In other words there's nothing to attack the ACLU on other than the Constitution's divergence from your personal preferences, when you have to actually think about it instead of just setting out shallow knee-jerk party-line pronouncements.
That's okay.
You simply have an aversion to answering questions, because you're weak on making your case. I asked you first, so respond and then I'll respond in kind. Simple. I have much to say about the ACLU.
Is anyone else sick of threads like the 30 anti haiti threads?
like the does anyone celebrate MLK?
like the are blacks less intelligent?
like all the endless threads put on here to be racially divisive?
Its the same thing over and over again. Isn't there slightly more important things happening in the world? like suffering, violence, hunger, genocide etc etc etc?
The constant race bashing gets old quick. along wit the blaming of liberals for supporting the idea of helping less fortunate people.
I wonder what it would take to wake some thread posters from their narcissistic trance. They are so vulnerable from the slightest criticism.
What kind of snake oil am I selling? I am pretty sure I merely wanted to lay the scientific basis for racial differences, based on a model of the length of time Africans, Asians, and Europeans were separated vs the length of time Neanderthals were separated from humans. Then prove these differences with obvious physiological differences, and hormone level variations, and mental capacity tendencies by each race.
If you don't want to listen to scientific facts, then you don't have to. But thats just you being stubborn, because you don't want to hear the truth. Because the truth doesn't fit into your perfect world where everyone is equal and happy.
Look around you, do you really believe people are equal? My oldest sister is far more intelligent than I am. That isn't my fault, that isn't my mothers fault, that isn't anyones fault. I just wasn't dealt the best hand. To try to patronize me by making up some ridiculous idea that me and my sister are somehow equal, is just dishonest.
Don't tell the Eskimos that if they try hard that they can be great basketball players. They have limitations, be honest. We should steer them down a path where they can succeed. But instead, we try to tell them they are equal, and we guarantee them a spot on the Basketball team through affirmative action. Which makes the whole damn league look ridiculous(of course this doesn't happen, but that is basically what affirmative action does in the workplace).

We definitely need a racial subcategory because these threads are clogging up the Politics and Other Controversies main page and many, if not most, CD posters are sick of seeing this crap. One of the reasons why I don't post as much as before is that I cannot tolerate the obvious agenda that some posters seem to have when they post their "scientific BS" to prove that whites are somehow the superior race. It would be nice if these folks would go back to stormfront or wherever and leave the rest of us alone.

I don't necessarily like seeing these posts either. But who implied that whites are superior? You manufactured that on your own, because you believe that anytime someone says that we aren't equal. Then that implies one person is greater.
Men and women aren't equal, but no one is saying that men are superior to women, or vice versa. Equality is in the eyes of the beholder.
Chatteress and everyone else who suggested it...Yes, we definitely need a racial subcategory. I'm tired of seeing all this crap infect many threads throughout the forum!
"Anti-Semitism will be a psychological phenomenon as long as Jews come in contact with non-Jews—what harm can there be in that? Perhaps it is due to anti-Semitism that we survive as a race: at least that is what I believe."—Albert Einstein
"The way I see it, the fact of the Jews' racial peculiarity will necessarily influence their social relations with non-Jews. The conclusions which—in my opinion—the Jews should draw is to become more aware of their peculiarity in their social way of life and to recognize their own cultural contributions. First of all, they would have to show a certain noble reservedness and not be so eager to mix socially—of which others want little or nothing. On the other hand, anti-Semitism in Germany also has consequences that, from a Jewish point of view, should be welcomed. I believe German Jewry owes its continued existence to anti-Semitism."—Albert Einstein
"The formation of groups has an invigorating effect in all spheres of human striving, perhaps mostly due to the struggle between the convictions and aims represented by the different groups. The Jews, too, form such a group with a definite character of its own, and anti-Semitism is nothing but the antagonistic attitude produced in the non-Jews by the Jewish group. This is a normal social reaction. But for the political abuse resulting from it, it might never have been designated by a special name."—Albert Einstein
I think a race sub-category would be an invitation to Stormfront members to come and have cyber smack-downs with actual blacks. Lets face it most of these threads are anti-minority subjects or to be specific anti-black. A forum on Anthropology or Sociology where ethnic groups could be discussed in the context of an academic field would keep it worth visiting.
I have posted on this topic so I went back to the original post, because I didn't recall it. I did so in some confusion observing a few comments and not recalling the original post. It's a post based upon a negative and asking a question in the negative. When one does that you open the door to a wide discussion for every subject you denote in that post as you go about making examples of negatives. I've underelined all the potentials for not keeping 'on-topic'.

My point being that you cannot open up with so many references and then rail at any given comments/discussion about any of these subjects.
Why not have simply made the first post... "Is anyone here as sick of all the anti-Haiti bashing as I am?"
You may think that to be nitpicking, but it's merely trying to be practical and contain the breadth of discussion to a single subject, that's all. I got into it with delusianne on a diverted subject myself and only realized it when I backchecked the original posted comment just now.
I found that Charley Rose/Thomas Sowell video very interesting and thought to comment upon it and that was why I backchecked the original post. Having read it I've withheld commenting on that which is really "off-topic".

Absolutely!!! I had no idea about all these race-baiting, race-bashing threads until recently. I mostly post in the music forum. But, I will follow the posts of people whose messages are of interest to me, so I wander frequently now. I consider myself quite worldly, but I must be living above a rock because I had never heard of Storm Front. Had to look it up. I don't remember which poster said this, and my multi-quote feature does not work anyway, so the gist was that apparently many Storm Front posters and followers also post to this site. I believe it! I don't care what you call it...racism, racialist(???) or racialism(???); whatever, and I don't care whether you post a Confederate battle flag or scientific facts and figures from Einstein, it's all the same crap! If I'm wrong, then tell me what point it is you people are trying to make that post this hooey. Spell it out for all of us. Quit beating around the bush! It's my thought that some people around here are dragging more than canoes.
LBNL-Regarding (???)...I am not looking for a definition. I know how to use a dictionary, thanks.
