

Re: Phat begins new thread
So it was racism. The poor white people, of which there are millions more, get a free pass because they are white? How do you feel about latinos and hispanics? Asians? Indigenous people?
Unless your father was a generation older than my parents I call bullshit on .20/hour. The minimum wage was .25 in 1938. In the 1930's my grandfather worked for $8/week in Puerto Rico. That works out to .20/hr in a 40-hour work week but he worked more than 40.

Yet another lie.

Yet you do.
People should be judged on the content of their character.
Yet you do not.
Ben Shapiro, is vilified not for being Jewish but for being Conservative. And he is not racist, either.
Yeah, he is. And why should he be vilified for being Jewish?

Re: You seem to have a chip on your shoulder.
Everyone can be racist. Everyone has racist tendencies. Most of us try to deal with it and change to evidence based views of people. People like you and Shapiro like to shout them out and deny any rational evidence based view of people that are different.
If you want people to stop calling you a racist, quit posting racist comments.

No, you don't. You don't even understand what that means. You like the sounds of the words.

Re: racism
2023 we live in a rural area of WI. My mother in law and her son live with us. He is 16 and black. She adopted him after she retired as a teacher and lived in South Africa to volunteer at homes for sickly children. He had hydrocephalus and a stroke at 3. He has some cognitive and physical impairment but is a talented actor and musician.
He is one of 3 black kids in the High School. This school year 3 kids have been suspended for use of the n-word. At the beginning of the year, I posted an open letter on Facebook reminding the district and paresnts that no racism would be tolerated and if the district and parents did not take care of it, I would have lawyers take care of it.
I am a racists worst nightmare. A Hispanic with a little bit of money that knows how to use the legal system.
Phat will never understand the feeling of watching your black child drive away. Knowing that if they get pulled over there is a fairly good chance your child will be injured or killed.
To Phat and all other racists. Go fuck yourselves

Re: Tax The Rich
Are you lying or misrepresenting? Income tax is based on income not assets, but you know that. Only about .1% or less than 350,000 people make more than $1 million per year. If you have a source that says otherwise present it, if not retract.
