The only problem is that you view it that way. And I am sure if one of your kids, raised by someone else, turned out to have alt-right views like Eminence, you would be cool with it - however I wouldn't.
hey beavers... nobody would be giving you grief if you stated this in your original post. But you didn't. If you were a better daughter maybe your parents wouldn't be racist.beavers said:
Yeah I deleted my post. I agree and to tell you the truth any discussion on it is presumptuous. Beavers can do as she thinks best, no argument here.
Squis has a point ... The analogies prove that people who haven't experienced discrimination really don't understand the magnitude of it. As a lesbian, I experienced a lot of homophobia toward me. I never want my daughter to 1. Be raised by slightly homophobic but definite racists and 2. Live in an environment where diversity and inclusion are evil buzz words for political correctness. I wouldn't expect some on a white male dominated message board to understand.
OR... or.... you could've just given the real reason for your decision instead of turning it into a vague partisan hack job with your original post.
They don't "prove" anything as they were intended to be as silly as your ill framed argument.
I also voted for Johnson. Trumps plans for replacing X with "something fabulous" just isn't good enough. Horrible choice for a R candidate (and more than likely we'll conclude after HRC gets her crown that anyone that voted Trump in the primaries voted HRC for president). And, contrary to your belief, the Clinton family is a crime syndicate. Worse than Edwin Edwards, Huey P Long, Boss Tweed, etc.
Oh, please. She lapped them up. It's a shame this didn't come out during the main debates. If there is anything I'd like to ask her right now I'd like her to explain to America's schoolkids why she cheated on her tests.
Is there any bait you WON'T bite on?She was right.
All that counts is that you think you did the right thing. So good for you. And good for you getting out and voting regardless of our philosophical differences.
Beavers, you're out of touch. How many white male trump supporters do you know in real life? You've created a boogeyman out of a caricature. Maybe get out of your insular world and realize the propaganda you're constantly consuming doesn't match reality. I know Trump supporters, Clinton supporters, Johnson supporters... people who supported Sanders, Bush, etc... Christians, atheists, Muslims etc... and you know what, they're all pretty reasonable and they're a lot more similar than you realize.
John Oliver asked the same question last year
And there is no way that we'll see this change anytime soon. Republicans don't want PR in and Democrats wouldn't want to see Gaum in, etc.
I don't subscribe to the view that people automatically inherit their political beliefs from their parents. I certainly didn't. Did you?
Took us about an hour and half to early vote Uptown on Friday. Really hope we can kick McCrory out.
I have to admit I was raised in a Liberal family. Grandparents both sides were big time union when that meant something. Parents, aunts, uncle's, all union and very socially liberal. Although as far as I know I am the only full on athiest to come out of the group. Some agnostics around though.
Down with Governor Frat Boy. Sucks cause I didn't hate him as mayor. I voted for him when he ran as mayor in fact.
Really, that's all that counts? 32% of Germans thought they were doing the right thing.
They don't automatically inherit their religious beliefs either, however close minded bigot, racist parents tend to raise close minded bigoted, racist children more often than parents who have tolerant and progressive views towards others. Yes, we don't all turn out that way in politics or religion, I know two atheists who raised a girl that became a nun - but at least I would want to give my kid a fair shot at life as being open minded rather and tolerant of other, rather than have them brought up in an environment that would them make more likely than not to at least start with extreme alt right views.
Yeah what counts is doing what you think is best. I can disagree with that outcome but if you are truly voting your conscience it's what you are supposed to do.
Funny, that second post read pretty much the same as the first one to me, just with a lot more stuff explicitly spelled out that was only implied by the phrase "Trump lovers".
Exactly. She lapped them up. I wonder if anyone will ever ask her about that. Maybe in a debate in four years? I haven't read this thread but I wonder if any Hillary supporter in here can defend her on this.
It's the reason we on the left should have come up with a new word other than racism for the racism that's currently in vogue. Then people wouldn't knee jerk away like "I'm not racist, I've never been in the KKK! I just feel uncomfortable around brown people!"beavers said:
Awful lot of stereotyping going on for someone that hates to be stereotyped.beavers said:
Meanwhile, on the other end of the political spectrum, there are increasingly brown people on college campuses and at BLM events who outright say that they need safe spaces specifically because they're uncomfortable around white people. This reverse yet more overt form of what you criticize is increasingly being supported by people on the Left. Blatant double standards create resentment where it may otherwise not have existed.
I can't believe no one found that before now. Quick, tell everyone before they vote!
I think there are different ways to get your views. Like religion, in politics I believe your family highly influences your views. In both, how much they influence your views often depends on how committed they are to their stances. For me I have questioned religion and I have question political stances I was raised with. Now you have to first admit what has been instilled in you might be wrong to make any progress when looking for truth. Not many people can do this, so they fall back on what they were taught and just simply want to be right, facts be damned. Once you get enlightened you will soon find out that there is no 100% right or wrong religion or political ideology. Then you have to decide what is important to you.
The people who claim to celebrate diversity have become the most close-minded....it is amazing what a 180 many of the children of the 60's have done..they have become what they once loathed...
