That's racist!

You people are stupid.

Believe it’s now deemed racist to say “you people”

Better check the Merriam-Webster for that definition..

A boost in the self-awareness department wouldn't hurt you. You are accusing Merriam-Webster of a political bias .... because they don't define a term to your liking? Even for this forum, this is an especially ridiculous line of thinking.

You are obviously off your meds again. He's right and you are wrong. Get over yourself and get a scoop of self-awareness.

You should read a manifesto from a white nationalist group such as the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas. You know what you will find? They identify themselves in the same manner that Merriam-Webster defines them.

So you're saying the Aryan Brotherhood dictates the definition to M-W? Or that the AB is as dumb as the editor of M-W?

Here is the black nationalist definition. Other then the color should the not be the exact same???
Definition of BLACK NATIONALIST

Merian-webster is racist

I'm not at all certain he (or most people for that matter) think taking a sample from group X and applying their own self-image upscaled to an across the board representative definition to be anything other than problematic at best. At least not if any real thought was put into reaching that conclusion.

I'm saying that the Aryan Brotherhood is a white nationalist organization, and they identify themselves just as Merriam-Webster defines them.

Did you argue with dictionaries a lot while you were in school? LOL. This is such a stupid thing to be arguing over.

The 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s were know as the “ Space Age “.
The past few decades will be remembered as the “ Race Age “.

Except the correct definition for them would be a "white supremacist" organization.

Yes, I did and teachers and principles too.

 

[hog88]

Where Merriam-Webster is making an error is in defining a portmanteau word using a definition not contained in either of it's two parts.

I define myself as an NBA All-Star.

You're at least being consistent with how much authority you have to change the meaning of defined terms.

 

[hog88]

LOL.

Maybe they should read their own work.

LOL. Maybe you should stop thinking you are more of an authority at defining terms than they are?

Did you really just post that?

Do you often read Aryan Brotherhood manifestos?

How am I wrong? By their own definitions of "white" and "nationalists" and portmanteau word their definition of "white nationalist" cannot be correct.

This has nothing to do with anyone's opinion.

... but here is an opinion : Some of you are so caught up in being argumentative, and casting others in a malicious, politically biased light that you will literally argue with a damn dictionary.

Maybe if you weren't so malicious and politically biased.........

 

[C-south]

They are a white nationalist group.

So they define “nationalist” differently based on race?

 

[BowlBrother85]

Maybe if you weren't so malicious and politically biased.........

Maybe if you had other things to contribute to a discussion besides accusing everyone who disagrees with you of a bias? For the most part, there is no intelligent discussion here.

Nope ... but I did today. Do you often read anything? It wouldn't appear so.
