Sagebrush posted:while i'm sure the subtlety is lost on most newspaper readers and possibly also on the cartoonist, I appreciate that he drew the Cadeuceus (symbol of Hermes, the god of merchants and commerce, and the one who escorts the dead to Hades) instead of the Rod of Asklepios (symbol of healing and medicine). A particularly GC Yeah there is basically zero chance he intended that.

Sagebrush posted:Like, the goal here is not to compromise, right? I assume you don't want to go "okay, sure, you can be a little less racist and I'll be a little more racist and we'll find a middle ground and get along?" The eventual plan is to bring them completely to your side, while not compromising your own beliefs? everyone is racist, literally everyone has some racial bias. The key is recognizing it and overcoming it in your thought process. Just because you have recognized and are in control of your racial biases doesn't mean that everyone is, some people are racist out of ignorance. Some people are racist in a "why do black people take so long to cross the street and make so much noise in theaters" and aren't quite to "seig heil, anti racist is white genocide, etc" yet, but not attempting to understand and help them combat their biases very well could push them in that direction. I get that it feels good to be like gently caress racists no matter what but it isn't productive. You obviously shouldn't waste your time on white supremacists. But normal people, normal republicans who are racist in not immediately obvious, non KKK ways, can be helped and brought to your side. It's stupid and harmful to our cause to just write them off. Some of us have family we love who you could consider racist. For us, this isn't an academic question. We want to help them overcome this disease of the mind. But the self righteous liberal anger isn't helping. In fact it's pushing them further away. Stop. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Broken Loose posted:your family is trash and if they can't handle the consequences of publicly acting like a shitfucker then they belong exactly where they say Those People should go, if not worse You don't know my family, so I'm not sure your judgement of them as "trash" is accurate. And they do not publically act like racists nor do they think minorities should leave the country. This is the righteous, unthinking liberal anger I'm talking about. As an example, my aunt is one of the most amazing human beings I know. She is ridiculously rich because she invented a way to use quick set cement to lay oil pipes in the gulf, yet she lives in a very modest house in one of the poorest, blackest communities around. All of her money and personal time goes toward helping those in need, no matter the color. In public? She's gotten awards from the NAACP, local charity groups, and the Knights of Columbus (who are white as hell). She breaks her back, literally to the point of needing surgery, to work for habitat for humanity. Recently, most of her time and money have gone to helping the local children's hospital. Yet, behind closed doors, she often talked about how Obama wanted to destroy Christian, white America and hates groups like BLM, antifa and immigrants. Ignoring her weird racist political views, which do not seem to influence her philanthropy much if at all, how do you measure up? Certainly her white privilege is a factor, as well as the fact that her husband is a patent lawyer and helped build her fortune, and she was born into an old money family in the first place. These things disqualify her from being a net gain for humanity? Is she not worth saving? I've moved her considerably left, and the influence of the new Pope has eased her racism towards Latin Americans massively, but you would say she isntworth saving? That she's trash? It might be blood that is blinding me, but I just don't think so. She's not past redemption, assuming she even needs it in the first place. I love her regardless of her flaws for what I see in her, and I won't give her up simply because she comes from a different time and place than our modern ethics. I cannot. Call me an optimist, call me an idealist, call me a racist, point out that I'm from the south and all that that implies. I won't condemn the people I love to some societal purgatory simply because they don't live up to your standards. They aren't past redemption. None of us are.

Ularg posted:I don't know if casually racist family members is a common thing or just particular to the south. But I've taken some flak for at least calling out racist and homophobic behaviors with my otherwise friendly family. Don't know what's so hard about that. I don't need to weight them on a scale of "Well they do amazing things and are good people but they also casually say 'fag' without much prompting". Absolutely, as I've mentioned before in this forum I have been ostracized by quite a few family members for calling out their racism (nobody's really homophobic since we have gay relatives, which ain't ideal but better than nothing) especially on my mom's side. I don't hesitate to call out blatant racism when it appears, which is why my aunt and I have had long discussions on the topic and she's become way better about it than she used to be.

Lightning Knight posted:Casually racist family members are common, but don't act like people who are materially harmed by the shitstains they vote for aren't justified in hating them. It's my job to deal with the people in my family I want to save, yeah. Whose job is it to convert those who have no such family members to help them? Are they doomed to the guilliotine? Even the KKK aren't beyond compassion. http://www.npr.org/2017/08/20/544861933/how-one-man-convinced-200-ku-klux-klan-members-to-give-up-their-robes I'm not saying people aren't justified in the hatred they feel. People are entitled to their feelings, no matter what they are. But try to have some compassion for fellow human beings who aren't as priveleged as you.

Both sides do it when they don't want their opponent making hay out of whatever tragedy of the week

Kit Walker posted:Sure looks that way. The two aren't comparable, either. Val is a cool comic but it's high fantasy and has nothing to do with politics at all. He says, right after seeing an example of said comic with the white main character defending native Americans against Mongolians with a black man by his side. Seriously, you can admit to not getting it, but saying Prince Val isn't political is a bit much.

I mean anecdotally, I know tons of liberal women who aren't grossed out by Bill, and in fact hold him in higher regard than Hillary? Not sure how much that is worth to anyone but me, but it skeeves me the f*ck out.
