Why are people no longer allowed to have differing opinions?
People who express different opinions are themselves considered defective- not valued simply as someone with a different opinion.

I absolutely understand where you're coming from, but should someone's right to marry who they love and be happy be an opinion?
Who said they aren't? You can have all the differing opinions you want; and we can tell you why we disagree with them.

TheLastSouthernGentleman
I live in the rural south (obviously) and my school was about 20% black and 20% hispanic. Plenty of diversity in southern states
Rural south as well here and there was one black family who moved less than 6 months after moving into the area. Just depends where you are.
I don't deny that. I knew of two all white schools that I played ball against but thats because it was farm country,not because of racism 1.
2. sure racism exists but typically not to the level that people think when they think of the south. Just my experience and location I guess
and only one black family in the entire K to 12 school. And that's when I learned what racism was. And they were also huge homophobes. (3)

I went to a small school in Texas where there was literally like 3 black people in the school. There was NO racism or homophobes.

seriously, is it REALLY so shocking that a conservative Christian was against gay marriage?
Just because it was expected doesn't mean we shouldn't criticize it.
do you feel the need to criticize him because his beliefs are different than yours?
Do you often criticize people for having the SAME beliefs as you? Do you even know what criticism is?
you seem to have utter contempt for any opinions that are different than yours, by definition, that makes you a bigot. look it up
If this were true you'd be correct. But I only hold contempt for ignorance, not simply differing opinions. So that argument don't fly, son.
No, because his views are 1) wrong, and 2) actively harmful to other people.
in your opinion his views are wrong. and exactly who did he harm with him saying "it just doesent make any sense to me" ?
Because he is promoting the idea that gay people are immoral and deviant, which contributes to public animus against them. People are more 1
2 likely to feel justified in their mistreatment of gay people if they feel society supports them.

When this "news" came out, my first thought was the reporter should be fired. What's next - - do fat kids like cake? Exclusive at 11.

He should have been run out of LA years ago for discriminatory practices involving minority tenants at his apartment buildings.
rollercostarican
if your boss found out you told your coworker "in private" that she was a Cunt, scaving Bitch" do you think you would keep your job?
Considering I'm self employed and male, I'd give myself a raise.
jimicos
He also hired more black coaches than any owner in NBA history.
as slave drivers
nflgeneric
Just cause someone hires a black person doesn't mean they get to claim they aren't racist. "I have black friends", etc.
RoomTemperatureCoffee
But if you are objectively helping members of a race, being internally racist isn't really a problem. That's just thoughtcrime.
InboxMeYourGermanShepherds
And when thoughtcrime becomes a punishable offense, we're all fucked
yeah and slave owners also paid for slaves lol
MrMayberry
So paying a man millions of dollars to coach other black men you pay millions of dollars, is now the same as owning slaves? I had no idea
you don't think there are any sexist bosses with women employees? Or any racist doesn't hire an immigrant for cheaper labor?
im not saying its the same as owning slaves, im saying paying people of another ethnicity doesn't mean you dont have racist views
i was simply saying the exchange of currency for labor, isnt the be all end all for evaluating discriminative behavior, especially when...
"Yes, yes it is." - Adrian Peterson
there's a past history and civil lawsuits against you in your other businesses.
I don't think he wasn't racist, but I also don't think he IS racist for what he did. He fucked up, and paid a HUGE price for it.
All in all, I agree mostly with what you've said. I just think the slave comparison was a little much.
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people" is an extremely racist statement, though.
FellBells
It doesn't help that the majority of players in the NBA are AfricN-American
The dude is 90, it's still racist, but I sort of assume all 90 year olds are a little racist.
That doesn't make it right by any means.
no, not at all, but Burr's point is that it doesn't make it shocking
Expressing an opinion that most of society feels is "not right" is also not a legitimate cause for things to be taken from someone.
cameldrinker
"Black people are cool" is also technically a racist statement.
More racist. It implies a difference between races. The initial quote referred to actions related to race, not to qualities of that race.
Lemesplain
Yeah, but for an 80 year old white dude, it was pretty mellow racism. Dude was born in the 30s. His grandparents might've owned slaves.
ColonelOfTruth
That's not what he said though, albeit close. What he said was essentially: "Look, I'm a billionaire; I associate with a certain type of
2 person, and that type of person is not ok with black people, like the ones you've been publicly displaying and associating with me." It's
3 not a nice thing to say, but I don't really think *he* was the racist in the situation, really.
I had an awesome video, I actually think by Stephen A. Smith (but admittedly I can't remember) that perfectly responded to this. Trying...
I think he made racist demands (i.e. demands based on race) but you're right that it was mainly a function of his environment.
Found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6bLKe9-Mto
Still though, haven't you ever said something as controversial as that in a private conversation?
Sure, but would you want to work for someone if you heard them say awful things about your race / orientation in private?
But this guy didn't say awful things about a race. He indicated personal prejudice without being particularly critical of the race itself. 1
If anything, he said awful things about himself, but not really. Basically: "My prejudices cause me to perceive black people badly in some 2
situations." That's actually a pretty normal way for laypeople to feel. He just vocalized it. That's not really malicious on his part. 3
If it didn't affect my job, or the professional relationship between me and them, I couldn't care less.
LAvaughn
Umm idk bout that. if u had a choice.. If my boss was hitler or a serial rapist, and I was jewish/a girl. Out of principal and self respect
Right. Someone can't help how they feel, but they *can* help how they act. And in the end, feelings mean nothing and only actions matter.
FlatusIgnition
Redneck he may be, but that fucker is rich as hell.
whoisyourdaddy
He's allowed to have those thoughts. He didn't bash anyone, he just said that he doesn't understand why they would prefer anus to a vagina.
They are not out there with nooses and shit. He's just shaking his head 'cause he thinks he's better than them.
And who doesn't think they are better than someone else? I can kick that guys ass in a skateboard contest. Doesn't mean I am oppressive.
Legendoom
Nobody is saying he isn't allowed to have them. He is. And we're allowed to call him a fuckin' asshole.
No one is trying to mind control his thoughts, but if he's allowed to have them then we're allowed to criticize them.
CthulhuCups
Get out of here with your logic and rational thinking!
1) Not the media; they are supposed to be objective. 2) He was pretty much fired for exercising freedom of speech. Not cool.
1) Says who? 2) Freedom of speech on protects you from government censorship and nothing else. Actions have consequences, deal with it.
And yes, I know it doesn't say the if unbiased thing, but that's implied heavily. At the time biased reporting wasn't considered news at all
FancyGiraffes
On consequences: Is this reaction reasonable though? Do we need to get everyone fired who disagrees with us respectfully?
Obviously heavily dissuades the opinion, but it also creates large scale resentment and even hate. Aren't there better ways to handle this?
In regards to the media, you need to do some reading. Media was given freedom to do their thing in the constitution IF unbiased.
And it also doesn't address the fact that his freedom of speech wasn't being infringed upon like you implied.
Sorry, but that simply isn't something that's supported by case law.
And he thinks god doesn't like it either. It's OK for him to think that way. They still sell duck calls and camo to gay guys.

Being clean shaven does not make you not a redneck. I should know. I'm a varmint shooting, clean shaven, software developer.
Serious Question: Why the fuck does anyone need a government license to get married?
Taxes. It's not like you apply and can be turned down for it. It's basically just a tax form.
Taxes, retirement inheritance, power of attorney, hospital visitation, estate transfers, adoption, and a LOT more. But you don't NEED [1]

So bullying is right as long as its to religious folk but they can't fight back?
Akin to speaking out against being black (unchangeable being) vs. speaking out against being a member of a political party (choice). (3/3)
If I say your church is corrupt and swindles people out of money, that's not the same as telling me I'm evil for the way I was born.
Speaking against being gay is bullying, because it is not a choice. Against religion is not bullying, because it is a choice. (2)

Because he is promoting the idea that gay people are immoral and deviant, which contributes to public animus against them. People are more 1

When this "news" came out, my first thought was the reporter should be fired. What's next - - do fat kids like cake? Exclusive at 11.

"LA Clippers guy, he didn't say the N-word once!"

He also discriminated in his rental properties and was generally a piece of shit businessman.

He got run out of LA for saying something in private. How many people here have nothing to hide if their private conversation became public

You're just gonna find my dick pics and a ton of dumb shit about stuff we could do, but probably shouldn't if we want to live.

He should have been run out of LA years ago for discriminatory practices involving minority tenants at his apartment buildings.
rollercostarican
if your boss found out you told your coworker "in private" that she was a Cunt, scaving Bitch" do you think you would keep your job?
BimmerBoost
Considering I'm self employed and male, I'd give myself a raise.
jimicos
He also hired more black coaches than any owner in NBA history.
IceCubesInMyTea
as slave drivers
nflgeneric
Just cause someone hires a black person doesn't mean they get to claim they aren't racist. "I have black friends", etc.
RoomTemperatureCoffee
But if you are objectively helping members of a race, being internally racist isn't really a problem. That's just thoughtcrime.
InboxMeYourGermanShepherds
And when thoughtcrime becomes a punishable offense, we're all fucked
rollercostarican
yeah and slave owners also paid for slaves lol
MrMayberry
So paying a man millions of dollars to coach other black men you pay millions of dollars, is now the same as owning slaves? I had no idea
rollercostarican
you don't think there are any sexist bosses with women employees? Or any racist doesn't hire an immigrant for cheaper labor?
rollercostarican
im not saying its the same as owning slaves, im saying paying people of another ethnicity doesn't mean you dont have racist views
rollercostarican
i was simply saying the exchange of currency for labor, isnt the be all end all for evaluating discriminative behavior, especially when...

"Yes, yes it is." - Adrian Peterson
rollercostarican
there's a past history and civil lawsuits against you in your other businesses.
MrMayberry
I don't think he wasn't racist, but I also don't think he IS racist for what he did. He fucked up, and paid a HUGE price for it.
MrMayberry
All in all, I agree mostly with what you've said. I just think the slave comparison was a little much.
nflgeneric
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people" is an extremely racist statement, though.
FellBells
It doesn't help that the majority of players in the NBA are AfricN-American
smaug777000
The dude is 90, it's still racist, but I sort of assume all 90 year olds are a little racist.
nflgeneric
That doesn't make it right by any means.
smaug777000
no, not at all, but Burr's point is that it doesn't make it shocking
RoomTemperatureCoffee
Expressing an opinion that most of society feels is "not right" is also not a legitimate cause for things to be taken from someone.
cameldrinker
"Black people are cool" is also technically a racist statement.
RoomTemperatureCoffee
More racist. It implies a difference between races. The initial quote referred to actions related to race, not to qualities of that race.
Lemesplain
Yeah, but for an 80 year old white dude, it was pretty mellow racism. Dude was born in the 30s. His grandparents might've owned slaves.
ColonelOfTruth
That's not what he said though, albeit close. What he said was essentially: "Look, I'm a billionaire; I associate with a certain type of
ColonelOfTruth
2 person, and that type of person is not ok with black people, like the ones you've been publicly displaying and associating with me." It's
ColonelOfTruth

ColonelOfTruth
I had an awesome video, I actually think by Stephen A. Smith (but admittedly I can't remember) that perfectly responded to this. Trying...
RoomTemperatureCoffee
I think he made racist demands (i.e. demands based on race) but you're right that it was mainly a function of his environment.

Still though, haven't you ever said something as controversial as that in a private conversation?
nflgeneric
Sure, but would you want to work for someone if you heard them say awful things about your race / orientation in private?
RoomTemperatureCoffee
But this guy didn't say awful things about a race. He indicated personal prejudice without being particularly critical of the race itself. 1
RoomTemperatureCoffee
If anything, he said awful things about himself, but not really. Basically: "My prejudices cause me to perceive black people badly in some 2
RoomTemperatureCoffee
situations." That's actually a pretty normal way for laypeople to feel. He just vocalized it. That's not really malicious on his part. 3

If it didn't affect my job, or the professional relationship between me and them, I couldn't care less.

Umm idk bout that. if u had a choice.. If my boss was hitler or a serial rapist, and I was jewish/a girl. Out of principal and self respect
ColonelOfTruth
Right. Someone can't help how they feel, but they *can* help how they act. And in the end, feelings mean nothing and only actions matter.
FlatusIgnition
Redneck he may be, but that fucker is rich as hell.
whoisyourdaddy
He's allowed to have those thoughts. He didn't bash anyone, he just said that he doesn't understand why they would prefer anus to a vagina.
whoisyourdaddy
They are not out there with nooses and shit. He's just shaking his head 'cause he thinks he's better than them.
whoisyourdaddy
And who doesn't think they are better than someone else? I can kick that guys ass in a skateboard contest. Doesn't mean I am oppressive.
Legendoom
Nobody is saying he isn't allowed to have them. He is. And we're allowed to call him a fuckin' asshole.
SAWhowhatnow
No one is trying to mind control his thoughts, but if he's allowed to have them then we're allowed to criticize them.
CthulhuCups
Get out of here with your logic and rational thinking!
whoisyourdaddy
1) Not the media; they are supposed to be objective. 2) He was pretty much fired for exercising freedom of speech. Not cool.
SAWhowhatnow
1) Says who? 2) Freedom of speech on protects you from government censorship and nothing else. Actions have consequences, deal with it.
TanstaaflTovarisch
And yes, I know it doesn't say the if unbiased thing, but that's implied heavily. At the time biased reporting wasn't considered news at all
FancyGiraffes
On consequences: Is this reaction reasonable though? Do we need to get everyone fired who disagrees with us respectfully?
FancyGiraffes
Obviously heavily dissuades the opinion, but it also creates large scale resentment and even hate. Aren't there better ways to handle this?
TanstaaflTovarisch
In regards to the media, you need to do some reading. Media was given freedom to do their thing in the constitution IF unbiased.
SAWhowhatnow
And it also doesn't address the fact that his freedom of speech wasn't being infringed upon like you implied.
SAWhowhatnow
Sorry, but that simply isn't something that's supported by case law.
whoisyourdaddy
And he thinks god doesn't like it either. It's OK for him to think that way. They still sell duck calls and camo to gay guys.

Serious Question: Why the fuck does anyone need a government license to get married?
TanstaaflTovarisch
Taxes. It's not like you apply and can be turned down for it. It's basically just a tax form.
SAWhowhatnow
Taxes, retirement inheritance, power of attorney, hospital visitation, estate transfers, adoption, and a LOT more. But you don't NEED [1]

Granted, I do know many varmint-shootin', beard-havin', swamp-dwelling rednecks with progressive views on gay marriage.

That's good. All the rednecks I know over the age of about 24 are conservative dicks about everything. Some of the young ones are okay tho.

just to clarify, exactly how many varmint-shootin, beard-havin', swamp-dwelling rednecks do you know with conservative views on gay marriage

Double standards pissed me off. Religious person speaks against Gay? *boos*. Gays speak against religious folks? *cheers*

So bullying is right as long as its to religious folk but they can't fight back?

Akin to speaking out against being black (unchangeable being) vs. speaking out against being a member of a political party (choice). (3/3)

If I say your church is corrupt and swindles people out of money, that's not the same as telling me I'm evil for the way I was born.

Speaking against being gay is bullying, because it is not a choice. Against religion is not bullying, because it is a choice. (2)
