    You got a like from Minstrel, a sign your logic is silly.

    Arpaio was held in contempt of court for racial profiling in traffic stops and the like. That was what he was pardoned for.

    The whole thing stunk of Obama going after his political opponents on his way out.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Stung that you didn't get my like, Denny? No need to be Johnny Lash-Out, just argue your points well. Or, at least, don't try to argue silly things like "discrimination on the basis of race is RACIAL but not RACIST."

    Hell no. A like from you is not a plus.

    Racist implies one race is superior. Racial implies simply because of ethnicity.

    Move along or I'll school you again, for the countless time.

    Your trash talk is as punchless as your points, which don't stand up to even the mildest scrutiny. Racial intolerance is also a form of racism, and discrimination based on race is pretty clear racial intolerance.

    Really? I didn't know that about Minstrel.

    @Minstrel, please go and like all of Denny's posts, apparently that will make all of them "silly".

    Yes, Arpaio was only pardoned for the crime he was convicted of. He was not pardoned for being a racist. I think only Jesus could do something like that.

    I was responding to your racial not racist comment.

    Assertion, absolutely false.

    Because people misuses the term, some dictionaries have added that.

    #3 is still due to 1 or 2.

    You really should stop before you further embarrass yourself.

    Racial is saying that african americans have a higher rate of diabetes.

    Racism is not not treating african americans for diabetes while treating everyone else.

    Not investigating certain crimes against certain races and ethnicities while continuing to investigate them for everyone else is racist.

    So transparent. "I don't like the definition, so it doesn't count." Your troll tactics are also several decades out of date, just like your racial jokes.

    You insist on further embarrassing yourself.

    I'm happy to assist you in that, as usual.

    The problem of using the word as you misuse it is that it cheapens what it really is.

    You don't know if it's racist or not. The sheriff has never said hispanics are inferior to whites.

    You obviously will believe the oceans are dead, no matter the evidence to the contrary. And you'll use awful logic to try and defend your position.

    More likely, you're just trolling.

    Since you may confuse others with your trolling, I'll just note that the reason racism includes "racial intolerance" without needing to say "due to a belief in racial superiority" is because A. that's where prejudice and intolerance come from--no one is intolerant towards other races because they believe in racial equality and B. we judge actions, not thoughts, because thoughts are unknowable on an individual level.

    You know and believe all this, but you pretend not to in order to muddy discussions.
