[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8913593, member: 673702"] And this just demonstrates the ridiculousness that is Always Right Rob. He's going to insist (probably for multiple pages) that racism is indeed a traditional value despite everybody else knowing what "traditional values" means. Of course the basis of his argument is flawed since there also existed people who had traditions of assimilation, desegregation, integration, etc. So following Rob's logic any all values that previously existed would be "traditional values". Furthermore, this means traditional values could/would often be at odds with one another. Basically, this is just a variation of what I will refer to a Rob's "Literally Fallacy", where he attempts to apply literal definitions to a more nuanced concept. In this case, it's "selective literally", since he could have just as easily said Ameica has a tradition of fighting for civil rights, equality, etc. He purposely choose a different route. [/QUOTE]
