You'd think that if you wanted to promote the idea that Caucasians are supreme, you'd put better examples of white people on your screen.

But then, nobody ever accused white supremacists of thinking logically.

This is what I was talking about in the other thread Perfume. You dismissed it as the board has nothing to do with legislation. Why don't you or Kevin tell me how the hell I can legitimately be concerned about border security and my tax dollars going to productive border security without being a white supremacist?

LOL... wow.

I'm legitimately concerned about border security and my tax dollars going to productive border security without being a white supremacist. I think it's funny you've conflated the two... right along with Fux News.

Are you concerned about the northern border? Does that concern have something to do with white supremacy?

Perfume,

This is why the 180 divide on the media is so problematic. If someone says anything that sounds like a defense of FoxNews or Trump they fully endorse it. I watched the clips and saw some fox news clips intertwined with other non Fox News clips were much more supremacist in their tone. What is the FoxNews dog whistles I am just too dumb to see that are white supremacist?

Here’s one, from one of their major headline personalities:

Tucker Carlson, 12/13/18:

Our leaders demand that you shut up and accept this. We have a moral obligation to admit the world’s poor, they tell us, even if it makes our own country poorer, and dirtier, and more divided. Immigration is a form of atonement.”

It becomes a strawman when you describe enabling a behavior the same as "fully endorsing it." It exposes the fact that you're not processing the specific criticisms.

Hi canpakes,

“Our leaders demand that you shut up and accept this. We have a moral obligation to admit the world’s poor, they tell us, even if it makes our own country poorer, and dirtier, and more divided. Immigration is a form of atonement.”

I'm understanding you correctly that is veiled white supremacy? Is it the word dirtier? I'm sincerely asking. One of my biggest pet peeves with politics is that sincere questions are taken as game playing, I'm not, I can sincerely say I'm wrong. But can you parse that for me like I'm a kindergartner?

Well you could start by defining "productive border security." You can follow that up by demonstrating using a valid argument, that this is worth really being concerned about. Border crossings had been at all time lows when Trump became President yet suddenly it is treated like the worst national security crisis since the bay of pigs.
