    You see, Fred there are things we agree on...that's a start. But your arguments are purposefully obtuse, I would find a cave and yell obscenities at the walls. They would probably even echo your sentiments WITHOUT censorship.

    Fred is just mad that I'm always right all the while being left ... handed that is.

    Ego manifestations? It's that virus that 'He who should go unnamed' always referred to...As I once stated, projection is probably one of the biggest and most unrecognized social problems going.

    It is, indeed, and it would appear that Project Avalon is currently going through the same thing. The mods over there are well aware of the situation, but with a member base far bigger than ours, it's also almost impossible to deal with.

    Hi Aragorn,

    Would you post the link to comment #55, I would like to cordially invite Jake from Project Avalon to The One Truth for a discussion.

    Systemic Racism in America

    Now we’ve got the term ‘systemic racism deniers’ being thrown around by people who haven’t even bothered to define what it is in any coherent way yet. The only example Catsqoutl has given so far is an anecdotal story of a brown girl in white school that has jokes said to her.

    That’s not an example of ‘systemic racism’, that’s an example of ‘human nature’. Any minority kid in a majority school would face the same problem.

    Holding white people to an unrealistic idealised standard, one that no other skin colour is capable of giving is a form of ‘systematic racism’ in itself. White guilt isn’t going to change human nature and attitudes towards black people that the Chinese hold for instance.

    Slavery from a couple hundred years ago is used as an example while ignoring the slave trade thats alive and kicking in Africa to this very day. All while ignoring the systemised rape and murder of white farmers in modern day Africa.

    It’s this myopic, one-sided compassion that I find nauseating. The head in the sand over all the other issues in the world to focus on something as trivial as a jokes being made. The horrors.

    Can someone who thinks ‘systemic racism’ is a genuine thing, and not just a divisive tactic ruled out by the ‘system’ overlords, please give it a succinct definition, with a couple poignant examples of how it’s affected you or your community personally. Once we’ve got that baseline then we’ll be able to determine whether it’s a legitimate cause or not.

    Um, I'm not sure what you want me to do, NotAPretender. Also, Jake is a former Project Avalon moderator, and I'm not so sure he'd want to join up here.

    The forum software does not allow for guest accounts. That would be an open invitation to spam.

    Fact checking is something media has done for a long time. The platforms we are discussing should do it just as much as newspapers or businesses.

    We are adults who can discern and decipher. So when I see a screw-up and the entity in question does nothing to correct it, I suspect them more.

    If they do something to correct it that's much better.

    I still use my critical thinking skills since that's all of our responsibility.

    So when Twitter fact-checks, I'm most likely assessing that as well as the original statement. Then I can learn more about the value of the fact-checks being offered.

    I do know that some people just take folks at their word. And those are the people who end up being taken advantage of and/or betrayed because they refused to use their God-given powers of thought and discernment.

    The idea that I would just trust Twitter's fact-check is pretty dumb. I hope most people aren't that dumb.

    The problem these days is that people don't care about facts anymore. Hence "fake news".

    I got accused of NLP when I was trying to discuss facts. The 'shoot the messenger' fallacy is in strong force these days.

    Pfff, neither of you can match my censorship and my tyrannical abuse of admin power on this forum, not to mention my "extreme progressive socialistic ideology".

    How many folks have bought into the illusion leading themselves to be full of mist? (thinking of the German word here)
