Alabama pastor holds ‘whites only’ conference

[hey]

I'm raising legit questions and arugments

lol

[Xno Kappa]

Came in this thread expecting lulz, got everyone being trolled by test again. I am disappoint.

[BaneTheBrawler]

idk, given how consistently obvious he is about trolling i think it's funny.

[Ashmada]

What's the difference between "I can't/won't date you because you're white/black/asian/hispanic/etc" and "I won't/can't associate with you because you're white/black/asian/hispanic/etc"?

What's the difference between "I can't/won't dat eyou because you're a woman" and "I won't/can't associate with you because you're a woman"?

Same reductio ad absurdum I've used before, but you've been unable to address it before and yet you re-used the same line of thinking.

[Churchill]

Why can't he be both? Like Churchill? Maybe test123 is Burrows's alt account!

Haters

If you're saying being LGBTQ is just a preference, then LGBTQ people eventually be phased out just like racism potentially can be.

(For the whole dating and associating it comes down to personality for me.)

[hey]

If you're saying being LGBTQ is just a preference,

Well, it is a preference. However you have no more control over your preferences in sex partners than you do in whether you like pizza or hamburgers better. Everyone has their preferences, and there is usually no real reason for them. People like what they like. Trying to change your preferences, or even analyze why you prefer one thing over another is generally pointless.

So then why was this thread made? It's a group of white people that prefer not to be around any other race.

And there should be a maximum amount you can edit a post in a matter of 2 minutes. I think that's been 7 edits and a lot of backpedaling.

Well, while you cannot typically just sit down and decide to like pizza, certain preferences (such as not wanting to be around black people) can be shaped by outside influences. Furthermore, even if there's truly nothing you can do about it, certain preferences are harmful to society, so it can be worthwhile to discuss, even if we can never change anyone's mind, because it can make them hide their true thoughts, and at least act as if they did not have such preferences. And while that is not an ideal situation, it is sometimes the best we can do.

I guess next time i realize i worded a post completely wrong, i can just delete it until decide on how i want to rewrite it, if that's what you'd prefer. Also, it was only like 5 edits, at least at the time of your post. Any apparent backpedaling was because what i originally said did not match my thoughts.

Progress: Just hiding your true feelings better.

[Churchill]

Eating Pizza/KFC/McDonalds/etc is harmful to society, preferring any of them is bad

[hey]

Progress: Just hiding your true feelings better.

It's better than nothing, yes. And if they hide it really well, they won't pass it on to their children, so there will be less racism in the future.

In the short term, the racists are doing less harm to the targets of their hate, and in the long term, there is less racism. How is that not progress?

[hey]

oh, sorry i didn't realize you wanted to build the pyramids in a single day.

[Churchill]

hey is usually pretty dumb but he has a good point, and based on your other posts in this topic I don't think you have the capability of looking at this topic objectively or realistically.

[BaneTheBrawler]

I gotta say, this whole argument that Milkster is putting forth just seems like such a childlike view of the world, and I have a hard time taking it seriously. Discrimination is bad, therefore racism!

Except we live in the real world where certain levels of discrimination are not only expected, but highly important. If we didn't select our doctors from pools of people sharing specific traits (Years of education, etc), we'd end up with Simple Jack hitting people in the head with a hammer every time they got a stomach ache. Discrimination is a very important aspect of living. Like ANYTHING ELSE in the universe, this can be taken to extremes, and be bad.

Edit: Where we, as a society, draw that line is when someone tries to assert superiority or restrict access/rights. And, being the flexible, adaptable creatures that we are, sometimes the line shifts around a bit. It's all about context. Sexual preference is not the same as social acceptance. I'm perfectly cool with gay marriage, but I'm not gonna go pork some dudes. Doesn't make me a homophobe.

wut

[hey]

Milkster is obviously a fan of the all or nothing approach.

[Plow]

When it comes to these kind of discussions, he clearly just has a stick up his ass, or something.

[Dotsudoku]

It boggles my mind that he's unable to discern the difference between physical preferences in a physical partner(which can and typically does include how one's ethnicity manifests in their appearance), and preferring to not be juxtaposed in certain or all facets of life with ethnicities you ignorantly believe to be inferior to your own. It's really quite an astonishingly asinine thing to not comprehend. Especially when Ashmada already drew an equally fallacious parallel with regard to his sexual preference.
