I understand your mindset on this subject all too well....I've been dealing with it my entire life, as did my parents, and theirs, and theirs.

Outside of plain denial and insipidly stubborn repetition, you can't defend your previous statements. Seems you're on some version of what I call "parrot mode". A pity. Carry on.

You sound more and more like a racist who hates Euro-American people.
That's ok.

Maybe it sucks to be an American of African heritage,
and maybe you have more than enough reason to be resentful.

How the hell would I know?
And why should I accept blame for it?

Is that what you want me to do?
I guess I'm having a hard time understanding your point.

Anyway, even if I don't understand you, you're comfortable with your opinion of me.
I guess that you may carry on as well.

Folks, just look at Posts #280,287 and 291. That's the crux of Nifty's BS that was already addressed. I have his number ... and he doesn't like it, but can't logically or factually refute it. So he just parrots version of the SOS, as the chronology of our exchanges shows. Sad, I had expected better.

It is what it is, and it's perfectly logical and just.

I'm not convinced. It increases the partisan split and increases the hate against others based on their political views. We may detest those views but to judge a person solely on politics regardless of their other characteristics seems trivial because politics is not that important to many people.

It is very like those people who spread hate because athletes took a knee. It simply creates great media stories because it involves conflict. People who were not even aware of the those taking a knee accused the NFL of being "unpatriotic" because others told them they were.

I have enjoyed Dilbert for many years while knowing nothing about the cartoonist. Now, I am supposed to hate him.

It's not about convincing you, it's about recognizing a historical precedent.
That's what Ghandi was about....that's what King was about. Had they followed your mindset, India would still be under colonial rule and the USA would still have an active Jim Crow system.

Yeah, you found out your favorite cartoonist is a fuming racist. YOU may be able to ignore that and still buy his product or subscribe to the paper that carries his work and shrug it off. However, the people who are most likely to be shot by the cops for "driving while black" or have the cops called on them by some hysterical, "Karen", cannot.

So a relative minor inconvenience to some can and periodically does become a life & death situation to others.

Need I explain more?

Agreed, but we should not destroy a man and his livelihood because of his political views that kept relatively private.

Liberals used to preach toleration and now attack those who are tolerant because they don't dislike the right people enough.

America was built upon capitalism and the right of corporations to make decisions that aren't always popular. Corporations made the decision to disconnect their brand from a popular cartoonist whose train ran off the track. They chose to do so because continuing to pay him could damage their brand and their bottom line.

You get to choose what brands to buy, based on whatever preferences you have. If their creator chooses to shoot himself/herself in the dick with crazy shit, and get shut out, that's how it is in a capitalist society. Businesses have always had to consider what advertising they put out, and how they choose to brand themselves. Adams chose to brand himself as a dick.

That's how it works here. Sorry you're disappointed, but that's how it goes.

Ghandi was a racist, he also liked to sleep with young girls!! He also looked down on black Africans and Muslims as well. Not only that he sent a letter to Churchill imploring him to surrender to Hitler.

Lots of historic figures were racist, humanity has only recently awoken to the reality of the evils of racism, we have evolved very rapidly on this issue. Let’s judge todays people by todays standards.

You're so full of shit, it's just a never ending stream with you. Cue references to pointy hats, National Front and the chronology of the posts

I've got Dippy on the ignore list because he's just deteriorates into a blathering bigot when his racist rhetoric is challenged. I see by your response that that he immediately does the National Front shuffle.....isolating parts of history that suits his mindset as the ONLY true information. Unfortunately for the little dunce, the truth will always be ought there to thwart him: https://www.npr.org/2019/10/02/7660...-attitudes-on-race-and-sex-are-under-scrutiny

All the monarchist cocksuckers fellatists are like that. Never trust a monarchist fellatist. For one thing, they see Americans as commoners and peasants.

Interesting how you can throw out such labels without repercussion, while I got a temporary ban for joking that he had frequent flyer miles with Bangkok's kiddie porn sections ... with an admonishment of being "obsessed with (edit) what'sisname". Classic.

I have been watching YouTubes on Bangkok's sex tourism: "Do not take offense at finding out that what you thought was a woman is a ladyboy...be gracious and leave....if you dont you might very well get hurt".

Apparently ladyboys are everywhere, and with practice are easy to spot. Newbies however are constantly fooled.
 
What am I to make of a people where the women want men completely unlike the males they grew up with, and the guys so often pretend to be girls?
