That’s your example of horrendous behavior that deserves to be met with violence? Some girl yelled at you?

That you’re not interested in having a conversation about race is obvious. You’d rather lecture at me about my emotion, which frankly is none of your business. It is frankly astonishing how long you’ve continued this conversation, which started with you whining about not being able to have a dialog about race (dialog…

You asked if I was really angry and complained that we couldn’t have conversations about race if people were going to react with rage. What exactly do you think I’m mischaracterizing?

I mean, you whined about the lack of dialog surrounding race, and then when I offered you a dialog, including a contrasting point of view, instead of (1) addressing (i.e. engage in the dialog you claimed was not being had) or (2) politely explaining that despite complaining about the lack of dialog you did not want to…

I mean, I addressed, substantively, your point (I didn’t dismiss it, you are misinterpreting disagreement as dismissal). If you wanted to have a discussion about race, well, we could be having that discussion right now. Instead, you have chosen to ignore that discussion and instead focus on your perception of my…

Like, yeah, snark, not genuine offense or outrage. I mean, I can understand getting upset with Jezebel’s snark about something serious, but in this case, their snark is over a dumb pun Biden made. That seems an appropriate target for snark!  The entire point of a dad joke like Biden made is to induce eye rolling, and…

Anger?  Rage?  What are you even talking about?  Why are you trying to divert a discussion about race in America into one about your perception of my mood?  Do you want to have a discussion about race, like you said, or would you rather just police my attitude?

Cool. Enjoy the rest of your miserable life taking offense to every perceived affront to your inflated white boy ego.

I’m not sure what “poorly contrived” even is supposed to mean, but whatever it means there is a difference between that and actual offense. 

Lol, so you recognize it as “mock” and yet...?

Are you even capable of recognizing joy?

Exactly what is it about this snarky ass post that you think betrays offense in any way?  I wonder if you even get the irony of implying the author is humorless...

Yeah, “I wouldn’t have said as many mean things about Trump” always seemed like a questionable campaign message for a Democratic primary candidate in 2020.

bro...

incredible comment.

We’ve been having a conversation about race since before the founding of the country, and I’m not aware of any point in time, anywhere, where white people were not intimately involved in that discussion, and in fact central to it.  And now is no different.  Maybe don’t take every turn of phrase so fucking literally.

your grandmother sucked

I would say she made her point pretty strongly, considering that she provoked this sort of reaction from Kweli! I don’t think there is a way of making a “drama-free” point about this.
