Description

It's only the third day of August and multiple cases of shootings, stabbings and hate crimes have dominated the news. As we all know, the perpetrators are always white people. Yes, criminal behavior takes place in some form or fashion everyday, but the common denominator is always white people. I keep asking in these debates, "why do whites commit so much crime?" It's a question that most people have yet to logically answer.

From the Garlic Festival Shooting to the El Paso Shooting, white people have reverted back to "Dark Age" behavior. It has gotten so bad to where members of congress are labeling white people as Dometic Terrorists, which is a title that's long overdue because whites commit the most crime. These are just some of the high-profile cases so you can only imagine how much crime whites commit that doesn't get any news coverage.

My stance on this matter is that I support congress/politicians' labeling white Americans as domestic terrorists. The evidence is right before our eyes, and I've proved on numerous occasions that these people are criminal minded to the highest degree...If you can prove otherwise, then you're welcome to take this challenge.

@Wylted

Yeah, we crackers are a scourge. All we do is rob liquor stores while drinking fried kool aid and collect our food stamps.

@Wylted

XD

I hate how white people commit so much crime. I don't feel safe walking through white neighborhoods where there are people openly dealing drugs and lots of gang activity. Even though I am white. I try to stay in the ghetto because it is safer and virtually crime free.

-->
@MisterChris

Yeah, of course you can use it

-->
@TheAtheist

I found that quite hilarious, I may use it... with credit of course ;)

-->
@mairj23

Quite a lot of mass shooters wear glasses and have poor eyesight. Does that mean we should be wary of people that can't see well?

-->
@GuitarSlinger

I'm just repeating what's been said by politicians.

My argument was based on the previous mass shootings. Nothing more, nothin less.

-->
@mairj23

The title of the debate doesn't explain WHY you think race is to blame (trust me I've read the title multiple times).

So in your opinion, the common thread to all this was that their skin was white, and that this commonality was the reason they did it?

Another common thread was that they all had dark hair. I don't know about you, but this is very telling. I think we should be wary of dark haired folks and perhaps label brunettes as "domestic terrorists".

@bmdrocks21

So, if propaganda gives a one-sided perspective, then is this one-sided perspective more credible than a full perspective?

-->
@mairj23

Propaganda isn't necessarily false. It is information that only gives a one-sided perspective on things.

-->
@bmdrocks21

A lie or false statement, whether it's a number or a written statement, can be a form of fraud and manipulation.

Propaganda is the perfect example of manipulation whether it's written or spoken.

-->
@GuitarSlinger

What's the title of this debate?

You asked "why do I focus on skin color?" Now explain to me which racial group committed 3-mass shootings in a weeks time?

Class Dismissed...

-->
@mairj23

There isn't really a statistic for Franklin to manipulate in terms of you being racist. Either you are or aren't. A lil racism never hurt anyone. ;)

Fraudulent would mean the statistics in question are entirely made up, while manipulated would mean that you try to misrepresent the facts by using different definitions/only look at part of it. Statistics can be fraudulent. I have a little more faith in the FBI than to believe they just randomly made their crime statistics up.

-->
@mairj23

eh, no it's not. You're taking 1 aspect (skin color) and attributing causation to it, without showing or explaining how. My point is there are many other factors that are common to the shooters-- why aren't you addressing those? Why are you choosing to focus on the skin color?

-->
@mairj23

"The title of this debate was quoted by actual politicians"

Who?

The title of this debate was quoted by actual politicians because white people have murdered multiple individuals on three-separate occasions within a weeks timespan in the same country.

Can someone explain to me what the word "domestic" means & explain what the word "terrorism" means?

-->
@bmdrocks21

I'm just saying that anything that's written/typed can be fraudulent whether it's numbers or statements.

Example? Your buddy @Dr.Franklin keeps saying I'm racist, which is the perfect example of a manipulation.

-->
@bsh1

I see, thank you

-->
@Alec

I am not going to comment on Wylted's ban except to say that (a) Castin made the ruling and (b) it is temporary, and he should be back soon.

-->
@Dr.Franklin

People on DART are free to express racist views if they wish. Racism is not something we moderate unless it is aimed at a specific user. So, it would be against the rules to say "User123 is a dumb n***er," but it is not against the rules to say "N***ers are dumb."

-->
@bsh1

"Just because the content is absurd or gross doesn't make it deletable."

It's not gross, it's staright racism

-->
@mairj23

I don't think you should be banned, but I would also say the same for wylted.

What are you referring to with regard to manipulating statistics? Any specific examples?

-->
@bsh1

Why was wylted banned?

-->
@mairj23

Your racist

-->
@Dr.Franklin

I haven't broken a single rule. You want me to get banned just for speaking about the obvious?
I'm simply holding up a mirror and it's not my fault if you don't like what you see.

Yes, I fully support congress because everyone can see who's causing the problems.

-->
@GuitarSlinger

What you're saying is the epitome of False Equivalency.

-->
@Alec

Statistics are just numbers on a spreadsheet and they can be manipulated.

-->
@Dr.Franklin

This debate is fine. Just because the content is absurd or gross doesn't make it deletable.

-->
@Dr.Franklin

I'll let Bsh see this. Wylted was banned for a different reason.

-->
@Castin
@David
@bsh1

Hello, are you seeing this

"My stance on this matter is that I support congress/politicians' labeling white Americans as domestic terrorists. "

@Dr.Franklin

Tag moderators and tell them your claim.

@mairj23

What happened in Chigaco when blacks murder eachother everyday

fucking bann this dude, im sick of this shit allowed but not Wylteds!

Facts don't necessarily provide, or lead to, causation.

My gut tells me most, if not all, the perps were wearing shoes....perhaps "shoes" were the cause of the shootings?
My gut tell me most, if not all, the perps had 5 fingers on each hand....perhaps we should be wary of folks who have all their digits on their hands?

-->
@mairj23

Eh, the fact that the shooter is "white" (or "brown" or "black") doesn't necessarily provide causation. That's kinda like saying, the majority of vehicular accidents involve vehicles that have a radio in side them-- so it's obvious that the radio is the problem. Just because the shooter's exhibit a certain characteristic, does not necessarily mean that characteristic is the cause.

-->
@mairj23

I didn't dissapear anywhere, I have other stuff to do than debate on this website. One day is not enough time for an argument. Make a new debate with more time.

-->
@mairj23

Aren't statistics a type of fact?

-->
@Alec

Lol. Mike Tyson couldn't have Knocked him out faster...Facts will always outweigh statistics..

-->
@mairj23

Your opponent still has 6 hours, although I would be surprised if he responds.

-->
@Alec

The funny thing about my argument is that it's being proven as we speak in real-time

...which is why my opponent has suddenly disappeared.

-->
@bmdrocks21

Can anybody explain to me what just happened in Dayton, Ohio?
I'll wait...…………………………...

-->
@Alec

He has pretty decent knowledge of grammar, yet makes inflammatory and incoherent arguments. He acts like this on purpose to get people angry.

-->
@bmdrocks21

If someone says that Muslims are terrorists, and they are not a troll, then the same logic ought to be applied to those who say white males are terrorists. Although I disaggree with Pro, he is not a troll.

-->
@Alec

He is a troll. Unless you are trolling him back, don't waste your time trying to reason with him. It'll save you a few headaches/hours

-->
@mairj23

Just as most Muslims are peaceful, most white males are peaceful.

-->
@mairj23

Do you just like getting thrashed publicly? The reason that black crime isn't reported on is because it is "nothing new". Another gang shooting or drug dealer arrested has no spice to it.
