Eat that.

Purely being devil's advocate: You could be racist and choose never to act on that out of respect for the law (I.E, I might be a Japanese immigrant and secretly despise all non-Asians [why I moved here, the world will never know], but also recognize that the law says everyone must be treated equally.

Not really hurting people, but still racist.

Interesting....
Right, I could be a secret white supremacy in real life, but nobody would know that because people don’t know much of me on this website.

That was my point; it's entirely possible that such a person could exist.

Likely? Eeehhhhh....who knows. I doubt it. But possible.

Morally wrong in re: gay is subjective by opinion. Usually based by religion. Fortunately, a lot of churches are getting more progressive.

BLM is not by the nature of its movement, socialist, or anti-religious.

We are divided as we stopped being about liberty. Now we're trying to enforce our individual world views onto our own people who don't like our ideas.

The 1st Amendment is anti-religious by its nature.

Being gay is not morally wrong.

Being gay is morally wrong.

- Trumpists, 2021

No it's not. The 1st specifically guarantees ALL religions the right to be freely expressed. This is NOT the enforced public secularism of France, where you can be whatever you want but nothing is allowed in public beyond buildings. No, this says "You can do whatever you want, just play nice."

That is the most pro-religion you can possibly get on this Earth, because it 100% supports them all.

What makes you think BLM is anti-religious?

Read the mission statement.

I have, and I don't see anti-religion in there. I am asking you, what makes you think BLM is anti-religion?

What makes you think that BLM is socialist?

What do you hate about socialism? What makes you scared of it?

#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives

Look, how would you feel if someone said that because of their religion, you couldn’t be straight. I’m fine with you being a part of a homophobic religion (well, not really, but that’s a different discussion), but when you force other people into your beliefs, that’s not okay. When you start voting on other people’s civil rights, that’s not okay.

I'm gonna start that 'different discussion' with you, because I'm Catholic and consider your statement to be hypocritical. If someone supports the right of someone else to live how they want, and support 100% equal civil liberties for all, then they are in no way acting in any fashion that could be remotely homophobic. What then makes us morally culpable for anything? We're not hurting anyone, and let me tell you; from visits to the LGBTQ+ stream and a lot of LGBTQ+ forums, only once out of asking 17 times have I been told by anyone that my being Catholic is problematic since I support 100% equal civil liberties for all no matter their race, sex/sexual orientation, or creed. In conclusion then, if I don't support suppressing them, and they overwhelmingly agree that I'm as a result not a homophobe, then what exactly do you consider to be the problem?

Nothing. You hear me, nothing. I didn’t know you were a progressive catholic, and I am fine with that then. Thank you for clarifying. You are a good person.

You're good, I came out guns blazing because I'm tired of all these Protestant/Evangelicals ruining the Catholic image in the matter.

Being gay isn't morally wrong.

I agree with you on the last 2. However my best partner at work I had for about 2 years was a gay black man. My boss after about 2 days called me into his office since I was a new employee assigned a gay black man as my partner. He said that you know ___ is a little different. Is it ok he is your partner. I said I learned a lot from him and liked him. I actually afterwards became a nuclear inspector and inspected him. I told his supervisors I learned a lot from him. I praised his work and his work group. I did not consider him morally wrong.

They are called racists because they are.

"They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. It was a sandy foundation, and the government built upon it fell when the "storm came and the wind blew."

Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government"

Thanks for proving what I've been saying...

Trump supporters are so racist, they can only recognize blatant racism.

They literally lack the mental capacity to consider anything beyond that small box. That, or they do know there are other kinds, they just knowingly deny they exist so that they can be racist.

Probably both.

Thanks for playing.

Trump voters are not the racists though! I never said blacks are too stupid to get ID or are unable to comply with police because of systemic racism like liberals do. I as a military officer only cared about Attitude and ability. Nothing else. Here is a youtube to remind you of who the REAL racists are. Have to say I have been more impressed with the too stream and even agree on vaccines. You leaving up comments that go against your echo chamber. We will see if this continues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW2LpFkVfYk

1) yes, they are.
2) no, Liberals have not said that Blacks are "too stupid to get IDs"
3) complying with the police does not stop them from being murdered by the police. There are many many many examples of this. AND failure to comply is not a crime that carries a death sentence that must be carried out immediately.
4) Thank you.

Watch the youtube, yes they did and also too stupid to get on internet. FACT!

The "man on the street" videos are selectively edited. Go watch Ye Olde Tonight Show videos when Lenno did the same gag.

They literally pick the stupidest answer they can find. That's so far beyond confirmation bias that it goes well into propaganda.

You watch garbage. You need to stop. It's actively removing intelligence from you.

good ol' tonight show, always proving dump trumpists wrong

Can Donald Trump Supporters Tell His Quotes Apart from Hitler's?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDl5MW3ykhQ

Ehh, potato pottato. Some of trump’s vocal supporters have been white supremists. Nazis were right wing (more auth centre, but still to the right) and were obviously racist. Obama had right wing racists against him, saying he was born in Kenya, calling him “buck”
Second off, I know racism is not limited to one side. But the left is just notoriously less racist over the ages. The union was actually left wing, (yes, old republicans were left wing), the left was behind de segregation, the list goes on.
I also am suspicious since that video comes from Fox News, but when I have time I’ll give it a watch.
Good to have you here at the stream. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Trump voters heard quotes said by hitler and were told they were quotes by trump and they agreed with hitler

Are most Trump supporters racist? Probably not. But are most racists Trump supporters? I think that’s a given at this point.

You are projecting.

Its not about brains its about that statistics and hurdles. Voter ID laws affect POC more than others because nationally they are the demographic that most often lacks ID. Like poll taxes and literacy tests at the polls before - you select a test that will more impact a demographic that isn't voting for you.

It would be like requiring a bus pass to vote - anyone can get one; it isn't that hard. However, there are people who might have otherwise voted who decide not to. You are really going to reduce voter turnout for people who are going to have to drive all the way to the city to get the bus a bus pass.

It isn't that people can't comply with police, it is that when people don't comply the reaction of the police is disproportionate.

Actually, I read a recent analysis of passing of voter ID laws and it concluded that they have little effect on either voter turnout or voter confidence in results.

It seems there is a feedback loop whereby the passing of the voter ID law starts a grassroots movement to make sure people who might have had trouble getting an ID are able to get one. Reminding them to register, offering a ride to the location to get the ID (no drivers license for a reason), etc.

Conversely, apparently the people who claim there is voter fraud don't gain any more confidence in election results. When surveyed before and after, the same number of people (give or take) thought there was cheating.

When you add requirements that will burden one group more than others it isn't calling them weak to point out the disparity. I have no doubt that they can meet the requirement but the precedent of letting it stand doesn't sit well with me.
