I did a debate in HS on definition of racist. This was during X gen. Told them they couldn’t be racist because they “technically” were without the power of enforcement. Its just semantics. Wrong is wrong.

Did you really tell a high school debate audience that nothing they do could be considered racist because they don't have "the power of enforcement", whatever that means?

And how can you actually believe "wrong is wrong" if you think something being racist is conditional?

That was a very racist post.

I don’t care what your definition is.
That was the definition and summation at that time. It’s a mock debate like a lawyer. Now…. It comes down to power to enforce laws at ones discretion. You saw that wrong is wrong was stated but had the power to ignore context Example. Being in power on this site one can enforce at will regardless of facts. This is where accountability can come in or not

Are you saying that the only people who could be correctly accused of racism on this site are the mods?

sounds like the standard argument that you're only racist if you have the power to implement twisted in a different way

there are approximately 80 million people or 25 percent of our population on medicaid. Nothing wrong with doing a thorough audit and making sure they all need it. corruption will be found . I guarantee it.
Low fruit. Easy to pick on people stuck in neutral. Stop wars by not inflating the debt.

Is this unreasonable?


"Their proposal creates the appearance of generating substantial savings by nudging states to restrict enrollment — notably by mandating an 80-hour-per-month work requirement for able-bodied adults to receive the benefit."

That was the liberal definition at that time. Let's put it this way. If someone hates me because I'm white they are racist. If I I hate someone because of the color of their skin I'm racist. If I hate someone because of their actions and their skin color.is different than mine that doesn't make me a racist. If I assume because of the color of his skin that everyone with the same skin color would do the same actions I hate then I'm a racist. Want it simple? "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Let God worry about the rest.

so your argument would be what that its ok to scam our tax dollars if someone thinks they need to do so?

would you feel the same way if someone decided they deserved your car and stole it out of your driveway?
