Buzkashi in Tajikistan - Central Asia's oldest proto-polo ...
http://www.theodorekaye.com/buzkashi

Young spectators view a horde of buzkashi horses from a nearby hill in Dangara, southern Tajikistan. A buzkashi rider escapes from rivals with the prize goat carcass.

Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

This statement is racist against horses.

Hmm...

...Can an angry mob be racist - Yes.

Can the words, angry mob be racist - No

Just for Clyde, rather than just see the words you consider racist, look to the context in which they've been used :-)

Fascinating belief in Acceptable Bigotry is infecting these threads.

Next time, when a person posts "A Horde of Blacks are invading our neighborhoods".

I will place my Left Wing Bigoted Dunce Cap on and say. "Aren't you the most ethical, moral, non bigoted and tolerant person on this earth".

Repeating this eternal truth: The Bigoted and Anti-Semitic Left and Right, are the same.


What is the issue with the word "horde". The definitions that have been posted suggest it's a grouping term that is generally free of negative connotations (unlike, for instance, "gang"). Would "invaded by an as yet undetermined number of Jewish people with an army" have been any less offensive to you?
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

bobby...

Since you believe that anyone posting - "A Horde of Blacks are invading our neighborhoods". Is not a racist.

I rest my case.

Is it really that hard to answer a simple question?

Can you provide the link to where I made that comment? And could you answer the question you were asked?

So if I was to say: "A horde of Clydes has infected society"

I'm bigoted & anti-Semitic?

No. But a modern day description of a people as a "Horde of Blacks", "Horde of Jews", etc., is.

So you're saying that "a horde of Clydes infecting society" is correct then?

Unfortunately a horde of internet trolls has infected society with alternate realities. I don't think there is enough lithium chloride to save humanity.

That's a shame as it's used as a flame colorant producing dark red flames so we could see them coming - It would be a great early warning system :-)

You were asked some direct questions, not only by me but others as well. Answer those & you will have proved yourself worthy of having your questions answered.
