Broken Records: Arguments About Race

Broken Records.
from Abagond blog

Welcome to the Broken Record Department! You were sent here because you are trying to make a Broken Record Argument, an argument that we have heard so many times before that it has its very own post! If you wish to continue arguing your point, please do so under the appropriate thread listed below.

If you are new here you should read the Comment Policy. You might want to see the Reader’s Guide [Read this! Many criticisms have already been responded to. Many confusions have already been clarified. ~BDS, Marmalade blog].

Thank you for your cooperation.

Broken Record Arguments:

1. Having a Broken Record Department is unfair, it amounts to censorship!
2. Not all Whites are what you say.
   • Whites are individuals!
3. Whites are not uniquely evil.
4. Blacks are just as racist if not more so.
5. Racism is dead.
6. I don’t like your tone.
   • A post of yours made me upset!
7. Your talk about race is divisive. You need to kiss up to Whites.
8. You see racism in everything!
9. Black crime statistics
10. Black rape statistics, particularly
    • the DOJ crime victimization numbers
11. The average African IQ is 70
12. Black American IQ
13. The Bell Curve is right!
14. The BET Fallacy: Using BET, Rented Negroes, Black comedians or hip hop artists to prove something about black people
15. Thief-thief arguments (moral deflection):
    • The Arabs traded slaves too!
    • Africans sold their own people into slavery
    • Asian Atrocity argument – Whites are not as bad as Mao, Genghis Khan, etc
    • Black-on-Black crime
    • Racist Uncles – most Whites are not as bad as the Klan
16. The Bootstrap Myth: If Jews or Asians or my grandfather can make it in America, anyone can! Blacks are just a bunch of layabout whiners.
17. Black pathology: Blacks are their own worst enemies.
18. There is some truth to stereotypes.
19. Racism is a universal, natural, part of human nature.
20. The White Inventor argument.
21. “Your blog is anti-White”
22. Race is a fact of science
23. The black-on-black crime argument
24. The race baiter argument
25. The Broken Africa stereotype – Africa is a hellhole
26. Take Japan, for instance – Japan is just as racist as the US
27. The Irish had it hard too – *sniff*

Future Broken Record Argument posts:

1. The higher black crime rates proves that Blacks have greater criminal tendencies than Whites.
2. Affirmative action
3. Whites do not benefit from racism, past (slavery, genocide, Jim Crow, etc) or present.
4. Making general statements about Whites is racist.
