Definition-Bending

[pat grimshaw]

I know some people think they can change meanings.

Hipsters and the artistic think they're above the rules of normal men but what is this new fashion I see in CE&P which says—

Irish people are 'not white'

Italian people are 'not white'

 

[xbuzzerx]

You took this directly from a CE&P discussion and if you felt like discussing it in the thread it came up in, you should have posted there.

 

[Rolyo85]

Cowards don't discuss. They snipe and run away

 

[pat grimshaw]

...you should have posted there.

Don't the intellectual elite want to share their ideas with the proletariat?

 

[Rolyo85]

No, we totes do. It's just that it's considered good manners to carry one conversation in one topic, not post each new reply in a new thread ^_^

 

[pat grimshaw]

They're saying these Irish people aren't white

The intellectual elite bend any meaning to meet their intellectual conceit

 

[Rolyo85]

Who's they? And where have "they" said that? Quotes, links and context or stfu and gtfo

 

[pat grimshaw]

Roly, you are the intellectual elite.

They're saying these Irish people aren't white

No we aren't. We discussed the historical fact that Irish were classified as non-white officially and socially in American history, and you are presenting that point out of its context in direct response to that discussion, except you ran away to another forum to do it in a new thread and presented it in an intentionally context-omitted manner.

 

[Rolyo85]

Roly, you are the intellectual elite.

I know. And I'm quite comfortable with it ^_^

You, meanwhile, seem incapable of even sustaining your own troll attacks, let alone go beyond that. So I repeat - quotes, links and context or stfu and gtfo. I expect you'll pick option 2, as usual

 

[pat grimshaw]

....the historical fact that Irish were classified as non-white officially...

That's not a fact.

... Quotes, links ...

 

[xbuzzerx]

That's not a fact.

Yes it is, and the discussion from which you lifted this one point and ran away to troll with it in Hot Topics provided links discussing that historical context.

 

[pat grimshaw]

I know. And I'm quite comfortable with it ^_^ ...

I laughed at how you attacked Kayman

 

[Rolyo85]

You laugh when people get attacked? That's mean :/

 

[pat grimshaw]

Yes it is,...

Are the Bulgarians equally as non-white as the Irish and the Italians?

 

[Rolyo85]

I don't know. What do eugenics say on the subject?

 

[xbuzzerx]

Are the Bulgarians equally as non-white as the Irish and the Italians?

Go to CE&P and ask.

 

[pat grimshaw]

Yeah, just like Black people are 'not black'

Bustin. Artists and the intellectual elite don't follow other people's rules

 

[pat grimshaw]

I suppose the intellectual elite would judge the southern Italians to be more non-white than the Northern Italians.

 

[Rolyo85]

I suppose the intellectual elite would judge the southern Italians to be more non-white than the Northern Italians.

As someone who clearly doesn't belong to the intellectual elite, trying to make suppositions seems an exercise in futility, no?


I am LOVING how you're using the term "intellectual elite" as if it's an insult, and not an honor.

By the way, you are American, living in America. Just as an fyi
