| Exporting Democracy is the preferred term, but what they're actually exporting is the pyramid scheme that is our economic model. |

| I would like an apology from the people who told me I was acting in poor taste for comparing Trump's GOP cult to the Nazi Party now please. I would like an apology from the people who told me I was being both stupid and ignorant for claiming that the current administration is a misogynistic and rac... |

| Sicilians and Lebanese are often considered white and are often darker than some folks who generally are not considered white. Races don't really have solid definitions and this trend towards fuzzy borders is part of what makes them social constructs instead of biological realities. It's the other ... |

| What I do have a problem with is when people are not willing to consider context for a term like “racist” but are willing to consider it for that word. It’s a double standard. You mean like Alex's comment. I think he means more like Pepe, where that word is viewed as a horrific attack beyond all de... |

| I really wish I could focus enough to get my series written. You might like it quite a bit since I intend of focusing both on a lot of the 'upper class' concerns and families as well as the regular people who's lives are altered by stuff they've got no control over. |

It was a celebration of 100th anniversary of regaining independence. Journalists indeed found and photographed a far-right group but thousands of peop... |

| But defending the use of the n-word while criticising the use of “racist”, or publicly opposing bullying while also participating in it - not fine. Sorry about the first comment. But if his quote is to believed it wasn't used in a racist way , he tried to equate his attack the same as racism , how ... |

| I would go as far as to say that if anybody believes “white” is an ethnic group with common characteristics.....that that somebody is probably a racist. Well, they all have white skin! :mrgreen: But yes, go to Europe, and there are many different white ethnicities with considerably different cultur... |

| It is very interesting that many of the users who are leaping to the defence of the use of the n-word have also been campaigning for a ban on the use of the word “racist”. It is very interesting to me that many of the users today arguing that users should be interpreted charitably have been campaig... |

| Isn't Duke the former Grand Dragon Space Wizard, or whatever the top rank is? He is, but that doesn't inherently mean much. It's like being the 'leader' in a religious sect that doesn't recognize a central leadership. The Klan doesn't exist as a single group but instead dozens or more, and some of ... |
