I smell troll.

OK, tell me why you think I hate white people.

That's a bizarre statement, made totally out of blue.

So far as I know, we haven't even met here until right now.

The troll suggestion (which I am not sure of yet) was not about "why you think I hate white people" (I think).  But you posted a lot of irrelevant video crap and that is a typical troll thing.  So you might want to reconsider that habit.

Is "irrelevant video crap" an objective value judgement or a subjective value judgement?

When the first words out of somebody's mouth upon meeting them is that I hate white folks, I'm inclined to believe that that is their main point. 

I'm inclined to go with what somebody actually says, not interpretations by others.

For the record, this was the complete statement:

"OK, you don't like white people. What else do you have in your quiver, for our enlightenment? BTW, the large font just makes you look stupid and angry.

"irrelevant video crap" is a personal opinion and I stand by it. It seems to me that your frequent videos often have little to do with the discussion of the subject. Indirection and distraction is something that trolls typically do, though, so you should keep that in mind.

I will say that I am finding little value in your posts.

As for the rest, those were not my statements. Also, I routinely delete links to videos in my replies just to not promote them...

[pythagorean]

Cool.

Does that mean I shouldn't expect a reply?

I remain curious enough to continue for the day. So some questions... Do you actually mostly communicate with videos? I suppose that is possible, but I never see/hear anything in them that applies to discussion. I wonder what you expect them to reveal about your thoughts. When you mention the devil, what sort of being are you thinking of? When you say you are an atheist, is the devil involved in that? Is there some level of general deism or spiritualism involved?

Um.........wrong thread.

Don't worry, I've done that before, too.

You should realize, though, that some things are cultural.

And some things, we just don't talk about.

Especially not in Florida.

Very good. Now stop posting Spanish shit and say something.

It wasn't a "wrong thread".  What you say in one can apply to another.  As you are "you" in every post, what you say in one applies everywhere.

Many things are cultural.  That doesn't mean they are beyond discussion.

"And some things, we just don't talk about".  This is a discussion forum.  We talk about anything and everything.

How does "Florida" matter?

No point.

It must be difficult and kind of sad living with/while being angry most of the time but, OK........... buh-bye.

I agree.

I just don't understand how atheism took this angry fundamentalist turn.

When I was a kid, fundamentalist atheism wasn't even a thing.

We certainly didn't go around whining about how people hate white folks.

We didn't spend our time complaining about other cultures and other languages.

It just seems so oxynmoronic.

Fundamentalism seems to be related to antiintellectualknownothingism, whether it's Christian fundamentalism, atheist fundamentalism, or whatever.

bold mine: Who is we? To me it appears that you're the one complaining and hating.

More to the point, after stating this forum (form?) was not for you, you're still here.

Ha!

This reminds me of when I first me my wife, back in 1996, a quarter century ago.

They tried to kick us out of the country, with a 10 year ban on even applying for reentry. (We lived out of a suitcase for two years.)

They claimed that my wife was "illegal", but in actually, there's no such thing as an illegal person.

They had to go back centuries in history just to find the notion.

Back when my wife's ancestors first started running away from their masters in the early 1500s.

The proper term for people in my wife's culture is "cimarrones", not "illegals", as many newfangled white atheists claimed in the early 21st century, back when they were openly promoting the use of racist epithets like the I-Word against people like my wife, just because of her identity.

In doing so, they helped to pave the road for tfg.

The disastrous, forgotten 1996 law that created today's immigration problem


The immigration reform Hillary Clinton wants could be limited — or even undermined — by a law her husband signed.

OK, you don't like white people. What else do you have in your quiver, for our enlightenment? BTW, the large font just makes you look stupid and angry.

What evidence (besides white fragility and white defensiveness) do you have that I don't like white folks?

Just because I married a woman from a Black culture?

Yeah, I know.

But there's racism in the real world as well, not just online. 

Of course, they do tend to re-enforce each other.
