I don't go around calling people racial slurs, and neither does the company I keep, thanks.

Well I don't think anyone is advocating mass shootings, someone just said that they're surprised there aren't any. Like if some nut job shot up some evangelical megachurch and said it was in retaliation for Dylann Roof, well, you could kind of connect the dots in a way that you can't really see any sort of justification for why Dylann Roof himself was so angry. And the rest of it, my friends and family don't call black people ******s, so I think this is what Fly would call telling on yourself

I see. What is the correct response to a system that denies someone their humanity?

And what is the correct response to black people being in a Starbucks? Or knocking on your door?

Im not addressing the system. Im addressing individuals advocating violence and death on people with a different ideology than themselves.

Its not something I think belongs in the world.

Lol.

Perhaps you would like to read a book about the, you know, actual violence and death linked to the culture of calling people racial slurs rather than tilting at the imagined violence of people wondering why some people don't fight back harder?

You tell me.

This is really amazing. This black kid, 15 at the time of the crime, gonna do more time (65 years) for a policeman killing a friend of his than maybe all the police that killed citizens last year (last two years? Three?) combined.

#gatekeeping

I may have 50 in the soccer threads but its doubtful. probably more like 10.

I'll leave you all be. It took me all of about 8 posts to cover myself in glory. Me looking like an idiot doesnt refute the original point which is you shouldn't be calling for violence against folks. Its simply not the answer.
