When blatant racism is pointed out in any demographic except the targeted one, it's quickly glossed over.

Only racism among white conservative Americans gets assessed to the point of over exaggeration where all are ultimately viewed as being nazis.

However, it's completely ridiculous for white conservative Americans to think anyone wants to do away with them.


How is calling right wing racists Nazis in any way an exaggeration?

Because it's applied so liberally with such a broad brush.

Really what it comes down to is, unless someone a leftist liberal, then they're nazi/kkk or might as well be.

Honestly there's no confusion or ambiguity about the killer who ploughed into civilians - he a member of a neo-Nazi group and an admirer of Hitler. The irony is the poor girl who was killed had a German surname.

Nope, you kept saying punk shows and Austin were white spaces despite how there are non-white punk bands and Austin happens to be one of the most liberal cities on the planet. You are only now pretending you were just referring to what that link is saying to hide the fact I tore apart your lack of knowledge on both points. I've also seen more white people, especially white Christians, say rock music of any sort is "devil's music" and want to eliminate it from society. I want to move to Austin since it's one of the few places in the Bible Belt where you can actually be who you are and not get harassed for not being a "gewd Chrishun fulk".

As for white guilt not existing, I beg to differ:

I definitely hear what you're saying----and, would agree with you, if it were almost anybody, other than cyberdad. One thing I've got to say, in his defense, is that he can, at least, admit when he's wrong, or has over-thought something, or whatever----and, I believe it's sincere (NOT like the many narcissists on here, who only say things like that, to be throwing someone a bone).

He was a lone person acting alone by himself. But somehow he ends up being every white republican in America.

This is the same exact thing as saying one Muslim killer equals all Muslims. Exactly the the same. Amazing.

And it's so obvious the left are just exploiting the situation. They act so frigging desperate it's embarrassing.

America has a long history of this.

Thom is right. We crackers are losing our privilege. That's one of the main reasons why my life sucks right now.

There are two possible solutions to this.

1# "We need to take back our position of power! Down with darkies!"
2# "Perhaps we should just find a new opponent. What about the billionaires? Aren't they ruining everything?"

I've firmly taken solution 2. I like to be on the right side of history.

Swiss hotel sparks outrage with signs about 'Jewish guests'
Quote:
Swiss hotel has sparked outrage after posting signs addressed to “Jewish guests”, warning them to shower before going swimming and that they can only use the refrigerator at certain times.

“To our Jewish guests, women, men and children, please take a shower before you go swimming and…after swimming,” read the sign at the Aparthaus Paradies in Arosa, an Alpine resort village in east Switzerland.

“If you break the rules I’m forced to close the swimming pool for you.”

A second sign, also addressed to “our Jewish guests”, warned that they could only access the refrigerator at certain times of the day. “I hope you understand that our team does not like being disturbed all the time,” it read.

Photographs of the signs quickly went viral on social media and sparked an official complaint from the Israeli foreign minister.

The Aparthaus Paradies rushed to remove the signs and try to contain the fall out. Ruth Thomann, the hotel manager who signed the notices, said the signs were “a mistake”.

"I wrote something naive on that poster,” she told the Blick newspaper.

The hotel management also insisted they had not mean to be offensive. “There was no anti-Semitic intent and the signs were removed,” the hotel said. “We have no problem with Jewish guests at the hotel.”

The hotel is apparently popular with ultra-Orthodox Jewish visitors because it has a reputation for accommodating their dietary restriction and rules about Shabbat, the Jewish holy day.

Ms Thomann said the signs were put up because two Jewish girls had gone into the swimming pool without taking a shower.

I don't think many liberals think all Republicans are racists. But it is undeniable that since the days of Nixon and Reagan, the GOP has gone out out of its way to lure racists into their ranks. Even to the point of embracing obvious racist policies, such as race based voter suppression on the pretext of fighting voter fraud. Or rolling back civil rights legislation.

I think it's fair that most republicans are tolerant of intolerance in segments of their support base

Or maybe when people are chanting heil Trump and giving the nazi salute and brandishing torches during a rally it is a pretty clear sign they don't have an issue with things like Nazism/KKK. I certainly don't think anyone who's not a liberal is a nazi...but when said people do things like that then yeah I think it is safe to assume at least those ones are affiliated with neo-nazi ideology.

If "white guilt" didn't exist there wouldn't be people flogging themselves (figuratively speaking, though I'm sure you can find literal cases :lol: ) for the sins of their ancestors. Obviously it's a thing.

I mean, how else would you explain those white people who constantly go on about white privilege and how it's your responsibility to do so too because you share their skin color?

I'm not guilty for being white.

I'm white. What does that mean? It means my ancestors were Europeans. That's about it.

Of course, there are plenty of other crackers out there who think that being white makes you hot s**t. Many of them are cops.

By the way, it's okay to use the word "cracker" because not all white people are crackers. Didn't Chris Rock say something about that? :lol:

I'm not sure if you were alluding to original sin. Christians do generically flog themselves during prayer over the "sins of their forefathers" but that's another story

I really hope people of European stock wake up and smell the roses. Being "white" based on loosely (and flimsy) associations linked to concentration of melanin in one's skin is invoking colonial European divisions that should have been chucked when we had the United Nations. SO called "white guilt" is a projection based on personal insecurities about identity which is why identity politics makes things easy. It's why a European person from England or France can step off in New York and be a "legal alien" because they meet the skin color requirement (cue for Sting's Englishman in New York song)
