Your theories would not bore me in the slightest!

Also, I apologize for calling you a creep. That wasn’t very nice.

She looks amazing in the dress. And can we please discuss how she’s basically one of the best athletes almost ever? She is, right? People are being stupid sexists.

I think real racism is mainly about stereotyping the oppressed group and thinking less of them, and using actions to hurt them in some way. But, I’m sure there are many varied components to that which are more complex. I just meant this post about these kids isn’t really about race as much as it is about crime.

Dylan Roof should go to jail forever and ever and ever.

I’ll add, in a controversial moment that I’ll be flamed for by many, although I believe OJ killed his ex-wife, I think the 33 years was a crazy sentence for the crime he got convicted for. We really need to reevaluate our sentencing laws.

I get it. We do have to try to avoid stereotypes. There are terrific young people out there. It just seems like more wealth and privilege brings more contempt for other people for a lot of these people. And it is supported by a study or two.

You assumed, automatically, because I mentioned deportation that I was being racist toward them. I was not and explained that, but you continued to advocate for them and continued pushing your beliefs forward. But, more importantly, you mentioned it in a separate post, that discussing their crimes was being pushed…

You do have a right, but as I’ve answered it, your continued desire to make me into something I’m not, and frankly (and I think this is worse, the more I think about it) making these people into victims when they aren’t, is a bit of a problem. The phrasing of my post be-damned. I told you point blank what I meant, but…

In fact, we should be talking about her. It really sucks this happened to her. I really hope the judge orders the families of these “kids” (really adults, but anyway) have to help pay for her therapy, etc. I would hope, too, that she’s given a chance to finish her studies if she chooses to do so.

You are when you make them into victims of racism because people are discussing their crimes. They are not victims. They attacked that girl. She is the victim and should be supported. They should be jailed and then deported. They are also likely quite rich so I have a secondary concern that they will get leniency…

Lordy. Thank you. Said so much better than I did.

A. Absolutely.

Yes, as I said before, there are racists out there. But, again, you can’t seem to point to any racist moment in my conversation beyond your own speculations and the idea that, because I said they should be deported, I must be racist. The problem with that is they really should be deported. They didn’t just break the…

Sigh. It does seem that way, doesn’t it? Like it’s a generation of psychopaths out there. First, those two girls who tried to kill a playmate because “slenderman.” I mean, what the hell is that?

Except the only person who is thinking about their “race” and nationality is you.

I vote for Helen as a bad egg, for sure.

Kinja is evil. It knows we’re all here.

Why should I be civil to you? You’ve called me a racist with no evidence whatsoever other than I want people who do bad things pay for their crimes.

Yes, totally. I was really thinking about the fact that they are wealthy. I fear they’ll get off completely for the crime. :/ What can I say? I’m cynical.
