4588686 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 There is a 3rd option. We can deport him and his family back to Russia like we should have done years ago and we could crack down on Chechen immigration. I can't think of a solution that would be a bigger deterrent than this. It would have been a good strategy to follow after 9/11 as well. Unfortunately, stopping terrorism isn't always the goal and where it is the goal, it isn't always the priority. After 9/11, rather than actually cracking down on muslim immigration here ("it would be racist"), we'd rather just bomb them there, send kids off to die, and eviscerate our bill of rights. It would be racist. And you are clearly a racist. RRAAAACCIIISSSSMMMMMMMMMMMM, YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRAAAACCIIISSSSMMMMMMMMMMMM, YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Well, initially it seems pretty racist, and is probably racist, but it might not be racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotreDame Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Yep, I'm racist against a religion (???) because I want to deport some immigrants. It's horrible, I know... So instead of that, let's go bomb arabs and afgahnis, cuz that's not racist at all. And let's also de facto repeal the 4th ammendment and implement a police state beginning with airports, internet, and cell phones. Because the last thing we want is for anyone to call us racist.

Ice_nine Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Muslim is a religion and not a race, so I don't think racist would be the right word here /semanticsgameslulz I've seen Hasan quibble over the term "race" before, and I think he believes that Islam constitutes as a race or is tied to race in some way. People act like race is cut and dry but the terminology can get pretty dicey. Race is actually kind of a "new" phenomenon relatively speaking, within the context of human history. There were always different clans and tribes and stuff but . . . I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. Because by pointing out that your rant about us needing to deport the families of murderers if those murders belong to the wrong ethnic group and to block Muslim immigration to the US is racist I'm supporting the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Believe it or not it is possible to both not support American militarism abroad and to also not support racist immigration and deportation policies domestically.

There were always different clans and tribes and stuff but . . . I don't know. That's about right. "Race' is a term used for a social construct that was developed in a paradigm with a vastly poorer understanding or genetics and anthropology. The term doesn't really lign up with anything we have now. But the function and mindset encompasses a number of attitudes that people can hold towards large aggregates of other humans.

NotreDame Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Seriously, this is getting stupid to the point of being irredeemably boring. Hasan, Islam is not a race. It's a religion. Judaism is both a race and a religion. Race is not a social construct. If these things have to be explained to you, then your brain is broken. Deporting people with passports from countries that have a higher incidence of terrorism is not racist. It's common sense, but idiots like you call it racism because your brains don't work right. It's not a false choice I'm presenting, it's the reality that US congress and senate unanimously chose to bomb an impoverished country of brown people which produced zero, none, nada of the 9/11 bombers. And proponents of playing the race card (Biden, Hillary) also voted to bomb Iraq, another country of brown people (which also produced zero, none, nada of the 9/11 bombers.) Strangely, none of these people are called racist for their votes. Yet, I recommend we deport some immigrants and I'm... wait for it... racist. Of course, I was just trolling, because I knew that somebody out there was dumb enough to latch on to it, I just didn't think it was going to be you. We are only having to debate whether to put this Russian kid to death because your genius neighbors in DC didn't have the sack or the brains to deport him and his welfare-receiving family after getting numerous, specific warnings from traditional intelligence channels. As a result of their mind-blowing incompetence, we got a terrorist attack in a major US city, we have a stupid debate over what to do with this kid, and the government has a reason to throw out the bill of rights in the name of "security." When we make stupid choices, we end up have to make really unfortunate choices later. This is one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4588686 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Once we've addressed your weird, 19th century views that there exist sub-species of people then we can move on to the general intellectual incoherence that pervaded the rest of your rant.

4588686 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 If you don't believe in race, then please quit using the term "racism." Racism exists even if race as a biological category in the human population doesn't. Think it through. But let's focus on your claim which you stated quite adamantly. Since you're claiming that 'race' is not merely a social construct but is 'real' I would like to know how many races exist in the human population and what those races are.

NotreDame Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Race is an imprecise term to describe physical differences that result from genetics, but however imprecise, it's still pretty useful, which is why people use it and it's derivatives (eg. 'racism') all the time. Even with that level of ambiguity, it's still precise enough to see that "muslim" is not a race. And if you don't like people using the word, change starts at home. Quit using the word "racist." Edited February 1, 2014 by NotreDame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
