That’s the response I assumed I’d get. You’re nothing if not consistent, oh mocker of Life.
I don’t expect you care about what’s going on in the US, but every complaint you have—beyond your lack of physical attraction to black people, which you’ve made
very clear—is part of why these protests are going on right now.
There is deep systemic racism in this country, which has led to a disgusting disparity in how people are treated in all aspects of life.
Everything—education, job opportunities, housing—is more difficult here if you’re in a black, and there are constant reminders that this is not only by design, but supposedly correct because they are lesser than others. (Your comments about them being stupid, lazy animals very much included.)
Aside: This also highlights one of the reasons you have people promoting content like the one you summed up as “look at this black person doing amazing stuff”: When so many people are against you, it’s amazing that any person rises above that shit at all.
Anyway, you and I continue to have a fundamental disagreement here—unstoppable force vs. immovable object—about equality. I don’t think skin pigmentation makes anyone more or less, and I wish the rest of the world felt that way too. Not simply in the hippie
“everybody’s the same, man” sense, mind you, but because I also have no interest in thinking any more about this.
...and if I have no interest in thinking any more about this, I can only imagine how exhausted black folks are with this being their every day reality.
