Think of how nutty it is to take in any refugees? How many countries do they have to walk, ride and fly past before they get to the US? We can help build safe zones but not one single refugee should be taken in by the US. NOT ONE. Not until we can be assured that the one we do let in will not run into a crowd of people with a rented vehicle.
So do we ask the EU to continue to take on refugees as well if we don’t want to? Or do we throw down troops in Syria around already established infrastructure and tell Assad and whoever else “You shall not pass!” and protect refugees there? I’m curious where we would stick the safe zones.
That depends on who gets to create the definition. He who frames the argument usually controls the debate, which is part of why the media couldn’t dent the Teflon. If those who accuse someone of racism have shown partiality in their own expressions, their accusations are null and void upon creation.
Reasonable people can disagree upon the precise definitions of words. That said, and in my opinion at least, a reasonable person would not insist that a declaration of racial hatred is required before an individual’s views can be labeled racist. David Duke has stated any number of times that he does not hate AAs and/or Jews; based on this, would you deny he qualifies as a racist and anti-Semite?
Not sure what shown partiality means, so I can’t follow how it could render someone’s accusations “null and void.”
Being the Imperial Wizard of the KKK and wearing a Nazi uniform while attending LSU makes David Duke a racist, not his bullshit claims. Touching on what Mufasa said, actions speak louder than words.
I was referring to bias when I mention partiality. You cannot be biased with accusations of racism, otherwise you look like a hack. You have to call it even. Whether it’s racism but the Left or the Right, it must be called out equally when it happens.
A racist is someone who believes that race is the primary determinant of certain important human traits and capacities, and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
