    Who's this Veritis guy?

    Another non-stop consistent anti-obama thread posting wing-nut?

    ... hubpages really needs to work on this stuff.

    edit-  I realize I mistyped its name in the subject line. My bad.

            I can think of nothing more personally abusive than being called a racist yet I have been on here.  Does that warrant someone being banned?

                Isn't being called a racist about as filthy a name as one can be called.  How does one judge another racist based?  Isn't racist the expressed believe of one race's superiority over all others?  I open reject and say so every time the subject is broached, the notion of race, at all.  I do not understand how one man is different than another based solely on the difference in skin color.  That is not much of a difference.

                Yet I have been called racist.  Should I complain?

                    I don't believe in race and I believe those who hide behind it, in anyway, are scoundrels.  The idea of race and the charge of racism permits one the luxury of no longer having to defend a position intellectually.  Race trumps all arguments that is why it is so readily used as a means of squelching arguments, shaming opponents and rallying supporters.  Just ask the greatest race baiter of all time Adolf Hitler about race.  He was a big believer and an expert in using it as a weapon.  He is often imitated today.

                    That having been said if one is openly attacked because of their skin color this is a file crime that must be punished.

              Were you called a racist or was your comment called racist. A fine distinction perhaps?

                uncorrectedvisionposted 12 years agoin reply to this

                A distinction without a difference.  It is obvious that "racism" is a term so often used and misused that its meaning has been diluted and reduced.  It is a horrid thing to be racist though many people hold bigoted or ignorant views.  Was Archy Bunker a racist?  He held ignorant and bigoted beliefs but would he subscribe to the idea that one man is worth less than another merely because of his skin color?

                The dilution of the word has redounded to the benefit of race baiters, a common group on Hubpages.  If one expresses any doubt about Barry's actions in office, his attitudes toward America or his qualifications for elective office than one is automatically a racist?  If one merely ironically calls Barry a Muslim than one is automatically a racist?  As if Muslim is a pejorative attached only to one race and suggests their inferiority.

                The use of the term racist, itself, suggests a lack of insight and understanding as well as a penchant for hateful terms.  But as a practitioner you would know that.

                  There is no doubt that racism is the source of a certain amount of anti-Obama sentiment. There are plenty of other sources--pro-lifers, global warming deniers, anti-taxers, anti-stem cell researchers, isolationists, end-of-lifers, anti-gay rightsers, pro-gun rightsers, anti-immigrantsers, birthers, truthers, drill, baby drillers, creationists, anti-Muslimers, abstinence onlyers, lock 'em up and throw away the keyers, anti-welfarers, anti-unioners, anti-environmental regulationistsers. absolutist free marketeers. What's the source of your objections to Obama?

                    uncorrectedvisionposted 12 years agoin reply to this

                    There it is.  "There is no doubt..."  I have doubts because the charge is of such a grievous nature that I don't subscribe to its assertion unless I hear it or read it. Someone merely asserting that it is so is insufficient.

                    Then the second component of the attack.  Placing the target on the defensive.  "What are your reasons...."  The implication is that the other person must defend their objection to prove they are not a bigot or a racist.



                    Check the stereotyping and shorthand needed to express ones own personal prejudices about ones opposition.  Couched in negative terminology and over simplifying.  I will not defend myself to anyone who asserts the racism and bigotry of others are the reason for their opposition to political policies.

                  "A distinction without a difference."
                  No, there is a difference. Someone can make a racist crack unwittingly, perhaps being genuinely unaware of the racial overtones of his comment. For example, there used to be a chain of restaurants called "Sambo's," and its mascot was a black boy, the hero of a folktale who somehow managed to turn a tiger into butter. (Yeah, it's all kinds of confusing.) Anyway, the mascot was very minstrel-show-y, and the restaurant either renamed itself or went out of business entirely, I don't know which.

                  The reason I told you that story was so I could tell you this story. I once worked with a Black guy called Sam. The folks at work would call each other by nicknames. I called Sam "Sam-I-Am" one time, after the Dr Seuss character. One of our coworkers called him "Sambo," and was surprised when Sam was offended. (He didn't know about the restaurant or the folktake in question.) Once he understood, he apologized, saying he had no idea. Sam accepted the apology (as one should when no offense is intended).

                  That's an example of the difference between saying something racist and actually being a racist.

                  Back to the whole racism as a compnent of anti-Obama sentiment, if you haven't seen the signs with Obama as a witch doctor, the one about the african lion and the lyin' african, and the many many other signs and slogans with racial overtones, you haven't been paying attention.

                  The racist anti-Obama folks are out there there; their existence is undeniable. Most intelligent people do not care about Obama's race. But there are some morons out there that care very deeply. Here are a few examples, so you won't accuse me of making unsupported assertions:

          For making a personal attack against another hubber as opposed to attacking a political office holder or celebrity. Name calling among hubbers is frowned on. The objective, in my opinion, is or should be informed, fact based, high level, congenial, respectful discussion among participants.

                Sometimes, you just need to vent though too. I get on here for that reason. This is where I find the people on the other side, break down their arguments, and let off some political steam. Originally, I thought it would be a debate of actual issues, that when really discussed we would end up being closer than initially thought. However, upon spending time here...there aren't too many opposing viewpoints who present a viable argument, much less actual resources for their arguments.

              Sn53anon was accused of racism and permanently banned. Why? the phrase "the boy president". It seems that liberals, who live in the past, believe that could only be racist. In fact it is an accurate description of the very childish president we are unfortunately stuck with until the end of this term.

              The charge of racism is still a powerful tool used, mostly by those on the left, to stop speech they disagree with.

                It is a bit hilarious that you believe you have the actual story on virtually everything, but are always wrong or ridiculous. Take the "boy president" argument. Do you work for HB? Did you ban her? Did you talk to the person who banned her? Did you read any documentation provided by HB explaining specifically why she was banned?
                No dude, no Shannon you can't. You don't believe in a legally certified and published birth certificate but we are to buy you know the mind of others. Wait, if you used to work on Johnny Carson and wore a big hat then okay, we might buy it.

                  Is this an example of your willingness to discuss issues? I have informed opinions. I like them. They work for me. Your mileage may vary (I stole this from someone; I have always liked it).

                  Isn't that a perfect description, along the lines of "the Boy who would be King"? President Obama displays childish behavior, only occasionally slipping into adulthood, before reverting to the child that he is.

                  I do not know about HB. Was that a person here?

                  Perhaps you are rambling. I cannot tell. That, in itself is a bad sign. You should see someone about it.

                    You are selling the idea without backup and resources, being that the ones you use end up being incorrect (i.e. Israel was attacked in the 6-Day war). Propaganda is your product my man. Sad, but true.

          But I know many well-read people, but not one of them keeps score as you say you do.

            Do NOT be intimidated. It just means I can stick to a task until I have completed it.

            It is the engineer in me. I love metrics. I create mind maps of nearly every book I read. And I document my chapter notes as personally made .mp3 files.

            Metrics. I document them three ways. I have an index card for each one. I use it as a sort of bibliographical number so I can annotate the number and the page number on the notes I take. I also write the number in the books as I finish them. In my early years I would see "#271, first read: 22 August 1976. Worth another scan in five years." I am up in the easy thousands now. And I write the title on a calendar ledger I use for that purpose with the starting and ending dates for any specific book.

            LOL. No. I explained elsewhere that when I was starting my second company we wanted Veritas but it was taken. So we consulted with some Latin-competent people we knew and decided that Veritis was an acceptable alternative. That became the name of my second company. When I started this on-line identity I decided to use it.

            When my daughters were younger we would often color the illustrations in the books I read to them. We used colored pencils. We initialed our finished drawings. It is a sweet memory for me. And, I think, for them too.

                They are doing the things they are well matched for. My oldest daughter is a people-person. She can make friends in five seconds. Anywhere. Anytime. Under any circumstance. She is an attractive woman. She is much like my wife. My youngest daughter is far smarter than I am. She is also drop dead beautiful. She takes after me in many ways. She is thoughtful, deliberate, detail-oriented, and talented. I am grateful for both of them.

                  Can I have your oldest's phone number?  I am a bit of a people person myself.

                  Who knows?  Someday I may end up calling you Dad Veritis.

                You do realise that you are probably autistic in some way ?  This is not a put down or insult - just that the way you note everything and send yourself notes from the past in your books  (worth a read in 5 years), the relationship you describe with your daughters etc - all point to it.  My brother in law would think in a similar way and he was suffering from a mild autism, he was a really nice guy in truth but his adherence to rules and certain concepts was absolute and unwavering.

                  I pay attention to details. If I am I would wish it upon most of you. It is at the core of my success.

                  I did not take it as a put down. I seldom credit people with bad motives. I try to learn from everything. Cool though. I never considered my attention to detail to be a bad thing.

    Another thread, useless in purpose, about hubbers who post. What relation each has and who plays the ban game is meaningless when you consider their actions, and the format in which they use for a playground.

    Why bother giving them even more attention by dedicating a thread to them? hmm

        Well, I can say from what I've seen so far from you, you're right, you are all about "me". Not surprising.

            Be careful. lol Your perception is obviously skewed, if you had any hopes for me. lol Too bad you lack the understanding. lol
            Getting what right? I don't have a need to know if you're some clown who likes to play the race card whenever possible. I don't have a need to know who you are at all.

            Therefore, YOU make no difference in the larger picture. Which, I am sure escapes you, since you have a problem seeing beyond yourself. But, good luck with it.

              There is that leftist charge once again. Where have I played "the race card"? Perhaps your disinterest is the reason why you come close but seldom get it right.

              I have made no claims of making a difference. Not in the large picture. Not in the small picture. Thanks for you thoughts.

                I did not say you did play the race card. Just like, I didn't call YOU a clown?

                I don't know what you are, much less, know who you are. The race card is constantly thrown around the forums. Considering it is a public forum, one might expect to see or read, in or from, the posts posted.
                My interests are not something you could understand. This is apparent. And, I already can see why you don't understand. Too bad you cannot.

                I see, appreciate the feedback and learning experience. It was rewarding. You don't understand, and now it is obvious to everyone else who is actually paying attention. And that, to me, is priceless.

        The "them" refers to the myriad clones that your posts honor by their predictability.
        You are an archetype, a cliche, representing a larger body of sychophantic haters that really have no issues that matter to them save one; the removal and villification of our current president.
        Some have the audacity to speculate why, as the odds that every possible decision the president makes is inevitably wrong flies in the face of reasonable statistics.  We all know the hate for the man himself is at the root, but the why is a matter of conjecture.
        People can make informed assumptions, though.

    If the Nazis were socialist why were they supported by many if not most western pro-capitalist anti-socialist industrialists?

    There is no glossary of ban-worthy words or phrases here on HP.
    It's an imaginary line you either cross or you don't.
    If you keep your cool and keep your comments just this side of personal, you can manage a pretty good insult.
    If you let someone get under your skin and snap, you may or may not be reported.
    If someone says something to you that you feel is a personal insult (or says something to someone else that you feel is a personal insult), report them.
    Or grow a thicker skin.
    And apply some silver polish to your tongue. smile.

    "why would Northeastern Jews vote for someone who is anti-semitic? "

    Do you think if you say this enough, it makes it true?

    Palestinians are semitic....Europeans are not.

    YOU are the anti-semite!!
