The following is a draft, open for comment, of what will become a top-level page, like the Open Thread.
Welcome to the Broken Record Department! You were sent here because you are trying to make a Broken Record Argument, an argument that we have heard so many times before that it has its very own post! If you wish to continue arguing your point, please do so under the appropriate thread listed below.
If you are new here you should read the Comment Policy. You might want to see the Reader’s Guide.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Broken Record Arguments:
- Having a Broken Record Department is unfair, it amounts to censorship!
- Not all whites are what you say. Whites are individuals!
- Whites are not uniquely evil.
- Blacks are just as racist if not more so.
- Racism is dead.
- I don’t like your tone. A post of yours made me upset!
- Your talk about race is divisive. You need to kiss up to whites.
- You see racism in everything!
- Black crime statistics
- Black rape statistics, particularly the DOJ crime victimization numbers
- The average African IQ is 70
- Black American IQ
- The Bell Curve is right!
- The BET Fallacy: Using BET, Chris Rock, Rented Negroes or hip hop videos to prove something about black people
- Africans sold their own into slavery. The Arabs traded slaves too!
- The bootstrap myth: If Jews or Asians or my grandfather can make it in America, anyone can. Blacks are just a bunch of layabout whiners.
- Black pathology: Blacks are their own worst enemies.
- There is some truth to stereotypes.
- Racism is universal, natural, part of human nature.
- The White Inventor argument.
Future Broken Record Argument posts:
- The higher black crime rates proves that blacks have greater criminal tendencies than whites.
- Affirmative action
- You hate white people: Criticism of whites can only come from hatred or racism.
- Whites do not benefit from racism, past (slavery, genocide, Jim Crow, etc) or present.
- Race is a fact of science.
- Making general statements about whites is racist.

And they will use the documented broken record arguments to derail, disrupt and try to destroy other posts.

This is nothing more than a tactic to avoid arguments one can’t win.

Duck,
These arguments are not about winning. These are a list of the most commonly used replies given in regards to the subject of race and racism.
The point of such arguments is not trying to get the upper hand but to get the kind of point across that has been censored too many times.

@ bro
That sounds nice. And I believe you’re sincere. But if you think everyone’s motives are entirely pure then I’ll remind you that neither abagond nor his readers are exempt from the criticisms mentioned in his post titled Reading Thucydides.

Hi Abagond,
I love the main picture on your blog (I am not a drop out, I am not a lazy person etc.) Can you please tell me where you got it from? Thanks in advance.

LOL! Someone is mad that the power of their derailments are being taken away from them. That alone should tell you how baseless your arguments are. I love when people who are not black are “experts” on black people. Black people are not even experts on black people. Good idea on this thread, Abagond. Now I can stop rolling my eyes every time I have to read the same excuse, pseudo-science, biased, derailments, etc. At least I hope. Racist are not exactly the smartest people…

And I should remind you that you are not exempt from that as well. There are examples that show that your motives are not exactly pure themselves.

Another step in the evolutionary process of counter racism.
Like when after experiencing troll after racist troll while trying to talk honestly and openly about racism, when abagond (a popular web blog commentator)
decides to do a post on poc’s first racist experience and has to warn with the threat of banning – any racist troll from commenting .
Result a blog site where poc can safely express themselves without harassment or abuse.(at least on the page and post)
I regularly find it amusing when ugly vicious people help build the very thing you need to defend yourself against them.
