Dictionary atheists are a movement who insist that no one should think of any positive connotations for the word "atheist".

http://pharyngula.wikia.com/wiki/Dictionary_atheists

I donâ€™t object so much to atheists who derive different meanings (although I think theyâ€™re wrong!) â€” what I find infuriating are atheists who refuse to derive any meaning from atheism. Itâ€™s a null and void philosophy, then. So why are they arguing about it? Atheism is a philosophy? And ever...

PZ is bringing up his "dictionary atheism" nonsense again. He seems to be confused about the difference between definition and implication. But most of his commenters don't seem to agree with him, so PZ iz angree! Iâ€™m saying it has diverse implications that all intelligent atheists recognize â€” a...

I don't get it. Are white people not allowed to like the NWA? White people must simultaneously like NWA (to avoid being racist) and dislike NWA (to avoid being racist).

LOL. I like this guy's style.

Race exists as a social construct. What tends to matter is perceived race, not actual genetic closeness. If one's perceived race is "white" or "black" then that is effectively one's race, socially speaking, even if it may not make sense from a biological standpoint.
