I have done both personally. I’ve both talked to my friends about issues of racism and hammered the protestors for their actions. You can do both.
Protests following the killing of George Floyd
- Thread starter Abizzz
- Start date
But you're hammering people for putting their own lives at risk for a cause they believe in. Unless you meant the rioters/looters which I can understand (although don't agree with)
Anybody else selling off their funds and shares?
Wrong thread?
Yeah? Did you tell your friends how black people really love to moan about white people? Kudos to you, mate.
They are
it was a tongue in cheek reply to his racist posts about white people.
Not even remotely correct.
To be fair to them, ignorance is taught at very small age, and very hard to shake.
No, I mean as a consequence of all the property damage. Despite the pandemic and ongoing rioting, the stock market is unchanged from before they broke out. Makes no sense.
It's give and take. Racists give us a piece of their mind, mods take their posting privileges.
Again. It's not just protesting.
Challenge racist views around you and inherent in the worlds institutions.
It sounds like thats what you do, so keep up the good work
Nobody is suggesting to suspend the right of assembly. Never mind doing so indefinitely. It would be helpful if the protestors at least acknowledged that we’re in an extremely delicately poised moment in this pandemic. Countries trying to walk a tightrope as they ease off a lockdown that has decimated the economy.
By all means get out there and protest but there comes a point at which thronging the streets, day after day after day, is being downright reckless with the health and livelihoods of other people. And we all know that the people this virus is killing the most are the same people these protests are on behalf of. Which is fecked up
Empathy is hard trait to teach adults. Real racists aren't ignorant they just plain assholes.
True. It just seems never-ending here
That sounds like a pretty fair deal if you ask me!
Didn't fox news picture earlier imply that the stock market is doing well throughout protests? Think it went up 3.4% so far.
You'll probably get much better answers in the investment thread as most of us here are either trying to stir up shit by writing racist stuff and desperately appear as if we don't know why people react or react to racist shit.
With a few people genuinely offering differing views without those views being dogturds of course.
Why is it so hard to be anti-racist?
these days people are inherently anti-racist. It’s like having a tag line saying ‘I’m anti fascist’ well no shit!!
According to Fox News, shares always jump the week after race riots.
Wait until you guys find out Churchill was a racist
It's crazy isn't it? It's like the thread version of 'give them enough rope'. It's like, little by little, the protests go on longer and longer, and the conversations about racism go on for longer and longer, and people just end up outing themselves and what they really think because it's gone on too long for them to keep up the facade. Every 15 pages or so we find ourselves with a new person showing themselves up for what they really are.
My man you've shown your racist self up in this thread.
Eh? Are you just on auto complete he’s a racist response now?
There is many ways to be anti-racist. Like not voting for non-racist parties and politicians. If you live in a democratic country that is.
The Pogba threads are going to be spicy after all this.
And a "drunken bum" according to FDR
Is that so? Which utopian society do you live in?
Nice to see you aren’t silent on the matter.
Are your mates racist?
Are you sure about this post?
it was tongue in cheek in response to the whole white this white that stuff.
People are inherently anti-racist? Does that then mean that racism isn't really a problem in society any more, or what about systemic racism?
Wrong thread for it but the markets have been devoid of reality for a while
Here's the thing about being racist ironically: you're still being racist.
Despite the fact that my father had english parents, he was born and raised in China. Doesn't that technically make me half-chinese despite having no asian genetics?
ok, well I guess not all racism is bad then.
Who made a similar claim about white people? Who characterized all white people attitude?
I can’t be arsed going back through the thread. It’s a joke.
Can i just say that I don't feel racist because I don't do or say excatly what a non-white person over the internet wants me to do?
I must only attack the post. In which case, this post is an absolute shithouse cnut that needs a slap.
Ahh, feels good to attack things with tounge firmly in cheek.
I'm not entirely sure what this means.
