So considering minority interests, particularly while discussing something explicitly about that minority, is racist?Correct. Being an identifiable member of the powerful majority makes it incumbent upon me (morally and patriotically) to consider minority interests before worrying overmuch about those of people like me.If I may, I don't think Biff is saying it isn't necessarily. Depends on context. I gather in this case he was referring to this:I discussed more potential black republican candidates than anyone else did -- especially you...Almost a month later......and the question is still unanswered....
I will break the news to Diamond & Silk
The point of this thread was not to discuss actual potential candidates,
but just to smear your partisan enemies as Evul Wacists.
That is the point I have addressed and refuted.
Your pretense otherwise, just shows how dishonest you are, and how your words, are not to be given any weight.
THis is something we need to keep in mind, as you insist that you have not had your ass kicked.
Evul Wacists? LOL!!!
you still arguing about a guy in 1996 who you call a traitor now....
But you guys are used to cheerleading people and then calling them evil traitors later....
How is that any different from Democrats calling certain blacks sellouts and Uncle Toms?
Plus he had attacked Romney for effectively supporting gay marriage in Massachusetts. He'd remained a reliable rightwing nutjob prior, including acting as a key (pun intended) birther against Obama. That said, I generally strive to hear what folks like IM2 have to say about such things before flapping my gums.During the time of the 2016 presidential election, Keyes emerged as a strong critic of Donald Trump. He criticized many conservative Christians for supporting "a candidate whose life could be used to illustrate the deceitfully seductive quality of sin summarized in the phrase 'the glamour of evil.'"
Because you defer to them based on their race.
All . . . will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect and to violate would be oppression.
You are conflating rights and interests. I would and do defend the rights of all people.
When you want tell white people to defer to the interests of black people, because "majority/minority you are violating the right of the white people to their interests and equal protection before the law and equal rights to the political process.
YOu are the racist here, not I.
Of course it is. After all, in the minds of some individuals, considering the interests of minorities(specifically blacks)is an act of being "anti white", because the white population has "sacrificed so much for blacks", and blacks are "ungrateful" and must realize that when a black person experiences any success, it was likely at the expense of a noble, unselfish white person.
