Or maybe she was just having a real bad day
and make a stupid mistake
... a real bad day does not justify the other toxic things she's said that night
And I'm not saying she was right to say what she said, just trying to understand why she'd say it, is all
And bad days don't give ppl a carte blanche freebie on saying some really f'd up shit
Otherwise terminal ppl will have all the freebies in the world to be dicks
You and I are in agreement on that, yes
Narcissists take freebies as writ.
So, what is it BLM wants? And this might actually help you understand why she said what she said. I'll give you a hint, it's in the name: Black Lives Matter.
I'm assuming this woman was black, yes? Not a white ally or something?
Yes she's black
The original intention was to reduce police brutality.
It got morphed into Black Supremacy and execution of all non-blacks
Not quite. You're not digging deep enough. WHY do they wanna reduce police brutality? Why would a group call themselves "black lives matter" and how does that relate to police brutality?
I honestly don't think they really care about any rights for or treatment of blacks. I think they just saw a movement for power and money which was being controlled by their own kind, and they decided to dig in.
tl;dr - she was mouthing off how the crackers needs to move aside for the blacks because of oppression. I said uh... that's rather inflammatory, how would you like i tif someone dropped the N word?
She said then they should be lynched so they can understand how it's like to be lynched...
And the convo continued to spiral downward from there
"So they can understand how it's like."
She just told you what she wants right there.
So what does she feel like she's not getting?
It was 2019... there's no mass lynchings going around
But they're getting shot by cops, right?
At the end, power. Because we eventually got to AA and how I disagreed w/the quota they're putting on Asians in being accepted into the city's top tier HS and instead, allowing a greater number of blacks just because they're black. After that, she called me a white supremacist. So I was done
Yes, just don't shoot at cops or commit crime. That tends to reduce your probability of being shot by a cop
Ok, let me try this a different way. You brought up the issue of racial discrimination against Asians in schools, right? How does that make you feel, relative to THIS particular situation?
Fundamentally, WHY is that a problem?
What does said discrimination say about YOU
Is this a rhetorical Q or serious one?
serious
dark, assuming their intentions are honest and they actually feel there is need for a change to achieve some equality, that they feel wronged - That scenario puts nothing between us and them except the propaganda. Problem is, that's the propaganda they produce and disseminate, and you're written off with slurs if you question it.
Nothing about me. I'm against AA of any kind or discrimination that is irrelevant to the field in question when standards are set.
Yes, but why?
What does AA make you feel about your efforts?
If you score high on a standardized test, you deserve to get into the school of your choice. Having an arbitrary quota based on skin color is itself the definition of racism.
How or what I feel is absolutely irrelevant to the principle at hand, which is setting for a genuinely racist policy.
So in other words, you might say that discrimination based on race, makes it feel like your efforts, wait for it ... don't matter?
I'd be against AA whether it was for or against asians.
If you're trying to falsely equivocate being anti-AA on the same degree of BLM, I'm just gonna stop you there. They're not even remotely close
Ok, so you're not getting it, so let me spell it out ...
You're trying to appeal to emotion. That shit does not validate an argument
Emotion is the reason why they do what they do. Human nature is to make decisions based on emotion and then rationalize why you made the right choice after, even if you didn't.
Excusing their shitty power grabbing behavior by simply waving it off as making an emotional decision is not very helpfull
So here, let me spell it out for you.
What "Black Lives Matter" wants is ... to matter.
To feel like their lives matter. To feel like black lives matter.
Again, it's right there in the name. That tells you everything. At the moment, they feel like their lives don't matter, whereas other lives - of other races - do, or at least matter more than theirs, when everyone's should matter equally. All lives matter, right? But they feel like we don't really mean that as a society, and use unjust killings by cops as just one of many examples for why they believe that. Whether it's actually true or not, that's how they feel; and we can argue statistics and so forth, but at the end of the day, it changes how you deal with them whether you think they're after power or after a sense of belonging, yes?
