Sikh man pulled off Greyhound bus and detained for 30hrs for being brown

[Ender]

Hysterical leftist bull$#@!. It had nothing to do with being "brown".

Yeah, it did.

And that's not leftist bull$#@; it's the world that has been created for us so we can live in fear.

 

[TheTexan]

Yeah, it did.

And that's not leftist bull$#@; it's the world that has been created for us so we can live in fear.

Then whose articles were these

According to the report, a search of the men’s possessions found newspaper clippings that included articles about suicide bombings. Singh denies any such articles were his.

 

[The Rebel Poet]

If it looks like a terrorist, smells like a terrorist, and talks like a terrorist...

So looks like a terrorist means wears headgear, smells like a terrorist is what? Brown skin? Beard? Goat smell? Talks like a terrorist is speaking any other language than English?

I had a feeling the Trumptards would be out on this thread but WTF happened to RPF that there are so many paranoid anti-liberty xenophobes taking over???

 

[helmuth_hubener]

Agreed, lets ban brown people with beards. That will fix everything.

I do not agree to that.

If you are wanting to ban people, Mani, perhaps banning Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40 would be more effective.

In fact, I am rather sure it would be.

You'd rather use a blunt, dumb tool when a surgical knife would suffice?

And how are you going to identify said Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40? Ask them?

"Are you a terrorist?"
"No."
"Excellent! Welcome to America!"

 

[helmuth_hubener]

So why are you listing supposed Muslim terrorist acts to support the detention of a Sikh?

Correction: I have listed actual Muslim terrorist acts. You wish to cast doubt on the reality of any or all of these acts? Have at! They never happened! It's all an illusion! Those people just think they're dead. Ender's theory: Really it's just a plot by evil white men to make us think Muslims commit terrorist acts disproportionately.

No, I have listed actual, not "supposed," Muslim terrorist acts. Why I have listed them, who can say!

Such an excellent question you pose to Mani! Since you are, I'm sure, so very worried about the threat of terrorism, since it keeps you up at night, why don't you put your noggin to work on this problem and let us know the solution. Thanks!

Nice red herring! What does any of this have to do with the Sikh on the bus though?

No, I was posing it to YOU. You are the one who suggested it, and I'm wondering what your plan is in some sort of detail beyond "win."

 

[helmuth_hubener]

No, I was posing it to YOU. You are the one who suggested it, and I'm wondering what your plan is in some sort of detail beyond "win."

Oh, I have a "plan" now? Is that better than a way?

Since you are the one who is so very worried about the threat of terrorism, since it keeps you up at night, it seems like you are the one who needs a plan. To solve the huge, horrible problem. Why don't you put your noggin to work on this problem and let us know the solution. Thanks!

I'm not sure why you are getting angry, but I never brought up the topic of terrorism, you have been braying about it on this thread and specifically said that certain people should be profiled. I'm simply wondering how you think that should be done. If you have no answer, don't put it on me as if I came up with the idea.

 

[helmuth_hubener]

I'm not sure why you are getting angry,

I am not sure either, as I certainly don't feel angry!

but I never brought up the topic of terrorism

And yet, you are asking me to solve the issue of terrorism! I appreciate your confidence in my abilities and brilliance. But,

1. If you are truly so concerned about terrorism, you should be able to come up with and present some great ideas of your own.
2. If you are not concerned about terrorism, well, why bother solving a non-problem? And why bother me to "solve" this non-problem? Answer: ____________

you have been braying about it on this thread

What is "braying" and could you quote me where and explain to me how I am doing it? If sounds like a bad thing and I certainly wouldn't want to keep it up.

and specifically said that certain people should be profiled.

Oh no, I think you have gravely misread me. As a matter of fact I specifically said "no," not once but twice, no, let us not profile anyone. I even bolded it so you wouldn't miss it, but I guess you still did. Glad I could correct you on that.

To insure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly Muslim fanatics intent on killing us, airport screeners will not be allowed to profile people. They will continue random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, quadruple amputees, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail, Ron Paul every single time he flies, 10-year-olds with juice boxes, 3-year-olds with, well, nothing, and Medal of Honor winning former Governors.

But no, oh no, let's not inconvenience anyone by profiling. Why, that would be racist! Better dead than racist. Right?

Please stop cluttering up the forums with your trollery. It is a waste of good space. If you don't like RPF except for trolling please just leave.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Yeah, it did.

And that's not leftist bull$#@; it's the world that has been created for us so we can live in fear.

Standard talking point from the Rachel Maddow show and leftists. A red herring to distract from other issues. Cry "racism" and win any debate.

Perhaps it had more to do with suspicious behaviour and the foreign language. Maybe these guys were innocent, maybe they were doing it on purpose just to create a headline like this and play victim. Maybe there's a lawsuit in the works.

"Brown" is the reason? Right, because people on a bus in Texas are all lilly-white except for their rednecks. They ain't never seen no one with "brown" skin before.

 

[helmuth_hubener]

Please stop cluttering up the forums with your trollery. It is a waste of good space. If you don't like RPF except for trolling please just leave.

Come now, surely you do not need to be reduced to name-calling. It's beneath your dignity. Have I so thoroughly perplexed and destroyed your arguments that you have no other choice? No! I know this, because I have not been making arguments nor even attempting to destroy you. What I have been doing is making you think (trying to; you seem to be figuratively kicking and screaming to avoid it).

I like to think. I like to make other people think. If you like to think, you will enjoy my posts, you will not take offense at them. If you actually do sincerely believe I'm a "troll" and are not just name-calling, just do a search for my latest posts, browse through the last forty or something -- or any random forty from the past nine years -- and I'm sure this will make you realize I'm a great guy and a natural ally for you.

If you want to have an actual sincere dialogue, and actual discussion, not just come at me with "gotcha" uselessness, here is a great starting question:

1. Which do you agree with more:

a) Terrorism is a huge, serious, and growing threat to us all.
b) More people are killed by their bathtubs every year than by terrorists.

WHO ARE THE "TERRORISTS"

and "b",, make it accidental causes and I'll take it.

There we go! At least one man, Pete, knows how to answer a question! Maybe there is hope we can get a dialogue going!

And all Texans wear turbans, right?

I am no leftist and Rachel who? I have just never understood the fear and hatred of people who are different. I also believe it's a big set up to have Americans split up and living in fear of each other- we concentrate and black/blue/red/white/green/pink lives matter instead of TPTB.

Makes us weak and very vulnerable.

I thought Texicans wore one of two forms of cowboy hats.....

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Well, that could be a factor, and it would be misguided, but it doesn't have anything to do with skin color.

Exactly my point. It's a distraction.

Racial divisiveness is counter-productive and damaging. Yet it is those who cry racism constantly that do the most to instigate, aggravate and multiply the problems. MSNBC, CNN and the Obama left in general have done everything to make race relations worse in the past ten years, and they always do it under the guise of "exposing" or "countering" racism. It's a problem they blow out of proportion to distract and push their agenda.

For example, CNN has a new series called "United Shades of America". Supposedly it's meant to ease tensions with "humor". It does nothing of the sort. It escalates and creates division where there might not have been any before. It is the problem, not the solution. And the people behind these shows know it. It's a means to a political agenda. Distract, shame, enrage, divide, conquer.
