What I don’t like is the way many people try and disquise what it really is. HATE, or at the very least a strong dislike.

I had a problem logging on to the forum so I had to change my username.

“I don’t get into giving one group or person more rope as you would say because of their skin color.”

Potter actually said here:

“Wright and his followers deserve all the rope ( understanding) we can muster in the light of history. That is the big big difference.”

You could not be ignorant of this history, where racism towards skin color comes from and it’s effect. No you could not.

A person or group of people that dislikes another person or group of people based on skin color or ethnicity.

I don’t get into giving one group or person more rope as you would say because of their skin color. I work with and oversee people of all nationalities and races. Once you start favoring one group over another or one person over another because of their skin color than you are discriminating against all others.

Most people I know would prefer to be treated the same as everyone else. No special considerations needed or given.

There is no valid reason for excusing hate or minimizing it’s cause.

Grant D. I don’t need to make a case that Wright is a racist. He has done a far better job of it than I could ever hope to.

By the way did you know that according to the teachings of Dr Cone and black theology, there is no such thing as a racist black,only whites can be racist. There you have it the argument is over.

I said no such thing. If you want to try to make the case that Wright is a racist, or that the black liberation church is a kind of 50s-era John Birch Society, please be my guest. Who knows, I might even concede the point if you can make the case with an actual compare-and-contrast argument or something resembling insight.

You ain’t going to get anywhere with argumentum ad hitlerum – if you can’t understand why it’s beyond the pale or you’re just trying to derail the thread. I don’t know why you persist and I really don’t care.

As I said racism isn’t rocket science. You just seem to think Wright and blacks have a better reason to hate Whites than whites have to hate blacks. I see it as basically the same thing.

By the way I like the way you phrased your opening. You state that there are terrorist white hate groups. Yet there is only groups that I believe to be minority hate groups. You can’t even admit that a minority hate group exists . I guess there is no such thing as a racist black. Once again the intellectual gymnastics.

If calling someone an ignorant troll because they don’t agree with your world view is a way of winning arguments than so be it. You win. Maybe your not so different from the people you defend.

‘Would you or Potter give a white conservative who held some of these beliefs the lattitude and forgiveness that you give Wright and Obama? Hell no.’

Wright and his followers deserve all the rope ( understanding) we can muster in the light of history. That is the big big difference.

Why is it so difficult for white conservatives to grasp the intrinsic difference between a terrorist white hate group and what they believe to be a minority hate group? Even granting for the sake of argument that there is some similarity (which is for the record is complete bullshit in this case), the historical context and that makes the comparison utterly absurd and highly inflammatory.

There’s a reasonable argument to be made that Louis Farrakhan and perhaps Jeremiah Wright are bigots or worse, and that I’m a total hypocrite for defending them. Dragging the Aryan Nations into this can only serve to convince me that you’re an ignorant troll who’s not worth any more of my time. Maybe that’s what you’re after, but there you go.
