    No, no, you're right, the victim here is Trump.
    Why, it's almost like he was run over by a car driven by a lunatic, except not like that at all, and he's a spoiled entitled asshole.
    But we should pity him.
    Because reasons.

    I didn't say he was a victim, you dumb asshole.

    I said he might as well do what he wants because he'll never gain any traction with the Loony Left such as yourself. If he condemns racism on both sides, and he's correct about that, then that's his business.

    Summary: fuck you and the horse that shit you out.

    How about he condemns it because it's the right thing to do?
    No?
    Everything's gotta be a spite thing?
    All righty then.

    again it's a big state.

    what is true of Arlington is different from what is true of Norfolk and hell-and-gone from what is true of Lynchburg.

    This image is a map of election results from 2012, to take Trump's "economic anxiety" bullshit out of the equation.
    Roughly drawn, the vast interior of the country not carved out by the black lines is, with the exception of large cities, university towns, and heavily black counties, pretty much typical of the "southern stereotype" politically. Whether technically in the south or not. Put another way, Kansas has much more in common with MS than Colorado, Indiana has much more in common with Alabama than Pennsylvania...albeit most of Western Pennsylvania has more in common with TN than with Eastern PA

    Politically speaking.

    So while it's true that these nazi fuckers are NOT just or even mainly a south problem, it's also not true that most of Virginia isn't "the south" in any way that matters to this conversation.

    By who's standards? Yours? Trump doesn't give a fuck what you think, you moron cunt. Why should he?

    Really. The man defeated the top 16 GOP nominees then turned around and defeated the projected DNC winner, but he's supposed to say what you think... some loser asshole who waxes indignant on some web forum.

    You got some hot opinion of yourself.

    there are stories that the whole thing was a false flag using actors hired by the SPLC
    (nevermind that Richard Spencer was actually arrested there)

    Be careful of sources.

    Best response I've seen so far:

    Imagine if these people ever faced actual oppression.
    Nobody is trying to legislate away their right to marry.
    Nobody is trying to make them buy insurance to pay for 'male health care.'
    The law never
    Enslaved their great-grandparents
    Robbed their grandparents
    Imprisoned their parents
    Shot them when unarmed
    There is no massive effort at the state and local level to disenfranchise them of the vote.
    There is no history of centuries of bad science devoted to 'proving' their intellectual inferiority.
    There is no travel ban on them because of their religion.
    There is no danger for them when they carry dangerous weaponry publicly.
    Their churches were never burned.
    Their lawns never decorated with burning crosses
    Their ancestors never hung from trees
    Their mothers aren't being torn away by ICE troopers and sent away forever. They won't be forced to leave the only country they ever knew.
    The president has not set up a hotline to report crime committed at their hands.

    They are chanting 'we will not be replaced.' Replaced as ... what?
    I'll tell you:
    Replaced as the only voice in public discussions.
    Replaced as the only bodies in the public arena.
    Replaced as the only life that matters.

    THIS is 'white people' oppression: We used to be the only voice. Now we hold the only microphone. THIS is 'white man' oppression: We face criticism now. We were free from it, because others feared the consequences. THIS is 'oppression' of white Christians in this country. Christmas used to be the only holiday acknowledged, now it's not.

    I would so love to see these people get all the oppression they insist they receive, just for a year. Just to see.
    Give them a world where you ACTUALLY can't say Christmas. A world where the name "Geoff" on a resume puts it in the trash.
    Give them a world where they suddenly get a 20% pay cut, and then 70 women every day tell them to smile more.
    Give them a world where their polo shirt makes people nervous, so they're kicked off the flight from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis.
    Give them a world where they inherited nothing but a very real understanding of what oppression really fucking is.
    Give them a world where if they pulled up on a campus with torches lit and started throwing hands, the cops would punch their eyes out.

    Put THAT in your Tiki torches and light it, you sorry Nazi bitches.

    So Zombie - you claim to suffer no racists on your watch. Do you screen the potential employees for racist traits (thus they never get hired in the first place,nipping it in the bud) or are they on a probationary period in which you monitor them for any signs of racism? I'm curious to see your mechanisms for a racist-free work environment! :chris:

    1. You'd have to be willfully ignorant to believe the Civil War was fought to end slavery.

    2. Intelligence is a measure of pattern recognition:

    Liberal Events - Conservatives do not attend. No violence.

    Conservative Events - Liberals attend en masse. Widespread violence.

    For Christ's sake: NYT Bestselling authors can't speak in public if they're conservative. Not without the same routine violence you see at every conservative event.

    so "get fired" implies they are currently employed - so you spot them on the news demonstrating as a nazi on Saturday and they get their pink slip on Monday? :unsure:
    Hey, I guess you got it like that! Many corporations do not however.

    On Monday? Hell no. That's too long of a wait.

    I'd call them up the moment I saw their face. Even if it was in the middle of the damn protest.

    "Hey John I saw you at the protest waving a Nazi flag. You're fired you shit-eating Nazi bitch. Feel free to kill yourself at anytime."

    I would add that what kind of power the person in the job holds is a major factor.

    The reason a police officer having racist beliefs is such a huge deal is that they can literally hold the power of life and death over people in their communities.

    Similarly, if I were a police officer, I probably wouldn't give a shit if the guy stocking the shelves at Walmart was rabidly anti-cop, and I'd probably keep shopping there unless he made the experience incredibly unpleasant. But if I knew the guy serving my coffee at Dunkin Donuts was rabidly anti-cop, I'd probably never go there again. The guy stocking the shelves at Walmart would basically have no power to fuck up my life, but at Dunkin Donuts I'd always have to wonder if he put something in the coffee...

    I agree.

    But if the idiot at Walmart starts mouthing off racist shit to customers or other employees his ass is going right out the door.

    I'm not the thought police. I can't see what's in your head but the moment you put thoughts into actions or words is the moment I'm acting to remove you.

    Same for people who refuse to serve cops. You can believe whatever you want but the moment you refuse to serve a customer because they are a cop I lose all confidence in your ability to do your job without being a fuckwit about it. If you won't serve a cop are there others you won't serve? Will you mess with some people's food? Maybe you won't serve a cop today but another cop comes along and you decide to add some special sauce, aka spit, to his coffee. No. You've got to go out the door as well. Too dangerous to have you around.

    Yeah, if you're in basically any customer-facing role, part of your job is to make customers feel comfortable and welcome. If you do something that has the opposite effect, that is part of your job performance.

    It's good that no modern politicians are drumming up support by tapping into hatred against certain minorities. It's also good we are not as highly industrialized as we have ever been.
