THAT FUCKING KID COMPARING HIS PENGUIN HOOD TO A TURBAN GOT ME HEATED AS FUCK I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHITE PRIVELEGE GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

I still don't quite get it. Is your point that people shouldn't try to be sensitive to other cultures and are "regular" if they do, or is this more of a "women and black people shut up because white man Nick Dagger feels uncomfortable" type thing?  i'm guessing its a  'take the extreme examples in an attempt to shut anybody who opposes white supremacy down, because just saying I support white supremacy will make me look like the asshole instead of them" type thing.
How's life in your former slave state Nick?

[smokecrack]

NickDagger is such a closet-racist. he probably subconsciously knows it, but cannot fully come-out.

hey Nick, who do you hate more: Richard Sherman or Kanye West?

I've been posting all along.
But out of curiosity, you could have made a thread dedicating the mocking of stupid people of any culture- pro-war, tea party, religious crusaders etc. Literally every culture has loudmouth idiots who can be pointed to and mocked, and many of these groups actually seek to hurt others. Why choose the one that seeks a less racist and more just society and point to that one and mock its dumb loudmouths? Your choice of which group's idiots to point to and laugh is telling.

How about we start a confederate-tard thread. I'll start:

How about the state dagger posts from? full of confederate-tards, you guys even passed a law limiting the ability for black people to vote in 2013, 60 years after the voting rights act.


Confederate-tards are dumber and more dangerous than lib-tards.

[NickDagger]

I appreciate you continuing to post in this thread. A lot of people were probably unsure of what a libtard was, but you are here to be a stellar real-life example everyone can experience. We all know and agree that everything you mentioned is regular/wrong. It isn't controversial or worth posting. Yet you can't do the same for this shit. Just be a man and say it's gay or stupid but there are bigger issues. If you can't do even do that, then this is why you are a libtard and everyone laughs at you bro. Take a deep breath and realize that you calling everyone from the south racist is also classic libtard behavior. OMG THE SOUTH HAS A HISTORY OF RACISM! What a real substantive attack on me! You do realize the entire country has a history of racism right? The country you live in. Want me to post the many examples of racism specific to California? I'm not going to, because that doesn't have anything to do with you and I'm not regular, but you need to understand what a stupid person you are, and how pathetic your tired racism attacks are. Every time you post, someone considers registering republican. You are that determinantal to the cause of liberalism. But again, a perfect addition to this thread, so keep it up.

The beauty of gipper's hubris is that he actually hates speech not just "hate" speech, but any kind that doesn't meet his credo therefore it should be rejected and ridiculed to the point of non existence by his standard. It's laughable how he viciously assaults a person's intelligence and shits where he eats as a teacher. An educated idiot with a lot of aggression to bestow upon people, kind of self defeating, huh?

Extremists are pretty much the same in every group. Some ''feminist'' claiming that all men are rapists isn't much different from some Nazi claiming jews are the source of everything evil, or some religious lunatic thinking he has the right to oppress everybody that doesn't believe in what he does

Confederate white boy makes fun of the idea that others are sensitive. Doesn't realize how he epitomizes everything bad about the south. Is informed of it, is proud. Thinks southern racism is "historic" as the southern man makes fun of people's racial sensitivity. Is SO STUPID he doesn't even realize how he epitomizes his example why trying to refute it.

So, proud southern white man, you have a job, or do you just sit around all day bitching about how people are too sensitive to black people?

I think you are allowed to as long as you're from the right region, not white, or male. Is that the jest of your brilliant argument gipper?

Sorry we can't all have been born in California, a state without a single mark on its history.

Gip, is history supposed to be your strong-suit? Do you want me to post about a thousand example of California's racist history? I can, if you really aren't aware of it. Again, I think that would have nothing to do with you, but you don't seem to be capable of grasping that concept. So if you want to proceed I can fill this thread with examples of your state's embarrassing history.

I really hate doing this sort of thing. It turns a fun thread into an annoying TL;DR copy paste-fest that everyone probably scrolls by. But since you've insisted, I'll indulge. California is a great state, I might even move there one day. However, since Gipper thinks he has some kind of moral authority not being from the South, here are some of the greatest hits from his homeland. Again, I wouldn't ever say California as a whole isn't a more progressive state than any state from the South, or ever try to hold anyone from the state accountable for its history. I mainly just want to show what an idiot Gipper is. So here ya go:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_massacre_of_1871

The Chinese massacre of 1871 was a racially motivated riot on October 24, 1871 in Los Angeles, when a mob of over 500 men entered Chinatown to attack, rob, and murder Chinese residents of the city.[1] The riots took place on Calle de los Negros (Street of the Negroes), also referred to as "Nigger Alley", which later became part of Los Angeles Street. A total of 18 Chinese immigrants were systematically killed by the mob, making the so-called "Chinatown War" the largest incident of mass lynching in American history.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Alien_Land_Law_of_1913

The California Alien Land Law of 1913 (also known as the Webb-Haney Act) prohibited "aliens ineligible for citizenship" from owning agricultural land or possessing long-term leases over it, but permitted leases lasting up to three years. [1] It affected the Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Korean immigrant farmers in California. Implicitly, the law was primarily directed at the Japanese. It passed thirty-five to two in the Senate and seventy-two to three in the Assembly and was co-written by attorney Francis J. Heney and California state attorney general Ulysses S. Webb at the behest of Governor Hiram Johnson. Japan's Consul General Kametaro Iijima and lawyer Juichi Soyeda lobbied against the law.[2][3][4] In a letter to the United States Secretary of State, the Japanese government via the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs called the law “essentially unfair and inconsistent… with the sentiments of amity and good neighborhood which have presided over the relations between the two countries,” and noted that Japan felt it was “in disregard of the spirit of the existing treaty between Japan and the United States.” The law was meant to discourage immigration, primarily of Japanese immigrants, and to create an inhospitable climate for immigrants already living in California.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_raid_(Inglewood)

Ku Klux Klan activities in Inglewood, California, were highlighted by the 1922 arrest and trial of 36 men, most of them masked, for a night-time raid on a suspected bootlegger and his family. The raid led to the shooting death of one of the culprits, an Inglewood police officer. A jury returned a "not guilty" verdict for all defendants who completed the trial. It was this scandal, according to the Los Angeles Times, that eventually led to the outlawing of the Klan in California.[1] The Klan had a chapter in Inglewood as late as October 1931.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_riot_of_1877

The San Francisco riot of 1877 was a two day pogrom waged against Chinese immigrants in San Francisco, California by the city's majority white population from the evening of July 23 through the night of July 24, 1877. The ethnic violence which swept Chinatown resulted in four deaths and the destruction of more than $100,000 worth of property belonging to the city's Chinese immigrant population.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Order_of_Caucasians

The Supreme Order of Caucasians was a group organized in Sacramento, California, in April 1876 whose primary focus was to run the Chinese out of the United States. It quickly grew to 64 chapters called "camps" statewide with about 5,000 members.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watsonville_riots

Near midnight on January 18, 1930, 500 white men and youths gathered outside a Filipino dance club in the Palm Beach section of Watsonville. The club was owned by a Filipino man and offered dances with the nine white women who lived there. The mob came with clubs and weapons intending to take the women out and burn the place down. The owners threatened to shoot if the rioters persisted, and when the mob refused to leave, the owners opened fire. Police broke up the fight with gas bombs. Two days later, on January 20, a group of Filipino men met with a group of white men near the Pajaro River bridge to settle the score. A group of Mexican men then arrived and took sides with the whites. The riot began and continued for five days.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoot_Suit_Riots

As the violence escalated over the ensuing days, thousands of white servicemen joined the attacks, marching abreast down streets, entering bars and movie houses and assaulting any young Latino males they encountered. In one incident, sailors dragged two zoot suiters on-stage as a film was being screened, stripped them in front of the audience, and then urinated on their suits.[17] Although police accompanied the rioting servicemen, they had orders not to arrest any of them. After several days, more than 150 people had been injured and police had arrested more than 500 Latinos on charges ranging from "rioting" to "vagrancy".[5]

A witness to the attacks, journalist Carey McWilliams wrote,

"Marching through the streets of downtown Los Angeles, a mob of several thousand soldiers, sailors, and civilians, proceeded to beat up every zoot suiter they could find. Pushing its way into the important motion picture theaters, the mob ordered the management to turn on the house lights and then ran up and down the aisles dragging Mexicans out of their seats. Streetcars were halted while Mexicans, and some Filipinos and Negroes, were jerked from their seats, pushed into the streets and beaten with a sadistic frenzy."[24]

The local press lauded the attacks by the servicemen, describing the assaults as having a "cleansing effect" that were ridding Los Angeles of "miscreants" and "hoodlums".[25] As the riots progressed the media reported the arrest of Amelia Venegas, a female zoot suiter charged with carrying a brass knuckleduster. While the revelation of female pachucos' (pachucas) involvement in the riots led to frequent coverage of the activities of female pachuco gangs, the media suppressed any mention of the Anglo-American pachuco gangs that were also involved.[17]

The Los Angeles City Council approved a resolution criminalizing the wearing of "zoot suits with reat [sic] pleats within the city limits of LA" after Councilman Norris Nelson stated "The zoot suit has become a badge of hoodlumism". No ordinance was ever approved by the City Council or signed into law by the Mayor, although the council did encourage the War Production Board to take steps "to curb illegal production of men's clothing in violation of WPB limitation orders." White sailors and Marines had initially targeted only pachucos, African-Americans in zoot suits were also attacked in the Central Avenue corridor area. This escalation compelled the Navy and Marine Corps command staffs to intervene on June 7, confining sailors and Marines to barracks and declaring Los Angeles off limits to all military personnel with enforcement by U.S. Navy Shore Patrol personnel. Their official position remained that their men were acting in self defense.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Los_Angeles_riots

The 1992 Los Angeles riots, also known as the Rodney King riots, the South Central riots, the 1992 Los Angeles civil disturbance, 1992 Los Angeles civil unrest, and the Los Angeles uprising[1] were a series of riots, lootings, arsons and civil disturbance that occurred in Los Angeles County, California in 1992, following the acquittal of police officers on trial regarding a videotaped and widely-covered police brutality incident. They were the largest riots seen in the United States since the 1960s and the worst in terms of death toll after the New York City draft riots in 1863.

The riot was first started in South Central Los Angeles and then eventually spread out into other areas over a six-day period within the Los Angeles metropolitan area in California beginning in April 1992. The riots started on April 29 after a trial jury acquitted four Los Angeles Police Department officers of assault and use of excessive force. The mostly white officers were videotaped beating Rodney King following a high-speed police pursuit. Thousands of people throughout the metropolitan area in Los Angeles rioted over six days following the announcement of the verdict.[2]

Widespread looting, assault, arson and murder occurred during the riots, and estimates of property damage was over $1 billion. The rioting ended after soldiers from the California Army National Guard, the 7th Infantry Division, and Marines from 1st Marine Division were called in to stop the rioting when the local police could not handle the situation. In total, 53 people were killed during the riots and over 2,000 people were injured.
