Good job guys. You made my point. 13 down votes and 0 rebuttals. No mind control here. Just free thinkers.


seriously?
and this made sense when you were typing?
did it ever occur to you...even for a second..that you were being an asshole?

dude.
are you even aware of how contradictory your arguments have been of late?


Contradictory like: "[strawmen arguments] is all i have seen you post ... you make some salient points"?

But evidently I'm the one that's oblivious. So please do tell.

>> ^enoch:
and the irony of calling people out for using strawmen arguments when that is all i have seen you post?


Wrong thread pal. But again, please do tell.
>> ^enoch:

i write this with all sincerity and humility because i feel your heart is in the right place,but man..your arguments are conflations smashed with contradictions.
you make some salient points and then confuse your entire premise with smashing them with red herrings and gobldegook rhetoric.
stay on point brother,
and disagreeing with DFT is fine but questioning his intellect or sanity is a step i would recommend against.
he does not suffer fools lightly and your arguments have left you wide open for a smack down.
just my friendly two cents.


I don't know what a "conflation smashed with contradictions" is, but I would suspect your post is a lot closer than anything I've posted here.

Seriously I appreciate the concern and the Bible reference about suffering fools, but I hope that's not a swipe my intellect or sanity. For that would subvert your whole neutral status, now wouldn't it?

Go back to mindless cheerleading and let DFT fight his own battles. Or rather, babble ad hominem static in-between championing Wall Street agendas.


@marbles
did you just bullet response my comment?
/chuckles
awesome.
ok...whatever man.
and by what means did you derive my intentions?
crystal ball? voodoo?
you got me wrong scooter.
you aint got the first clue who i am.
my comment and intentions were sincere.YOU projected your own bullshit which had nothing to do with me.
any inclination i may have had to elucidate further on some of my points has evaporated due to your own feeble understandings of who i am.
so you go right ahead and believe whatever bullshit you want to believe concerning me based on nothing but your own limited perceptions.
because frankly...i dont give a shit.

The David Kelly case truly was a fishy thing, I'll give you that.

Beware what you say @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/marbles" title="member since May 7th, 2011" class="profilelink">marbles, Her Majesty's Imperial Stazi are sure to come after you and have you locked away in the the London Tower. Or worse, have you participate in the next royal wedding!


Yeah, that's what happens to people that talk. Just ask David Kelly.

Said black man is indeed pissed off at the racism that runs rampant and unchecked on this site. I don't condone his actions in instabanning -- I fully support, share and understand his anger however.
The rest of your comment to me is more of the stupid, insensitive, immature, asshole douchery that I fucking hate on this site and ignore as best I can.
As I said before, I am not interested in continuing this conversation. I have seen enough of this stupid, insensitive, immature asshole douchery to know that it isn't going to end, that you have no intention of having an adult exchange, that your sole purpose is to be stupid, insensitive, immature and an asshole douche.
I will not respond to anything else you write me on this topic.
I look forward to reading other comments you make around the Sift -- I am sure I have upvoted some here and there. I look forward to reading other posts with pleasure.

Given that said black man is immature and has a racial chip on his shoulder, I would venture to say that gives your argument even less credence.
So how do you know bk33 isn't a black man?
In reply to this comment by bareboards2:
Given that a black man read bk33 comment and instabanned him because he was so enraged, I would venture to say that I am right and you are wrong.
I can tell that this conversation has already devolved into an ugliness that I don't enjoy. So I'm done here.



Why do you insist on talking out both sides of your mouth? Why respond in the first place if you can't articulate your position? What makes the original comment racist? You still haven't explained that.

While you're at it, maybe you can explain how asking: So how do you know bk33 isn't a black man? is "stupid, insensitive, immature, asshole douchery". And what does that make your first response: A black man "was so enraged [...] I'm done here."

You've failed to answer every single question I proposed yet I'm the one with "no intention of having an adult exchange".

So keep crying about nothing. Stay trapped in your imaginary world where the black man has to endure rampant unchecked racism on videosift and where passive aggressive nonsense will save the day.

@marbles, you asked why it was a racist comment. Did you read this? Come ask me questions on my profile page if this isn't clear?

Here's the racist's mindset -- I know this, because I recently spent an appalling three days with my racist uncle in Oklahoma:
If a black person does something bad, then all black people are presumed to be bad. If a white person does something bad, then it is just a white person doing something bad.
When bobk made his comment, he was looking at a group of law breakers and extrapolated their behavior onto an entire population, based on the color of their skin, using a word that has been employed by whites to dehumanize and denigrate.
What bobk said was probably the most deeply offensive racist comment I have read here on the Sift. The fact that this is being discussed as an intellectual word problem really bothers me, smooman. The fact that he didn't get banned for a week or two really bothers me, dag.


"he was looking at a group of law breakers and extrapolated their behavior onto an entire population, based on the color of their skin" = racial stereotype

Does that make it racist? (ignore the fact that for a ban the post is suppose to be "blatantly racist")

Or is it "a word that has been employed by whites to dehumanize and denigrate" that makes it racist? A word he didn't even use btw.

What if he said:
"And you wonder why blacks are still called a word that has been employed by whites to dehumanize and denigrate."

Is that racist???

Your flimsy definition of what racism is an insult to those who really were dehumanized and denigrated because of their skin color.
