well you started this thread about me ( cmon you disguised it, but by the 2nd post you were evident in your motivations)
so you could "twist and shout" ( like that one? ) how out of touch and without gravitas my posts were..

Which I ignored, until Disfigured actually had something worthwhile to say.

I'm not gonna dance for you, and tear my heart out and say "see - it's pure", especially since - AS USUAL -
you are clueless on the nuances.

You simplified everything to claim that I declare there is no racism; which is absurd.
I was speaking about systemic institutional racism.
Not that there aren't individual case. can you gleam the diffferences.?

Pointing out voting pattern, once again shows you don't get the difference between geopgraphic/class cultural bias;
and oversighted institutional bias.

How many blacks/women can't get car loans?
How many blacks/women ge turned down for house loans?
simply because of their identity?

Why would bankers, dealers cut their own throat, and reduce their profit margins?
The dollar is almighty, and all of us will sell to anyone, if there is a buck to be made.

But please, don't let me destroy a good rant - carry on my wayward son.
suck in that wonderful self deluding PC "ism", which gives you that wonderful self satifsied moral superiority jolt.
I wouldn't want to deny your addicted aggrandizement.

as to your internet pop psychology, i'll leave you to work on my case study, so you have a shiney object to keep you occupied.
It is amusing psychobabble, and I'm always up for a good laugh.

I don't get nuances? And you do? Cosmo, you missed your calling, you should have been a clown in the circus tent. My reference to the MI voter caging scandal was meant to serve as an example of institutionalized racism. It's a form of racial profiling except that it aims to stop Black voters from doing something legal. The GOP has hijacked the voting commission and registration in the state and manipulated residency clauses for its own purposes. There is no precedent of checking off lists of home foreclosures against voter registration records. These people aren't looking for money you oaf, it's a question of being able to use their right to vote. I'd suggest you check out Eric's thread on this very topic, but you almost certainly will not. "PC" is not a magical term you can wrap around everything that you don't understand because you're too obtuse, Fool on the Hill.

well is it being exposed?
investigated?
is there oversight?

you can't stop all illegal activities, but ONCE AGAIN oversight is putting an end to it.


You "Won't Get Fooled Again" if the oversight, and exposure brings these aberrations to light.
These systematic abuses won't stand like they did in the past.

The New Boss is not the Same as the Old Boss.

do even know what the hell you're talking about? the republicans caging votes has been exposed and investigated time and time again, that's why they have been fined repeatedly for precisely the same activity in past elections...and no, oversight is not putting an end to it...and for fuck's sake, stop applying meaningless song lyrics to real issues that you don't even have a clue about...

You guys are tempting me to take this David Duke wannabe off ignore........NOT!!

I think disfigured was referring to Rush Limbaugh---who actually might know something about the repukes worth listening to (no likely but you never know).

The CosmicCracker is beyond hope. Despite volumes of posts and videos and quotes regarding rev wright he REFUSED to let the POSSIBILITY of forming an alternative impression trump this vile and blatant racism. For literally WEEKS he posted heinous and tremendously offensive remarks --- REPEATEDLY!

But here is the clue to the depth of his racist cowardly personae. He ran like a little bitch to another web site and squealed like a pig about being treated unfairly because he was called the racist that he is! That's right----this turd can dish out the racist shit but he has HUGE problems when someone calls him on it!

When he returned here he came with some prissy deluded bullshit about there is racism but it is not institutionalized. The barely educable nimcompoop pretended not to know that the issues of, pay inequity, voting rights, judicial fairness, health care decrepancies, massive differences in mortage interest rates, realator driven redlining......need I go on......exist or ever existed.

It is in this sort of willful ignorance and avoidance of any facts that once known would require recalibration of ideologies that one witnesses the core of malignant, vicious, and murderous racism.

CosmicCracker wears his ignorance like a kkk badge of honor! He thinks anyone with any education and accomplishment is "elete" [sic]. He considers those who would seek to resolve the discrepancies that give rise to the concerns about the "-isms" "Liberal" or even "radical". He pisses and moans about attempts that have been made to create an atomosphere of tolerance and acceptance of differences as being too "PC" for him. Tolerance itself is mentioned as though it were some code word for a disease.

This is the sort of person who would get beer drunk and mutilate and lynch a 16 year old child (male or female) based on anything---sexual preference, race, religion, nationality.

AND YES---he slithers and hides and ingratiates himself to decent people with chit chat about celebrities, or chess, and uses positive buzz words like "enlightenment" and "peace" and "unity" and "spirituality" to imitate a rational person with some hint of decorum.

Human malignancies like this are killing this nation. They prey on the weak minded with their professional victim performance skills. They leech the good will and time and energy of those who actually seek to elevate this country to the heights that our founding founders envisioned for it. They slime the image of this nation --- wanting always to be an American but NEVER wanting to do their part in making the nation one in which honesty is valued, and freedom, opportunity, and equity exist for everyone. They are PARASITES on the body of this nation. They need to be extricated from the circles of those who are struggling to heal the prejudices that create the stereotypes that lead to the divisions that threaten this nation. They are holding those people back. Slowing the progress. And those folks---trying to be tolerant of the intolerant, and liberal with the stingy and PC with the vulgar and vile need to cut the dead weight and move forward.

CosmicCracker--- like any aberrant growth--- may not be causing nasty symptoms yet---but like the most lethal of tumors he will keep impinging and invading until he usurps the life's blood of his victims. Like a cancer---Cosmic misattributes, misdefines and otherwise bastardizes the normal healthy things he encounters. This week it is John Lennon. Who knows what he will soil next!

RK77

Hmmmmmm......lets see...... a process..... of racial discrimination...... perpetuated by a selected group of folks....... and practiced over and over and over again.......

What does that sound like??????


I KNOW!!!! INSTITUTIONALIZATION!!!

But LOOK! The CosmicCracker is defending it as business as usual! He is saying---"Sure I did it! GET OVER IT!" Don't identify it. Don't discuss it. Don't act against!

Leave it alone and it will go away and we will all just live in blissful ignorance--------or at least all the white people will.........

But how could he defend something that he CLAIMS doesn't exist????

Ut OH! Me thinks he is caught in yet another vile racist lie----------

I would be more PC, poetry----but CosmicCracker disparages those who are PC....

CosmicRocker

wel RK has infected this thread with her vile venom, just when we were getting somewhere.
So I'm done here .
