US is almost down to Russia levels, behind China in global leadership poll

That wasn't a complaint, it was a statement of fact. I'm not complaining because when someone calls me a racist for my beliefs that aren't racist in any way, I know I've already won the argument. And you're the one who dismissed the argument about identity politics because a google search of Cory Booker doesn't bring up any instance of him mentioning white guilt as if I said that was a requirement for not being called a racist. Now I'm moving the goalposts. got it.

"And if you don't believe those things, you're a racist xenophobe - you're now the Nazi who must be defeated."


That's a statement of fact?

Here is another fine example of a virtue singling lefty identity politics, bunch of horeshit

yeah, it's a fact that people who believe those things by and large believe people who don't are racist. Just ask MC or vic. Actually, as I recall, you tried to pull that crap with me in one of the bias discussions awhile back.

I don't think you recall correctly.

I've made about half of what I post. But I do have a giant folder full of them.

The one you quoted, I actually have a custom one for LKP made that involves the Lions. I was told by a mod not to use it though so it's being saved for a time I don't mind a temporary ban and he drives me crazy enough.

I think I know the one you are talking about...does it involve a noose?

and if I'm not willing to scour thousands of posts on hundreds of threads, then it never happened right? you pulled the racist card, I called you out on it. If you're denying that happened, I don't really care - it doesn't matter enough to me to spend the time proving it.

Bing searches this site. That's how I dig up old posts. add "site:www.detroitsportsforum.com" to your search.

No but you just gave me a great idea.

and then search for what? "gulo insinuates spartanmack is racist" - I don't think that's going to help.

I'd start with just "gulo spartanmack racist". If there's anything you remember more specific that might be on that page, add it. Try racism or race instead of racist. Maybe race card if you think you called me out like that.

as I recall, I don't think you used the word "racist" but you made it obvious what you were implying - it was the basic trope your boy turd relies so heavily on "you have to be racist to disagree with this." I'm not going waste my time looking for it. This is just another nit picking tactic to discredit the larger point without actually addressing it - it's as if you think if I can't prove you accused me of racism, then I'm wrong about my larger points here.

Now we're talking about an implication. That makes more sense. You have misinterpreted what I've implied many times. It's almost a rule of this message board that when I see "you say" or "you claim" in a post, that's the beginning of an incorrect sentence.



Forget nit picking. The spirit of what you've accused me of is calling you a racist for something like not buying into ideas of white guilt or basing virtue on immutable characteristics like race and gender. Wherever you got this idea about what I implied, it wouldn't have been anything remotely like that.


The time or times it's seemed to me that you've been getting touchy about race have been when you're trying to explain why discrimination is less of a factor than life choices and culture when trying to explain wealth inequality.

That's an awful lot of speculation about something you don't remember. It was an implication I called you out for and you didn't deny. And it was not in the context of white guilt or virtue signaling.

I'm not touchy about it, I just reject the implication that I'm racist because I don't agree with you or anyone else on whatever issue you're trying to blame racism.
