Will you people never give up with this bullshit revisionist history?

GO AND ASK SOME AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEMBERS OF THIS WEBSITE WHAT THEY THINK OF YOU.

This article was posted here already and this thread is a duplcate.

1. Problems??? nt

[gejohnston]

2. ummmmm no,

Reagan really did sign the Mulford Act, sponsored by a right winger after a bunch of black guys open carried to respond to racist and brutal California cops. Do you think the NAACP sponsored South Carolina's handgun ban in 1911? If so, why was it repealed around 1965?

Other than that, Jesus Fucking Christ says

3. GO AND ASK SOME AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEMBERS OF THIS WEBSITE WHAT THEY THINK OF YOU.

What in particular would you like to know?

[ProgressiveProfessor]

20. For some reason I can't get this image out of my mind...

Seems to fit many flippant remarks down here very well...



Around here, this sort of thing is happing more and more.... And, I find it highly amusing, when the ivory tower gets a "bit soiled" from the "overflowing assumptions" of the few who reside in them.

Even funnier when they don't realize it and keep going, or try to wiggle out.

8. That would be most appreciated. His interlocutor claims to speak for the GLBT community, as well. nt

7. Well played sir, well played! n/t

11. "What in particular would you like to know?"

Exactly what I said.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

15. As an African-American, I agree with most of the posters here

[iverglas]

17. as the Queen of Roumania

I do too.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

18. I suggest you check my profile...it has not changed in quite some time

Barack Obama is half African, so am I. I would qualify as a visible minority in Canada, absurd a standard as it is.

Peddle your bilge water elsewhere

5. Another sterling example of civil discourse

I say that as someone who is as much African- American as the current US president

[friendly_iconoclast]

9. Obviously, the racist misogynist right wing NRA has paid you off.

Lucky you- I'm just another white guy. We're a dime a dozen, and have to to pay them for membership.

10. Charlize Theron is African too NT

[ProgressiveProfessor]

13. But she is not a visible minority...so presumptively that would not count in Canada

Remember who brought up the issue...

[RSillsbee]

23. I don't know, she (Theron) is pretty hot

I imagine that alone might make her a visible minority in Canada

[ProgressiveProfessor]

24. Bad Dog!

Though I will admit to laughing at the post.

[PavePusher]

27. Well, she'd be a minority in her native nation.

So, half-points awarded....

[SteveM]

29. Oh, I don't know, have a few beers and minorities become majorities. nt

[iverglas]

16. and you were intending to tell us what she thinks?

MORGAN: ... Your father has a gun. As most people in South Africa did. And he actually starts shooting into a room where you are and your mother are. And your mother gets a gun and shoots him dead. I mean I can't imagine a more dramatic, appalling thing to happen to parents that I would love in the way that you did.

... How do you feel -- and this is a contentious one for you, but I would imagine you have strong views. What do you feel about the gun policy in America, given that you came from a country where they're everywhere.

THERON: I just don't think that we -- they're in -- by any means, anyone should ever have a semi-automatic or automatic weapon for anything. I'll start with that, you know. I think that. I obviously come from -- I've had an experience in my life where, in the wrong circumstances, a gun could be used in a -- in a -- in a very tragic way.

I also understand people's feelings about wanting to have their right to protect themselves. I always find it interesting that the right to bear arms actually has nothing to do with owning a gun.

But let me just say that for you to play with the term "African-American" as you chose to do ... well, try that one out among some African-American DUers too, why don't you?

[iverglas]

12. pffffft

I say that as someone who is not an idiot.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

14. snork

Your claim of mental capability is amusingly noted

[TPaine7]

21. You've heard from at least two on this forum, but apparently they're not twue enough

In fact, you've questioned whether I, at least, am actually black.

How is it, iverglas, that "No true Scotsman" is a logical fallacy but "No true African American" is not?

How is it that a Canadian woman is the arbiter of US blackness? How do you know more about what and how black Americans should think than I or another black person on this site do?

What would you think about a man who presumed to explain to you what and how "real" women think and to tell you what's in your best interest from a feminine perspective?

[TPaine7]

22. I didn't realize when I wrote this that there were two besides me on this very thread

This whole thing makes me wonder whether you're a fat bald Argentinan man or preoperative Russian transgendered man plannning a trip for that special surgery or something else besides a Canadian woman. People who think everyone else is lying...

[friendly_iconoclast]

25. You're just not *progressive* enough, so you suffer from false consciousness.

You obviously won't accept this, as your erroneous worldview prevents you from doing so....

Seriously, I've run into this with certain Marxist dickheads when I've done actions with ADAPT and/or the SEIU.
They need to be reminded on a regular basis that the 'proles' are perfectly capable of forming and acting upon their own
opinions- we weren't just hanging around waiting to get the imprimatur of some overaged postgrad who had studied Capital or Proudhon....

26. where's Roy Innis when ya need him, eh?

And of course there's always Clarence Thomas ...
