there is not a bias bone in my body. I go by what i think is right. I dont belong to any group and never will. That's for sheep like you.
omg this is so rich.
And it's "biased" bone. You're an idiot and you don't know wordz.
Or maybe you're coining a new phrase, the "bias bone." Get on that shit man, might be your key to success: appealing to masculine brainlets with tiny dicks.
yea, it wouldn't be good for your health. I would stomp people like you who are afraid of their own shadows and use the internet to say things to others that they would never say in person.
Because beating someone up = winning an argument.
You're a gem.
You said the fact that you're more likely to be shot by cops as an unarmed black man vs an armed white man = racism. I'm saying that fails to consider case-by-case details.
I think only a black American knows what it's like to be black in America, and I also think there is no such thing as a universal experience based on race in America today. This is precisely why you have blacks identifying with all different kinds of movements, ideologies, worldviews, religions and so on. To try and say you understand the black American experience better than I do because you have black friends is just honestly kind of bizarre.
This is much clearer.
So often, people appeal to blacks who support Trump, who vote republican, who attend KKK rallies (it's true), etc. You're right, my black friends don't give me a full picture; and there are weird exceptions to everything.
But better than your exceptions are people who've told me stories and whose perspectives open onto a connected racial history in this country. You've read about idiosyncrasies, but you haven't talked to people. Racism in America doesn't reduce to individual experiences. You have to connect experiences to history and, as you say, context. Small-scale contexts aren't unimportant, but they still take place within a larger context--that of this country's history with racism. And those individual contexts link back to personal histories and experiences.
I don't mean to discount any single black person's experience, but it's not enough to disprove the lingering systemic gravity of racism literally written into our legal and judicial history.
In what way am I being uncritical? You literally just assumed I think the Michigan protesters were patriotic heroes or some shit based on as far as I can tell, nothing I've said at all. You're the uncritical one here. I've already stated that I disagree with the Michigan protesters' cause and have more sympathy for the Floyd cause, meanwhile you're just spewing a bunch of typical Maher-esque rhetoric against them while acting as if they were as aggressive as the Floyd protests which eventually became a clusterfuck of fires being started, stores being looted and streets being vandalized.
I'm not the kind to huff my own farts but I'm way less uncritical than you, especially lately. Not sure what's going on with you, anyway I'm going to tap out. I don't like how these things always devolve into a dogpile because you're the only one willing to speak up in here.
I don't think you're willing to recontextualize. You talk about context, but you're actually not being critical in doing so; you're relieving yourself of the responsibility to think about how context is never stable and isolated, but connected to a larger context. You can always expand the frame. You seem unwilling to do this.
So I'm sorry if you take offense, but you're making it easier for yourself by limiting your frame of reference.
MLK would have never burned down or looted anyone's property. But im glad you're repeating what currently seems to be the most viral quote in your little echo chamber. I love it.
