Texas and secession

[go2church]

Officially in the ranks?

You have the ability to make that official...wouldn't that make you like the chief, vice-president, executive (whatever the term) race monger?

I mean unless you don't actually have such grand authority and you're just aggravated I didn't capitulate to your outdated mode of thinking and are only left with name calling, insults and slurs

Looky there, you've come full circle! What is it you said...big day for you :applause:

Nope. You did it all by yourself.

Congratulations. Now you can lie in wait for your next victim to slur as a racist. The facts don't matter. Just so long as your get your slur in. Any imagined racist comment will do.

 

[go2church]

Not imagined, wetback, is racist. Obfuscate all you want, doesn't change it. Perhaps in your world using such language is no big deal, but it is a big deal and shouldn't be used. There is no defense for its usage.

I don't know if Alcott is a racist or not, I didn't say Alcott was a racist, but I know the comment Alcott made used a racist term. Put me in whatever category you want, you fancy yourself an expert on such things, not going to make you right.

No. It's not , but any excuse to slur someone as a racist will do , won't it.

That's the way race baiters work.

 

[OldRegular]

You know, most of the other wetbacks don't look like that guy in the picture.

Well said. The country is being invaded by people from south of the border and the taxpayer is footing the bill.

I did not know that tax money is being sent to Central America and Mexico to help people immigrate to the US. :laugh:

 

[targus]

Try to become more informed. It's called the DHS Family Reunification Program.

Now you can stop the insipid laughing.

This is about the most pathetic thread I have ever seen especially in a Christian forum. There is no excuse for using or defending the use of derogatory remarks against a group of people whether it is race, color, creed or national origin. Reminds me of the cultural garbage I grew up in during the 50s and 60s in Mississippi. You guys must be experts at the Second Great Commandment.

The thing about this is go2chuch's point--go into the Hispanic community and ask them if the term is a bigoted slur. Of course they would say it was so. The point is, we don't get to decide if it's offensive or not, rather, Hispanics get to decide.

Same thing applies to the name of the NFL team in Washington DC, we don't get to decide if it's offensive or not.

Bingo. Well said.

I wish this site had a Face Palm smiley-guy. It would aptly describe this thread.

Whether or not it's offensive is not being debated.

But it's not racist. Can't be. There is no hispanic race.

End of story.

I guess it worked after all

Alright; this whole thread then is based on the racist slur against Texans with that silly cartoon.

Wow...just....wow. I've said it before and I'll say it again. God bless Texas. The cartoon is making fun of a political ideology.

According to some, "making fun" is slurring, and "racist" can be applied to anything as long as it slurs the one being condemned.

Nope, try again

Getting back to Texas and secession, if they did secede, then a lot of the tax money that would have been going to D.C. could stay instate for things such as disaster relief.

You realize that money would be worthless as a blockade would immediately be set up. Nothing by air, sea or highway would get into or out of Texas. All Texas assets in banks outside of Texas would be frozen. It would be economic disaster for Texas and Texans.
