That's racial tension

2019-02-18 21:39:44 UTC  

The fear people feel when a black person walks onto their train car? That's racial tension

2019-02-18 21:39:59 UTC  

The black guy who hates Puerto Ricans in my community?

2019-02-18 21:40:02 UTC  

Racial tension

2019-02-18 21:40:10 UTC  

Racial tension isn't "whites vs minorities"

2019-02-18 21:40:14 UTC  

It's *everyone*

2019-02-18 21:40:19 UTC  

And it's natural.

2019-02-18 21:40:25 UTC  

Alright, here's my point. I think I can make the distinctions now.

I'll give you that there is a "racial tension". What I am telling you that is NOT true, is that this "racial tension" you are speaking about is ***Natural***. It is ***artificial***.

2019-02-18 21:40:46 UTC  

Racism, as it has been told to us, *is* manufactured

2019-02-18 21:41:07 UTC  

While I can appreciate your personal resonance with racial tension, it is only your experience and dies not mean that’s what everyone else experiences. Now who is making assumptions.

2019-02-18 21:41:23 UTC  

There's a "racial tension", but is NOT Natural; it is ARTIFICIALLY made by the media. That's my point.

2019-02-18 21:41:39 UTC  

Racial tension exists, "racial tension" does not, is that better?

2019-02-18 21:41:46 UTC  

Elaborate.

2019-02-18 21:41:54 UTC  

The racial tension is blown out of proportion. The media is feeding it.

2019-02-18 21:42:08 UTC  

Yes.

2019-02-18 21:42:12 UTC  

What the media calls racial tension is fake, yes, because it calls into play many things that don't truly exist, like "microagressions". But the vast majority of people don't care about that.

2019-02-18 21:42:35 UTC  

The media is *trying* to blow the existing, real, racial tension out of proportion, yes

2019-02-18 21:42:46 UTC  

But that doesn't mean that racial tension doesn't exist on its own

2019-02-18 21:42:58 UTC  

You >"The media is trying to blow the existing, real, racial tension out of proportion, yes"

2019-02-18 21:43:00 UTC  

You can't blow something out of proportion if it doesn't exist to begin with.

2019-02-18 21:43:14 UTC  

I correct it: "The media is trying to blow the SELFMADE, real, racial tension out of proportion, yes"

2019-02-18 21:43:31 UTC  

🤦

2019-02-18 21:43:37 UTC  

That's about as creative as this

<:nasalies:485141702403686403>

2019-02-18 21:43:47 UTC  

Be more original 😂

2019-02-18 21:43:49 UTC  

Not ridiculous if you look at what I have been saying.

2019-02-18 21:44:05 UTC  

No, I'm saying, don't modify what I said, just say it on your own

2019-02-18 21:44:12 UTC  

I mean, look at Morgan Freeman, he even said this: "Wanna know how to get rid of racism? Stop talking about it". Sounds simple, but it holds some truth.

2019-02-18 21:44:32 UTC  

(No, I'm saying, don't modify what I said, just say it on your own" It's ok, I got you).

2019-02-18 21:45:02 UTC  

If I started spewing in the media that all colored people are going to bomb the hell out of the airport, don't you think the people will start looking at black people with suspisciousness? yea.

2019-02-18 21:45:22 UTC  

But that doesn't mean they ARE like that truthfully.

2019-02-18 21:45:35 UTC  

But the fear will still be there

2019-02-18 21:45:41 UTC  

And that's the tension I refer to...

2019-02-18 21:45:47 UTC  

Hold up

2019-02-18 21:45:58 UTC  

I just realized we've been talking about two different things

2019-02-18 21:46:01 UTC  

Tell me "Check" when it's my turn, so I don't cut you off.

2019-02-18 21:46:09 UTC  

The media is feeding fear into the population with their fake propaganda.

2019-02-18 21:46:28 UTC  

Check

2019-02-18 21:46:39 UTC  

It’s all by design

2019-02-18 21:46:51 UTC  

Check

2019-02-18 21:47:07 UTC  

Alright, here's one great example of what I've been trying to say
