Strap yourselves in for a long read...
Ok... flap me...
So I only just stumbled upon this thread and I had no idea my honest question to the mods would spark this.
To start I will try to make my position on the matter clear. We are a progressive society and as such we should not be controlling ideas or thoughts. Debate is important and we need informed debate if we're ever going to continue to advance as a people, not just Australians but the Human Race in general. Not to drag things off topic but some of the PC culture by the perpetually butthurt in universities etc is just ridiculous.
That said, there is a point in debate and exchanging of ideas where language and context starts to put an end to what would be considered debate and the protections of such end.
Now I've just finished reading all the posts in this thread and at least my original intention for asking the question wasn't to spark this sort of "debate" but more so to get a better understanding of these boards. I had wondered if I had stumbled onto a place on the internet where racism is condoned and promoted, because rules aside, that's what this place seems like. It was an honest question to the mods.
As I said, I’ve just finished reading this thread and boy did this degrade and fast...
It seems this thread has attracted those who get angry when they're called a racist because they use racial slurs or people misrepresent their hatred and bigotry towards a certain religious followers as racism.
Then they go on to play some sort of pseudo intellectual thought experiment to legitimise their hate by claiming there is only a "human race" therefore one can’t be a “racist” and Islam is not a race, therefore I can say and do what I like and I'm not a racist.
Then there are people saying they want to have sex with women of another race so they can't be racist, while using racial slurs in the same post? There are so many things wrong with that I don't even know where to begin...
How warped are you bloody people..!?
All the people getting triggered and trying to defend themselves or laughing of all the times they've been called a racist, you can't honestly think you're not a acist right? Sure, there are some people that throw that label around all too often that it loses all meaning, but the language, the intent and the context of how many of the people in this thread post, it’s smacking racist as hell!
Like you're not that deep into the echo chamber with the people you surround yourself with that you're so racist you can't even see it?
How bloody stupid or inbred are you people!?
I’m not going to address everything because I’ll get enough hate as it is, and to be honest there is just far too much going on, but,

It's funny that these imported black people try to goad me with their imagined supremacy in the workplace. They say "where are you now whitey?".
I say, "You're still working for me boy". In two weeks I'm going to spend six months on the best island in the world at your expense black person.
Suck it down and work smacking hard for me boy. I have shares that require tending to. Like I say to all the other childish supremacists.
Fighting racism with racism, that's racist...

Now repeat after me.
To ...be...a...race...it ...must....be ...a ...race.
To...be...a ...racist....you...have...to ....hate ....a ....race.
Islam....is ....not.....a....race, ....it ....is....simply.....a.....cult
Valkie i was talking about bog-standard racism, not Islamophobia. Don't you feel just a little but silly now?
You know, the kind of racism you yourself exhibit when you refer to Indonesians as "monkeys".
No, not silly at all if you cant enunciate adequately
As for indonesians, it is an accurate description, what is the problem?
Being oblivious to your own racism or not realising you’re using racial slurs is no excuse Val.

But what this thread is about is justification of labeling those with issue with the CULT as racist.
That certainly wasn’t my original intent with asking the question, but it seems to be the MO for most people to excuse their hate and bigotry around here. Classic deflection.

there is a reason why blondes are less intelligent.
Scoot, you’re one of the most messed up people on here with the most bizarre world views I’ve encountered in all my years that I’m just going to give you a wide berth here… I’ve heard enough about alpha males and your take on women. It does however point to some serious issues that I know the thought of seeking help is what a “fat steve” would do, but before you neck yourself when you can no longer cut it being such a manly man and all, please get help.
