Yes. A functioning society is pretty much built on this concept.

Again, anything is possible, but why would a group of people jump straight to rape if the dude was expelled for cheating?

Support him, but not publicly? What, like update their Facebook status to say their prayers are with him? As long as they are not being aggressive or threatening, then what’s the problem?

I admit I did. I still hold to my main point though that if you believe your friend to be innocent then you are perfectly justified in defending them publicly.

Oh, a student has made a complaint now? Well that changes everything. Who was it and what was the complaint?

So it’s on them to prove his innocence now? If my friend was run out of school and anonymous people on campus were declaring him guilty of rape in public and I didn’t believe it was true you’re damn right I would protest and I think you’d be a pretty shitty friend not to.

Credible rumours is an oxymoron.

He’s been accused of rape? Of whom?

What’s important is that you managed to feel superior to them, so good for you.

plus ça change...

My wife had a photoshoot done shortly after we were married (technically I was in it, but for like 2 pictures out of 50), which is a big industry in China. And, I don’t know how to describe it... you know when you wake up in the morning and your hair looks particularly good, or another day when your makeup game is…

So you believe people involved in a conflict are less likely to be biased than observers? Really? Do you understand what bias is?

You said that both groups were ‘similarly oppressed’ that is equating the treatment of both groups. No two ways about it.

“What I meant to say is when you talk about ghettos traditionally, what you’re talking about is African-American communities,” Sanders told a gaggle of reporters on the runway just outside of the campaign’s charter plane.

I don’t think it is easy to see that. I see individuals who have murdered based on race and I see a population who were willing to accept black people as lesser. I don’t see an overall goal of the extermination of black people.

I read. I am taught. I learn. While I can’t experience things first hand, I rely on the teachings of those who have. Also, the tradeoff of not experiencing a conflict first hand is that I get to experience it with significantly less bias than by those who are a part of it.

While there are various definitions of the term, almost all international bodies of law officially adjudicate the crime of genocide pursuant to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG).^[3] This and other definitions are generally regarded by the majority of genocide scholars to…

You believe that the average black person is more educated on slavery than the average white person? Do they get special lessons?

Umm... not to belittle this issue, but including trolling in the definition should pretty much make this 100% across the board of both genders, no? Haven’t we all had to deal with trolls at some point?

If you, good white person, don’t see my race, you may miss the way the world treats me. And if that way is unfair or dangerous, you’ll miss that too. And if you don’t see the injustice, you won’t speak up about that problem, which means it won’t be solved, and it will continue.
