Not sure if this article was ever posted, but this might be the realest thing I've read on racism...

Article was weak sauce. Hopefully this is a thread dedicated to actual readers, and not whiny children on their androids who just wanna get to the gifs.

So we should stop talking to the majority in this country (over 60%) about issues minorities face, because of anonymous postings on the internet that can literally come from anywhere, and from anybody? Cowardice once again from entitled dummies.

If only when i was growing up being called a nigger, terrified of the local kkk in a fucking blue as all hell liberal state rearing their ugly heads. Terrified because tv shows and black movies, were all basically narrating this problem of racism, and the violence it entails in this country. If only back then i could just write an article, and dial out from reality because my feelings.

She made a good point about the hypocrisy in the fact that a person may take offense to black lives matter, but wont say shit about blue lives matter. Then it becomes this back and forth of semantics.

Much of this shit is just good ole confirmation bias at work too.

To answer some of her individual quotes to, as they were truly, remarkably silly.

“There must be more to the story.”

There is nothing wrong with someone asking this, as we would ask the same shit if the tables were turned. No one should just be accepting this poor journalism we get these days from morons with high priced macbooks as some type of end all be all of a case. Internet detectives are good at times, worse most of the time. If youre offended by someone merely wanting more information, you have a fundamental problem with yourself already.

“If you people would just do what you’re told.”

This is partially true, but annoying when worded poorly, and without sympathy for what just transpired. Would michael brown be alive today if he simply waved his hand as a sorry/thank you when jay walking and asked to get out of the street. Most likely. I mean he wouldve still been arrested for strong armed robbery eventually, but yes, its likely if he complied totally from the very first second, hed just be on probation right now, trying to get his life together. If walter scott wouldnt have ran, would he be alive right now, likely yes. Does it justify the shooting? NOPE.

The funny thing is, black families tell their kids, or use to tell them how to deal with cops all the time. It was basically comply, because they will shoot you. But we dont call ourselves racist for this teaching. We dont get mad at each other for this train of thought. We've literally written it into comedy in our movies and tv shows.

“Cops have a hard job.”

They do, and? If she thinks she can handle repeat felons high on meth that will do anything to not get arressted, and end up having to chase and tackle these assholes to the ground, then hopefully restrain them and handcuff them without issue. Feel free. What world does she live in that she thinks the jobs easy. I just saw a video of some latino dude shooting a cop in the leg earlier, and the cop was completely nice to the guy the whole time.

“White people get shot too.”

They do. How is this offensive to bring up? LOL

“He was just another thug. Good riddance!”

This isnt the normal sentiment in the mainstream. Taking online comments from anonymous people all over the world as gospel is dangerous to the well being of your psyche.

“Why do you people make everything about race?”

Thats an annoying one, but they say this because the mainstream media has set us up for crying wolf sometimes before all the information is out, and then we end up looking like race baiters to people already looking to confirm their bias. Even more problematic, is we're happy to take the bait every time. Every time we're happy to jump behind a camera and chat chat chatter about some shit we barely have any facts about.

Sometimes it is about race, and if they cant see that, then we need to do a better job at articulating why said incident is about race. Clearly theyre not listening, or more than likely from my observations, we're doing a piss poor job at communicating the issues we face in this country.

“What about black on black crime?”

Sensible question when the context is appropriate, and unfortunately more often than not the contest is appropriate, because people get on social media, or on cable news, and cant stay focused on the topic at hand. They end up talking about white people, and blaming white people for shit. Then here comes the black on black crime shit.

Outside of that, its an idiotic deflection, and misunderstanding of the slogan black lives matter that stemmed out of the trayvon case, and subsequent police shootings that followed.

“All lives matter.”

Eh, whatever. Dont feel like tackling this one.
 
I don't understand why would anyone try to have a serious discussion on Race on the Internet and at an obvious click bait site. Like my nigga the whole point is for you to keep coming back to their site to generate more Web traffic, which in return helps their ad revenue and overall profit margins.

You don't storm an enemies position when they have stronger numbers and the high ground. Bait them out choose when, where and how you plan on fighting and winning, and execute. The Internet should never be an intellectual battlefield.

Why are we losing solid hours out of our day, wearing our fingertips numb on keyboards and touch screens in an attempt to explain to some dense dude-bro why “All lives matter” is a messed up and functionally redundant response to “Black lives matter”?

To collect tears.

 
This is it right here

much of white America is more bothered by our methods of protest than they ever will be about the injustices we’re protesting.

I dont blame the author for being tired. I thought it was a solid article. I think the conclusion was more so that we build amongst each other & focus our efforts on those whom we can build bridges with. Not those who are content on remaining ignorant.

They're people out here too preoccupied with WINNING A VERBAL ARGUMENT. Its a futile cause.
