Why does it matter what % of the population is of a certain race when it comes to hiring someone for a job? So you’re saying that because x amount of people are of one race that you absolutely have to have x amount of hires of that race?

There’s a name for that, it’s called racism.

I’m waiting for the NBA to step up to the plate. They have a bunch of athletes that always seem to be speaking out against disparity.
Wait; so blacks comprise, what, at most 15% of the population, yet are responsible for almost 40% of the violent crime?

That racist-based figure is due to white police agitating and targeting young black mens creating a situation where they commit so-called “violent crime” in reaction to this suppression.

with the 200+ arrest due to rioting the last 2 days you might have a point there!!! you’ve been approved for the black glove award[/quote]
“Rioting” is a term created by the White Devil to suppress and abolish the Black Man’s freedom of expression and celebration. The root of the word reduces us down to animals. This thinking had just to subjegation and the institutional racism that breeds within this wretched country. Rioting should be encouraged and subsidized by the government, because we, have been bridled for years without our due compensation. “Rioting” is our free speech. It’s our inherent right as young black men. And don’t get me started on the sister term “Looting”, my brother. Looting is a term used by your ancestors the British, when they attempted to emasculate another race who they deemed savages: the Hindu. After the British took their resources, when they would catch a native try to take a crumb for his family, the British would call him a “Loot”. So my brother, your “Looting” is no more than the Black Man righteously claiming what is rightfully ours.
And peace be with you my Brother. [/quote]
So the Tv’s, Nike’s, liquor, junkfood, etc was rightfully theirs? So the logical step was to break into a store-steal-demolish/burn said store?

Indeed brother. These goods and products are produced on the backs of people of color. The what you call “Looting” and “Rioting” is a mere reaction to the decades of exploitation of black people. And you weep about the plight of these conglomerates? All the while why you buy their products marketed by black faces singing and dancing. Look at Nike! Stereotyping young black men as modern day gladiators to appease stadiums full of whites! And McDonald’s… Pay us a living wage and stop the Human Rights abuses akin to Bejing.

Yeah, people don’t seem to get that racism can be both positive and negative, neither of which are desirable practices.

How many crimes were committed in those two days would you venture to guess?

Because the prevailing ideology of the superstructure is committed to equality of outcomes and using preferential treatment and discrimination against whites on the basis of their skin colour, in order to achieve equality of outcomes as they see it. This is the basis of all RadEgal legislation from hate crimes to affirmative action. If the playing field is too level handicap the best players and give the worst players special exemptions and privileges. If you don’t support the RadEgal agenda you are at risk of legal action, losing your job, maybe even being bashed by antifas militants. This happens in Europe relatively often.

Do you experience any sense of irony when you hear Holder and the Obama administration refer to individuals being “radicalized” by the internet?

In more ways than one. Any particular sense you had in mind?

From what I understand of your point of view these Islamic Jihadists are radical traditionalists, whose end game is a unified theocracy and national-religious identity more capable of realizing their higher philosophic and spiritual values in a shared reality.

Yes, I see what you did there: conflating my worldview with that of Islamic fundamentalists. I suppose the expected response would be I’m good and they’re bad; leaving me open to accusations of absolutism, the whole time the absurdity of the comparison is overlooked. These sorts of lines of argument usually take on the same pattern. But the fundamental differences can be articulated without appealing to my (obvious) ethical superiority. After all, it’s not hard to be ethically superior to a jihadist is it? Just about everyone on earth can make that claim so if the comparisons are about ethics there isn’t any comparison to be made. But if the commonalties highlighted are supposed to have some meaningful implications unrelated to ethics then what are they?
I would stress meaning is best gathered from the differences between the Islamo fascist worldview and my worldview rather than highlighting any incidental commonalties. Again, like the ethical differences the other differences are both stark and obvious. But for some reason incidental commonalties were raised so I’m left to defend myself against the Reductio ad Hitlerum or in this case, Reductio ad Zawahirium. I can only assume that’s what your comment constitutes.
But getting back to these (I would’ve thought obvious) fundamental differences that give real meaning to the comparison, one of the differences is the idealism of Islamo fascists, indeed ultra-radical idealism; “true believers” in the Hofferian sense, in stark contrast with my realist worldview - I accept the world for what it is. I don’t have any delusions about the way things are and no intention to try to make the world into what I think it ought to be. A realist is ultimately a sceptic and a practical man. And of course I’m not an absolutist nor do I have any designs upon neighbouring people; I don’t have any enmity or animosity towards anyone and I tend to value things like human life in a radically different way from international jihadists who revel in stuff like human sacrifice.
I could list some fundamental differences unrelated to ethics but they’re just as obvious. I can only assume that your commenting on the commonalties was intended to suggest, a more than merely incidental connection and to imply some significance and meaning. Maybe use the Baconian Method of scrutinising lists of commonalties for the underlying reason for them. I’d be interested to know what you think these commonalties suggest.
I wasn’t trying to start an argument. I was just trying to understand one of the ironies in Obama referring to Jihadists as radicals, from what I’ve inferred from your posts.
