She was basically complaining (Her, complain? I know I don't believe it either!) that white people have racism directed at them as if it's somehow comparable to the racism directed at minorities, which is pervasive and institutional as well as pointing out that non-whites can be racist too as if it's some profound revelation as opposed to so fucking obvious a 10 year old knows it. She follows it all up with a statement implying that racism against whites is so prevalent that "But then I'm white, so I must be wrong." is a valid statement for any white person to make ever, which it isn't.
I called her on it using the magic of sarcasm and snark, which went over the heads of Simon_Jester and Hammerwhatshisname, who promptly began white knighting for her. I'd argue with her about it because she made a statement in her defense but Das Thanasboot torpedoed me. Not that I want to get into a drawn out argument with that bloviating cunt anyway.

It usually is in my experience, but I'm from the south so I dealt with more racists on a daily basis than mosquitoes. I'm not very familiar with racistus midwestus twatus, so I can't be 100%, which is why I didn't flat out call her a racist.
So they see SPECIAL TREATMET or whatever and think hey I want some
But yknow racism by omission is still raism
Yeah, it usually is. When I hear white people bitch about "reverse racism" (any racism directed at whites) it makes my fucking blood boil for some reason. Racism isn't a one way street, but at the same time the racism directed at minorities is so much more malignant because it's institutional so for white people to complain about it being directed at them just boggles the mind.

The Midwestus Twatus genus of the racistus species often masks disdain for other races as an economic issue IE: "dem furriners took our jobs!" Disdain for black people is common, as the genus often develops a superiority complex when viewing the poverty-related problems of the worse midwestern cities such as Detroit or Chicago. Common among them is the belief that a much greater percentage of blacks are on welfare than whites. This genus is most typically found among those who did not start out with money, but managed to acquire at least some wealth over their working career. Examples include most types of industrial workers, mid level managers, and skilled tradesmen. The loss of their middle-class economic status can accelerate their slide into racism, as the perception of other races getting welfare handouts from the government while they suffer can cause animosity.
Yeah, I mean it's kinda rape, and it's kinda not, but it's definitely wrong, so let's agree to disagree for once instead of jerking off to our chosen terminology for violating a woman's vag.

they consent to it when they sign the form so it can't be rape

You could have edited out your entire message, but I guess the temptation to get in a last shot was too hard for you to resist, huh?
I don't give a crap about your apologies. I also fail to see how you could miss a comment that was posted over 2 hours before your posts. You get a warning for disobeying mod orders.
i often open threads and don't finish typing it for hours
sometimes phpbb says "there's a new post"
sometimes not (esp if you have other tabs open, it confuses it or something idk)
i'm inclined to take thanas' side here but i have some doubt

Jesus, just agree that it's wrong and move on. Stop arguing about an obsolete term.
Well, we do - once again - have terralthra being an idiot. I love how not calling a specific act of sexual assault rape is a sign of evil, but kiddie porn isn't.
