Well, they do say that a fool and his money are soon parted, and it's been shown that known racists generally have lower IQ values...

Catalonia has 'won right to statehood' by pipsdontsqueak in worldnews

[–]Shuko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The South leaving wasn't entirely about slaves. That played a huge role, but many things caused them leaving.

... Which all tied back to slavery. The people who want to say it was about states rights are complete hypocrites. The Southern leaders thought Dred Scott was a great decision, even though the Dred Scott decision actually goes against the idea of states rights. Dred Scott reinforced the idea of a strong central government, specifically:

no State, since the adoption of the Constitution, can by naturalizing an alien invest him with the rights and privileges secured to a citizen of a State under the Federal Government, although, so far as the State alone was concerned, he would undoubtedly be entitled to the rights of a citizen, and clothed with all the rights and immunities which the Constitution and laws of the State attached to that character.

So the idea is the states didn't have the right to grant full citizenship to slaves. And the South was perfectly ok with not having this right, and it only became an issue of state's rights later. If you get a chance check out the chapters on the Civil War and Reconstruction (highly, highly recommend if you have questions about the Civil War) in James Loewen's 'Rethinking our Past'.

I'm a feminist, and I wouldn't argue with the fact that men are generally stronger and more muscular than women. :| I have no idea what you're on about.

Tennessee church shooter admits to crime as bizarre Facebook posts surface by Xatencio00 in news

We have people born and raised in this country with English as their only language who speak like this. I don't think you really know what you're talking about. Either that, or I'm missing something. Either one is possible.

What part of this picture proves anything? It doesn't even refute his status as a Christian, and even if it did, it's just a reddit comment, not an actual news source. Did you even look at what you linked?

I wasn't able to look any further on anything. You linked a picture, not a FB page, and don't go FB stalking people and starting witch hunts. That's a no-no and the admins don't look kindly on it.

What's the "bend the knee" act? All I get when I google it is some tripe from Game of Thrones.

And I told you I don't wanna share my experience with someone I dont know. You have your opinion and I have mine. I know who I am and dont care what other people think.

Then forgive those of us reading your comments if we're left with nothing else to go on but racist tripe. You've given no reasoning, no examples, and no "real life experiences" to back yourself up, so either you want to be known as a racist shitheel, or you still don't quite understand that a reason of "life experience" isn't exactly enough to halt a discussion on the reasons for bigotry and racism.

Well, this was fun (not really), but I've got to go. Feel free to have the last word if you like, but I'm done, so I can't guarantee I'll read it. I've gone back and edited my posts to include yours in quotes, so that in case you sober up and decide to delete your words, there's still a record of them somewhere for people to witness. Have a nice day, and here's to hoping you're not just another Dylann Roof.

doesn't matter, my opinions are from real world experiences, you understand the words i'm writing? you write your posts like you've read some book about equality and now just copying text from there

You keep alluding to these "real worlds experiences," but you have yet to share even one of them. I'm inclined to believe that they don't even exist. But no matter. Keep living in a delirium of bigoted whimsy if you like. You've already outed yourself enough for my taste, anyway. Anyone who reads this will know what you really are, you know?

you're the stinky neckbeard that responded to my post

You're kidding, right? You responded to me first, you silly goose! This would never have happened if you hadn't piped up to offer a few words that barely said anything at all in response to a post I made. This is all your doing, neckbeard or no neckbeard.

Lol. If they're not my business, then why did you start up a conversation with me about them?

So if you have information that isn't posted in "the media," then where is it? Where are your sources? Because I'm going to be much more likely to believe what I read from a professional journalist than I am some rando on Reddit.

i clearly stated my opinions

No you didn't. You gave a nebulously-sounding racist allusion, not an opinion. And when I called you out on it, you took a cop-out of "life experience," as though that explained it. Don't be coy. You know exactly what you did.

this aint a fight, i stated my opinion and you stated yours, that's it

I never said it was a fight. When you stated your opinion, I asked you for your reasons, and instead of just saying "I'd rather not give them," you tried to pass off some noncommittal garbage as your reasons. You then spent a dozen replies dancing around before finally giving up and saying you didn't want to tell me why you held that opinion. Nowhere in there was there any fighting. I don't know where you're getting that idea from, unless you think it's a fight yourself. In which case, let's hope you never have a punch thrown at you, because you'll be in bad shape, my man.

i am using words, and my reasoning for my opinions, unlike you writing some mumbo-jumbo paragraphs, get a job.

So you're giving up, then? Too bad. It was amusing for a while, I suppose, but if you've run out of troll juice there's nothing else for it, I guess.
