Kid arrested for not standing for pledge...

[GrandizerII]

I placed Grandizer on ignore. The kid's got Aspergers or something.

Yea, I'm getting to that point. I have a couple people on ignore already.

Before you put me on ignore, just answer one question.

A cop shoots a black man when it was totally unnecessary to do, but the cop nevertheless comes up with a justification for why he shot him that does not have anything to do with racism. The cop never confesses his racist attitude or anything of the sort.

Question: Is it, or is it not, reasonable to suspect that racism may have been involved?

So you're hinging your prospective charge of racism on this one comment only.

Whereas I considered all the initial elements in the initial story to come to the suspicion that racial biases must have been involved. And unlike you, I don't think of only the teacher as being the culprit here. Racism does not start and end with just one individual in a system that is tainted with racism. The whole scenario reeked of it.

God you are so fucking cringey. You speak about this as if I'm late to the party, as if you were just waiting for this information to come out and you're now so satisfied that you were right.

You still are saying things that show you assume any situation with a minority must be racially motivated, that because minorities are discriminated against, they're discriminated against ALL of the time in EVERY situation, That is a legitimately fucked up way of seeing the world. How long do you want to go back and forth like this? This conversation is going nowhere.

Clearly, there are two versions of events being told here and I'm not really sure who to believe. Both sides have motivation to lie, but the Africa comment, if it's true, doesn't make things look good for the school.

The kid still was not arrested for the pledge. How much longer you wanna do this for?

Nope, what part of "examined all aspects of the story" do you not understand? Your reasoning tells me that one cannot make any reasonable judgement about a lot of things in life unless we have some hardcore evidence or something. If that were the case, the "MeToo" movement would not have been successful at all.

Yes, it's good to have both, and all sides, of the story, and not just one.
