Also Hitchslap, why are you in the Luciferianist clan if you don't pray to god at all?

Heehee, the intolerance of those who cry, "Intolerance!" You guys need to get a grip. Nothing in his story represents any intolerance on the part of Hitchslap. In fact, he's being quite tolerant of his grandmother's religion so far. All the intolerance so far is in your imaginations, and in your hypocritical cries of "Intolerance!" At least wait until he finishes the story to see what *actually* happens. Sheesh.

He just assumed that every white person in that church was "mildly racist". Plus he cares that the Pastor is "dark ebony black" and not "milk chocolate black"!! As if your skin color denotes how "black" a person is lol.

He assumed the people were racist because they were white christians.

This is how I know your dumb.

No, he didn't. Read it again.

Plus he cares that the Pastor is "dark ebony black" and not "milk chocolate black"!!

Does he 'care', or has he simply taken note of the fact?

As if your skin color denotes how "black" a person is lol.

Heehee. Okay, so what does 'black' refer to if not skin colour? lol

And the second thought was about the irony of being here, in a small countryside town, populated mostly by elderly white people, therefore likely to be mildly racists.

No you read it again WCT!! He assumed they were "likely to be mildly racist" because they were 1) elderly 2) white people and 3) from a rural area. Trends do not connote fact. Unless he asked each and every single one if they were a racist and then they responded yes could his theory be correct.

Do you understand the word 'likely'?

From google:
like·ly
ˈlīklē/
adjective
adjective: likely; comparative adjective: likelier; superlative adjective: likeliest
1.
such as well might happen or be true; probable.
"the likely effects of the drought on sugar beet yields"

expected, anticipated, predictable, predicted, foreseeable;
informal in the cards
"it seemed likely that a scandal would break"

2.
apparently suitable; promising.
"a likely-looking spot"

promising, hopeful
"a likely place for a picnic"

adverb
adverb: likely
1.
probably.
"we will most likely go to a bar"


'Likely' is a judgment of *probability*. It's not an *assumption* that the thing is *certainly* true, which is what you were saying when you said, "He just assumed that every white person in that church was "mildly racist"."

Ironically, you are yourself displaying prejudice, when you take his innocuous statement about probability and *assume* that he is making a blanket statement about everyone.

Do you understand the word 'prejudice?'

From Google:

prej·u·dice
ˈprejədəs/Submit
noun
1.
preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.
"English prejudice against foreigners"
synonyms: preconceived idea, preconception, prejudgment
"male prejudices about women"
2.
LAW
harm or injury that results or may result from some action or judgment.
"prejudice resulting from delay in the institution of the proceedings"
synonyms: detriment, harm, damage, injury, hurt, loss
"without prejudice to the interests of others"

Jai has not acted in the form of prejudice. He has not made any preconceived opinion, as he is commenting on what he has read. Actually, Hitchslap is acting in prejudice. He assumes that people who vote for the Nationalist party are racist. He assumes people who live in right-wing areas are "mildly racist."

Yes he has. He has judged Hitchslap's character and thoughts (as being intolerant and racist) before he has enough information to make an informed judgment.

He assumes that people who vote for the Nationalist party are racist. He assumes people who live in right-wing areas are "mildly racist."

And now you're making the same mistake. I note that you fail to quote him, but only paraphrase (inaccurately).

These were my original questions: Is it going to be a great evening because he is black?? Also why do you care about the difference between "dark ebony black" and "milk chocolate black"??

I'll wait for hitchslap to respond instead of his proxy (wct).

Grammar Nazism - the sign that someone knows there wrong and are desperate too take any victory, however pathetic.

He has judged Hitchslap's character and thoughts (as being intolerant and racist) before he has enough information to make an informed judgment.


Irony- you slam people for slightly misquoting Hitchslap, and then drastically misquote Jai.


You Sir, should be thrown out of any debate.

You're sad.

Are you f*cking kidding me?

And the second thought was about the irony of being here, in a small countryside town, populated mostly by elderly white people, therefore likely to be mildly racists. And their town’s priest is a black guy from West Africa...I wanted to burst in laughter (I just checked the results of the last regional elections to be sure that I wasn’t making an unfair assumption, and unsurprisingly 40% voted for the far-right nationalist party…)


He wants to burst out laughing because of his assumptions he has made. He does believe Nationalists are racists. He does assume that people living in right-wing areas are racists. He assumes right-wing people in general are racists. Otherwise, he wouldn't have f*cking put above quoted sh*t in his story. Either that, or he has succeeded in his attempt to start a flame war in the Off Topic forum.
