Hey DG - one more thing...

Didn't mean to single you out on this,
but we have had our share of degenerate characters here.
(though I suspect a couple of them were Victor in drag)

It's now in the rear view mirror...

There's never any reason to suspect if a username is me. I always make it as obvious as possible (although we had a moron jimmyct who was so convinced he "found me out" on a username I made specifically obvious was me).... so there's no accounting for how dumb some people are.

I dunno izon.

A guy who makes a statements that "It was democrats who did that to the Japs" (his words) and then follows it up by accusing the OTHER poster of "the real divisive focus of Delta's post was to perpetrate the divisive propaganda of race bating"....

at that point we already know who they are.

The "christian republican" bullshcit is just icing on the cake.

... and uses asian slurs enough he knows how to spell them, but can't remember how to spell other slurs.

seems people who object when others point out that something said could have a negative affect on a whole group of innocent people, and calls that person out for using the "race baiting" card, are the ones who insist there isn't any racism here in the US...

anti-Chinese sentiment is real, as expressed by American citizens of Asian descent on social media...racists heap scorn on any Asian, since japs and chinks and gooks all look alike

history is replete with examples of xenophobia, and it is still being practiced

Delta, I agree with you. But I'm afraid at this point you're just screaming into the void.

The people who will believe you already know. The people who are going to discount what you're saying as being "divisive" and "race baiting" won't believe you regardless of evidence. They see what they want.

At some point those people stop being worth interacting with.

edit.... except to try to get them to go on a shooting spree. I'm still determined to get one of them to do that.

haha, thanks victor...appreciate the levity...

I'll keep making the effort because I think it helps to slowly move the needle in the right direction towards the idealism of liberty and equality that this great country represents...we have come a long way from the 50's and 60's when racism was legal...

we've come further than most other places in the world, but it seems there's a rise in white nationalism that threatens to erode some of the gains...what's the phrase? Never forget

Sincerely appreciative of your thoughts. Please forgive my careless abbreviation for the Japanese who were inturned by an American president who was very racist. I can readily admit my wrong and say that I'm in a bubble as I have absolutely no real time experience with any kind of racism that goes beyond inconvenient joking. That said I'm sure it's out there. I'm sure there's plenty we disagree on but when it comes to respectful discourse and no tolerance for real racism we are in complete agreement.
Sincerely,
Dan

Since he likes to take credit for things he’s had little, if anything to do with, why don’t we just call it the Trump Virus?



Problem solved.

Honestly, I think the entire state of the Republican party could be called the "Trump Virus", not sure I want to give that name away to an innocent little virus.

I've noticed the significant positive behavior modification brought about by Trump -- before he renamed the coronavirus, lots of talk on all msm ...in the racist-est terms about the 'SPANISH flu pandemic'. Since all the measured, thoughtful discussion about what to call the current virus, I only hear commentators talk about the 'Pandemic of 1918'....we're fortunate to have purged another endemic pocket of racism....Thanks, Mr. President

Hopefully 1918 won't find that the entire year is being discriminated against; we will probably have to avoid descriptive and origin-based names

...if we hadn't been fortunate to have had the Spaniards as scapegoats, we'd have been stuck with Kentucky Fried Virus?

many historians say that the Spanish Flu Pandemic did not originate in Spain...it was referred that way because Spain was the only country providing accurate news about its experience with the flu...


health historians think the virus may have originated in China, others say the first carriers were American soldiers stationed in Kansas, some others say it started in Britain or France...

From History.com


"While it's unlikely that the “Spanish Flu” originated in Spain, scientists are still unsure of its source. France, China and Britain have all been suggested as the potential birthplace of the virus, as has the United States, where the first known case was reported at a military base in Kansas on March 11, 1918."
