Reiterating On Last Ending to Elaborate

Previously, I posted:

Briefly, my posts are often long. I'll sometimes chop one up into 2, but I'm too lazy to do that now. One of the things I'll comment later on is the advisor wanting Israel to return to the pre-1967 boundaries. A lot of people don't think that's a big deal, but it really is. I'll explain why in a later post. In the meantime, I'll post this video here and you should listen to everything she says. Don't try to paraphrase her. Do it verbatim as context gets easily shifted around with the substitution of just one word.

Rev. Lee's Anti-Semitism


At the start of my last post, I asked whether disguising racism or being open about it is worse.
It's rather interesting that "disguised racism" (as I will dubb it) has been going on for 20 years behind doors, and now that it's coming out nationally, you look at all of this and realize that there is no denying the racist content.

Racism is racism--manipulation, discrimination, and brain washing indefinitely. Is having proof of it and yet denial about it any much better than open display of discrimination in the Deep South? The irony is that, while I look down upon White Supremacists, at least they didn't try to hide their agenda. At least we knew exactly what they wanted and how they felt.
Just because someone preaches or supports racism and denies it doesn't make them any better: we may only think of them as better because we want to believe the .000000001 chance that they are right about their denial. Ironically, at least white supremacists were honest with us. Either way, if someone discirminates against you, they aren't going to have your back. You're going to get stabbed either way.
Would you prefer investing time and energy into a friend who ends up stabbing you in the back, or being able to know that someone is going to hate you anyway no matter what you do so don't bother with them? So which one is really better, and are they even really that different?

Both would be happy to see you down, one might just pretend to have sympathy, but what does it matter if it's not genuine?
