So you can chose when to and when not to understand English?

She said it "Systemic racism “doesn’t exist”"

Why do you think cococandy put those quotation marks there ? ? ? ? ?

Shudder Quotes / Scare Quotes

Please learn:

------------
Those are commonly known as scare quotes (or shudder quotes).

When you place a word or phrase inside scare quotes, you are essentially telling the reader, "This is what someone else calls it, but I don't buy it."

The essence of using quotation marks this way boils down to three main functions:

1. Distance and Disavowal
The primary function is to create a buffer between you and the word. By wrapping a term in quotes, you signal that you are merely borrowing the word from someone else's vocabulary and that you actively disagree with its accuracy.

Without quotes: The honest politician signed the treaty. (You believe they are honest.)

With quotes: The "honest" politician signed the treaty. (You are explicitly questioning their integrity.)

2. The Verbal "Air Quotes" Equivalent
In speech, people often make a clipping motion with their index and middle fingers to signal sarcasm. In writing, scare quotes serve as the exact visual cue for that tone of voice. It alerts the reader to apply a skeptical, ironic, or mocking inflection to the word in their head.

3. Subversion of Meaning
It flips the literal definition of a word to its opposite. It's a shorthand way of saying "so-called."

He does not.

He knows what is right but he cannot do it because it might offend what his Democrat massa told him

Bayelsaowei, wants the legal process to be followed for this guy but for Trump, he is ready to label him regardless of what the legal process says

And what do you say about the legal process when it convicts trump on over 30 counts?
Yes that's right. You trash it.

They are not enough to stop him from contesting. That is part of the legal process. If its enough to stop him, he would be stopped

benalvino3:
But that is my point. When the allegation is against a Democrat, suddenly your standard becomes: if it is true, let the courts handle it. Ok, no wahala there. But hat should be the standard for everyone.

When it is Trump or a Republican, you do not use that same careful language. You jump straight to pdf, r8pist, criminal, evil, etc. even when the specific claim has not been proven in court. Like you always say when it's Biden.

On this NJ candidate, the problem is not just random gossip.

The report says Adam Hamawy volunteered with Benevolence International Foundation in Bosnia in the 90s, and the 9 11 Commission later described that network as providing support for terrorist activity connected to al Qaeda.

The same report also says Hamawy was never charged or accused by authorities of Islamic terrorism, so I am not saying he has already been legally proven guilty.

That is the difference: I can separate serious red flags from legal conviction. The guy is affiliated with terrorist and that's not enough for an arrest, but its a Red flag yo say the least.

But can you?

Because when it is Biden, Democrats, or this guy, you suddenly remember due process. But when it is Trump, you throw due process away and run with the worst accusation possible.

If you want to call him a pedophile, show the conviction or direct evidence. Otherwise, you are doing exactly what you accuse others of doing: selective outrage and political tribalism.

The problem is not whether this Democrat should be arrested without evidence. The problem is your double standard. You demand courtroom proof for people on your side, but accept internet allegations when it helps your politics.

Trump is a felon and you support him,.

You stand behind a felon.. a sex offender.. you are supposed to be ashamed of yourself..

I don’t stand behind convicted felons and criminals.. I don’t worship any of them..

Trump was indicted, tried and convicted as a felon..

The reason why I detest Trump is because he is an unrepentant felon.. and he’s got shameless lots like you standing behind him..

Show me a felon that I support and I would apologize and stop supporting the individual..

The shameless folks are now desperate.. Trump is a felon.. it’s the reason why I am on his case..

They’ve forgotten the man is a convicted felon..

That’s how annoyingly immoral they’ve become..

raumdeuter:
Do you apply this standard to Trump?

Trump has been indicted, tried and convicted..

And yes the standard applies to the orange man..

And to reiterate to your deaf ears, if that man is really a terrorist, and the FBI knows he is, he should be arrested..

I am not an advocate for the man, I don’t support him, I don’t know him, I don’t worship him..

You guys are looking for fellow worshippers like yourself of a criminal ?

raumdeuter:
Even the Talarico you are defending is already walking back his claims admitting he was cringe and deliberately provocative, Yet Ijebos the defender of white men is already on his knees



https://abcnews.com/Politics/talarico-walks-back-comments-religion-gender-after-paxtons/story?id=133361405

This isn't a debated position, this is the doctrine of the Catholic Church and most Christians.
God is a spirit. You are trying to define God in human understanding.

And again, you are a lying decdeitful garbage can of a person.
Here is what you left out from Talarico's quote.

When pressed on his comments, Talarico replied that they were "meant to be deliberately provocative" and that he believes "you can't use human categories to define God." He said that Republicans are seizing on the comments "to try and distract from the corrupt system that Ken Paxton embodies."

Everything you write here is some form of lie or intellectual dishonest post.
It's simply because you can't defend your positions.

Who tried and convcted Trump for pdf philia that you repeatedly call him

RodgersAkpafu:
Yep

Racism is on the increase on X

Went there after a break and what I am reading is unbelievable

It's absolute insane how bad it is.
Every post re: a black person always has some of the most deviant racism I've ever read.
That place is a cesspool.

raumdeuter:

Trump is a felon and a confirmed sex offender.. an unrepentant one.. You support him.. or have you forgotten? Or you wanna run away from that you shameless human.

Trump has his name all over the Epstein files with weighty allegations which his own government has tried so hard not to address.

I am holding Trump accountable based on his antecedents.. a sex offender who had close ties with a sex trafficker. His DOJ can only protect him for now, not forever..

benalvino3:
Bayelsaowei, if Trump did not run as a republican, you would have bought his books.

Nobody cared Trump was this vile till he announced he is running as a republican?

Remove Trump from the equation, why do you hate Republicans?

Tell me you are not being remotely controlled by CNN.

I would never like someone like Trump.

Arrogant felons, grifters, incessant liars, men who disrespect women are not the kind of people I like ..

I really don’t hate republicans..I focus more on individuals..

At present I am only disappointed at the party for bowing down and being arm twisted by a felon and a sex offender.. it’s a shame.. and they all claim to love Jesus and his Father..

Yep
When they get what they ask for, make dem no cry

Because especially here in the UK, if they think they will mete violence on immigrant groups here without reprisals, esp in the big four (London, Brum, Manny and Leeds); they must be joking

I trust my small heath Asians though
They will scatter everywhere

benalvino3:

Deflect from the fact that you didnt know the significance of the marks.

I can answer you if you know what a blood libel is.

GracieX3:
IDF fights by the rules? The prisoners that were arrested without any trial or day in court? People in detention for many years for no reason and just released?

The international medics and journalists killed? Is that by the rules.

Just for your information, IDF soldiers have not been punished for the prisoner rape.....the rapes were so common it was believed it was supported by the higher ups.

benalvino3:
IjeBos, she said it. She admitted it.

Also, DeepSight, take note.
Systemic racism does not exist however, there are racist people, and their racism affects anyone - Blacks, Whites, Asians, etc.

You slow sha. Ugh 😩

What are the lies for?

You said you detest Trump because he is a felon. But you have detested Trump long before he became a convicted felon. As far back as 2018, you were already against him. So stop pretending your issue started with the felony conviction.


The truth is Trump is a conservative Republican, and that alone is enough for you to hate him. You detest DeSantis even though he is not a convicted felon. So this whole I only hate Trump because he is a felon argument is dishonest.

Make we hear word

cococandy:
You slow sha. Ugh 😩

With my slowness I can run circles on you and your entourage, the closet guy with a white bf, and the guy from Zulu village living in Nigeria Deepsight 😂😂

You just admitted that systemic racism does not exist. I quoted your exact words

DeepSightZ:

Oga forget all this talk.

You keep saying your problem is Trump’s character. felon, liar, grifter, disrespecting women, bla bla bla.

Ok, but explain DeSantis then.

Why do you dislike DeSantis again? What felony was he convicted of, hat court found him liable as a sex offender, what makes him the same as Trump, apart from being a conservative Republican?

You see why I don’t buy this your I only focus on individuals claim.

Your pattern says otherwise. The moment someone is on the conservative side, the outrage is already prepared. Trump, DeSantis, or whoever comes next, the script will be the same.

No need to pretend that this is only about Trump’s personal flaws. If it was, you would judge each person separately.

But you don’t. You follow the narrative of who you are told to hate, then later attach moral language to justify it.

And the Jesus argument is also selective. You only remember Jesus when Republicans fail morally.

When Democrats are accused of serious things, suddenly it becomes if it is true, let the courts handle it.

But how are they different from you?
Tell me one person Jesus falsely accused of being a pdf?

IjeBos:
Slower than molasses.

Ngl I feel sorry for him sometimes. Like I’m taking advantage of the slow kid in the class and embarrassing him in front of the whole class. But he can’t help himself and keeps pushing, then I’m forced to respond 😢.

benalvino3:
and the guy from Zulu village living in Nigeria Deepsight 😂😂

How come Zulu village?

You just admitted that systemic racism does not exist. I quoted your exact words

No she didnt. And I schooled you up on something elementary. Don't be a dolt.

A beautiful America makes some people sad

Long may it continue
