[split] PSA: Hate Speech (discussion of video etc)

[Amarok]

So you think that anyone who says a racial slur when they are angry is a racist?

Yup because using racist language definitely makes you a racist regardless of your emotional state .

Black people have called me horrible names, and I have never assaulted any of them for it. So I'm sorry, but I don't see this white guy who said the racial slur as being any different than the black people that I have heard using racial slurs. It's the same thing, and I wish that everyone would knock it off.

Then your not very bright

Now hold on there, Thena. I have not adamantly said that the guy didn't mean his racist slur. He might have. I don't know. I know that people say horrible things when they are angry-- both black people and white people. Black people have called me horrible names, and I have never assaulted any of them for it. So I'm sorry, but I don't see this white guy who said the racial slur as being any different than the black people that I have heard using racial slurs. It's the same thing, and I wish that everyone would knock it off.

First of all, I'll remind you that I've made it quite clear that I don't think that assaulting someone is  the appropriate response to be called a slur multiple times in this thread.

However, I did make it known that I do regard "some old guy" as a racist instigator, which you apparently to take tremendous issue with. Your reasoning essentially amounted to "Those who use slurs aren't really racist; they're just "angry", to "Everyone's racist, really" to "Well no...not really" and back around to more Whataboutism all in an effort to have me parrot your your narrative that black and whites in the US essentially experience racism at he same level. You simply cannot abide my saying that this guy or any other white guy is racist without me qualifying it by saying that white folks have it just as bad if not worse.

Well I don't believe that, Yon. Not in general terms.

It is what it was.

Tis the world we live in we can't talk about specific issues anymore everything has too assume everyones suffering is the same or equal .
