Another argument on Facebook about whether its reasonable to blame white people for the votes Roy Moore did get. White people as a whole, that is. Their whiteness, specifically.
Because it is. If white evangelicals vote differently to white non-evangelicals, it suggests this is more to do with belief than skin colour.

In the same way, black evangelicals have different values to black secular intersectionals. Had a lot of arguments about that.

Belief is endogenous.

To what? Clearly not to white people as those who didn't share the belief didn't vote for Moore. In the same way, we don't blame all brown people for Islamism.
-
That’s a bad analogy. Blaming conditions prevailing in many Muslim-majority countries would be much closer, and it would likely change “we don’t” to “we do”.
-
Huh? I'm talking about in our countries. I do blame the prevailing conditions in America for white evangelical Christian hypocrisy. Why do you blame all brown people for Islamism?
-
What in the world are you talking about??? What kind of vile question is that?
-
What didn't you understand? You said to change 'we don't' to 'we do' if we can blame prevailing conditions. Why? Why would that make it reasonable to blame a whole race for the criminal actions of different ideological zealots?
-
Blaming conditions is fundamentally different from - pretty much the opposite of - blaming the people. I’d think that was obvious.

That doesn't make any sense, Sven. How does race come in then? Are we having a language barrier?
