@tkchau:

RIP!

any flav songs to share?

I say a little prayer, obviously!

@aadam101:

Where are the All Lives Matter folks?  I don't see them helping in Chicago.  I also didn't see them trying to free children from cages at the border.

All Lives Matter is not an organisation but a reaction to the racism in Black Lives Matter which is why you don't see them.
Whereas Black Lives Matter was supposedly created to help black communities, therefore their silence is very hypocritical and as @raphjd said:

@raphjd:

Let's not forget how much the people I mentioned would have race baited the hell out of a single incident against a black if the gunman was white, but they are totally silent when the gunmen are black.

Clearly, black lives only sometimes matter to the race baiters.

BLM is racist, totally biased and doesn't care about black people.

Also several months ago she was complaining that Rep. Joe Crowley was ignoring her when she asked for a debate. But she's so entitled that she felt the need to visit him in his office to ask him again!
So basically she catcalled then harassed him according to her own logic. And no progressives will call her toxic femininity out! :funny2:

I need a dick, so very unlikely!

I'm attracted to masculine people with a penis so the answer is no!

@raphjd:

Blindly following me around the forums downvoting/angry facing all of my posts, regardless of content/subject, isn't speech.

People are entitled to their feelings and can express them however they like, apart from violence or enticement thereof.
That's freedom of speech and expression.

@raphjd:

If he grows some balls and engages in actual speech, then we wouldn't be here.

Hear, hear!

@raphjd:

We could view his recent targetting of you and me as spam, considering how it's extremely clear that he didn't take the time to know what he was downvoting and angry facing.

Really! And you're going to tell me that's not censorship!?
You're going to find any loophole to get him blocked, aren't you?
Notice you said: "we could view his recent targetting of you and me as spam". Not subjective at all.

I personally do not care if he's downvoting me, my purpose here is not to be liked

NYT has just hired Sarah Jeong and they stand by their decision. They knew about the tweets.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/02/business/media/sarah-jeong-new-york-times.html

Here are the tweets:

And I love this part:

Ms. Jeong also received support from people who said her tweets had been taken out of context and questioned the motives behind those who had resurfaced them.

ROFL!! When the far-left moral busybodies demand that someone should be fired over old tweets, that's ok. But when the situation is reversed, they don't have to abide by their own standards!

By the way, I don't want her to be fired, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy here. If a white person had said anything remotely close about <insert minority="" group="">, there would be mass outrage and people would be burning the NYT building down!!!
I want the NYT to hire more people like her so when their circulation goes down, I'll be here enjoying the show.</insert>

You've missed my point!

Removing the thumb down is censorious no matter the reason.

@raphjd:

I don't censor speech unless they are liars,

Where is the lie in downvoting someone!? It's just feelings.

Tommy Robinson who unfairly spent 2 months in prison has been released and the mainstream media are pissed!  :cheers:
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/aug/01/tommy-robinson-freed-on-bail-after-court-quashes-conviction

The trial that sent him to prison was unfair and did not respect due process of law.
TL;DR the whole process (and the people involved) was totally biaised against him.

Personally, I'm ecstatic about his release. And I'm glad he's still alive as some cough of the inmates really don't like that he tells the truth about them.

I have a problem with the word preference here as if you choose to like certain races.
Let me tell you all the truth, you don't. And it's not a preference but attraction. You don't choose who you're attracted to, full stop!

@Talisin:

If you honestly don't think your preferences are racist, then ask yourself; "Why do I not like someone sexually, just because of their race."
If you are not interested in someone just because of their race, Then by the English definition of discrimination (the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex), You are being racist.

You are also attracted to someone based on physical characteristics which can be gender, sex, skin colour, height, weight, age, hair colour, complexion (wrinkles, freckles etc), body hair, beard, eye colour and probably many more. And whichever side you happen to be on regarding these categories, it doesn't make you bigoted in any way.
Are you bigoted against blonds for being into dark-haired people, bigoted against tall people for being into smaller people or even better misogynist for being gay!?

By the way, dating is in and of itself discriminatory! Apart from a few pansexual polyamorous affirmative-action fetishising progressives, most people are picky when it comes to dating.

@Talisin:

That might make you a little uncomfortable, but if your personal prejudices are showing that clearly, its best to sit and think for a bit as to where your way of thinking comes from so you can work on it.

I don't have to do anything! I did not give in to the fundamentalist religious right back then and I'm certainly not giving in to the far-left today. Thank you very much!!

To the one who used the angry face on my post, I'd like to know what what upset you.
Is it the fact that I'm calling progressives out for their bigotry or for the way they like to keep minorities under the thumb for their own interests?
I'm genuinely curious and amused to be honest.

Don't get me wrong, I understand where you're coming from and I'm not saying your anger isn't legitimate. All I'm saying is don't become the enemy here! There are enough censorious people as it is.

I am for free speech and downvoting is part of it in my opinion, even when used by cowards!

@raphjd:

The left are the biggest racist because they believe that non-whites must be treated as animals that are not responsible for their own behaviour.

It's called the soft bigotry of low expectations.
It's one of the two main reasons why I despise progressivism so much, the other being the victim mentality.

The hypocrisy is delicious. You don't even have to meme progressives, they do it themselves.
In the same category, we've got the male feminists who turn out to be harassers or rapists.

Personally, I just enjoy the show! I'm looking forward to the day the whole thing finally collapses.

Much as I don't condone whoever's doing that, I think your behaviour is as childish as theirs.
You speak your mind on this forum (which is fine by me) and then get upset when you get a bad reaction. People have the right to react that way.

It's like when Netflix got rid of the star-based rating system because Amy Schumer's special was getting pummelled by "far-right sexist trolls"! And much recently they removed all comments because some progressive shows had bad reviews.
I could also mention feminist youtubers like Anita Sarkeesian who block their comment section but I don't have all day.

If you actually believe in what you say, stand tall and let people react the way they want however childish it is. You don't need to show them how triggered you got by their actions. Be the bigger person not the censor!

@raphjd:

Are you saying that unless I blindly donate, then I'm being bad?!     I never, ever donate unless I know where the money goes.    I don't want my money going to groups/causes that work against me.

First, I was talking about people in general (which includes you obviously) but "unless I blindly donate, then I'm being bad?!" where did you get that from!? It's the exact opposite of what I said. You SHOULD know and care about where your money is going!

@raphjd:

Their "preference" is to take money from whites and not doing anything to help whites,

Apple is a for-profit company.

@raphjd:

except that one time they were being self-serving when they donated that pittance to the forest fire in their area.

Apple is a for-profit company.
I'm starting to sound like a broken record.

@raphjd:

Odd that you bring up "equality of outcome" while we're talking about a leftist company like Apple.

You're finally getting the irony of your whole argument, I'm glad I could make that clear for you.

@raphjd:

Then again, leftists hate whites as we constantly see.

And still, you've shown no evidence of it so far…

@raphjd:

Would you be still as "they're not racist" if Apple only gave to whites?

I still wouldn't care and definitely wouldn't call it racist. I just don't like to trivialise such a word. But obviously it's not a problem for you.

@raphjd:

As you scroll down the Apple Product RED page, it's a bit odd that they only tell the truth at the very bottom.

All through the page, they promote it in a neutral non-specific way.

Why are they doing this?

A storm in a teacup…

@raphjd:

Why not be honest from the very beginning of the page, in the first bit?

If you're too lazy to read to the bottom, there's no hope for you and I don't care.
Also it means that you're not donating for good reasons if you're not curious enough to find where your money is going…

@raphjd:

BTW, I know that SPLC has targetted non-whites with their BS.

I thought you'd say they're guilty by association. Very common SJW behaviour.

@raphjd:

The point I was making is that most of their "donations" in the west are to leftist groups, with only a tiny portion actual humanitarian issues.

No, your point is that they're racist and you use their preference as "evidence".

Do you really think that every single country is entitled to Apple's money? Because in that case, it'd be logical to call Apple racist. But now you have another problem: your premise is faulty.
And I think we finally got to the core of this whole thread: You think there should be equality (of outcome) in donations.

@raphjd:

Excluding the one-off donation for the forest fire in their area,
[…]
They do give for hurricane relief

When reality inconveniences you, you may as well ignore it!

@raphjd:

they only give to leftist hate groups like SPLC.

The only conclusion you can draw from it is that they're biased.
Duh!! Of course they are.
FYI, the SPLC has called non-white people hateful or bigoted (or any other buzz words they like) such as Maajid Nawaz, Ben Carson or Ayaan Hirsi Ali (she's a heroine in my opinion!)

@raphjd:

Sandra Bullock (one of many celebs) gives more to actual charities than Apple.

I didn't know it was a competition… to know who's the purest or least mingy!? I don't know, you tell me! I couldn't care less.

@raphjd:

They do give for hurricane relief, but they give to Haiti, not the US and other western countries.

This is my favourite sentence, I love it! You sound so much like a social justice warrior/far-leftist!
If we follow your logic that means that if you don't have a friend of each and every single ethnicity that means you're racist. If you don't date people of a certain race you're racist against that group of people.
Because we all know that everyone is entitled to love, just like every country is entitled to Apple's "benevolence".  :funny2:

@raphjd:

They are completely dishonest about RED and bury the truth in the small print.

See pictures attached.

@raphjd:

Ok, let's try this again.

You can twist words, read into vague claims and rephrase sentences all you want but it won't change the fact that you're either wrong or you don't have enough evidence (not that you've shown any) to prove your point!
Your premise is faulty and your conclusions misguided, to put it gently.

So it boils down to you being mad because Apple doesn't give money to the charities you like or the amount of money you want them to.
Apple has never stated that they'd give X% of the benefits each year to charities.
Also, let me remind you that Apple is a for-profit company and if you think they're donating out of pure benevolence, you need to learn a few things about PR and business.

So unless it's illegal, I don't understand your complaint and still don't see the racism in all of it.
You still haven't shown EVIDENCE of racism, just crazy conjectures and very common misleading* marketing tactics!

misleading: not precise enough but not a lie.

@raphjd:

AGAIN, Apple isn't donating to the other charities.   They are only facilitating the ability for others to donate through Apple Pay, the App Store, and Itunes.

Excerpt from one of the links I gave:

Apple has announced that it will be donating $1 million to aid recovery and rebuilding efforts in Southern California
