Grow The Fuck Up Already...

[The Grand Nudger]

Is that what you think you did?  All I saw was a defense of civil rights abuse, and an attempt to pin black deaths, on an organization that protests institutional abuse.  

I'm sure good intentions go bad, but what you presented wasn't so much of a stretch as a complete and total non sequitur.  The pc people and sjw folks can't be immune...but it seems to me that the unintended consequences of their actions center around dolts like Pool and Kusa getting triggered...or you, doing whatever it is you think that you're doing.  I'll trade that for a society with fewer racial slurs and more equality.

Yes, that is exactly what I did. It wasn't a stretch or a non sequitur. You asked for something, got it, then pretended it doesn't matter when it clearly does since there are now many more dead African Americans as a result.

As a result of what PC, SJW, BLM?  LOL, no. 

Isn't dead African Americans what we are both trying to prevent? And please leave the insults out of this. In no way did I ever once try to defend civil rights abuses. That's a cheap shot and a true example of a non sequitur. 

No, you didn't do it once, you did it over and over and over.  

I think you wrongly view our discussion as some kind of fight that you MUST win. Which is wrong since we're essentially on the same side but only disagree as to methodology. That's why I asked you to come up with examples on your own, because if I do, you will just try to shoot them down out of some sort of reflexive need to disagree. 

With friends like you.....  

Since you asked, what I think I'm doing is answering your question by demonstrating that vilifying a large group of people based on the actions of a few is a terrible idea no matter how justified those doing the vilifying may feel. That is the definition of bigotry and it always fails to produce good results. Take any group of a million and you can convince yourself that they are a racist group by finding racists within the group. Try it with a million dentists, a million teachers, or even a million atheists....

Awesome, now people who find the idea of thug cops abhorrent are bigots.  You've definitely got the script.

What I think I'm doing in this thread is to try to change the focus to workable solutions to problems by concentrating on results more than intentions. I believe that's what it means to grow up as the title of the thread asks.

Workable solutions like not violating civil rights, or workable solutions like shutting our mouths about civil rights abuse because that makes us bigots and hurts the cops feelers?

(there's no point in asking me not to crack jokes and rib you, btw, it's just how I interact with people I haven't -completely- written off yet)
