Yes, you did with comments like "Enjoy your bigotry, it has served you well and will continue to serve you well into the future, but don't ever think that you are a good human being, ok?"

And that too is the definition of righteousness.

"an attribute that implies that a person's actions are justified, and can have the connotation that the person has been "judged" or "reckoned" as leading a life that is pleasing to God."

Or in the case of a secularist liberal, "pleasing to the liberal group think".



And btw I don't think I have ever considered myself as without faults. I just tend to look at life as the cup is always half full while you seem to see it as half empty.

While I probably shouldn't go down this road, I'm pretty sure I am responding to the person who has previously posted under the pseudonym "Perspective".

When you say racist things or exhibit bigotry then that is what you are whether I said or not.

It was not "prejudice" for me to make the claim because I based it upon the words and attitude that was written by the poster.

WOW

The far-left progressive leader of the huge SEIU union admits that many or most of her blue-collar members are sympathetic to Donald Trump’s pro-American populist message.

“I am deeply concerned about what is stirring, even in our membership… where our members are responding to Trump’s message,” she told David Axelrod, the chief campaign strategist for President Barack Obama’s election in 2008.

Can you see Trump winning the election? Axelrod asked. “Yea, I could, I could,” said Mary Kay Henry, the international president of the Service Employees International Union.

“Sixty-four percent of our public members identify as conservative, and are much more interested in the Republican debate than the Democratic debate at the moment,” she admitted.

“Our white conservative membership that we hear is responding to Trump’s appeal are more concentrated in the Midwest and the South,” she said. That’s critical, because the GOP candidate must do well in the Midwest to overcome the Democrats’ advantages in the immigration-heavy coastal states. That claim of support is backed up by a recent Democratic survey.

To stomp on Trump’s support, union’s leaders are personally pressuring the members, she said.

“We’re doing one-on-ones with every one of our members right now,” said Henry. “We’re going into hyperdrive, especially in the pockets of our membership that have a lot of Muslim leaders to stand against what is being said” by Trump, she said.

Have you seen Diamond and Silk yet? I'm not a big fan of Trump, but I love these ladies!

I never accused you of being self righteous.

And what does it matter if you think the glass is half full or half empty? Did you enjoy the half that you already had us what needs to be asked.

Asking the question did not prove social empathy. Not exactly evidence of prejudice.

You didn't ask a question. You made a statement.

"I guess it is a feeling you don't have and that is called empathy. Women get the short end of the stick'"

And I am calling you out on it.

Sorry, I can not continue with this line of discussion as I can see I am about to get mired in a typical Perspective roundabout.

Then strikes because the question was leading.

Nothing racist about what I posted. You defend subculture and wish it was accepted as the norm all you like but it doesn't make it right and certainly doesn't make me a racist because I acknowledge it. I suppose the New Years eve attacks all over Europe are justified because that is the invaders/refugees culture.

Nicely done.

When you judge a group of based on the difference of their cultural "norms" (skin color and dress) AND exclude them from opportunities based on those norms, yes, that can be racism.

I do not know for a fact what you have posted but the quote I cited was at best in defense of those with a racists attitude.

Again, here is the quote:"People have racist attitudes because of the way black behave. It is as plain as that, especially for the "urban blacks". Don't blame it all on whitey if you don't get a job because you speak ebonics and your pants are at our knees. Is there no responsibility on their part?"

The last sentence is telling, "Is there no responsibility on their part?"" This does not imply that those who hold the racist attitude bares any responsibility. The poster then finishes with: "I say bring back the 1950s, it was better for everyone. Except politicians that is - tax rates overall were about half of what they are now."

This was a time of regulated segregation.

So, you tell we where the silver lining is in any of those statements. Because, this is the poster I am accusing of being a bigot.

Funny that we managed to overcome or adapt our biological clocks in order to deal with artificial light that extends our day beyond what we are hard wired for.

We do evolve an adapt as a part of our natural biology.

Is there no responsibility on their part? I ask again or is it societies responsibility to accept them them as they are and provide them with six figure jobs? Maybe you missed the dozen posts about personal responsibility and playing the game by multiple people. Once again minorities that do the right thing, listed in other posts, get more than a fair deal in todays world.
Another poster had some stats up about the 1950s and black unemployment and marital status etc. I would say the 1950s was a far better decade for blacks based on those numbers alone.

The Bush years were better than the Obama years too.

Interesting

According to The New York Times, in fact, the federal government lays claim to about 47% of all land in the American West. That compares with about 4% of land east of the Mississippi River. Oregon is among the states where the federal government owns a majority of the land.

Right on point! You said it so much better than I!

Sorry but moral compasses exist and there is a baseline for behavior that society in general considers acceptable. The following are unacceptable and should not be tolerated by society: 1) racism, 2) sexism, 3) discrimination against any marginalized group (gay, disabled, Down's syndrome etc) 4) interference in women's reproductive rights whether verbal abuse or physical, 5) discrimination based upon physical appearance.

If someone is racist I call them out on it. It is not acceptable to say "oh well he is exercising his freedom of speech". Freedom of speech does not protect from the consequences of making slanderous, libelous, treasonous, or otherwise irresponsible speech.

This is the problem with this country - conservatives have used the BOR and Constitution of instruments of bludgeoning of people that don't conform to their belief that this is a Christian Republic. Most of the founding fathers were atheists or agnostic. We are no more a Christian nation than we are a nation in which our two civil wars were supported by a majority of the population.
