I abhor the the comments on sites like Gab. We must educate the ignorant believers of supremacy. We can make a difference by teaching them that those beliefs are wrong.

What does supremacy mean and what are wrong beliefs?

What does supremacy mean and what are wrong beliefs?

You're the walking dictionary.

And I've said enough that you probably now what I mean by "wrong beliefs".

You're the walking dictionary.

Supremacy at it's worst relates to the worst in fascist or extremist ideas of genocide towards other groups of people.

Supremacy at it's most romantic, may be familial or kin - group pride, to the extent that it can be a positive force in a phenotype maximizing it's 'potential'. (very subjective).

I think white degeneracy is more of a pandemic than supremacy, personally.

My reference to wrong beliefs referred to my use of the word supremacy.

Supremacy: The state of having the ultimate authority

Such beliefs by, as you say, degenerates, are wrong.

Thats what I was saying.

I appreciate that take.

Yes I was looking at a chart of the top 30k Americans wealth VS the bottom 300 million.

Keeps growing for the top group.

I agree with the statement, but I am not sure I agree with the perspective. There are racists out there that believe they are educated, smart racists. They believe they are better than uneducated racists. They believe uneducated racists give them a bad name. Can you believe that?

 

[DaveX]

Here's a question for the smart people...

How long would a statue of Hitler last in Jerusalem?

Get it?

 

[topdom]

You posted some truth backed by science and it vanished into the memory hole?

Who makes such calls of discernment, human or AI?

When I disprove official stories about Apollos and 9/11, it bothers some people. I don't mean, NP, I mean a higher power. NP is affected indirectly. I mean this is how I interpret this thing. I have no objection.
Moon landing was faked, but maybe by good people. 9/11 is pure conspiracy done by evil people. And they are antiTrump, although they are from the same party (actually their party is irrelevant, they are in both parties, and Europe, and elsewhere).

zio=nazi. people are forced to believe they are opposite things. and this is another taboo. but you can find many references easily.

Sounds like the thought police has the Internet tentacled with AI now.

Okay, and I suppose if Will said the holocaust was just a small get together, you would agree?

I refuse to be intimidated by you or anyone else. I guess you read the book "Winning through Intimidation" by Robert Winger. Racism in America is rare like Will Smith said. And to take a few isolated incidents and try to convince others how bad our society is, IS SIMPLY WRONG, not to mention incredulous

I am very blessed and do not believe society is bad. But it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know that a celebrity of his stature might have a different perspective than an average person.

If you call this light conversation intimidation, God help us.

There you go again comparing the Holocaust and Genocide to Slavery and Racism I don't know how you get off on that, but you are sadly misinformed.

When my Croatian or Italian neighbors calls me a paisano or munge cake, I don't take it as offense, it's how they roll. Them seeing me as white doesn't prevent us from being friends, and I love the stereotype they have of their white guy neighbor. We share wine and barbecues, and we respect our place and differences with each other based on where we came from and our experiences.

How we look in terms of color/culture is by no means the be-all-and-end-all to a person, but it might certainly be a prudent way to begin. Stalwart biases can cloud judgments, but educating ourselves on recognizing that rather than drawing lines in the sand and making everything one color, I think is a lot less confrontational and moves people forward together in the sense that, we take comfort that our differences are embraced, yet we may naturally feel drawn towards to those of our own.

For some reason, all I could think of while reading this was the barbershop scene from Grand Torino.

Not an incredible movie, but there are some great lessons to be learned from it.

You mentioned you are some percentage Jewish. I didn't.

 

[DaveX]

I'm 25% Jewish and proud of it. Should I be compensated a dime for what Hitler did to the Jews despite the fact I'd have been put to death if it were determined that my grandfather was Benjamin Goldstein?

[ThatNameGuy]

Besides intimidation I see where diversion is also one of your tactics. Yes I said I'm 1/4 Jewish and proud of it. When I learned while visiting the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC in 2003 that I too would have been put to death by Hitler and his thugs, that shed a new light my heritage. My point about your comment, "How long would a statue of Hitler last in Jerusalem?" shows me how little you know about humanity unless of course you're anti-Semite.

Just a couple more points I want to make regarding this whole topic....I mentioned earlier I was born in Washington DC in 1947, and with my Jewish grandfather Benjamin Goldstein became a die hard Washington Redskin football fan. Later after Pop Pop passed I was fortunate to have season tickets to Redskin football, and not once in the 40+ years I was a fan did i hear anything about the name "Redskin" being derogatory and offensive to the American Indian. I, like everyone else I knew, felt it was a compliment to be referred to as a "Redskin" fan. However, the one thing they can never take away from me is the FACT they won three Super Bowls while T/A the Redskins. Although I'm guessing some crackpot left wing liberal will want to strip them of their Super Bowl trophies because they won them under a name that is supposedly offensive to "a few" American Indians.

Moving on, I just heard today that in addition to the American National Anthem being played/sung at NFL football games the Black National Anthem will also be played/sung Do you have any idea how divisive that is???? So now we're to have a White National Anthem and a Black National Anthem....very sad

The last thing I'll say is there was a time I thought I could have partnered with you in some capacity in the domain industry, but now that I've gotten to know who you really are, you couldn't pay me enough to be your partner despite my having initially sought you out.

This is the end of my conversation with you....your agenda is to always have the last word so have at it with me knowing your true colors

American National Anthem being played/sung at NFL football games the Black National Anthem will also be played/sung Do you have any idea how divisive that is????

Never knew there was one. And agree, that is divisive. If people take issue with the national anthem why not rewrite/write a new one that includes people of all race? A national anthem should unite, not divide.

I checked out the lyrics real quick though, nice anthem.
