Based on my postings in the this forum, you'd characterize me as someone you could imagine would murder black people?

Originally posted by FMFI see no reason why you would object to it nor to find the moral gumption to oppose it if you were also of that epoch and of that class and had economic and religious interests in maintaining a cohesive social order. You can provide me with reasons why I should think otherwise now.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieSo what you are saying is, if I had been someone who was happy to lynch black people, I would probably have lynched black people? Couldn't that be said about anyone, including yourself?

Originally posted by FMFIf you can provide a reason as to why i should think that he would oppose lynching if he was of that epoch and of that social class then do so now. I have already stated that I see no problem with him or you for that matter assuming the very same circumstances as that of a plantation owner.
[b]No I am making a reference to a white person in a film, that being Paul Newman, have you never seen Cool Hand Luke? Oh dear it seems that in your ardour to land a blow you have overlooked the rather obvious, how very sad for you. Paul Newman was white last time I looked, was he not? He stated to the man with no eyes (also white) that he was shakin the bush ...[text shortened]... pi lynching people for your satisfaction" ...was not intended as a joke; you were being serious?
Originally posted by FMFYes it could but I think i would have the moral gumption to oppose it, I cannot say the same for you or divesgeester. If you could provide evidence of you opposing a moral that is held to be the common consensus then i may be swayed.
So what you are saying is, if I had been someone who was happy to lynch black people, I would probably have lynched black people? Couldn't that be said about anyone, including yourself?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieSo if I had been someone who was happy to lynch black people, I would probably have lynched black people, that's the blow you're trying to land here? Couldn't the same have been said of you: if back then, if you had been someone who was happy to lynch black people, you would probably have lynched black people? Is this what you're on about?

Originally posted by FMFI have answered this above. You see i can provide a plethora of evidence for defying popular opinion, can you do likewise?

Originally posted by FMFI am not asking what you have condoned, i am asking you what popular consensus or opinions have you opposed or taken a moral stance against? As far as I can discern you are simply happy to go with the flow, are you not?
What murders have I ever condoned in any of my contributions to this forum?
Originally posted by FMFNo violence is likely to get more people killed, is it not? I would have kidnapped the accused man and rode north with him to a safe haven, putting my own life on the line, but not that of others.
Would you have used violence to try to stop lynch mobs from murdering people?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI oppose discrimination against racial minorities. So I certainly wouldn't be disposed to murder people from racial minorities.
