Okay, this took 30 seconds again:
It’s the element of truth that makes it effective.
Probably the right decision by your parents. I’m not sure what your teachers were thinking.
It’s lazy to read the whole thing twice and give my honest reading? After all the disingenuous bullshit you’ve served up to me? Pish and tosh.
You’re technically right, though: in a sense that wasn’t predominantly about blacks’ loss of life at white hands, because most of it was nebulous and anodyne and not about anything in particular. But the only specific agenda I gleaned was about police shootings. If I missed something, quote it!
I just fucking quoted it. Jesus. This is getting awfully old.
What part of that could unambiguously not possibly be about police shootings?
I can’t help myself:
Congratulations on your second Wiki cite. Now maybe an interview or protest where the emphasis was on something other than police shootings?
No thanks. I’m not interested in your continuing goalpost shifting. Just face it – you were very wrong about BLM. Very obviously wrong. You should have known better and now you’re trying to make excuses for your ignorance.
It’s okay. I’ve made mistakes before too.
:rolleyes:
Did the riots just “happen”? Did Black Americans living in Detroit just wake up and decide it was going to be Afro American Halloween and scare whites? Or were they angry at something else?
While you’re speaking of race riots, let’s not forget the other race riots:
East St Louis 1917
Chicago 1919
Tulsa 1921
Watts 1965*
*Interesting how it almost presaged the riots of 1992.
Uggh. I really have to stop engaging with Shodan about race. I came across this thread: https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=830768&page=3 in which Shodan insists that certain black people should be considered as n-words, and justifies this belief by citing a Chris Rock comedy bit.
Blech. I get it, this is how you feel, and we don’t have to discuss this any longer. I hope you don’t pass this awful stuff on to your children.
I really feel stupid. Uggh. Sorry for stringing that out so long for the readers of this thread. I had been a participant in that thread and somehow didn’t remember it.
Hey, don’t feel bad. Racist fuckwads don’t feel bad, why should you?
Andy, I agree with you about what Shodan said in that thread. I’m surprised, though, that you used the n-word multiple times. (If I have ever written/typed it, or said it out loud, I don’t remember it.)
I didn’t use it – using it would be calling someone by the slur, or otherwise using it to demean/denigrate black people. I referenced it.
Actually, a better word than “reference” – I didn’t use the slur, I mentioned it.
Black woman told she was not hired because her name is “too ghetto”.
That’s finally a story where I can believe the company was hacked. There is no way a company sends out an email like that on purpose.
No: you used neither italics nor quotation marks, which surprised me. I wouldn’t even mention that word, personally.
I’m not really concerned about the opinion of someone who supports and defends white supremacist pseudo science on how to discuss the definitions of racial slurs.
