(American Thinker)   If "diversity" is good, why do liberals congregate in lily-white enclaves like Vermont (the whitest state in the Union, according to the Census) and Marin County, California?   (americanthinker.com) divider line 186

Real liberals would round up black people, at gunpoint if necessary, and force them into local neighborhoods.

the "american thinker" is neither american nor thoughtful. discuss.

Well duh...It's because they don't actually *like* black people. I mean, who does?

Yeah, liberals only live in the whitest places. Which is why DC is known for its staunchly conservative city government.
 
2012-05-31 10:35:49 AM
Please just let us allow a really stupid thread to die.
 
2012-05-31 10:36:00 AM
They're right.

Big urban centers vote Democrat and are 99% lily white, while you can't hardly find a cracker out in the heavily-GOP countryside.

Interestingly enough, Vermont has *ALWAYS* been a "Constitutional Carry" state: You've never needed a permit to carry concealed, it's just plain legal.

I thought liberals were portrayed as mobs of unwashed union-supporting fanatics from dirty places like Detroit and Cleveland. Or is that generalization scheduled for next week?

I have noticed that if the site a link leads to sounds like it could be the name of an American whiskey, it will likely be a conservative site.

Anyway, I do have a leftist friend who moved to Oakland, Ca, and loves to go on and on about how he is so cool because he lives in Oakland, and really gets to see what life is like man, as he is in the center of this cultural mixing pot.

So when I went to visit him, it turns out that on the other side of his street is Berkeley, and his neighborhood is actually pretty nice, and not too diverse.

end MSB.

/Mediocre story brah
 
2012-05-31 10:36:28 AM
So black neighborhoods that vote overwhelmingly for Democrats are either no longer liberals or are "lily white"?

Premise fails before the end of the sentence.
 
2012-05-31 10:37:28 AM
Is Vermont really that much 'Whiter', than say for example, Utah?
 
2012-05-31 10:37:54 AM
Oh look, more projection. "We are racist hicks, but look at those white liberals living with other white liberals... they must be racist too."
 
2012-05-31 10:38:05 AM
Yeah, like NYC. The bastion of white folk.
 
2012-05-31 10:38:07 AM
This just in: people like living in neighborhoods where other people like them live. I'm Ric Romero.

If anyone's curious about what the proper definition of "begging the question" is, read this article. That's what it means.

The converse of the questions is why does the Bible Belt have the highest rates of drunk driving and teen pregnancy?

where do black liberals live?
 
2012-05-31 10:39:14 AM
ALL RACISM IS PERPETRATED EXCLUSIVELY BY DEMOCRAT LIBERALS. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A RACIST CONSERVATIVE. SAUL ALINSKY.

Parmenius: I thought liberals were portrayed as mobs of unwashed union-supporting fanatics from dirty places like Detroit and Cleveland. Or is that generalization scheduled for next week?

Correct. This is Limousine Liberals Week.
 
2012-05-31 10:39:45 AM
Huh. Just yesterday I was told liberals all live in big cities because of white guilt or something.
 
2012-05-31 10:40:18 AM
dinch: Yeah, like NYC. The bastion of white folk.

Didn't you hear the news? New York is a conservative city now that we've had Republican mayors for the last 10 years. Yeah, that's the ticket...

I had a psychology professor who used to give us a scenario as the last question on every test and we had to identify the assumption that lead to that thought process. Try it out, it's pretty revealing.
 
2012-05-31 10:40:36 AM
And I love porto ricans and negros
As long as they don't move in next door
So love me love me love me
I'm a liberal.

thurstonxhowell: Yeah, liberals only live in the whitest places. Which is why DC is known for its staunchly conservative city government.

I'm sure East St. Louis is a Republican stronghold.
 
2012-05-31 10:41:35 AM
I've never cared much for the descriptive "lily white."

Seems derogatory. Like describing a black person as "licorice black." Or an Indian as "fire truck red." Or an Asian as "banana yellow."

If someone's skin actually was white as a lily they'd be hella freaky.

Glicky: The converse of the questions is why does the Bible Belt have the highest rates of drunk driving and teen pregnancy?

Your answer:

Serious Black: people like living in neighborhoods where other people like them live.

Why was this greenlit? That one sentence alone has given me retinal cancer.

Don't be silly; American Thinker doesn't consider blacks as people.

Stupid threads and bullsh*t trolls are the only reason for the politics tab anymore.

thurstonxhowell: Yeah, liberals only live in the whitest places. Which is why DC is known for its staunchly conservative city government.

In conservative "thinking" these places aren't really liberal. Rather they're full of ignorant people (by which they mean blacks) who have been tricked by liberals in some sort of convoluted plot to oppress them.
 
2012-05-31 10:45:29 AM
Vermont's population is 626,431 and Martin Country's is 252,409. Most liberals live in NYC than both of those places combined.
 
2012-05-31 10:45:54 AM
Say what now?

Gentrification was invented by liberals. Go find a local art district and look into what class and ethnicity the area used to be. Unless we're trying to pretend that meshbacks aren't liberal anymore...

It certainly isn't conservatives who are intentionally moving into ethnic-minority neighborhoods.

/rockin' the suburbs
//possibly moving into gentrified territory soon...

Mandated Fark affirmative action for lunatics.

Now, I'm liberal, but to a degree
I want ev'rybody to be free
But if you think that I'll let Barry Goldwater
Move in next door and marry my daughter
You must think I'm crazy!
I wouldn't let him do it for all the farms in Cuba

Sounds about right.

The whole conservative movement is basically in the shiatter, and that's not really a good thing.
 
2012-05-31 10:46:46 AM
Too bad liberals can't live in a diverse, multi-cultural paradise like our red state friends down south have managed.

Why is it that asperger-regressive types only see the world in absolute, black and white, binary terms.

If there are some all-white liberal areas that means that Repuglicans are automatically the best thing ever for disenfranchised non-white people?? God I'm constantly amazed at the new frontiers of stupid and crazy in which the new republican party keeps expanding. 4-5 years ago they would have made sure they never said such stupid things out loud.
 
2012-05-31 10:47:16 AM
I bet this couldn't have anything to do with poverty. Rich conservatives also tend to live in white neighborhoods. Poor whites are becoming more and more conservative, they also tend to live among minorities because they are poor. The only thing news worthy about this is the fact that minorities in this country are generally poor.
 
2012-05-31 10:47:31 AM
Yeah, because there's no liberals in New York City or Los Angeles.
 
2012-05-31 10:47:36 AM

I wanna know som'in' from Mr. Panda Bear here! If you pandas are from mountainous areas of China and Tibet, how come you eat bamboo, which is prone to grow only in drier, more arid regions?!
 
2012-05-31 10:49:47 AM
Statistically, the more educated a person is, the more likely they are to be liberal. I'm trying to figure out why people with good educations would end up in nice neighborhoods... hmmm....
 
2012-05-31 10:49:57 AM
And vote for Republicans like Susan Collins, explain that hateful diversity hating liberals who only associate with hyper liberals that hate diversity.
 
2012-05-31 10:50:09 AM
Because black people don't want to hang out with a bunch of smelly hippies.

Ooh, I love thought experiments/logic problems. Sounds like fun.
