[quote name='UncleBob']No, instead you demand that others answer your questions for you. Which is sad when you know **** good and well that you already know the answers and you're just playing stupid because the answers don't fit with your narrow view of the world.[/QUOTE]
When someone doesn't use a term properly, I don't know the answer. You claim "white knight" is a dog whistle, when the very concept of a dog whistle is that it must be able to be heard by a select few, and remain silent to others (or at least plausibly deniable). That's why people say "thug" when they mean "ni**er" in this day and age. You know what they are really saying, I know what they are really saying, and they know what they are really saying. It has a shared meaning.
A term lacking in shared meaning can not meet the definition of a "dog whistle." I can't say "Dr. Thunder" is a dog whistle term for a Wal-Mart dumb
, because it's (aside from being not very subtle in its allusion) no common meaning. I'd have to overtly explain what I meant too many times for it to be effective - therefore, it can not be a dog whistle.
Which brings me to "white knight." It is not a dog whistle because it has no common shared history, as a term standing on its own, in American race relations. It has a shared meaning elsewhere (referring to someone who nobly, and perhaps pretentiously, defends others against 'attackers' of some sort) - a far more common meaning that has no bearing on race relations.
Secondly, you didn't actually see what your google results for "white knight racism" displayed. There's nothing in those results that do anything to support the claim that there is any historical context to the use of the term "white knight" as a racially loaded term - not a single,
ing, thing. Quite a few contrary examples, someone names "White Knight" who was a member of the Klan in the 19th century, and a forum thread about racism in online players of the game White Knight Chronicles (hey!) - but not a bloody thing to support your point.
Lacking in support there, and needing to explain how it is a dog whistle - that refutes the very idea that it's a dog whistle. It shows you to be a petulant brat who insists that their claims be taken at face value. Shoot first, provide evidence of wrongdoing later (also, find evidence later, then maybe provide it). But most importantly, shoot first.
That's why I asked. Because your use of the term "dog whistle" bears little similarity to how the world uses that term, other than to imply a subtle meaning. Your claim that the term "white knight" has historical context falls flat on the surface.
That's why I asked you to answer those questions - and likely why you went the cunty route of simply posting google search pages as "answers" to be accepted at face value and with no further inspection or critique - because I knew that you had nothing to back those claims up with.
You've shown yourself, again, to be nothing less than a complete and utter charlatan and a fraud.
But you have managed to get us well off track by acting the role of shithead, so perhaps you've accomplished your troll goal there. Good show, prat.
