Guarantee they all live in areas with like 4% minority representation.

The most virulent BLM advocate on my FB feed live in Woodstock, NY which might be the whitest place in America. Yeah, You love black lives so much you chose to be as far away from them as possible.

100% this. What you will notice around universities where the white liberals live is it's 99.9% white. BLM signs for days inn their yards.

Because the facts are not on their side. Facts tend to disclose motive as well as moral relativism

Your OP is directed at a very specific situation, in which you attempted to discuss a substantive issue and your “opponent“ avoided the substance by focusing upon a complete non-issue.

That is a fair description of 90% of the responses to anything posted on this forum and lying outside mainstream forum orthodoxy.

Some (eg GTHog) hurl pejoratives (Cuck!). Some (eg NIH) deflect (How did you vote in 2016?). Some drag-up 6-year-old posts (Anyone responding to Toddy). Some (eg STDTiger) just tell outright lies. But (again) 90% avoid the substance of the post ... just like your Twitter encounter.

It is what it is.

90% is low, amigo. I'd peg it at 95+%

This place is an echo chamber--the most dangerous of modern political places. Most people come here to validate their existing opinions and use it as a safe place to talk about all the ugly shite in their heads that they don't want to feel bad about. It's like the digital version of a white-hood meeting.

It's going to be amazing to use these threads as a dataset down the line as a comparison point for whatever is percolating next between right/left. I wish so much the TD Poli Board existed from the 50s-on. It would have been great pulling up now old segregation threads with schools/sports to show how not much has really changed--entitled white people knashing their teeth because their unfair advantages we're being sloooooooowly removed.

An even playing field is a scary place for insecure people. Maybe throwing around cuck all the time is just projection?

Lol. Oh, look, the NYC dipshit is comparing this place to Klan meetings, what a surprise.

Once one of these idiots resorts to calling you racist or similar, its time to disengage in the knowledge that Your point has been made and further discussion will only devolve further.

I would prefer to have one genuine black friend opposed to being a racist white liberal who only views black people as pets.

That was certainly a bit of rhetorical flourish, but I think it is safe to say that many treat this place as a “safe space” where they can say things that they would be absolutely mortified to say in an “in person” situation.

Yeah, it's called the internet.

Don’t waste time on opinions from those types of people. Chances are they probably have never had a legit conversation with a black person.

I’ve got about 4 black neighbors and we shoot the shite like it’s nothing. Taught one how to use my edger yesterday. One has a big arse Great Dane that is trained like a German Shepard and he’s bad arse.

What I’m saying is, outside of the media and what those lunatics do in cities, we can coexist if we aren’t LOOKING for racist things to complain about. It’s not as bad as it’s portrayed.

I don't have "black" friends, I don't have "white, red, brown or green" friends. I have good folks I can count on.

Most I can count on more than family.

Truth.

Oh my god you’ve really been around! We don’t get many travelers like you through these parts. Golly gee, a real life cosmopolitan!

Tell us some stories, if you don’t mind? What’s it like out there in the big world?
