Turned into a weird thread.

Is it possible to be a conservative liberal and despise our current leadership or lack of.

Isn’t calling someone “Brown” or referring to them as “ Brown” racist?

You can't be a conservative Liberal today with the rampant dogma and groupthink running in that party.

You can be a Red Tory though. Interesting that they have become the big tent party.

It's not racist to describe people by an observable adjective.

I’m happy to say “non-white” if that’s preferable to you, and it’s more accurate anyway.

It can be. If skin colour or the heritage of someone is introduced when it doesn’t contribute to understanding the situation, it shows bias that most people would view as racism.

Police describing the skin colour of a car jacker suspect they were looking for. Okay because they have a reason to identify the individual.

Press using skin colour while describing the car jacking. Not okay as skin colour is not needed to accurately describe what happened.

This is where the frustration kicks in.

Many people are confusing politically correct with racism. When a whole subject matter can not discussed because it is not PC to do so. if someone is well meaning, caring and accurate it doesn’t matter. It still can’t be said. Someone will call you a racist even though your intent is anything but. Your not a racist, it’s just not politically correct to talk about, and the racist card will shut you up.

Unjustly accusing someone of racism is just as bad as being racist. However currently it doesn’t have a PC stigma to it. In fact it has become a tool to just shut people up when they don’t like the subject.

If you go back and read Rockies comments that took this thread of course. He not only implied someone was white for no reason. He also implied they were racist with no evidence whatsoever. He displayed a predetermined bias toward this individual, which is the basis of racism.

Which should stir anger. And it did.

Fanblade can’t read this because he’s hiding from what I say, but “ Not for the illegal invaders , they all win the jackpot” is not non-PC. It’s racist.

Racists and assholes love to cover themselves with the non-PC label but underneath they’re simply racists and assholes. Non-PC to say that I know. I truly thought they would appreciate the honesty. You know...“telling it like it is” and all that.

You communists like to make up lies and claim that you are good people. However you are the supporters of ANTIFA and BLM that are beating up 75 year old women in the streets , murdering four year old children in the streets , burning down cities and looting on in the name of Social Justice.

FYI , illegal immigration is non specific to a race , gender , age , religion . You make up lies to push your acceptance of criminal behavior. No wonder people want to block you and hide from your perverted view of the World. :twisted:

Get off your high horse. Rockie simply responded to a dumb-ass comment from a poster who was trying to be cute by playing the race card and hoping nobody would call him on it:

I’ve voted both liberal and conservative. Pretty sure you can be in the middle. But I agree with you. I’d vote for anyone but our current leadership.

Second point. It’s ok for me to say “hey brown guy, ya I’m talking to you brown guy” because I observed they’re brown? Try that with my wife and see what happens!

I find it ironic the original poster accusing others of being racists literally has the only racist comment so far. We’re in Canada. We’re all the same. Ask black face. He’ll tell you.

So you also support criminal activity. No wonder society is breaking down and police and being murdered in the streets. Law and order is not one of your strengths, comrade.

Turn off your computer. Go for a walk in the woods to smell flowers and watch birds. Talk to normal people about mundane every day stuff. Read a real newspaper. Get therapy.

“Tinfoil hat” is the colloquial name for the hat, not the material it’s made of. Here’s a handy reference to help you construct one. You REALLY need it.

Possibly. On the other hand, based on your own posting history here, it really isn't clear what you studied. It clearly wasn't English. Or political science. Or Law. Or history. Or philosophy. Or common sense. I'm guessing it probably wasn't aviation either.

Tsk, tsk now. Not sure where you got the idea I work as a lineman anywhere - I don't, although I think it'd be an OK job and I have met some pretty capable line folks at various airports over the years. However: your logical and writing skills suggest that you're a complete idiot, and I seriously doubt you've got the aptitude or skills to be a lineman anywhere - which, again, explains why you're still living in your parents' basement.

Maybe you should just stick to tinfoil hats and flight sims, so there's less chance of hurting yourself.

I think people who wear blackface are racists. What do you think Rockie.

We all know what a bunch of frauds people like you are. You look the other way when people on the left do things like that but when someone whose political ideas you don't like says something very minor, you throw out your disgusting racism Pretend-I-Care agenda to further your political goals.

There’s thoughtless racial insensitivity that decent people apologize for, and there’s blind, hostile racism that asshole shitheads nurture with active hatred.

Nice try though.

By the way, the right’s messiah last week endorsed police murder as justifiable retribution. His words. Got any idle thoughts about that?

The communists are full of hatred and project their own racism into any argument that they cannot win. It's scum , like that , that have destroyed the once great nation of Venezuela and they won't be happy until Canada is the same. Cursing , lies , propaganda and hatred is all that these communist thugs have. That's why they support the violent terrorist groups like ANTIFA. They support late term abortions where live babies are murdered and they organs are sold. Real sweet human beings , NOT !
