I truly wonder if the person with his bigoted views on the Political Forum is pullling our joint legs OR if he actally is such a throwback to Jim Crow days?

From what I have seen in the several years I have in The Villages, everyone gets along good in social or sport events. The clubs have different races attending, social groups are of different races, BUT there is ONE person who posts bigoted comments whenever possible.

What do the rest of you Political posters think of this? Do you feel there is the genuine hatred of this person as an underlying aspect of The Villages?

I don't think about it. I gave up long ago trying to get inside people's heads. My experience has been that when I do, I usually find them to be empty.

What is funny, if this is the internet I grew up with. The poster is probably a nice guy...but, being as this OP has such a burr in his panties it is just fun to hope the OP has a stroke from his high blood pressure and letting a stranger on the internet make him look like an idiot.

Probably just a troll having a lot of fun like Donald Trump himself.

I think that by talking about him, you are encouraging him. There is no law against being a bigot, so if he is ill mannered, that is his problem.

Maybe this helps:

NOPE!!! That is the "Adjusted" definition made up just for modern cry babies. Much like the word "faggot" has a brand new (in the past decade) definition of more than what was in the slang verbiage. Entomology is a female dog is it not? Seems to me, the one we KNOW is a bigot is the Anti-Trump yahoo...the other guy is probably just blowing on the little spark of life that is the OP.


Bigot

BIG'OT, noun

1. A person who is obstinately and unreasonably wedded to a particular religious creed, opinion, practice or ritual. The word is sometimes used in an enlarged sense, for a person who is illiberally attached to any opinion, or system of belief; as a bigot to the Mohammedan religion; a bigot to a form of government.

2. A venetian liquid measure containing the fourth part of the amphor, or half the boot.

BIG'OT

And as in most "groups" there is a minority that feels obligated to magnify, call attention to and in everybody's face about their what ever and their need for the spotlight.

As a result the majority of members, let's refer to them as the silent majority in this case, suffer the tar brushing.

As in all silent majorities, they get what they deserve.

BIG'OT

Webster's Dictionary 1828 - Online Edition
Websters Dictionary 1828 - Webster's Dictionary 1828 - bigot

Words evolve. This definition predates the civil war. Label someone a bigot and see how warmly they are treated by the group they hate. Try explaining to the hated group you are using the word as it was understood in 1828. That will work.

Exactly. The hard truth of the matter is gays in particular have no skin in the game. Blacks do.

I can tell from across the room if someone is black. BUT, if you do not TELL me you are gay (and are not more feminine than a school girl)...I CANT TELL.

Best way to not have your deviant sex used as a tool to judge you...DONT TELL ME ABOUT IT!!! I hold those who do to the same standard as adults who pick their nose and eat it. They are typically low self esteem attention whores.

What all 7 of them who live in the villages?

The demographics is what makes TV such a wonderful place. The day the minority population begins to rise is the day TV turns to crap like everywhere else they congregate.

A bigot has no "reason" for their views...there are PLENTY of reasons to be a bigot against minorities. They really do destroy an area when their numbers become too large. Show me ANYPLACE it doesn't happen...just one. No, I'm no bigot, I'm pragmatic trying to save my country from a literal minority invasion.

What you call a bigot...is just someone who doesn't agree with YOU. They think you're the "bigot" because you fail/refuse to see their view.

That's the problem when everyone in society is lied to by government, politicians, corporations, religions, education, and just about everyone you meet.

People get the strangest ideas about reality when they're constantly lied to. No wonder so many need psychotropic drugs.
