Welcome to Texas
I live in Georgia. While i'm not in the same boat, my boat is adjacent to yours.
Welcome to Texas
Saying sorry to a group of people before judging them from a mainly uneducated point of view doesn't make it less offensive. If I were to say: "Sorry to all you Syrian people out there, but ALL OF US Americans think all of you are terrorist." it is still highly offensive and inaccurate even though I "apologized" beforehand. Both your statement and the above hypothetical both could come from viewing the world through the sole lens of the media. They both come from a place of ignorance and are offensive.
**Edit** With that being said, I am going to go back to the "Happy Raydo" who procrastinates on posting in RPs and spends his time looking for funny gifs
For those who care, Marco Rubio just dropped out.
If by moderate you mean robot that recites the same phrase as an answer than yeah sure. He sucked tbhaaaaand there goes the only candidate the republican party had that could be considered something of a moderate.

Sure it is. It's all structural oppression that keeps minority classes down, which is what racism ultimately comes down too. You don't have to wear a white hood and shout "I HATE BLACK PEOPLE" to be a racist.none of that is racist, offensive maybe, but not racist. I think we've forgot the definition as everyone loves to pull the race card the spoons something happens to a minority group.
I'm pretty sure Donald trump's comments are not keeping minorites down. Half of the garbage in that Huff post article was out of context and the other half was before he ran for president. The statement that he is a 'racist' is a leftist buzzword and a smear campaign that's doing a very poor job at stumping him.Sure it is.

By that logic, no one can be racist.I'm pretty sure Donald trump's comments are not keeping minorites down.
I noticed with your political compass too that you're very close to where Hillary Clinton is on the political compass. And that doesn't surprise me at all, actually. You may be a conservative piece of human garbage in the UK, but in the United States you'd be a Democrat. Which just goes to show you how America, compared to the rest of the world, is a center-right country. Because when some god awful Tory is the equivalent to what passes for left-wing in the US, you know the spectrum is out of whack.words
I believe it was Roland Barthes that wrote that the ne plus ultra mistake of the bourgeoisie is its tendency towards essentialism. It's why I don't really care for ISideWith. Not only does it take these functionaries at their word (consider Candidate Obama and the Individual Mandate) but as is the tendency it then spits out a simple little number that elides the presence (to say nothing of the complexity or appeal) of other positions and the parties/tendencies holding them. At least the Compass has a few ordinal values and the power of Cartesian coordinates (and a neat little visual) to recommend it.
@Norbster: Sanders is a right-wing social democrat. He's more or less a fraud/sheepdog for an increasingly restive Democratic base. Watch him endorse the execrable Clinton in a few months. I feel for his supporters but they are being played for fools .
