If you're so afraid of Hamtramck I can drive you 10 minutes to the North/East/West and drop you off. You will come running back to Hamtramck, same with Dearborn and its Muslim population and thank your lucky stars that there is a concentrated community of immigrants.

What a ridiculous article that you can tell was ginned up by a journalist looking to make things much more controversial than they really were. Anyone who knows anything about Detroit knows that the neighborhoods have been changing long before any Muslims came. It was called the Detroit Riots back in 1967. The neighborhoods have long been changing.

All these anti-Muslim types are either dinosaurs living in the 1950s or people who live in places that don't have any Muslims and just get their info from TheAmericanThinker or some other right-wing site. Anyone who has had to deal with a place like Detroit is thankful that there are islands of relative sanity like Dearborn and what Hamtramck is turning into.

Adding to the city’s burgeoning diversity are the young, white hipsters who have begun to migrate here from surrounding areas for the food, bars and art shows.

On a recent Saturday, about 40 people crowded into a one-room studio to sip wine from red Solo cups and enjoy a watercolor exhibition by African American artist Olayami Dabls as reggae music thumped in the background. The nudity and sexuality portrayed in Dabls’s paintings provided a startling contrast that afternoon to the handful of veil-clad Muslim women poring over produce at the Yemeni-owned grocery store visible across the street through the window.

You both are a special kind of stupid.

SR and his "anti-Muslim" accusations only go so far. They achieved that point some time ago. It seems SR has been reduced to a blabbing pile of broken keyboards...even after he threatened (😂) not to respond to my post anymore.

PM was owned ages ago but his cherry picking and pettifogging live on, almost as if someone else has been living vicariously through him (🤔).

Muslim communities to that degree do not belong in the U.S.

I know right? Reggae in Michigan? The very thought.

I really don't want to get caught up in the race war that the CE forums have turned into, and I know it's been said more then once already, but for one second just consider the irony of this statement about a nation comprised almost entirely of immigrants.

Who does belong in the U.S.?

Good question. If we appeal to history or equitable understanding, the CE Fascists will surely bully us and shout us down as engaging in 'librul guilt' or advancing the 'anti-white' agenda or perhaps (ironically) as displaying "PC" discourse. So let us attempt to make as our guide the least controversial authority on the United States possible: the United States Constitution.

The greater irony comes in the form of someone regurgitating a phrase that has been misused and over-levied by the ADL, an organization run by dual-citizens that constantly attacks White people and advocates for policies that will ensure their future minority status in the country they built. The ability to repeat CNN headlines falls well short of being able to see a generation or two down the line. Work on the time preference, friend.

… was a document created by European men, one that will surely fall by the wayside when their votes can no longer be counted on to uphold it.

Fascists


What a time, where the ‘fascists’ are those who want to protect their kin, women, children, and living spaces from invasions by third world hordes that commit violent crimes at high rates and have little respect for Western values. Whereas the individuals who want to keep the door open to those criminal hordes are called, what, ‘progressives’? It’s beyond Orwellian. But the day of the rope will come.

The evidence is that the fearmongers are those with a special kind of stupid. And why would you be tense about something that happened two years ago?

Correct: those advocating for policies which "ban" Muslim immigrants in particular, reject asylum seekers based upon their religion, and so forth are in opposition to the United States Constitution, and in opposition to the American value of freedom of religion as well. The question of what makes for a sound immigration policy which will benefit the country and its citizens in the long term is a reasonable one, and it ought to be discussed and debated, but religious tests are not an option, at least short of a new amendment.

And the irony continues as one proposing the building of walls to suppress the barbarian hordes suggests that others work on the time preference. Old ideas are neither good nor bad because of their age. Maybe other people are saying what I said because it's relevant.

I don’t think so, friend. You used that particular phrase because you have been trained to repeat it by dual-citizen subversion groups like the ADL. Simple as that, that’s how propaganda works. But that aside, pretty sure I’ve never said anything about a wall on here, and you, sir, need to look into what time preference actually means. I’m not trying to be insulting here, just letting you know your presumed definition seems a bit off.

And what have they done exactly to warrant their exclusion en masse on the basis of ethnicity/religion? Blasted a loud call to prayer? Come from a country that is experiencing war?

CC and SR...you are welcome to read the "[Mod Edit]" thread and find your niche. But, may I ask, was PM putting on a clinic on how to evade answer and attempt set a smog screen of distraction?
