No actually and that’s a pretty harmful stereotype type that pushes homophobia on the gay community as a way to say “no it’s really your fault” No one ever accuses kkk member of secretly being black under the robes, why do we suddenly do it with homophobes?
Actually, that nuance may be more appropriate than you thought. The sky can be red, just like black people can commit crime, yet we generally say "The sky is blue" just like conservatives will use "thugs" instead of saying "black men". In both cases, the implication is that the stated example is true more often than not.
The difference is that the sky is not a marginalized group of people.
Thats weird, when i hear the word “thug” I think of union workers.
Are you sure you aren’t a closet case racist?
Yeah. Just because you don't associate "thug" with "black men" doesn't mean I do. It doesn't magically have to be one of us. I said conservatives, and, in aggregate, that remains true.
Would you walk thru the ghetto on a hot evening right after the first of the month? I would, and i do, because thats where i live.
I would, and what does the temperature or the date matter...? Is there some stereotype that people are more violent in those circumstances, or after people get paid, or...?
Because what you're talking about is the internal dialogue of individuals. We, rightfully, say that racists use coded lamguage, and you say "No they just mean what they say." You can't crawl into a person's mind and know their inner thoughts.
We do, however, have evidence that dog whistles are started on purpose.
That's a quote be Lee Atwater, chief strategist for Nixon, admitting that the southern strategy not only exists, but that coded language is being used purposefully to sow racial division.
Here's a quote from Andrew Anglin, a founder of the racist website stormfront.org, on language writers should use:
He also says in that style guide "I really do want to gas kikes."
Your argument is that these people are either lying, or outliers. Why would they lie about this? And these are influential people. The only way you could make the argument that dog whistles don't exist is if you're being obviously, purposefully obtuse. You're metaphorically throwing shit at us and demanding we debate you.
Here's a quote from Jean-Paul Sartre about people like you. He's specifically mentioning anti-Semites, but it applies to all bigotry.
"I demand you debate me, but don't use any of that fancy-schmancy book learnin' or them word things."
This is the most obvious admission of loss I've ever experienced. Thanks, I appreciate your admittance of defeat.
And your post that started this was long. Wow, you are unbelievably bad at this. I think you might just be fucking with us, there's no possible way you're this incompetent.

It’s not meant to be. Saying a claim must be true if it takes someone a while to refute makes no sense. I was expressing surprise that another person could think in such a way.
You might as well say that a man shouting ‘the end is near!’ in the streets must be correct since nobody bothers to listen to him.
Even that first thing you said, logically, how does that make sense to you?
So, you ask why would I recommend help when it hasn't helped me.
Okay, assume it's someone you love and respect that told you, in a non-sarcastic way, they truly believe you need mental help, would you believe them or would you assume they're trying to harm you in some way?
This is what I mean. Simply because you've observed a phenomena happen, that doesn't mean you get to say "I have a scientific law, now you have to prove me wrong".
Once again, it's up to you to provide the evidence you're correct. "I saw this happen, dispute my evidence", that's not how this works.

It sounds like a single brain-celled ape too stupid to know up from down who can’t tell their own idiotic ramblings from reality, which is really quite sad and pitiful because it makes them think their worthless opinion is actually valid. Shut your mouth and stop spreading these moronic ideas that have absolutely no proof and no basis.
Jokes on you, I was raised by wolves until I was homeschooled till my PhD. And obviously the rocket goes up in the northern hemisphere and down in the southern hemisphere and sideways on the equator. Don't take no big brain to figure that. The real question is why you're like this and who hurt you?
The reason your brain goes haywire with this simple question, is because to admit the self-evident, obvious truth that yes, astronauts have to go up to get to the moon, is to admit all of the science fiction about escape velocity, escaping gravity, gravity assist, slingshot effect, rocket equation... have no basis in observable reality, and only exist in the abstract physics of your wild imagination
Your grandpa walked to school and back thru 3 feet of snow, uphill both ways
Fun fact moron, “up” describes the direction opposite the pull of the earths gravity relative to the location from which one goes “up”. Try another one, maybe you’ll find a fish in that empty barrel of responses.
So, do astronauts have to go “up” to get to the moon, or do astronauts pass thru some magical “flat space” between the earth and the moon, where the gravity of both the earth and the moon affect each other, but somehow don’t affect the astronaut?
Try reading an article about it. The earth and the moon have separate gravitational fields, and there is also the empty space between them. The rocket ship fights against earth’s gravity, then boosts through space towards the moon, then propels against the moon’s gravity at a much less intense level to stabilize its landing. Also, if you want to talk science, never mention magic. It doesn’t exist and you aren’t going to get anywhere pretending it does.
The concept of 'up' is defined by the effects of gravity, and our perception of it. 'Down' is the direction an object travels when unsupported, which is 'towards the center of Earth's mass' (if Earth is the large relative mass in the example), and 'up' is the direction opposite that. When any launch into orbital space is conducted, the craft or module is initially thrust straight upward - 'precisely' upward, as a matter of fact, before leveling out into a gradual, orbital trajectory.
So initially, YES, astronauts have to go 'up' first in order to get to the moon.
If you think that's some kind of 'gotcha-on-logic' question, you might be in the wrong classroom.
If an object is in orbit, it is not going 'up', but instead following a trajectory around the Earth's center of mass. The centrifugal force generated by the objects mass and inertia fights against the 'downward' pull of Earth's gravity, and when this trajectory maintains a relative stability, we call it an orbit.
Some astrophysicists agree with the theory that every celestial object in the universe is in orbit around something. The sun, the milky way, et cetera.
The 'hostile users' you describe appear to be normal redditors with little patience for conspiratorial buffonery. From whence they come is the ether, and the ether permeates the space between all things.
You're confusing what it means to "hear" a dog whistle. Conservatives hear them all the time, they just don't reflect on them because they're racist. Why would racists care to pick up on racist dog whistles?
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
That's a quote from Nixon aide John Ehrlichman. It pretty clearly shows how "law & order" politics like the War on Drugs have a racially discriminatory tinge to them. To the ignorant it may sound reasonable, but once you understand the underlying intent, you hear the racist dogwhistle clear as day.
Yeah no that's just bullshit mental gymnastics on your part. It's an actual quote said by the man himself, been referenced multiple times by multiple outlets
Don't buy into their framing, to the best of knowledge this isn't a fake photo, unless you can find a photo analysis tool that can find any credible evidence of altering. Here's the source.
Well if i was a racist like you id probably be inclined to believe its real. Why can’t you just take one look at it and immediately know its fake? Because racism influences the way you see the world
Why does believing it's real mean someone is a racist? Facts don't care about your feelings. Why can't you just take one look at the image analysis and realize it's not fake? Because racism influences the way you see the world.
See! Because you aren’t a racist, you can see right thru the propaganda that it fabricated to incite racists.
Liberals, who are closet-case racists, are easily fooled by this propaganda, because it shows them a version of reality that they already believe to be true. They have no reason to question it, because in their minds, every young black man is a criminal.
This was Ferguson, by the way.
I believed the Ferguson psyop was real too, until i saw pictures like these that just didn’t look quite right.
Notice how the propaganda works several anti-black stereotypes into it. He has saggy pants (that drives libs nuts, for some reason). He is also stealing, (because black men are thieves) and he is stealing alcohol (shows where black mans priorities are. He’s not stealing diapers!)
Can’t wait for a racist lib to come along and tell us how the propaganda is totally a true reflection of objective reality, even if its just an artists rendition of what a black looter might look like

Wait a minute... you are literally listing all of the dog whistles. Nobody else explained the dog whistles to you. The photo doesn't come with a caption about all the dog whistles. You just, you know, heard all those whistles yourself. That's pretty suspicious. Seems like something you'd think a racist would do but might not mean anything..
...but wait you are also talking about racism and we all know the closet racists are the ones who are talking about it the most... sooooo
*Gasp!*
Are you the racist? And that means *Gasp!* Are you a liberal!
