Huffs paint? (Probably) Check. Maniacal bloodlust? Check. Blind, thoughtless devotion to a person/cause that doesn't deserve it, and will throw him to the wolves the first chance they get? Check….

Except with all of the humor and none of the racism or stupidity.

Threats of violence? Check. Poor grammar and punctuation? Check. Insults? Check. Total lack of any kind of rational argument or substance? Check.

I had a similar problem, right before tickets went on sale there was a nest of spider eggs that hatched in the bathtub and I had to flush them all down the plughole.

When I was about 13, I had a harrowing experience involving homemade "fireworks", a few bored friends, and an unsuspecting neighbor's gutter downspout. A substantial hunk of metal embedded itself into a tree trunk which was disconcertingly close to my face. We heard it smack the tree, and found it buried deep enough

Dude, a lot of women prize confidence, intelligence, and wit over attractiveness and fitness. If you have one or more of those things and you're not a raging dickhead, she won't give a shit if you're the god-damn Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man after 5 minutes of conversation, and she won't be settling. She'll actually like

I'm not complicit in it. You have no idea what I do with my time - what do you do? Have you ever actually done anything? Have you ever been to a rally? Worked on a campaign? Defended someone from unjust criminal charges?

OH, and just to be clear, you're not a racist for pointing out that white privilege exists, because duh.

"getting stopped by a cop and not having to worry about getting shot isn't a benefit" etc

"white people are always the oppressor tho inasmuch as every white person benefits from racism"

Your point is getting through just fine. Your point is insane and wrong, that's why I'm not buying it.

Indeed, which is why I would not ever say that the racism of the first instance is equivalent to the institutional racism of the second.

Right? It's funny how one idiot makes it easy to forget that most of the discussions that we have are civil and reasonable.

*sigh*… you're right.

Racism against white people in America very rarely takes any form other than name-calling, which has no practical effect besides hurt feelings. This is true in most cases, but not all cases. There are many examples of some pretty bad shit happening to people for being the wrong color in the wrong place, even when

Yes indeed. But you made a claim that racism isn't real if it's against whites, which is a ridiculous, unfounded, and childish assertion and I just couldn't let it go without educating you.

I didn't say anything about America. America is not the only country in the world. Can you really be this ethnocentric?

There has been, throughout history, cases of institutional racism against white people, including slavery and segregated societies.

Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

Racism is prejudice against a group of people based on race. Institutional racism is when institutions and systems of power are imbalanced in favor of or against groups of people based on race. These are not difficult concepts.
