@earl-of-trumps saidAgain, a "racist" is someone who believes that certain "races" have innate qualities that make them inferior or superior to other "races". "Racism" as Merriam-Webster puts it is:
I hope you are not charging me a fee for that advice, lawyer. Jeeezus.
I could care LESS what slur the mayor of Chicago throws at some white woman.
I posted it to show the complete hypocrisy of the left.
And it is Soooo obvious you are dancing away to defend this miscreant, Mayor
Lori Lightfoot, because she is a flaming Democrat.
Two wrongs never make a rig ...[text shortened]... TO. That's mean spirited, that's racism.
You don't even get a "nice try" on that defense, lawyer.

Now please explain how, even if you find Lightfoot's comment "offensive" in some way, it is "racist" or shows "racism" under these standard definitions.
And good luck with explaining how Herbold's idea that the SPD should try to maintain racial diversity is "racist" or shows "racism".
@earl-of-trumps saidCalling someone a Karen for being a Karen is not racist.
More leftist racism - III
Listen to the charming racist, Chicago mayor, Lori Lightfoot call white house
spokesperson a racial slur.
[i]At a press briefing on Thursday Ms McEnany branded Mayor Lightfoot “the derelict mayor of Chicago” when answering a question on police brutality.
“Hey, Karen. Watch your mouth,” Mayor Lightfoot tweeted in response.
“Karen” ...[text shortened]... skates.

That's just stupid AF. I used the term here just the other day. "Karens" are entitled racists who just so happen to be white, because THEY ALWAYS ARE WHITE. The denigration is NOT because they're white. It's because they are ENTITLED RACISTS.
Seriously, if you don't like being called something, then don't BE that something.
In fact, the only people I see in this forum carelessly throwing the word "racist" around are those on the right. Those on the left are just calling it as it IS.
@no1marauder saidSimple, the definition of racism on the right is just someone who is white getting called out as a racist for being racist.
Again, a "racist" is someone who believes that certain "races" have innate qualities that make them inferior or superior to other "races". "Racism" as Merriam-Webster puts it is:

Whites jumping to the defense of whites, no matter how horrible the whites are acting.
Accessory to a crime is when someone watches a crime being committed, a crime they could have stopped and just letting it happen anyways. The rabid whites in this forum are accessories to racism. And then they defend doing so, and those who do so.
That some consider this "okay" is sad. That most consider this "okay" is called systemic racism.
Calling someone who promotes diversity a "racist", or calling someone "racist" who calls out a racist is just part and parcel of this same behavior.

You are an most disingenuous debater.
You know damn right well that Mayor Lightfoot's slur was intended to be a slur,
and is the very reason why it made the splash in the media.
Do you think Lightfoot's intentions were warm and cordial, because I can
guarantee you, nobody thinks that but you.
I think Lightfoot is a Black Supremacist. And a racist. My opinion.
@suzianne saidyou're full of crap, PERIOD.
Calling someone a Karen for being a Karen is not racist.
That's just stupid AF. I used the term here just the other day. "Karens" are entitled racists who just so happen to be white, because THEY ALWAYS ARE WHITE. The denigration is NOT because they're white. It's because they are ENTITLED RACISTS.

Karen is a pejorative term used in the United States and other English-speaking countries for a woman perceived to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is considered appropriate or necessary. A common stereotype is that of a racist white woman who uses her privilege to demand her own way at the expense of others.
That is as insulting as it gets. And it is bullcrap to apply that term to who she did.
It is a damnable racist thing to do. It's as bad as calling an African American
a bad term and then defending it all by having the BALLZ to say that it is not
racist if it is true.
So prove it. Yeah right.
You are one of the worst offenders in here for accusing people of being racist
for no other reason than they disagree with you. That's all.

@Suzianne That some consider this "okay" is sad. That most consider this "okay" is called systemic racism.
Ya, like you, No1, and liberals think it is "okay" to call a white woman a "karen".
uh huh. Racist as the day is LONG. It is a pejorative term used AGAINST white
women. Period. And don't give me this crap - if the show fits, it's Ok.
No it isn't, it's racist.
@earl-of-trumps saidThinking is free, Earl, you can have whatever ideas you desire inside that cranium of yours.

What you haven't done is produce the slightest evidence that the people you are complaining about are "racists" and/or support "racism" by the standard definitions.

I am only slightly moved by the term "cracker' but in his world, he knows that
be a supreme bad word and is embarrassed to even use the term. Fine.
I know that "karen", too, is a pejorative term used by blacks against whites.
That's as racist as it gets. Lightfoot knew what she said and her usage was
questioned and made clear, yes, that is how Lightfoot meant it. That is
explained in the article I posted, if you open the link.
Sing all the songs you want. Lori Lightfoot is a black supremacist racist.
@earl-of-trumps saidWrong. People on the right in this forum are called out as racist because they are racist. And if, by chance, they are not actually racists, then they are racism apologists and guilty of "accessory to racism".
you're full of crap, PERIOD.

What part of 'You don't wanna be called a racist, then don't be a racist' do you not get?
Calling someone a Karen is not racism. You thinking it is, is just, again, stupid AF. Karens are ENTITLED RACISTS who happen to be white, because they always are white. There are no black Karens. Ask yourself WHY that is so. Calling an ENTITLED RACIST an ENTITLED RACIST is NOT "racism". I'm not seeing how you're missing this point. I can only assume you don't want to see this point.
@earl-of-trumps saidAnd I cannot believe that you cannot see exactly how stupid AF this really is.
Lori Lightfoot is a black supremacist racist.
Who is throwing around the word racist now? You. The right. Is this really the only defense white people have now? "Nuh-UH, I am NOT, YOU are!!!!!"
@earl-of-trumps saidAre you ACTUALLY trying to tell me that there is systemic racism against whites?
@Suzianne That some consider this "okay" is sad. That most consider this "okay" is called systemic racism.

No it isn't, it's racist.
Are you insane?
@no1marauder saidPeople are paid based on the value of their work. Some people contribute little and earn little others contribute a lot and are paid based on their contributions. Your false statements to the contrary don't change reality.
What you know about the economic conditions of American workers is absolutely zero. The idea that people doing most of the actual work in this country "contribute the least to our society" is typically elitist swill.
@no1marauder saidYour refusal to allow the law to treat all people equally literally violates the most fundamental principal of freedom in our country. Instead of assuming injustices, find specific violations and remedy them. You refuse this method even though it would treat everyone equally because you know your are exaggerating injustices. Once we decide groups get preferences it never ends but you rather have minority groups beholden to you for privileges then giving individuals actual justice.
Outside of using a lot of childish insulting language, this post says nothing.
I stand on my other posts and the research I have provided and will ignore future foot stamping posts from you that continue to fail to actually address the real problem of systemic racism and invidious discrimination by pretending they don't exist. The Civil Rights Laws have been in effect ...[text shortened]... and employment. Until you recognize those facts, you are wasting both our times with your tantrums.
@quackquack saidEvidence?
People are paid based on the value of their work. Some people contribute little and earn little others contribute a lot and are paid based on their contributions.
@handyandy saidIt's his religion; it doesn't require evidence.
Evidence?
The mere fact that people get paid different rates for the same work depending on where they do it refutes his religious belief. Wage rates are based on bargaining power and bargaining power is usually determined by social, legal and cultural factors having very little to do with the actual value of the work.
People who sold mortgage based securities made 20 or more times what a teacher did in 2008 yet their product was worthless and eventually caused a global economic meltdown. Similar examples are almost endless.
