In reply to the discussion: If this isn't apartheid, then what is it? [View all]pelsar
(12,283 posts)56. and in the interest of communication...
i too have noticed a certain type of poster, which i do believe you seem to represent. It is the type that has at its base a belief in their own superiority over others, a lack of tolerance for others as well as their cultures. We see this in their inability to explain their concepts and their utter contempt in even being asked to further explain.
in case you missed the problem with your apartheid argument, its that apparently its used by many in many variations. In fact it appears the NAACP disagrees with your definition, your "legalese". are they too "blithers"
In the interest of communication, perhaps you would like to explain how the NAACP with their reaction to the apartheid in New Haven is wrong ?
or is that beneath you?

Exactly. Don't expect a hasbarist to even acknowledge the distinction you make, though.
