You aren't and haven't shown that you are. You've given us nothing of substance to show any initimate knowledge on the broader subject. You don't get credit for making several posts saying that you don't like it because you've never heard of it and then posting a couple of links from right-wing sources using an entirely different argument that relies on knowledge that you don't have.LOL @ you saying I am not knowledgeable on the issue of "SELF-IDENTIFICATION".
Honestly, I couldn't care less that you don't like the label. I care about the WHY. If you don't have good and/or defensible reasons, then maybe you should rethink your stances on things.So what if I don't like the label? (i am not the only one and i have a right to that opinion) Why does that bother you so much?
When did I say that?
I find it sad that there are so many issues that are able to be discussed in that little paragraph, but that you aren't able to.I find it laughable when I am reading an article about a crime and they have the picture of say the predator and then in the article they feel it necessary to tell me that they are white or black. The picture wasn't enough for them? They have to tell me how I should VIEW the person?
You don't use any terminology, describe the history of terms, discuss the evolution of concepts, or show any understanding of the concepts. It's a rhetorical tool to ask someone to prove a negative because you can't, but you've shown no evidence that you do and that's as close as you can get.Again how am I not knowledgable on self-identification?
Are you saying that you haven't learned anything? LOLZ...that makes it even more hilarious and sad at the same time.So you think that you have taught me something? That is what you are saying in your post. Thanks to you now I understand it better? Somebody is really full of themselves.
NOW you want to use the ethnicity vs race argument? I guess you learned something afterall!isn't brown a color????????????
Brown implies color not ethnicity.
No mature arguments? If one is mature, then they don't have arguments in the first place. They agree that others are entitled to their own opinion and if they disagree they do so respectfully. So by that admission, I do agree that some discussions I've had on here haven't exactly been all that mature. Then again, I believe the average user on here save for some segments of CAG is 15-16, so that may factor into it a bit.I don't agree with everything myke, clak, camoor, dmaul, msut, or any number of the usuals say, but I don't flame because they make arguments and don't play dumb. If you want to play the "rules" card, you haven't any mature arguments so what's your point?
You don't seem to understand what an "argument" means in relation to a debate. As for being mature, I have no problem getting in the mud with the troglodytes that shit and run on vs. When we're talking about vs., I'm willing to bet that the more prolific posters are close to and around 30.No mature arguments? If one is mature, then they don't have arguments in the first place. They agree that others are entitled to their own opinion and if they disagree they do so respectfully. So by that admission, I do agree that some discussions I've had on here haven't exactly been all that mature.

No, you just argued the obsurdity of adding white- to the -Hispanic when Hispanic, on it's own, would suffice and related it to how we call Obama black, and not white-African.I didn't say it was dumb. I said it goes against your entire idea that the entrenched white-controlled media is pushing a pro-white agenda.
WellIf they're trying to distance the idea of white folks being responsible for this, then there's no reason to use the term "white-Hispanic". Just say "Hispanic". It'd probably be considered accurate by the majority of the population (well, the majority of the population won't care one way or another) and does a better job of accomplishing their agenda.
It'd be appropriate if we were talking about aerodynamics, engineering, aviation, TSA policies, and a host of other subjects related to planes and flying. To put it in the context of our "conversation," you're talking about folding paper airplanes your hate for folding them because you can't make them fly for long enough and I'm talking goddamn aerodynamics and lift.I could be an ass like you and say you are not knowledgable about airplanes even though you have not discussed airplanes and how they are made and of what components.
Like I said. PROVE IT. I have over 25 posts for you to highlight where you said I lied.I have a better idea instead of starting the two threads I said you should why don't you just merge them into one as with you they go hand in hand.
Nice of you to capitalize race. Are discussions of race supposed be be scary or something? Since you made a reference to books on racism, how about you point out the books where I've erred. If you're going to make the assertion that I misinterpreted some books, articles, or studies, PROVE IT.If your studying for years involved the one drop rule then you would know that you used it incorrectly and it did not apply. You might want to go study those RACE books again.
No, you just argued the obsurdity of adding white- to the -Hispanic when Hispanic, on it's own, would suffice and related it to how we call Obama black, and not white-African.
They DID categorize him as Hispanic and white-Hispanic is a more accurate description of him because he passes for white. Having ____-Hispanic or just plain not 100% white is already more than enough for most white people to disassociate his actions from coming from their own racial group. Hell, even white-Hispanic isn't that accurate for him because it's applied when referring to someone of mainly Spanish ancestry and not to denote a multiracial person.That wasn't my argument at all. My point is it's absurd to say they're using the term "white-Hispanic" in an attempt to distance him from the "white" race when simply using the term "Hispanic" would do a better job at that. Also, you'll find articles from the beginning (including our very own OP) that jumped at the chance at pointing out the whiteness of Zimmerman. The white/Hispanic/white-Hispanic issues in early articles could be attributed to the confusion surrounding the story and the rush by the 24-hour news cycle to get the story on air with fewer fact checks because we can always correct it later.
Damn right. The woman I mentioned above has a virtual revolving door on her house. She has friends/relatives staying over a good 80% of the time. They hog all of the available spots on the street, not only in front of her house but in front of ours and the neighbor on the other side of her house.Also, do you expect every neighbor to have their visitors submit you a signed permission slip with a photo?

NBC was chastised and fired people for it, not to mention that it was on the today show. You can't say the same thing for Fox News and James O'Keefe.Don Cheadle Slams NBC Over George Zimmerman 911 Call Controversy

Saying I'm playing games, saying that I'm wrong without saying why, calling my points BS...now that's all well and good, but if you're not going to address the points without any substance, well, you're just using circular logic which is exemplified by your entire post.You had your chance to defend your BS and didn't do it (not really) but just played little games probably because there was no defending it as you were wrong and full of it.
This is very similar to someone else that used to post here. Now I don't think you're Pliskin101, but probably endemic to your mutual levels of ignorance.Your request is just more of the same from you. BS and games.
Just like how you could've done with mine and yours.So you Know I did not go through nineteen days of posts I clicked their name and magically it allows me to see just their posts.
You quoted Fox News in an earlier post, so you can google him yourself.I am not aware of what James Okeefe did. Why don't you post a link for me?
Now this right here is very Pliskin-like. Comedy is a very interesting form of art because it can be overtly performed or subtly performed, so that it can be appreciated at different levels. Judging from your response, you probably saw Chappelle's Show and thought it was all "Rick James BITCH!" and the crack-face character without looking into the social commentary of a vast majority of his skits."If you have something interesting to say about it, then say it. I'm guessing you don't."
Did I say I have something interesting to say about it?. It was COMEDY and didn't I state that? I thought I did? That is what I wanted to say and said. DUH!! (i get the feeling you do not get comedy and can't appreciate it that stick (or head of yours) is to far up your bum)
Admit it. You can't help yourself.The rest of your post is just more ramblings so I wont waste anymore of my time with the madness known as dohdough's BS.
