CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
I question the inherently fallacious notion that all nationalists are racist. I am a nationalist, white, and really do not care about skin color. Okay, you got me. I love black men. Other than that, I do not care about skin color. I am tired of the inference that I should view white or any other skin color as a negative.
Her point: The only time I am concerned with skin color is when I am dating.
Your point: She is concerned with skin color in cases dealing with dating preferences.
Y'all are literally saying the same thing. She never claimed she doesn't care about skin color. She just claimed that when it comes to matters beyond dating she doesn't care about skin color. That's what that "Other than that" means.
It was an inference I made based on her saying she loves black men...I am confident in assuming in saying she loves black men in terms of dating and not she loves black men to look at, or she loves black men to go fishing with, or she loves black men to play D&D with.
And even still she never claimed to care about skin color...she still only stated that she does care about skin color in terms of who she "loves" beyond that she does not care about skin color. You are still disputing against something she never said and ignoring that the "other than that" was meant to denote an exception to the rule.
CLEARLY she meant that generally she does not care about skin color...then she followed up mentioning a specific and rare instance where she does care about skin color and its regarding who she likes.
That's like saying "I like pie. I do not like cherry pie, but other than that, I love pie". Is it a contradiction? Yes, and using the law of contradiction you can make an inference as to what this person is REALLY saying. If you READ between the text and apply logic you can pull out an easy to interpret message.
1. They generally enjoy pie.
2. There is an exception to this rule.
3. That exception is cherry pie.
Therefore the author is REALLY saying: "I don't like cherry pie, but other than that I enjoy pies" or "I like non-cherry pies"
Reading between her text she is clearly saying
1. I generally don't care for color
2. There is an exception to the rule
3. When it comes to matters of who I love I prefer black men.
4. Other than that I don't care for color.
You are taking one thing out of context and ignoring the entire message that is being conveyed.
Lol, amazing how emotional people can get over literally nothing. Something as simple as this young lady not using precise language to convey her thought transpired into you bashing me to make yourself feel better. I don't know what this spell is I have over people, but dang it's some powerful stuff.
The only emotional one is you as you keep typing piles of nonsense in an attempt to avoid the inevitable as in you're a cowardly dog who was caught lying but typically try to cover up with walls of your usual meaningless bullshit.
Incidentally she agreed I was .....right .....maybe go and call her a liar now you dumb cunt
Thank you for admitting you are incapable of understanding you know what they say: "Smart people seem crazy to dumb people". It's perhaps because they are too dumb to understand or too weak-willed to try.
You are too stupid to understand anything a smart person says.
You are too stupid to understand how far away from smart you are. Start with learning how far the Moon is away from the Earth.
Probably why you live with your parents and play video games at age 40.
But I don't live with my parents (and haven't since I was 14 years old), the average age of a video gamer is 31 (you'd know that if you weren't stupid), and you've replied to the wrong comment in the first place you stupid retard.
Why don't you go and do something productive like freaking killing yourself? Your incessant bitching and whining reminds me of a spoilt six year old girl.
I never got on with my folks. Ran away at 14 and refused to go back. Spent the next couple of years bouncing around children's homes. Some of the best years of my life in actual fact.
I think it was about freedom for him and also because he felt ready to be his own man. he hitch hiked around the country trying to find himself an engineering job because he had studied on his own and felt he was ready but no one would hire him because he was a kid with no credentials. Eventually though he found a company that was willing to hire him because he showed them some technical drawings which proved he was smart enough.

Guy was a real genius. If it hadn't been for Peter Joseph the world might never have even known who he was. Sad that he died, even though he was really old and lived a full life. It wasn't even so much his intellect that impressed me so much as his wisdom. Kind of like a Mr Miyagi sort of character.
A friend and I wanted to meet him and become his successors but we never got a chance before he died. The Venus Project is in total stagnation now just as we predicted, and Roxanne just doesn't understand the RBE like him and I do. Jacque had a multi-phased plan which would ultimately culminate in an actual experimental city but without Jacque these people running TVP will never do it right if at all.
Part of the plan is to make a full length film which shows what an RBE might be like and how it might work, Peter wanted to be the one to make this film but he and Jacque actually got into an argument about it because according to Jacque he was trying to make it into his own thing instead of following Jacque's plan for it.
Fun fact, Peter Joseph debated Alex Jones on his show. It was a hilarious debate.
I am quite sure he doesn't care about you being white any more than he cares about me being black. I believe the reason why he is saying that is because he is an asshole that feels the need to correct people.

Don’t call me what your slut of a mother reared , by the way you need constant correction and I’m just providing a service .....now run along boy .....
Well, you posted an article about whether or not Trump is a white supremacist and not about whether or not Trump is racist. The words racist, supremacist, and nationalist are not all synonymous.
All white supremacists are racist, but not all racists are white supremacists. Nationalism is a whole other thing. White Nationalists (those believe in forming a white national identity) are different from American Nationalists (those believing in forming an American national identity). Nationalism is only racism when those nationalists seek to form a national identity around their race because they view other races to be inferior or their own race to be superior. White nationalists and Black nationalists sometimes are racist against other races, but raciam and racial nationalism are not mutually exclusive.
But American nationalism is not about a racial identity, its about an American identity. This could include members of all races, ethnicities, and skin colors.
Trump is definitely a nationalist, definitely xenophobic, seemingly racist against those with the racial make-up of Mesoamericans, seemingly anti-Hispanic, and could be an undercover white supremacist. I don't know if he thinks one race is superior or inferior, but I can see why Hispanic (not a race) people would think he has something against them.
I, as a black man, have never felt threatened by Trump or racially attacked.
Well, I am not saying you have to apologize for it. I just think if we are going to talk about Trump being racist while reading an article about white supremacy we might want to clear up the distinctions between each term. And in doing so, I thought to point out why I was bringing up the distinctions between each term.
No it isn't. Nationalism created a movement which caused a war in which 70 million people lost their lives. It's time you switched off Fox News and opened an actual history book. In the words of the great Albert Einstein: "Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."
I think globalism is a bad idea, therefore, I am a nationalist
LOL. Ahahahahaha!
I think Communism is a bad idea, therefore I'm a Nazi.
I already know you're a right winger Mingi. I also know that you care more about how mean or brutal someone's language overtly is than the disinformation being spread by right wingers and that you're too stupid to realize that many dangerous people will never admit how dangerous they are whereas relatively harmless people might say things that are extreme but only leave it as words.
I agree with your point that you don't want to debate the facts.
Just an FYI though. Spending your entire sad little life throwing every false accusation your small brain can think of at the left isn't a "point". That's simply called being a tool.
