It [the race card] originates from the brainwashing that happens to every black man.
This came from this quote in another thread:
I've seen this argument repeated by many posters in many other threads for the year I've been here and I want to know if this is a common assessment of black men - that they are brainwashed and consequently, do not have or are incapable of having their own thoughts. So, do you agree? Moreover, if you answer "yes", do you believe that black men are more "brainwashed" than any other race? And if so, why do you think that black men think less for themselves than other races?
I've already told you that I was going to go back edit it to "many black men." But you don't want to hear that. You want to call me out in a post.
My vote is "No," by the way.
Politically the US black population is essentially monolithic, far more so than any other demographic. I expect that's where the idea of brainwashing comes from.
To answer my own question:This came from this quote in another thread:

I actually went back to the thread to get the quote where you said that, but you said, "I almost went back" not "I was going to go back", so I assumed that meant you thought the quote was fine which is why you "almost" instead of "actually" went back, so I just kept it like it is since "almost" going back wouldn't change your initial comment. I also don't see much a difference between "all" and "many" to be honest.I've already told you that I was going to go back edit it to "many black men." But you don't want to hear that.

Do you think "many white men" are brainwashed too? What about women, are they resistant?
I'm starting to think that as well. People rarely accuse themselves of being brainwashed especially those who point the finger at others, be it blacks or Christians or some other group.I think, for most people, brainwashed = doesn't agree with me.
I also think that particular statement is incorrect.

In the sense I was talking about, white men? No. Last one? I don't think anyone is trying to subliminally feed them excuses for being poor or not having a good job.
Ah, so you do define brainwashed as "not agreeing with you".
I don't understand how you got that from what you copied that I wrote.
Brainwashed meaning what exactly? And no, I don't think all people in any group are brainwashed into anything. But then again I also think it's poor form to call out another user by quoting a post they made a mistake in and arguing based on that single word mistake.
I could just weep.
