Well, if it was a white person speaking on this subject, then you would complain that they were not qualified to speak. And if it's a black person, well then they must've been paid to say what they're saying. I like how you PC fascists set your ideology up such that rational critique is not even a possibility.

Just how folks like yourself are able to make these observations while avoiding blatant hypocrisy is something that continues to amaze me. I need only reference the tags on the last two Prager videos which intended to arbitrarily associate nazism, white people and racism together as if the phenomenon of racism, slavery and genocide were peculiar qualities found only in those of a specific skin tone. However, Y'know what is peculiar? Y'know what truly is a rarity in the history of civilization? A nation that outlaws slavery under a democratic system! We did that. And whether or not we continued to have a multitude of racial problems in this country, we did that. That's very rare in history. I honestly fear for the integrity of the intelligence pool that you are and will continue to be a part of. If you want to be an SJW and practice virtue-signaling, you need to leave this country and find a nation were racism and sexism are actually taking place. How about Iran? I suggest Masiheh Alenijad's book Wind In My Hair if you want to hear about real oppression. And yes you fool. There really are people getting rich on keeping racism alive and well in this country.

(apologies Poetv, I'm a long time viewer; used to respect the users here and I rarely comment; i think this site really is done)

Oh no, this wonderful guy who's never submitted, commented on or voted on a video, might leave if we don't believe in Jesus!

You know, you've got a lot of strong opinions about what we'd say if somebody said something that aren't really based on very much. It's like those sadsacks that totally know what girls want despite not being friends with any and never having had a girlfriend. And you criticize us for cutting off debate?

There are plenty of black people out there who think that standard leftist perceptions about race are either badly outdated or are missing the important stuff. They have good arguments, and they're not hard to find. You know where you won't find them though? Prager U.

Hey, that was classy! Excuse me Teach, but my entire ethnicity had already been the subject of vilification in the form of tags with racial epithets not to mention this fellow above named IrishWiskey who had also already gone ad hominem and based the majority of his "arguments" on the skin color of the woman presenting the Prager vid. How ironic. So, exactly how you feel that you're in a position to levy a charge of bias, projection, stereotyping or whatever isn't even something I can take serious. You sound like an imbecile to me. No madam, what informs the bases of my responses is also what informs the images I have of the people I address. And, funny thing, having a private subjectivity, I feel I can address whomever I wish, whenever I want regardless of the degree of intimacy I have that person. My opinions are based on the aforementioned presuppositions, prejudices, prejudgments and hypocrisy that I read here. and nothing more.

If you really are a teacher, God help your students.

Good day to you.

"My opinions are based on the aforementioned presuppositions, prejudices, prejudgments and hypocrisy that I read here. "

This is what happens when stupid people try to sound smart.

I'm not female, or a schoolteacher, and you're not very clever. See ya!

Also, my comment about incels wasn't an ad hom, it was an analogy. You can look that word up, if you need to.

"PC fascists"

OK, dullard. You seem dull.

"I'm not female, or a schoolteacher, and you're not very clever."

lmao. Oh, well then my sincerest apologies to you sir for assuming that I was speaking to Miss Henson herself and not her entire 6th Grade class in it's totality. And I beg your pardon again for not being familiar with whatever the significance is to "Miss Henson's 6th...." cultural or otherwise. Please excuse me.

"Also, my comment about incels wasn't an ad hom, it was an analogy."

Right, right. I get you on that. Much like how I might also compare your own responses here to those of a brainwashed cultist engaged in the usual language games vying for small advancement in social stature. But, just an analogy bud. No adhominem, just an analogy. You can look that word up, if you need to. Because I certainly did not just call you a tool. That did not happen.

Oh boy, PoeTV has a new troll! Exciting times.

We will see if this is a long con or if this person is exactly as ignorant as they seem to be. I've got my eye on you, mister.

To his credit he seems genuinely passionate about being wrong, but that's not necessarily proof.

Oh god, the classic "Slavery existed outside of America! Did you know Africans sold their own people as slaves to the white man?"

The guy's been posting since 2011, so he's been stupid here for nearly a decade.

OH DEAR ME WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS SITE?! IT USED TO BE A PLACE OF ENLIGHTENED DEBATE ABOUT AMERICAN RACIST INSTITUTIONS NOT BEING A PROBLEM BECAUSE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADERS EXISTED!

I. Um. Woweee. I don't really post shit either and just have a minute, but

"A nation that outlaws slavery under a democratic system! We did that. And whether or not we continued to have a multitude of racial problems in this country, we did that."

is.. I dunno. I'm fuckin' gobsmacked. USA#1 ended slavery! Lynchings, segregation, Jim Crow, Forbidden interracial relationships, Tuskegee experiments, no coloreds allowed.

There's a guy where I work that voted Trump who said he was getting tired of the shitshow. Then says out loud, to my face "but at least there ain't a nigger in the white house anymore!"

Fuck you and your shitty American fantasy.

Oh c'mon dubz, you can feign more exasperation than that I'll bet. lol.
Yes, in spite of segregation, Jim Crow etc. the outlawing of slavery in America was still an amazing first step on the road to the, end of segregation during the civil rights movement and then eventually to electing our first black president. Guess what, since then, we've seen a marked decline in lynchings in this country, and a large part of that is because of the effective policing needed to enforce those laws.

Now the police are under attack because they accidentally shot Stephon Clark after he beat up his grandmother, smashes car windows, has the police called on him, runs from them, ignores their order to stop, run's into a backyard, is ordered to show his hands, continues to ignore, now reaches into his pocket, grabs an object (later found to be his phone) and got shot 7 times by police.

For a time, there was a fear of a race riot breaking out in Sacramento after the officers were acquitted of any wrong doing.

"Lynchings, segregation, Jim Crow, Forbidden interracial relationships, Tuskegee experiments, no coloreds allowed."

This list you just provided me is like a gift to comedy. Could you please find and pad it with even more terms that are equal in meaning to "Jim Crow"?


dubz: ""There's a guy where I work that voted Trump who said he was getting tired of the shitshow. Then says out loud, to my face "but at least there ain't a nigger in the white house anymore!""

Oh,well then you certainly represent the "impartial" part of the jury. After all, you know a Trump supporter that's also a brain dead asshole. Congrats!

Oh, I have an interesting correction. The Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert decided that the DA's office would not even be filing criminal charges against the police officers involved in Stephon Clark’s death. She stated that the officers had probable cause to stop and detain Clark and that they were legally justified in using deadly force against him.

The case was never even considered for a trial. Still upon announcement that no charges would be filed, Sac was in stand-by for a riot.

Reminder that Marlon Brawndo is a racist troll, GongWise is almost certainly his latest sock puppet, and he’s also probably the one spamming shit like “ Thomas Sowell - Intellectuals and Race” with the comment “The question is whether poetv has enough integrity to vote out of the hopper.”

In other words, the little shit can fuck right off. Just keep in mind who he is, and eventually he’ll flounce off the site again just like the last two times.

I want to once again thank you poetv and Hazelnut in particular for clearing up what apparently is an online schizophrenic soap opera involving multiple personalities and multiple accounts. In any case, thank you again, as you've helped to explain the hostile lack of objectivity from poetv. This whole time, I've been a straw man with someone else's named captioned above my head.

Okay, I'm not interested in sparing with someone who, upon encountering a person who disagrees with them, immediately hallucinates their online cyberbully and starts mindlessly flailing. I think that alone makes my point. If this Marlon Brawndo is a racist and supports Trump, then this is not a person I care for and who's politics are nothing close to my own. As I already stated above, (i realize you did not read anything I wrote) I did not vote for Trump, and I would never under any circumstances. Trump is a liar, a bigot, a racist, a hypocrite and probably has some form of latent mild psychosis.

Of course I submitted the above videos you listed. Of course I expected them to be voted down. There wasn't a reason to though. Could have voted them up like another Prager video and then critiqued it, but nope, there was a that invisible hand that herds everyone together in order to support each other in hypocricy and act as one. How beautiful. : )

"the little shit can fuck right off."

Oh, I'll fuck off, believe me.

Cheers!

Yup, even the same weepy self-pity as MB.

Gong, you can seriously take a look 'It's In a (history) Book'

In 1921 a bunch of black people did exactly like the Prager people said. They built themselves up and were successful! They were making it and had a wonderful up and coming community. And then white people got pissed off about this and sort of -murdered almost every single one of them-. And newspapers at the time boasted that should blacks ever get 'uppity' like this again they should get more of the same. That is the detail the PragerU video left out. "Go be successful but don't be too successful or we'll kill you." In other words there was/is a hierarchy established where POC are denied climbing all that way. Maybe a little, but not all the way. And this was enforced under pain of death. We as a society crushed these people. Over and over. That isn't virtue signaling. That is historical fact.

To have to reach back 98 years to find open public racism when recent examples from the civil rights era and on were at your disposal, tells me much about just how far you have traveled with your "insights" into the matter of race in contemporary America. In this case, the penetration of your acumen journeyed so incredibly far that it disappeared altogether. Nay, I can not see it at all.

Bitch, the war on drugs was designed specifically by the Nixon Admin to disenfranchise blacks. No need to go back 100 years, 50 years or 1 year, there are more blacks in jail for nonsense crimes RIGHT NOW than there were slaves at the height of the Confederacy.

From wikipeida: At the end of 2016, the Prison Policy Initiative estimated that in the United States, about 2,298,300 people were incarcerated out of a population of 324.2 million. This means that 0.7% of the population was behind bars.

From 1860 Census: The United States Census of 1860 was the eighth Census conducted in the United States starting June 1, 1860, and lasting five months. It determined the population of the United States to be 31,443,322, in 33 states and 10 organized territories. This was an increase of 35.4 percent over the 23,191,876 persons enumerated during the 1850 Census. The total population included 3,953,762 slaves.

Turn's out that crap about there being more black's in jail for nonsense crimes isn't even a mathematical possibility; just invented rhetoric designed to intimidate and startle. Okay, so Bill, first I'd like you to reflect on the fact that the current prison population is actually lower, (rotfl) than the total amount of slaves during the confederacy. Then, subtract from that population, the number who are black, and then subtract an additional percentage that you feel are incarcerated for "nonsense crimes" What exactly is the remainder? Holy smokes!

Be honest Bill, you keep that "war on drugs/racism" trope in the can, spring-loaded waiting for the right moment of attack or retreat to pop the top and unleash a virulent spray of social justice.

For review, simply for holding a different opinion and responding to rhetoric that grouped the tags, white people, nazis, assholes, racists, and evil together before I even responded, I have been called a Bitch, Incel and Stupid; I had an exchange with someone that thinks analogies cannot have as their aim a personal attacks; a man who makes statistics up betting nobody will challenge them; another fellow typing in all caps to make his point clearer.

You're right, you incel bitch. It should have read "under correctional control." It is not disputed, however, that the purpose of of the Drug War was to disenfranchise democratic-voting populations. You dumb incel bitch.

Ah, I see you gather most of your "facts" reading op-ed journalism from commercial websites. Sir, do you understand the differences between commercial journalism and academic journalism? Between what a .org is and what a .com is? Do you even know what peer-review is? Yes, I'm sure you do, but I hear to remind you.

"You're right, you incel bitch. It should have read "under correctional control."

Oh, I see. You're doing one of those, "well what I really meant to say was that....you were saying earlier...,but I should've said, but didn't before...but what I wanted to say....etc". Whatever. In any case, I take that as an admission of just how careless and sloppy you are when deploying your PC fascist rhetoric, intimidation tactics and moral bullying. Personally I think you're just push button machine of manufactured outrage and that this is the real reason why you end up making absurd statements like, "there are more blacks in jail for nonsense crimes RIGHT NOW than there were slaves at the height of the Confederacy." Whether you need to now change one of your terms to broaden the umbrella, the above statement is still bullshit. And you wrote it. And did so because you're without thought or care.

Let me ask you yet another follow up question. What do you now mean by "under correctional control"? That sounds so vague and broad to mean just about anything in order to accommodate any special brand of outrage. Come up with a figure and a definition and get back to me.

Saying "PC Fascist" over and over isn't going to make reality somehow conform to it. Fascism is what's currently being displayed by the right. PC as it stands today has absolutely no connection to communist roots. It simply means "don't be a bigot, show some fucking class". Anyone pretending otherwise is being willfully ignorant. I'm sure you can cherry pick some facebook comments to pRoVe HoW tHe LeFt ArE tHe REEEEEAL rAcIsTs but I guarantee any amount of shitty leftists voicing shitty opinions (there are a few) will be absolutely fucking drowned by how many unhinged right wing comments currently exist.

I don't see the left trying to resurrect fascism. Can't exactly say that about the right in America, can you? How many shrines to Rockwell do you figure exist on the left vs on the right?

Next you're going to tell me tHe kKk WaS sTaRtEd By DeMoCrAts

Hurf blurf wuhhh. So tedious.

"Saying "PC Fascist" over and over isn't going to make reality somehow conform to it."

Right. And certainly a decade of social media has overturned this bizarre notion that repetition of rhetorical nonsense has no effect on public opinion whatsoever. lol. I'm sorry, I just disagree with you. You don't have to agree with me, but speech, written language and rhetoric do in fact affect and are themselves affected by what you call "reality." Just take a look at your own declarative statement excerpted above. What is it that you wish to accomplish with your words here? What do you intend for them to "do" and "perform" for you? Given the opportunity you'd also simply repeat your claims over and over again in different variations, different forms, using different metaphors, different terms, would you not? Do you not wish for your own words to "catch" and reproduce like a virus? Isn't iterability "hard-baked" right into language (written or spoken) and rhetoric itself?

Language itself is not a private, but an entirely public affair. Ask yourself this; am I really the only person you address here? Likewise, are you so sure I wish to persuade you and you only? If I were to make a convert out of my foil, how could I then give exposition to my intended audience? Perhaps I wish for you to continue to be exhibit A. Think about it.

"Fascism is what's currently being displayed by the right. PC as it stands today has absolutely no connection to communist roots."

I'm sorry, this is almost incoherent. By fascism I mean an authoritarian system (in this case, ideological) that suppresses free speech through acts of coercion and intimidation.

"I'm sure you can cherry pick some facebook comments..."


I don't have a facebook account. Is that what you do?

gmork said, "...to pRoVe HoW tHe LeFt ArE tHe REEEEEAL rAcIsTs but I guarantee any amount of shitty leftists voicing shitty opinions (there are a few) will be absolutely fucking drowned by how many unhinged right wing comments currently exist."

I'll not even pretend that made sense. It sounds like your talking in about 5 different directions to 5 different imaginary people.

Oh boy, a pseudo-intellectual deciding to not respond to something because they can't be bothered to think. What a shocker.


Your hilariously uninformed textwall would have more of an impact if you managed to make even a single valid point. I can smell the failure and bitterness on you from here.

"Oh boy, a pseudo-intellectual deciding to not respond to something because they can't be bothered to think."

That was awesome. It's like I can hear some pride-wounded 6-year-old whimpering as he leaves the field and calling out behind him to the other boy, "You're a big dummy and a dumb, dumb too. And you think you're a smarty-pants; you're not a smarty-pants; You think you can think, well i'm a bigger thinker than you are."
lol.

Perhaps if you state your question clearly without alternating between upper and lower case, I might be able to answer you. Are you asking me about the right, the Alt-right? Or what I mean by fascism again? I don't know how the hell I managed to not at least answer that question. I mean the fuck is it? If you need to know, I'm currently a registered democrat, but may re-register as independent again. I did not vote for Trump and would never under any circumstances. In the last mid-terms, I voted all dems simply because I despised Trump that much. Is this the shit you wanted to hear? Or do you, along with the rest of poetv have no response other than a continuous running strawman? Go ahead, crucify the right, the alt-right, and the neo-cons. Doesn't affect me at all. Meanwhile, I asked about a dozen questions myself that were ignored? What about those?

"I can smell the failure and bitterness on you from here."

Where did you get all that nasty guff? So, whenever anyone sticks up for an idea, or a cause, or a tradition that's under attack, that must necessarily always indicate failure? You mean, simply because I volunteered to advocate for the defense, that means I"m bitter? I just want you to be clear on what you're saying. Take a look at how this discussion began. Are you all saying that when anyone disagrees with the notion that systemic, institutional racism are still problems in modern America, that means they're bitter by default? If that is so, haven't you adherred yourself to something more like a religious ideology that cannot ever be questioned under any circumstances? I don't think so. Sorry, I don't buy that nor am I interested having to accommodate all the flaccid rhetoric of self-defeatism the left has you programmed with.

"Your hilariously uninformed textwall would have more of an impact if you managed to make even a single valid point."

Which part and where exactly? If you're so keen on engaging questions, please tell me precisely where my incoherency is and I will try to make it clearer for you or provide some secondary sources.

"I said more words, therefore i win".

You are quite possibly the most quintessential pseudo intellectual I've ever come across.

Your only weapon, since intelligence is off the table, seems to be attempting to fatigue your opponent.

Thankfully you haven't said anything that can't be boiled down to narcissism and projection, so it's rather ineffectual.

How does it feel to be so wrong about literally everything?

troll said. It sounds like your talking in about 5 different directions to 5 different imaginary people.

It's fascinating how selfaware you aren't. That you were able to type that sentence and not immediately realize it's a mirror for your behavior shows the astounding power of cognitive dissonance.

Likewise, I am equally not impressed with you my friend. So, after you posted the first comment, you sat back for a minute and then realized you wanted to make an addendum? lol. Rather than engage on a single point, you opt to make a blanket dismissal and then call me stupid again.

Fucking coward. haha.

Reminder that Marlon Brawndo is a racist troll, GongWise is almost certainly his latest sock puppet, and he’s also probably the one spamming shit like “ Thomas Sowell - Intellectuals and Race” with the comment “The question is whether poetv has enough integrity to vote out of the hopper.”

It's like they don't realize how much like a caricature they sound. I have no trouble believing gong and Marlon are separate but equally worthless entities, but i wouldn't rule it out. I just don't see the benefit of him also being that toxic on his main. The idea of having a second account would be to attempt to create contrast so regular marlon looks more collected.

No, he might be a recurring character but i believe gong is separate. Not that it really matters.

This means so much to them, and so little to everyone else.

No way to know for sure, even less way to care, but they certainly have the same outlook / mannerisms / cadence, the same instant flip from race-baiting to self-pity.

GongWise, I am not a racist. But I have come back to this site on occasion to hear a bunch of white people tell me that I'm racist when in fact I'm not white and I'm actually experienced racism firsthand. White liberals love to accuse people of racism, even black and brown people of being "self hating" racists. Because you see, I'm racist against myself. Isn't that amazing!

The level of liberal cultism is truly astounding.

No, you’re a racist for all the deliberate race-baiting you shove on here followed by weeping and whining.

They’re the same level of bad, but one can be fixed with education while the other can only be fixed with beheadings

It literally is a combination of True Believer insanity coupled with cultural grifters who are hijacking the gullible right of this country.

This isn't speculation, I can name plenty of names. On the top levels, it's intentional and there's absolutely no loyalty to any ideology other than greed. The folks on the bottom however, are actually this stupid. And that's why it's working so well. They (or we, since I'm referring to America at large) have been successfully creating intellectual deadzones all across the country and this absolutely the consequence of that.

34% of black people support Trump now.

Fucking deal with it. Candace Owens is a hero. She's one of the most eloquent speakers I've ever seen and her talent shines in every clip she's in. When Ted Lieu called her a Nazi she put him in his fucking place. Because Ted Lieu is a stupid, brainwashed bitch who calls people Nazis at the drop of a hat. He shares a lot in common with people here. It's anti-intellectual garbage to call everyone a Nazi so good luck with how far that gets you in life.

Gallup says support for Trump among African Americans is currently hovering around 9-10%, lower than it ever got for Bush. I'd love to know where you retards get your alternate-reality statistics.

Chain emails

Trumpies will believe in anything that confirms their biases. It's a cult.

Downplaying the open courting of fascism and flagrant public displays of dogwhistle racism is exactly how the Weimar Republic handled it, and look how well things turned out for them.

Looks like Brawndo is still Hidin' That Power Level.

What do you do for fun now?

Yo momma

I do the same things for fun. I'm just less racist when doing those things.
