I don’t endorse Biden conspiracies, but still:

It’s strange and wrong that Biden hasn’t spoken given the historic magnitude of his announcement.

Having a President drop out by tweet and then disappear is bizarre.

If he’s well enough to decide, then he’s well enough to speak.

      “I don’t agree, so it must be racist,” seems to be your logic.

      That is why people are able to ignore real racistism and real hate crimes when every opinion or disagreement is labeled as racism and nothing is taken seriously anymore.

      FYI: The culture wars are just owner-class propaganda to divide the working class.

        No - assigning a specific set of qualities to any and all members of a group defined solely by race is racism. BY DEFINITION.

          Thanks for the definition.

          Using racist card for anything you disagree with does not work on the working class, it may work on forums though.

        What’s so fucking difficult about, “I’ll talk about this in a few days.”?

        Isn’t there a HighSchoolDrama community?

        What the fuck are you babbling about?

        “I’m not a racist but…” is just the more common and easily recognizable version of the same brand of bullshit in this article.

        They all boil down to the same thing - a rhetorical strategy by which dishonest people try to simultaneously say something and dodge responsibility for having said it.

        You seem hypersensitive about racism. Why is that?

          I did not bring it up randomly; the OG reply did.

          I am pointing out that it seems to be brought up a lot whenever they do not have anything to repond with or just to stop the dialogue, which in turn makes others ignore real racism and hate crimes when they do happen.

            Just a minimal amount of reading comprehension should have easily led you to understand that I was saying that “I don’t endorse Biden conspiracies but…” is just the same sort of bullshit as “I’m not a racist but…”

            But instead, you appear to have just seen the word “racist” and immediately launched into your obviously well-rehearsed “I don’t agree so it’s racist” strawman schtick.

            So with all due respect, it appears to me that actually you’re the one who does “not have anything to respond with” and wants “to stop the dialogue,” since your response was not only a strawman, but a red herring.
