Mad horse shoeing going on in srs.
I wish I had a time machine so I could go back to when the first internet theorist was about to create the horse shoe theory and unplug their computer
Horseshoe theory predates the internet.
As do horseshoes themselves.

Hell, Animal Farm is practically about it.
Ugh. Stop mansplaining.
The truth hurts doesn't it, SRS?
it's as much truth as saying that nature loves the golden mean
it only works if you fudge the numbers a bit
Separating people based on race is a white supremacist talking point.
See what i mean? It only works if you strip all the nuances away. Forcefully relocating anyone who isn't white doesn't sound much like exploring the sociological outcomes of trans racial adoption and whether there would be situations where it wouldn't be the best choice for the welfare of the child.
So its okay because your side uses a dictionary to construct your argument for racial separation.
SJWs hate the dictionary and make up their own definitions whenever convenient.
Well, when constructing arguments they find big long words to say "I really think the klan has some decent ideas but I want to seem smarter than they are"
Yeah well it's easy to out argue things I haven't even said. Though since you've started...
Do you seriously think there wouldn't be extra hurdles in the inter-personal relationships of everyone involved in a trans racial adoption? And that additional resources might be needed to successfully get over the specific problems that might arise?
As opposed to, you know, leaving children in a situation where they have no family at all?
How about the rights of the child to actually have a family is more important than the desires of SJWs for the child to have a PoC family?
Somehow this has got derailed away from my initial point that the horse shoe theory is bad political science for "centrists", so I'll just say that I don't know where you think I said that no family would be the best option in any but the most extreme circumstances.
I'd ask the resident expert, but she's white so you don't believe she has an opinion on the matter.
Aww come on now, ignoring my post and making snide deflections already? This won't do at all.
welp pack it up people this just got boring
Only if black people and white are substantially different as people.
>whether there would be situations where it wouldn't be the best choice for the welfare of the child.
Don't you think its pretty cruel to pass on adopting a child for racial reasons?
That's like fucked up.
Read this post
It doesn't? Actually it sounds pretty close to me. It's like comparing genocide to eugenics or phrenology.
>exploring the sociological outcomes of trans racial adoption and whether there would be situations where it wouldn't be the best choice for the welfare of the child.
And that doesn't sound the same as disallowing it in the vast majority of cases, which is the topic that was actually being discussed.
Believing a person has a "true" culture based on their race is super super super racist.
I'm pretty sure the term goes back at least to the October Revolution, if not all the way back to the French Revolution.
It wouldn't be the French revolution, as we didn't have the horseshoe shape of Parliament until then.
I though the terms left and right originated from that revolution?
