I think the far left and far right are equally as bad
one tries to slander 1 as racist and the other tries to slander the other as full blown authoritarian communist. no difference 2 sides of the same coin
everyone else is seeking balance
Then you have threads like this where the right is attempting to slander the left as being racist, ironic considering the right feels like the left is slandering them for being racists.
Either way, you have a small, but vocal, group of extremist on both sides looking for anything to paint the other side as monsters.
And you have extremists who claim to be centrists who don't have the ballz to make a stand on their beliefs because they are scared to out themselves as individuals. Thus they remain silent.
No need to project dude... we all know your posting history.
Care to elaborate on that? Doubt you even comprehend what I meant....
Elaborate?
I think I was insinuating that you come across as pretty much hard right-wing... yet claim to be central.
Does it now make me a bigot? Cause I went out of my way to explain the intention of my original comment, in a basic manner, for your benefit?

Do you feel like it helps you get liked to seem stupid to other people who don't know you?
No. But I also don't like football. Many people do.
And?
I don't like soccer. Many people do.
Soccer sucks unless you're in another country where it's the only sport.
I will amend my statement above. Soccer can be fun to play, but it's no fun to watch. Also, the word's custom of playing up how hurt they are every time they get touched to try to draw penalty cards is unmanly.

Bogus study made from analyzing campaign speeches. Perhaps interviews with minorities would have yielded more reliable information. Stupid Academics...!
What are you calling academics?
The people from Yale that designed the study. You should read it....

Your idea of categorizing me into a box based upon what you think of me is pointless, because I don't care what you think of me.
That very comment just proves you are one of the very few that are worth the effort of quoting/responding too... lol.

Yale lost credibility when they stopped preparing students for the real world. I can't take them any more serious that I take the Daily News with Bat Boy.
ETA: I believe it was also Yale who just had a black only graduation and graduation dinner party, no whites allowed. Yes, great data they have I'm sure.

Oh! I get it now. I just have to dumb myself down a bit and forget about logic when trying to understand what you are trying to get across?

We're not talking about changing how we interact, but changing the words we use to mask our competence. That is a specific type of interaction.
Dupree and Fiske suspect that the behavior stems from a liberal person’s desire to connect with other races. One possible reason for the “competence downshift,” as the authors describe it, is that, regardless of race, people tend to downplay their competence when they want to appear likeable and friendly.

Hit a nerve, eh?
I guess the truth is only told in studies that are pro-liberal.

Yea, seen it all before. Minorities that stray away from the Progressive tyranny get called Uncle Toms and many other names....
