Note that you said “generally.” But your original post said “never.” And that is.... simply... not... true. 

Human beings can have different opinions. They can like different facets of different thinkers. We’d all be better off if we stopped trying to identify everyone as “all bad” or “all good.” It’s not going to end well. 

That’s just not true. We can disagree with him, but he does actually present arguments and they are not that poorly thought out. It’s intellectually lazy to avoid engaging in a debate simply because you think the other person’s points are invalid. Sharpens the mind to engage. 

Let’s simplify the whole thing and just refer to everyone as “it” regardless of gender. 

Smart TV from China? No thanks, I only want my data exploited by US companies, thank you.

Not trying to be flippant. Legit question

Thank you for fighting the Detox Nonsense. More people need to just point out the idiocy of this pseudoscientific concept. 

Yeah, I think you’re right. Let’s call them the White Warriors.... that would... be better? Uh..... hm.

I don’t think that “one of the most basic rights of a human” is to be called what you want to be called. Might be one of the most basic courtesies, but that’s not what a right is. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that people -should- be called something different from what they like, but that’s not a right. 

What is the group isn’t a race? Then they’re just.... wrong? 

Stop body shaming people. It’s very problematic. I mean feel free to shame the evil part though. 

Yet. No one is talking about that yet.

You mean like “white privilege?”

Slavs are not a race, it’s a linguistic group. That’s my only point.

I really really dislike fox news. But can you link me up to a single time anyone on fox news “complained that only black people can use the n-word?” Like, don’t get me wrong, it wouldn’t shock me, but I would love to see an actual example of this rather than an anecdotal “of course they say that, right?” accusation.

Totally fine with ditching slave/master due to the connotations in American culture, but just as a historical note: Slave isn’t a racist term. It literally comes from reference to the Slavs (a white indo-European people), who were captured and regularly sold / traded by colonizing Norse & Viking groups between the 6th

It’s pretty obvious that light / dark (as in Day and Night) are the more likely root concepts behind this than anything having to do with skin color. White / Black are abstractions from this at best. It is the night that holds terrors, not the skin. 

OK. 

Genuine question: Why does her race and gender matter in the context of this article and title? She did something wrong and stupid and should be called out for it, but I guess I don’t know why the article couldn’t just be titled “Selfish Moron Defaces Nipsey Hussle Memorial?” I’d be less alarmed if the comments didn’t

Don’t forget the BEST STAR TREK on television right now: The Orville!
