Why so much anger on USMB

[FJO]

How would you feel if your party tricked the entire country into a war costing trillions and claiming the lives of thousands of young Americans and we didn't even get the oil?

How would you feel if you found out your party protected BP and kept them from being investigated for months after they ruined our gulf coast?

How would you feel if you found out your party promotes "let him die" in public at presidential debates?

How would you feel if you found your leaders saying "snob" when asked about education, or trying to bring in immigrants with degrees while doing nothing to help their base?

How would you feel if you found out your leaders were holding the unemployment benefits for millions of Americans hostage while they extended tax cuts for rich people?

How would you feel if the entire world thought you were dangerous idiots after invading the wrong country?

There is a lot of reason for anger, but it will never be solved as long as there is no "acknowledgement".

It was never about oil and you know it.

You can safely swim and fish in that "ruined gulf coast".

Ask the 40 veterans who waited in vain.

Anyone who promotes college degree for people who are obviously not capable of earning one, but could be useful by learning a trade, is indeed a snob of incredible proportion and degree.

Unemployment benefits are supposed to be temporary.

Invading wrong country? You were probably too young or not even born when LBJ invaded the wrong country with a war that cost close to 60,000 lives, roughly one tenth of the lives caused by wars you bitch about.

You are right. There will be no amicable settling of disagreements as long as you don't acknowledge that the Iraq war was NOT about oil, that BP had an accident, cleaned it up, ruined nothing and paid heavily, that people of all political persuasion make mistakes, which will result in people dying, that people who make no effort to look harder, relocate and/or take a job that pays less than they are used to, that some people are just simply not college material, and that, now that Obama's wisdom ended the wars, there is no more reason to bitch about them.

FJO is mad at the truth, angry and bitter.

If you think so, have at it!

RNC Chair Michael Steele Confesses to Race-Based Southern Strategy | Mediaite

“For the last 40-plus years we had a ‘Southern Strategy’ that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South. Well, guess what happened in 1992, folks, ‘Bubba’ went back home to the Democratic Party and voted for Bill Clinton.”

USATODAY.com - GOP: 'We were wrong' to play racial politics

"Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," Mehlman said at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."

post 139 proves jake is a liar. initially he agreed with the OP and did not mention anything about the left. after i called him on this, he then started complaining about the left so people wouldn't realize he is just like the leftwinger who started this thread.

--> Jake: "Much of the anger from the far right" <-- OP said the same and jake concurred

 

[JakeStarkey]

I explained why the Far Right is hateful and full of anger.

Yurt cries about me for explaing why the Far Right, of which he is one, is hateful and full of anger.

And I have said that both sides do it.

Yurt, son, once again your are beginning to melt.

 

[FJO]

Would you be so forgiving, loving and understanding if Donald Sterling "repented"? . . . . If anyone "repented" it was Strom Thurman by abandoning his racist Democrat roots and became Republican.

Byrd changed his ways, FJO, but Strom did not. Tell your rant to his illegitimate black daughter Strom never acknowledged, and I bet she would laugh in your face.

When a white man has child with a black woman, it is proof that the man is NOT a racist.

 

[Dot Com]

I am amazed lately at the anger that is being exhibited by many of the posters on USMB. While not exclusively so, it seems much of the anger if coming from the conservative and RW stance. I just don't understand why the elevated levels of anger. We are here to rationally debate different topics and issues. No reason to insert anger into the conversations.

Does anyone have any idea why?

Thanks

I also clicked on "active topics" today & was presented w/ rw thread after rw thread of vitiolic rage To be fair, they all get their *cough* "news" from the same place & their homepages are all set to the same place so its to be expected.

when I see these, more often than not, unsourced or zany sourced threads I put the kabash on them but fast!!! I may not start fights but I sure as heck finish them :

Please explain that retarded statement.^^^

 

[JakeStarkey]

Even Yurt would not write, "When a white man has child with a black woman, it is proof that the man is NOT a racist."

I least I hope not.

The fact that white men had access to black women for centuries without the women having recourse completely invalidates such an awful, racist statement.

I wonder why I'm only 72% sub-saharan instead of 94%? I'm pretty sure slave owners were racist.

Neither Strom Thurmond, nor I ever used the N-word as KKK Grand Wizard Robert K, Byrd did, so there is nothing to repent.

Byrd, on the other hand.....

 

[Amelia]

Oh bullshit. Show an instance of Strom Thurmond doubling down on offensive positions. Make sure you pick an instance which occurred after Robert Byrd's extraordinarily late conversion from being a brazen bigot.

Strom's not publicly acknowledging his illegitimate black daughter?

OMG -- a politician who had an affair didn't publicly admit it and that's him doubling down on racist positions?



Robert Byrd in 2001 on the subject of race relations:

They're much, much better than they've ever been in my lifetime ... I think we talk about race too much. I think those problems are largely behind us ... I just think we talk so much about it that we help to create somewhat of an illusion. I think we try to have good will. My old mom told me, 'Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that. There are white *******. I've seen a lot of white ******* in my time, if you want to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much.

If that's how a Republican "repented and spent the rest of us life making it up", there would be no end to the castigation of him.

False equivalency. Byrd repented and Strom changed parties and had an illegitmate black daughter he would not publicly acknowledge.

Amelia, we are talking about race, and Strom did not acknowledge his black daughter.

You do realize that Strom ran a segregationist campaign for POTUS in 1948 dont you?

Pretty much when he supports his actions with beautiful quotes like this:

"I want to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, there&#8217;s not enough
troops in the army to force the southern people to break
down segregation and accept the Negro [pronounced Nigra]
into our theatres, into our swimming pools, into our homes,
and into our churches."

BTW did you no he was also a child molester?

You have to go back to a 1948 quote from Strom Thurmond when I give you a 2001 quote from Robert Byrd?

 

[Meathead]

Your hate is borne of a pathological inferiority complex. There is little point countering the obvious though you no doubt feel compelled to do so.

No. All I have to do is look at how he never acknowledged his biracial daughter that was conceived by having sex with a 16 year old Black girl. BTW what did Byrd say that was cause for concern?

I though you guys kept up on each others exploits? Everyone knows about this.
