Blacks are equal.so what?

Not the message but it's interesting that it's what you got out of it.

@redbai Why point out the color of his skin though? It’s like saying “typically black people can’t do much, but look at this guy”

That’s pretty racist and demeaning to black people.

@CourtJester Where is the color of his skin pointed out? Oh, it's not. But somehow you read the meme as something about his skin color even when it wasn't mentioned. That's kind of revealing. You apparently find it insulting to all black people that someone made a meme that Haley won the trophies, which is also kind of weird. I don't know what kind of logic you're using to get there but I can't imagine a single black person being insulted that another black person won trophies any more than it would insult white people that Tom Brady won more trophies than they may have.

So please clarify, when the media mentions that Tom Brady has 6 Superbowl Trophies, is it sending the same insulting message to white people, to paraphrase you, "typically white guys can't do much but Brady's special" or do you only generalize negatively about non-white people?

@redbai “Black History Fact Of The Day”

@CourtJester Are you dodging the racist implications of your comments. That reply does not explain your comment that the image implies that "typically black people can't do much". Why don't you include all the assumptions you're making about black people when you see that phrase? That might make it easier to understand what can easily be inferred as bigoted assumptions on your part. Maybe it's just context. So go ahead and explain why it is "racist and demeaning to black people" to point out that a black person won 5 Super Bowl trophies but not the same for white people when it's pointed out that Tom Brady won even more.

@redbai I think to point anything out based on color is rather racist.

@CourtJester That's one of the most superficial and pointless definitions of racism that I've ever heard. It must have taken all of 30 seconds to develop such deep insight on the subject. No wonder you don't have much to say on your racist assumptions, you've obviously done as little thinking on the subject as possible.

@redbai Would you point out Valentino Rossi’s motorcycle skills during white history month?

@CourtJester Sure, when is white history month? And yes, I noticed that you're inserting a non-sequitur to avoid answering directly the questions about your racist implications.

@redbai I’m racist because I think that focusing on someone’s race is racist. That’s some liberal logic right there.

@CourtJester I didn't call you a racist, I said that you are saying things that make it easy to infer racism. I'm still waiting for you to explain how it is racist or demeaning to point out that a black person won 5 Super Bowl trophies. You've done nothing but create pointless tangents instead of addressing your own comments; why is that? Can't you explain the logic of your statement? There might be a totally non-racist reason that you made a negative assumption about black people winning trophies that you don't seem to apply to white people. If so, go ahead and explain it.

For all I know (and given all indications, easily inferred), you could simply be incredibly ignorant on the true manifestations of racism and have taken on superficial definitions because the issue isn't really relevant in your daily life. Now that you're in a conversation where your superficial assumptions and all their negative implications aren't shared, you're finding it difficult to address them in any meaningful manner given they've never had any real depth or needed to be justified. That doesn't make you a racist. It makes you ignorant or purposely obtuse; character traits that true racists can exploit in their personal bigotry and the effects of systemic racism.

So no, that wasn't "liberal logic", that was just something stupid you made up to hide the fact that you really have no idea what you're talking about. You apparently know as little about liberalism as you do the manifestation of racism.

@redbai I’m not reading your replies. But it’s safe to say that anything based on the color of a person’s skin is racist. If you support it; well then you are racist.

@CourtJester Thanks for demonstrating that one of the posts you didn't read had merit. You admit to being purposely obtuse. Thanks for the validation.
