You don’t need to write a 300-page anything to correctly understand or explain the reality of today’s American political porridge. That’s a straw man deflection away from my point, which is: Your metaphor is simplistic and ultimately false.
Thank you for explaining something to me which I already knew. Would you like me to explain what parenthesis are? Or scare quotes?
“people die during looting”
Which of those histories of slavery (which you’re using in a broadest sense) still has socioeconomic vestiges in a current day society which are being downplayed by fuckwits with a cursory understanding of history or racist apologists trying to reframe the argument to suggest African-Americans are whiners.
Just stop. You can acknowledge historical lows without having a statue glorifying them. Acknowledging history is what history books and museums are for.
Wonderful metaphor...
I always enter a polite conversation about a subject by telling the person who openly loves the subject that the subject of their affection is cheesy, lame, and dumb.
...for a hug? Cuz I loved it, too.
“I didn’t say/imply it was about me.”
I wasn’t clear enough.
I can only presume you’re being facetious, here.
Is ‘absent’ backlash this along the same lines as the ‘silent’ moderate Muslims? Because I have a hunch both are equally fictional absences which are actually well-populated if one were to look outside one’s own bubble to discover the really-real world.
Excuse me, but it isn’t a slave owner mentality. It just that I’m a little busy, here. Trying to get my Starbucks app to work and watch American Ninja Warrior (without anyone knowing I do) to actually go out there and fight for my rights. I mean, I figure y’all are doing that kind of stuff anyway. Can’t you just fight…
This has become a fruitless exercise. I am no longer willing to give this conversation any more time. Good luck.
Oh, this is rich!
That you read any rage in any of this is rather telling, regardless of your tone policing.
So: “I had good intentions and I totally thought this thing therefore I am completely absolved of all wrongdoing and the fault lies in the other person.”
NO ONE IS MISSING THIS.
So, you’re telling TheRealMarthaJones3.0 that she’s wrong.
