Pennsylvania Judge Sentenced For 28 Years For Selling Kids to the Prison System.
Given this community has now come up with a sound and truthful distinction between "racism" and "culturalism" (because one is OBVIOUSLY ok, and the other ISN'T lolwhut?), I figured we might as well start the same old fight all over again. Cuz we can do this as long as we need to. Everything still applies. White culture is a culture that trafficks children, sexually, for profit, legally, for profit, starves orphans and widows, destroys families, and trains lawyers. If you don't take this as a microcosm of the American paradigm, you are a racist. If you deny that white culture has enslaved and destroyed an entire people, conceived in mass rape, you are a racist. If you deny that white capitalism has criminalized millions of people along racial lines, you are a racist. If you deny that this country was built on a foundation of bones and slavery, you are a racist. If you deny that this country was built upon the dead infants of the First Nations, you are a racist.
If you don't ask yourself why the NRA isn't saying that Trayvon Martin would be alive today if he had only carried a handgun, you are a racist. If you don't ask yourself why, you are a racist. If you think that smoking weed should be a crime, you are a racist. Cuz that's the thing about racism, you don't have to acknowledge it. You could go your entire life without ever hearing or knowing of a concept of "racism", and you could still be racist. That's how it works, you see. There was no concept of racism in 2300 BC, but you bet your ass they were racist. The idea that one can be racist based upon whether or not one explicitly adopts the label is the silliest sort of White People Thinking you can come up with. It's like saying you're not a Criminal unless you accept the label. Well in that case, no one in prison is guilty either, geniuses.
I mean, do you guys think you're clever? Oh we'll just throw all the black people in prison and then argue about how that depicts a certain cultural characteristic. Yes, genius, it's a certain cultural characteristic called, "being prone to being thrown in jail." Are these depths of self-delusion and obtuse reasoning hard to attain, or are people just acting this disingenuously? (You can't say "stupid", you have to say "disingenuously.")
Yes I know, every single racist that ever lived had very good reasons for their racism, backed up by statistics and facts, and every racist who ever lived was certain that they were simply dealing with the facts, however disingenously cherry-picked, or viciously slanted, or intentionally obtuse. I mean, really, you're trying this again? What, you all thought we forgot how this worked? JEWS HAVE MORE MONEY, FACT! JEWS RUN A LOT OF BANKS, FACT! Take this grade-school conspiracy thinking back to where it belongs- in the grave.

Date: 31/7/13 01:32 (UTC)Whatever, I don't expect you to see how making broad statements about a whole religion is considered trolling. (http://talk-politics.livejournal.com/1744491.html?thread=139113067#t139113067)
But you don't seem to have much trouble with broad statements about a whole race.
Then there's the whole "culture" talk:
I'm going out on a limb here, but I imagine Muslims don't like to be thought of as some abstract, highly generalized group of all Muslim culture. (-"http://talk-politics.livejournal.com/1744491.html?thread=139109739#t139109739")
But when someone says "It is clear and undeniable how corrupt white culture is.", you don't seem to have a problem with it.

Date: 31/7/13 11:35 (UTC)Fuck it. Force folk to pay enough in taxes to have a secure and corruption-free judiciary: club dues for living in a state that prides itself on "Justice".
As for the race thing: it appears to be part of the essential medium of an unpleasant part of our culture. Most of these folk self-identify by reminding themselves they are not "other".

Date: 1/8/13 01:07 (UTC)And man, that judge. That fucking judge. Makes me so uncomfortable because now I have to worry about explaining to people that I'm not THAT sort of white person, that we're not ALL like that... oh wait. :)
Seriously though I'm developing a greater loathing for my current home state by the day.

Date: 4/8/13 11:17 (UTC)This particular topic makes me contemplate the day when our society will rid ourselves of this ancient/outdated practice of imprisonment, and choose to employ a more effective system of rehabilitation and redemption.
