how does one figure fake racism?

Follow of islam: check
terrorist: check

Any other questions?

Can't figure out how this relates to anything we're saying. "Muslim" and "terrorist" are not races.

Fox poll this morning notes Moore trailing by 10.

Only one problem, Polling sample has an R+2 sample base. Alabama is more like +25.

(facts I don't like)

Fox news has been an outlier in their Alabama polls for months. I'm not entirely sure what their pollsters are smoking. Moore is winning in most polls, but we'll see how it ends up tomorrow.

We'll also see if Obama's support of Jones is as effective as his support of Hillary....

Interesting side note, before we can fix a problem we must first identify that problem, meaning acknowledging our own wrongness and mistakes is a critical part of realizing our own potential.

I agree.

But here's the problem in this scenario, stripped down.

It isn't, in fact, an issue of states' rights because it goes right back to the preamble of the Declaration of Independence which these "Constitutionalists" claim to defend.

"All men are created equal."

It's right there. "All men."

Now, let's pretend to take this literally and go ahead and exclude women and children. (I don't think in practicality we should, but that's a different argument).

What we're basically arguing against/for here is the states' right to define "human male."

This isn't about interstate commerce or issues of public decency. It's not even about giving those uppity women rights when they should be tending the little ones.

Those all have some (from "very little" to "significant") room for discussion.

Dehumanization is the single most effective tool in inflicting harm, pain, death, and indignity on others.

So while you may technically be correct in saying it was a "states' rights" issue -- and I get it, you love to pick apart details and find holes to abuse -- the bottom line is that it is not an issue that should have ever been relegated to state or local decision, even in these "Constitutionalists'" strict definition of such.

I would think it's obvious.

They want to portray him as losing to get more Rs out there voting for him.

It's a good tactic, one that the Dems should have understood while they were busy jerking themselves off over all the polls showing Jilldawg beating T-Rump.

There are more subtle ways of doing that besides destroying your own credibility. Then again, the media as a whole hasn't exactly figured out that balancing act.

I'm pretty sure if Trump has taught us anything this election cycle, it's that "subtle" is not a trait we want as a country. If we can even recognize it.

The one where you suggested slavery isn't about racism but having unfair power and policy over another race (which is racism)?

Ramyrez said: »
It's not about secret racism. It's not about racism at all. It's about money and power as all slavery has always been throughout history.

States -- indeed, no one -- should have the "right" to decide whether or not to enslave other people.
And that is not what the conversation was about.

The reason isn't net neutrality, the reason is simply 'because' which is pretty much Pai's reasoning.

I feel like this is a many who was a nerd and got beat up a lot for it to the point that he now resents nerds, and this is his vengeance.

No, no. I kid, I kid.

He's just another corporate-owned piece of ***.
