US Politics

What do you do when your personally endorsed candidate is beaten in the Alabama state primary?

Delete your tweets and pretend it never happened!

... because thought experiments on race politics are racist?

Step away from the keyboard, son.

Trump and trade

I sense misunderstandings.

Mine, mainly. I don't understand your post.

I mean it's not considered acceptable for a group to form around being white. This is great for Trump.

Everyone should be allowed to embarrass themselves chanting whatever bollocks they want. The burden of argument is with anyone restraining protest. I think.

I'm going to try and not kneejerk respond to that.

What reasons's would white people need to form a group for in your opinion?

I don't care why anyone wants to protest. They don't need to justify it to me.

I honestly don't know what a white group could stand for anyway, it's not that whites are facing structural racism from the government in the USA.

So far groups that were formed around being white were shouting the most awful stuff/supporting the most awful causes. White pride and all that is sorta redundant/tainted with the worst of the worst. Trump doesn't seem to be too bothered by that judging by his tweets.

Can you think of a positive whiteness group?

EDIT: already asked everybody typing at the same time ;)

can you understand why they are met with derision when a group claims they are superior or reckon they are oppressed when clearly not the case?

basically I don't think anyone finds forming a white group unacceptable they just find their reasons for doing so unacceptable and rightly, imo, chastise them for it

can you understand why they are met with derision when a group claims they are superior or reckon they are oppressed when clearly not the case?

I'm trying to write this in the least provocative way (because provocation isn't helpful and people are easily provoked) ...

... I understand why they meet derision, but then group derision is usually completely useless. Arguing with a nat socialist it's all low hanging fruit so why not engage? Their world view hinges on a few terrible ideas.

so would you agree with my point above?

When one sees intolerance one should take one's liberal hat off for a while and take more extreme measures to oppose it.

How principled of you.

I'd rather a properly open society please. The law protects us from hate speech to a high degree, and of course from violence. These laws have gone through the elected parliament and are not made up in the street.

Jeebus. You made me sound like a concerned Telegraph reader or something.

the solution involves counter-protests, education and quite possibly violence. Nothing like seeing a fascist hit the deck to put a smile on your face (I'm referring to seeing vids - I haven't put someone on the deck since school, and he was a prick not a fascist).

But you sound really confused.

Also said Puerto Ricans "want everything to be done for them" because he's past giving a fuck about just dog whistling.

Wow

Has nobody bothered to wake up the cunt up so he can post a rant about border security? Or have they done it so he can't run his mouth off?

Someone needs to teach him about the (appropriate) use of exclamation marks
