Comment on 'Alarming': 9-year-old girl attacked at school for 'not being Muslim' | WND | by Bob Unruh

  The fact that you actually responded with this tells me you _still _ can’t see past your own privilege to recognize my point was comparing Muslims to White Supremacists is an apples and oranges comparison unless you can show that there is a portion of white supremacists that, like Muslims who do not interpret their faith’s message to justify violence, do not interpret white supremacy as a justification for racism.

  I’ll take that to mean that you concede that a good white supremists would not make white supremists less dangerous to society.

  The whole point of comparing things is to highlight how they are different and the same. Apples and oranges are fruits… see different things can be compared.

  You either can’t understand why that’s a dumb comparison, or you’re refusing to admit it’s a dumb comparison. Either way it’s what’s causing us to keep this thread going. It’ll stop when you want it to.

  I asked a question about how you treat other rare occurrences, you falling for the propaganda seems to be the answer.

  the entirety of western society and the way it operates has roots in racism and white supremacy. White supremacy is a form of racism. I’ve already spelled this out multiple times and there is no way to be clearer about it. I’m beginning to think you’re just not capable of understanding.

  What does that have to do with white supremacy being prevalent now? Does that mean I can judge current Muslims by what Muslims did in the past?

  gestures wildly at modern society

  But can’t provide examples.

  Defend your comment, then I’ll defend mine. Otherwise it’s just obvious you didn’t have a follow up and are just trying to claim superiority in this thread. Not gonna happen without backing up your statement.

  I have backed up my statement a good white supremists doesn’t make any acts by white supremists less rare. The “good guys” are not important when looking at bad things.

    Prove it, give me an example of what a “good” white supremacist is.

    Now you’re focusing on the semantics of an idiom which means “comparing that which cannot be practically compared” (source) rather than provide anything substantial that can lead me to agree with you. Congratulations, you failed at making your point again.

    I asked a question about how you treat other rare occurrences, you falling for the propaganda seems to be the answer.

    Because white supremacy is a form of racism, and racism is anything but “rare”, I once again state it’s a dumb comparison. You don’t need propaganda to think that because it’s the truth.

    What does that have to do with white supremacy being prevalent now? Does that mean I can judge current Muslims by what Muslims did in the past?

    That viewpoint could be entertained if you can speak at all to the prevalence of ramifications that past had, sure. But you can’t even back up your first comment in this thread so I highly doubt you’ll be able to form this one coherently.

    But can’t provide examples.

    Because society is the example.

    Here are a few specifics though, if you insist:

    • The British Royal Empire and impact on the slave trade

    • Slave migrations to the New World

    • Trail of tears

    All rooted in white supremacy, all resulted in complete or partial genocides, all formed the basic of modern western society which still tends to treat people differently due to race/ethnicity.

    This is where I would provide current stats such as how hard it is for Black Women to receive appropriate healthcare, or how people of color are less likely to get a home loan compared to white people in the same economic class. I will be happy to provide those, but first I want you to respond in kind with proof of your first comment that there is such a thing as a “good” white supremacist.

    I have backed up my statement a good white supremists doesn’t make any acts by white supremists less rare. The “good guys” are not important when looking at bad things.

    You haven’t backed up shit because you haven’t given an example of what a “good” white supremacist is.

      You still don’t get it, what would one good white supremists change? With one good white supremists would they become less of a threat? If a group has 10 murders in it does the group become less dangerous if the 11th is not a murderer?

      Now you’re focusing on the semantics of an idiom which means “comparing that which cannot be practically compared” (source) rather than provide anything substantial that can lead me to agree with you. Congratulations, you failed at making your point again.

      How about this. What makes the rarity of white supremists instances of violence incomparable to the rarity of Muslim instances of violence?

      Because society is the example.

      Here are a few specifics though, if you insist:

      The British Royal Empire and impact on the slave trade

      Slave migrations to the New World

      Trail of tears

      All rooted in white supremacy, all resulted in complete or partial genocides, all formed the basis of modern western society which still tends to treat people differently due to race/ethnicity.

      You forgot that they all happened a long time ago. How does the trail of tears, slave trade, make white supremacy a danger today?

      I want you to respond in kind with proof of your first comment that there is such a thing as a “good” white supremacist.

      I’ve never made this claim, it’s a flat out falsehood on your part. I assume it’s because your whole argument hinges on this lie.

      You haven’t backed up shit because you haven’t given an example of what a “good” white supremacist is.

      I don’t have to, the rarity of bad people doing bad things in not affected by a good person being part of that group.

        I can’t argue with someone who steps into a thread, tries to make a comparison, then refuses to provide a single example of why their comparison is right, then goes on to continually project that they’re the correct and rational one while it’s the other one that’s refusing to do those things.

        I’m simply asking you to go first, since you’re the one that made the comparison. That’s all.

        If you can’t do that then why are you even here if not to just project and troll?
