http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ca...rt-says/ar-AAqaX1U?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp In number of hate groups!. Don't know how it compares per capita but interesting that California whose residents like to think of themselves as diverse, cosmopolitan, sophisticated and tolerant is home to just about the worst both in degree and absolute terms of the most vile hate promoting organizations. They need to get more Midwestern in their disposition.
This report is simply regurgitating propaganda from the Southern Poverty Law Center, an liberal activist group that uses the label of "hate group" to undermine legitimate conservative groups & causes. The SPLC has about as much credibility as the Nobel Peace Prize voting committee. Also, this Fox News story is a perfect example of the kind of lazy "journalism" practiced by internet writers. Simply regurgitating a report written by an advocacy group without bothering to do even a minimal amount of independent research to determine whether the group's claims are legitimate isn't "journalism," at least not the sort that should be listened to. How about an investigation into the criteria the SPLC uses to label people as hate merchants?
And @Quest is the perfect example of the kind of vapid human cattle that accepts anything he reads without bothering to exercise any critical thinking skills. People like @Quest aren't interested in looking behind the curtain, they care only about headlines and bumpersticker slogans.
^I have no reason to believe that the Southern Poverty Law Center would be biased against California though.
Yes, hate groups exist here. Even with in liberal areas like the major cities. But I've come to realize a lot of native Californian don't seem to think that this stuff exists here. The day after the election, some friends of mine back home in NorCal heard people in Dennys saying, quite loudly with no shame, that they couldn't wait for Trump to start shipping Mexicans back. Most of the high schoolers I went to school with--kids I hung out with and had similar interests with because I thought Other Black Kids were losers with nothing to offer me--considered themselves liberal back then and many probably still do, but they don't get why BLM was created. They think it's about thugs killing cops for giggles and shits. I have a white guy whose been trying to get into my pants for YEARS who is first in line to spew out "not all whites." If his constant interrupting with his "wisdom" and insisting I'm wrong about things that I know inside and out (such as how many seasons and series of Star Trek were produced and when TNG aired ) hadn't killed it for me, this certainly would have. And plus, there's a very real phenomenon here that for all the comparative safety blacks have here (four years of driving and I've never been pulled over by a cop for having too nice of a car), there's still a lot of self-hatred. I know this because I see it in myself when I read some of my old posts here about how ignorant blacks were as a whole, because I'd never known very many to do much with their lives. I didn't realize how much I benefitted from white privilege just by living in a middle class area with a school that had a thriving AP program. I had white friends who were all nice to me and their parents all liked me, so I get why I had that Raven-Symone level of ignorance. But I have cousins who grew up in the Bay Area in predominantly black neighborhoods swearing off their blackness and buying into the "all black people are dumbasses" myth. That's not something I've ever heard uttered by black folks I've met from the South or the East Coast. It's very strange.
I hope it was clear I was joking, because judging folk based on country of origin is what a Nazi would do (same goes for my "binary thinking" jab in another thread), but if not here's what Arnie actually has to say about this, and god bless his little cotton weightbands:
Horse shoe theory in practice, California is also probably number 1 in far left wing nutjob groups, too.
Per the Southern Poverty Law Center in the article, that's one hate group per every 500,000 people in California. By contrast, according to the same data, Arkansas has one hate group per every 187,500 people. So congratulations on beating California in per capita hate groups, I guess?
Yeah but I figure Arkansas gets attacked here all the time anyway for no good reason. Good to skewer those arrogant Californians who seem to think their state would be some kind of superpower if only they were their own country.
Yes, you really stuck it to those arrogant Californians by your state having a higher per capita rate of hate groups. Kudos, man.
No. Arkansas became a state as the sister state of Michigan in the 1830s. Don't know what you're getting at or what point you wish to make.
Many people at Wordforge like to claim that I'm unintelligent and uneducated. While I would dispute this please keep it in mind and try to explain what you're talking about.
Where did I say that only liberal progressives can be human cattle? The bipedal bovine that believed Trump's bumpersticker bullshit are also bumblefucks. But nice try bringing up Hillary to distract from the current situation.
Queef here will need to point out where I've argued that white nationalist groups such as the ones in the picture are representative of "legitimate conservative groups & causes." We'll be waiting a long time for Queef to do this. Meanwhile, Queef needs to acknowledge that his post was a lazy and transparent attempt to dodge the issue I raised, namely that the SPLC is politically biased and uses the "hate group" label to attack any group that dares to dissent from the liberal progressive political orthodoxy.
Dayton is being dumb again. Rates are all that matters not shear numbers. X per 100,000 is the only useful term. For a teacher you sure can be dumb sometimes.
