Tell you what THIS white supremacist liberal is gonna do [View all]

I'm gonna tune out the noise and subterfuge, the confused or false agendas, the slams based on evolving rationales and shifting expectations, the cynical takedown a liberal icon... And push to make Bernie Sanders the next POTUS. Because in my opinion, it's in our collective best interest, and in particular in the best interest of PoC.

Thanks for the laugh...well done! nt haikugal Aug 2015 #114

"the "white supremacists" were the ones who didn't clap when Marissa spoke." beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #117

As far as I can tell, that is josh's own embellishment. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #119

Oh I know. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #120

No, that's language used in black academia. joshcryer Aug 2015 #147

Do they use citations in "black academia"? Because you cited nothing but your own opinion. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #149

Umm, again, you've learned nothing. joshcryer Aug 2015 #151

LOL. Other people's posts are cited, so yours don't have to be? Ridiculous. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #153

Are you really pretending to be that naive? joshcryer Aug 2015 #155

It was YOUR writing, not a quote. YOU called people "white supremacists". Your ruse is pathetic. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #157

Hey, the OP is calling themselves that. joshcryer Aug 2015 #160

Sure did. With quotes. joshcryer Aug 2015 #146

You used scare quotes, but the sentiment was yours. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #148

Were you scared? joshcryer Aug 2015 #152

Nope. I quoted your crappy post in its entirety so you couldn't self-delete. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #154
