Or it could be a whole lot better if kindness and compassion were more prevalent than ignorance and self-righteousness. But you don’t want things to be better, do you? You like the injustice and inequality and intolerance just fine because it’s all geared towards punishing them and seeing how you’re not one of them you are a beneficiary of the biases and bigotry that keeps others down.

Ah yes, you are the moral one. That is what you do when someone has a different view than you. And then you characterize them in an inaccurate way so you can make them the enemy.

And reasonable people see this and will then vote against crazies like you. Why do you think people voted for a complete imbecile a couple years ago? But keep on with your SJW antics.

Why do you think dude in Bethesda rudely yelled racial insults at that Asian woman? Are you ADHD? Stay on topic.
Not everything in life is about left versus right, not everything in life is about political ideologies and party affiliations.
Sometimes - most times actually - what matters most in life are basic things like respect and kindness and compassion.
The fact that you put politics first above all else speaks volumes about your lack of humanity and your need to get a life.

Fortunately not everyone holds the US to such a low standard.

I am not condoning anything that was said yesterday on this thread, but I want to throw a bit of context out there. I actually think that this is healthy that we are having this discussion in the US. Because I grew up as a black person in Japan and if you want to see EVERYDAY racism, try being a foreigner in Japan. There are actually everyday useable words that you can use in daily conversation to talk about your disdain for foreigners. I am not excusing, I am just saying, it is better that we can have this discussion that being so self satisfied with our racial superiority that we don't even consider it slightly an issue.

When I was an adult, I then moved to the middle east where Police won't even give a local a ticket. The blame goes to the foreigner. The amazing thing is that the police are foreigners as well. They are predominately Jordanian and they are very nice and professional. But they know that it is simply unacceptable to suggest that a local may have been incorrect. You would never want to potentially embarrass them. Whereas the foreigner will have to pay their fine by the time their visa is up for renewal.

And then I returned to the US and saw that people like to have incredibly long meaningless discussions about a road rage incident that occurs a thousand times a day in the previous two areas I mentioned. But at least here somebody is embarrassed by it.

We haven’t needed to actively participate in a shooting or call in an erroneous harassment report or drive our knees into a stranger’s neck to be culpable for it all: our silence has been as deadly and that’s the story here. Racism doesn’t get this prolific and profitable and emboldened without our our inaction, without our abstinence, without our averted glances and uneasy truces and sidestepped difficult conversations.

We can’t pretend to understand the injustices people of color go through, but what we can do is stand up and refuse to remain silent.

Without decades of largely unabated and unchecked violence, a white police officer doesn’t press the life out of George Floyd in the middle of the day knowing he is being recorded.

Without a leader who offers “both sides” false equivalencies after a car plows through peaceful Charlottesville marchers, we don’t have armed crowds assembling at state capitols to intimidate politicians in a pandemic that is dis proportionally decimating communities of color.

White Americans need to reckon with the reality:

America is still set up for the Amy Coopers and not the Christian Coopers.

Very well said and thank you for saying it!

All of this, with emphasis on the bolded.

We're not going to put crazy liberals into office just because liberals do crazy things. I'm sorry but you make no sense.

Hi racist poster. PP makes all the sense. You're just threatened by the fact that now white people might call you out too and no one believes the black people. Scared a bit?

So do you think the treatment of people of color by law enforcement is "blown out of proportion"? Numbers don't lie. Statistics tell the truth. I'll give you a hint. Black women are most at risk in an encounter with the police, next black men.

NP.

I've seen a lot of posts like yours (I'm not sure if it's one person or a lot of people), and I am genuinely curious what is going on in your head. You are characterizing people who want to fight racism as though they are trying to hurt people.

Do you understand that most of us are simply fighting to be seen as humans, equal to our white counterparts, and to enjoy the same level of freedom, autonomy, and opportunity that they do? Why is that fight so offensive to you? Is it because you believe it to be unnecessary? I genuinely would like to understand where you're coming from.
