ChicagoFigure said:
U mean like 2 or 3 posters vs the whole board? U gonna really front like the criticism is evenly distributed? I didn't just sign up yesterday

So u admit I'm consistent? Thanks

Did I say it was even? No. I said there's more than you are aware of because it involves the one thing you try to ignore. Which is race.

Yup and you're leaving out that I admitted being wrong multiple times as well....bc I know I can be.

Debate and push back would shut me up quicker than personal attacks and wanting so desperately to make me out to be a racist or trump supporter (not saying this is u specifically).

Otherwise hit ignore or we can keep dancing like this every few weeks..makes no diff to me

Well you quite boldly stated you believe everything you say. So that would include the things you're wrong about. Im making an observation and that is when it comes to how race affects the issues you love to be contrarion about you're not very good at it. And on a board where it's majority Black you often seem to forget that's the pov alot of things are viewed under. So sometimes instead of being so quick to want to offer an other side point it would probably aid you to sit back and consider if your pov is actually being skewed because you white. Im not trying to out you as a racist but I do think your ignorance and willful attempts to move past race in discussions is pretty telling on your inability to consider other povs outside your own

You're being dense on purpose now. Ppl knocking me bc I'm biased toward criticizing Dems more than Republicans. I'm pointing out the board does the same thing in reverse while most claim to not even be Dems. I'm aware there is pushback against the Dems. I'm also aware that the pushback against the Dems is infinitesimal compared to the pushback against Republicans. I don't even think u can objectively disagree with that with a straight face.

Yes and if I admit I'm wrong about something, I now believe that I was wrong, I don't continue believing the thing I admit I was wrong about. This probably makes a good case that I do consider other povs.

And im saying that there has been plenty of criticism of Dems and the left. They just come in issues and topics you don't recognize and/or partake in. Saying that isn't being dense it's acknowledging that you as a white person will miss things being discussed because they're being discussed through a lens you can't see through. Im giving you a logical out. But you're being so defensive you can't see it.

I don't need an out. I just disagree.

So let me get this straight. You disagree that you as a white person could potentially be missing how somethings amongst the Black community are discussed and how they relate to criticism of Democrats? That makes sense to you?

No. I disagree that "plenty criticism of the Dems and the left" no matter the topic (your example being race) compares at all to the criticism of Republicans and the right.

This is not a big deal to me, but I'm only pointing it out bc u guys fail by the same metric and logic u use against me.

And u know how much I like pointing out hypocrisy.

String brought up Obama asking how is he considered part of the establishment

Edit: technically it kicked off between string and mike concerning Hillary
