[split] from Kony 2012 thread

[Shell B]

I have known about Joseph Kony for quite some time. In fact, I think I told Rhythm about him in a hangout one night. He is utterly despicable. I'm in.

You say you support people having a right to be as racist as they want, and to even have that racism supported by law. You support people to be allowed to be as mean and greedy and racist and hateful as they want in business and in their regular life and that these things should naturally be enforced by the police.

While that is not exactly his position, it is still irrelevant. Joseph Kony's bullshit isn't about racism. It is about kidnapping children and forcing them to fight and many more horrible things.

I dont know. Maybe its just me, but this is a big jump between "People should be allowed to hang up whites only signs and have the police enforce it" to "Kony should be stopped."

Not even in the slightest, Rev. There is a huge difference between saying people can hang signs saying whatever they want and people should not be able to kidnap children and make them kill their families. I have no fucking clue how you have made this connection, but it really is crazy.

Look, i dont want to fight over this again, but I am having a hard time understanding how you can jump from "whites only signs should be enforced" to "Kick Kony's ass".

Freedom of speech is not freedom to steal, rape and murder, Rev. You fucking know that.

P.S. I just bought a KONY 2012 bracelet. Thanks for directing me to this, Tib.
