Just kill yourself:

During an exchange with their opponents, Feliciano suggested that white people should kill themselves because of their “white privilege.”

And this boys and girls is why we need trump in office so we can stop the racist pc crap from fermenting more than what Obama has started.

Context missing. Move along. Nothing to see.

I hear earthquakes are Obama's fault too! And mosquitoes! And telemarketers! And stepping on Lego bricks in bare feet! And Necco wafers!

Thanks Obama!

that explains why I've been stepping on those LEGO blocks!


great logic, though, Woody: To overcome the odd outlier with odd ideas, we should put a violent, nacissistic bigot in the White House. Clever plan.

I do have to admire how people use a personal opinion by the OP to avoid the actual subject.

what is the 'original subject' past some goofy outlier, presented with ZERO context?

I admit there is a lack of context, and context is important, but that being said, I believe this kind of thinking is a result of all of the BS we hear during the so called race debates we have in this country where we have one victim group and one perp. group, instead of dealing with the issue in an honest way.

See it’s not hard to make an honest comment without context, but yes, it is probably much harder to address the actual comments in the video.

I think we all could use a lesson on properly posting debate starters, and I include myself in that comment, seeing how nobody seems to want to answer my questions presented in my posts.

But I can’t place all of the blame on the thread starter.

So the only person who has any intellectual ability that replied in this thread is Spidey. To often we see knee jerk replies (yes I am guilty also) that lose sight of the content and rather just try and score points against the poster.

agreed all around, and my point is that no matter the context, this guy is a pure extremist, and the counter to that isn't counter-extremism, to my mind.

hey, I try.

I'm glad to address the speaker's comments. Can you find an unedited copy of the video? Because that's the context I'm talking about. If someone makes a statement, you need to know the context. So far we don't have that, we have a repost of something from infowars. It's click-bait. You want to debate click-bait?

Ah yes, the infamous "unedited copy" meme.

As a general principle, I agree. But at the same time, I don't see any reasonable circumstance in which the fuller context would significantly change the meaning of the statements made in the shorter video. So I will make a provisional judgment that these guys actually mean what it sounds like they mean, until such time as a longer video is released that shows a drastically different meaning. (There are indications that the longer video was posted and removed; it seems to me that either Harvard or U. of West Georgia could clear it up by posting the unedited video.)

I see nothing in that video other than self-appointed moral superiority. One cannot win when they view others as having less value.

The self-depopulation of whites is already going on in the U.S. They don't need to kill themselves. They're disappearing on their own accord. And they have the nerve to get pissed off.....

On top of that, birth rates for whites are now far lower than the rates for other races and minorities, which means that most whites are older and most young people are minorities. You're losing white boys and girls and that's why Trump will ultimately never get elected. The numbers are against him. You're going to get Hillary woody, because Trump has only made friends with the old white guys, and there's not enough of them.

Except those young minorities are too self absorbed to bother to vote.

hmmmm, time will tell, won't it?

Well, if the number and passion of those counter protesters are any indication at those Trump rallies, I'm betting you're wrong.

And I'm betting they're George Soros paid operatives who will probably sit at home come election day blowing weed and drinking cheap wine.

Nah, paid operatives always vote…more than once if necessary.

Or they'll find some corpse to drag from poll to poll....

odd alternate reality you live in.

woodchip wrote:...blowing weed and drinking cheap wine.

You know what's weird about the weed and cheap wine statement? It describes my conservative friends more than my liberal ones. Strangely, of the people I know who still smoke weed most of them are conservative (and fairly anti-government). Of the liberals I know, most either stopped smoking weed or never did and prefer craft beer over wine. (I don't particularly like alcohol and I stopped smoking weed about the time Descent came out.) Also, my liberal friends are more likely to be involved in politics whereas my conservative friends are rather apathetic toward things like voting (except for one who is so active he makes up for the rest, heh).

I have a far different experience, here in the East, vision.

I'm certain of it! In fact, at different times of my life my experience with liberal/conservative preference for weed and cheap wine has changed!

well, vision, at age 60, my perspective is this: weed use in my age group is still pretty common, and cuts across any ideology that I can figure. Wine is definitely more of an elitist beverage, and not real trendy, so tends to be consumed by dedicated afficionados, possibly a bit conservative leaning, but no real ideological limitations. If one wished to stereotype the left-leaners in my circle of travel, you could go by diet. The vegans tend to be very liberal.

Pffft, most of the “liberals” around here drink cheap wine as their main method of getting a buzz on...followed by weed, and in most cases...a mixture of both.
