As Dook Larue might say, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnn
The Babylon Bee is reporting that the murder rate has plateaued:
Does the European genocide of the 1940’s also reflect a sort of self-loathing? If not, what is the difference when white-on-white violence occurs?
Or do you concede that it’s also a mistake to assume that whites are good people?
Please name 3 rappers who best fit exemplify your description so we can get an idea of what you mean.
So what’s the distinction between 1994 Rwanda and 1990s Yugoslavia?
I really hope you realize the Babylon Bee is satirical…
I wouldn’t throw around terms like that when you think this red head has black skin. Genetics isn’t your strong suit…
Around 620,000 people died in the Civil War in the US. Mostly white people.
Is this an example that white people are not good people since they killed each other? How may black people died in WWI and WWII compared to white people? If blacks killing blacks is your metric to prove if they are good or bad people can’t we use it for other wars too?
You and I both know there is no chance in hell of having a reasonable conversation with this guy. I wouldn’t waste my time.
I am not sure quite what set off this particular rant, but you would be advised to avoid this sort of outright appeal to racism.
Paragraph 1 ignores or avoids addressing the issue that other communities have similar populations and are not suffering to the same extent. (Throwing in a remark that it is just the “less-intelligent blacks” does not excuse the racism in the post.)
Paragraph 2 was written by someone who ignores or avoids addressing the issues of Northern Ireland, the former Yugoslavia, and other areas where non-African people have engaged in rather stupid internecine violence.
In Paragraphs 3 & 4 you ignore or avoid the lessons of history in which people around the world have continued self-destructive behavior despite the obvious nature of their “mindless” actions.
And in Paragraph 4 you appeal to an image of a variety of music that you do not appear to actually understand and to which you may not have actually listened.
You will not win any debates and you may very well lose your posting privileges with this sort of inflammatory post.

Of course. It seems pretty obvious.
A couple of years ago I posed a question on Facebook as to who’s dumber: People who think the Bee is real news or people who think the Bee is fake news pretending to be real news.
[rattles cane] I remember when The Onion was the ONLY satirical news site on the Internet!
There are like nine thousand of them now.
How about a link to the stupid gun news of the day thread? Is that still a thing?
I had a former pastor post a Bee article as truth a couple years ago. It never hurts to be cautious.
In fairness, it’s been harder than usual for the last couple of years to tell the difference. Wasn’t “Donald Trump Elected President” a headline you’d have expected to see in The Onion as late as 2015?
Best line from the article:
