That's only true for men if thy are tall, white, fit, and attractive though.

DAAAMMMNNNN, I fucking applaud this. Perfect shade to harsh ratio.

Sorry man, I was abut over the line calling you construction buddha.

You're stretching now! Get those arms and legs limber

I get out plenty for weekends and have enough stamina at my age to be social and do the things I want while working those extra hours. I'm not so keen on management either Construction Buddha.

Unfashionable things do get less attention though, don't they. Unfashionable things are also considered less important. You're finally getting it!!!

Yet you don't seem to have reading comprehension. He said this to illustrate that racism is waning so that he could declare homophobia the "new racism." Now, what connotations does "new" have?

Gah! I thought you were going to pontificate about my annoying English. I'm an engineer and I get outside plenty.

That it's not gone absolutely wasn't his point.

What are the confusing parts, Ser Enlightened Construction Worker? (I think you stole your identity from Office Space.)

My point isn't to say "blacks have it worse than gays," it's to say that homophobia isn't the new racism. Racism is the same old shitty racism. Homophobia and racism can exist at the same time, there is no reason for one to cover the other like "new" suggests.

Then you should spend less time finding clever things to post, and more time on forming your own arguments.

Not at all. My only issue is referring to anything as the "new racism." Hell, the gays may even have it worse nowadays, but I will only accept something being called the "new racism" when the "old racism" is actually gone. Until then, it's a reductive and shitty thing to say

If you want to get into then where did I go wrong, big shot. It's easy just to check down the cliche rebuttal list: you need better reading comprehension, learn to form your own arguments, don't be so emotional, ad hominem blah blah blah. If you want a detailed, well-formed argument then start making some.

I think I already did.

It's not a twist on an English colloquialism, that is just a way to defend your shitty statement. You could have said, "homophobia is the new black" or any number of things if you had intended that. You very plainly said that homophobia is the new racism and no bullshit retcon is going to convince anybody that you…

Ehh fuck off, that huge image below honestly was trolling, but this is a legitimate problem I have with what uncreative said.

What, being a huge homophobe is a socially unacceptable. See: the topic of their discussion which is:: a guy getting fined/fired for commenting negatively on a gay man. I don't have a problem with homosexuality but I am fucking tired of people calling it the new racism. Racism still fucking exists, homophobia is…

You know, they aren't the same thing at all though. Racism is one thing and homophobia is another thing and even though they are related they aren't the same thing. Saying "new racism" over shadows the prejudice against blacks as old news or as over or as less significant. It happens all of the time and it is really…

Because the old racism is gone, right? Shut the fuck up, they aren't comparable and they don't need to be. Only a privileged white asshole would say something like that.
