People from Europe Frank, nothing to do with races. Besides, wouldn't you racial theorists insist that Europe consists of many races?

Whites. Europeans are whites.

I said that after you started throwing around the word 'race' and attempting to pin it on me FD. What I said here should be self-evident that I'm not referring to anyone as a 'race' (the giveaway is the "you" as in "you can call them a race if you like") So I ask again, where did you get 'race' from, and why were you falsely attempting to attribute the word to what I had been saying?

freediver wrote on Nov 23^rd, 2017 at 7:14pm:


No hypocricy. Racism has nothing to do with 'race' either FD. As I've said ad-nauseum before, there is not such thing as race - even if "racism" is real. I've explained it enough times to you.

freediver wrote on Nov 23^rd, 2017 at 7:14pm:


Good point FD. I should blame the Arabs for European rape and pillage right? Or better yet, Islam.

freediver wrote on Nov 23^rd, 2017 at 10:03pm:


Correct. If only you could actually comprehend it though.

He can't even admit when he's been caught out being racist?

Why on earth would I do that? Do you deny that millions of people died as a result of diseases spread by Europeans as they went on their rape, pillage and enslavement expeditions? Thats the only relevant point here. To jog your memory, its the same period that you  pretend was nothing but a period of bad weather, people dying from Arab diseases, and Europeans doing nothing but nobly treating and curing diseases.

Oh yeah, you got me there FD - I'm totally trying to sneakily spinelessly apologise for the black man - cause you know, he's not white. 

freediver wrote on Nov 24^th, 2017 at 12:12pm:


You must have overdosed on your confusion pills this morning FD. Thats hysterical, even for you. I don't even know where to begin with that.

Take a deep breath, calm down, and think about what you are actually saying - and after that think about what you are actually responding to. Because its not even remotely related to anything I said.

Because I asked for an example. Can you give one?

Quote:


Do you blame the black man or the white man Gandalf? If a black man rapes a mexiwoman on a beach in Florida and she contracts AIDS, do you blame the man who gave her the disease, or white people for bringing the disease to the country?

Quote:


You invited me to call them white, then got upset when i called them white. How else should we interpret it Gandalf?

Also, if there were many instances of a disease being passed on by people of different races with sinister intentions, how do you decide which race to blame? Is it always white people who get the blame?

Are you just making this up as you go along, or is this a Muslim thing you are getting from somewhere?

If a white supremacist started saying European instead of white, would you defend him against charges of racism? Or can only Muslims do this trick?

If the Arabs made the contact between the old and the new world inevitable by cutting Europe off from the rest of civilisation, do they bear any responsibility for the introduction of diseases?

Why does the blame hinge on intentions that had nothing at all to do with disease? If the disease was introduced to the Americas be people trying to find a trade route to India, who do you blame?

If the disease was already there when they invaded, does that mean they are not to blame?

Can any blame be attributed to geographic proximity of the disease source to the people it was passed on to? Or just white people?

Also, why does blame not hinge on whether the disease was deliberately introduced? Are you saying the Europeans who had nothing to do with the introduction of the disease are just as blame worthy as the Americans who deliberately gave smallpox to native Indians?
