WAY TO GO RANDY MOSS!

[Little lunch]

I was going to say something but I changed my mind. :-)

Raising awareness is only important if it's something that people aren't aware of.

Not true. That's why it's called raising awareness rather than creating awareness. Additonal awareness is not in itself insignificant as it puts additional pressure on people to change or take action. You seem to be suggesting that additional awareness is not going to have any effect at all, a thought I find rather hard to believe.

Was probably more effective at getting the message out than kneeling for the anthem.

At least kneeling is doing something. Although the idea that kneeling or wearing a tie is the best a bunch of multimillionaires can do to solve a problem is laughable.

The other funny thing is the crap you atheist forum people are giving me. I mean think about it for a moment.

Me: wearing a tie is an ineffective solution to police violence towards minorties..
You all: but raising awareness!
Me: no, we need real solutions to solve this problem.
You: you fucking asshole!

I mean, what? You are actually the ones who don't give a shit. Just people jerking off each other raising awareness.

I missed the part where you said we need real solutions to solve this problem. Perhaps you could quote it for me?

Bold mine. 
1. What are YOU doing to solve the problem other than mocking people that are raising awareness (which, is doing something)?
2. Where did anyone call you a fucking asshole? 
3. If someone wearing a tie isn't having a profound and negative effect on your personal life, then why do you care if that's the way someone shows support? 
Take your negative vibes elsewhere because clearly, you don't get it or anything else.

Lol, okay you called me a dick, not a fucking asshole. Do you lack a total sense of irony? You say I have a negative additude, but yet you are the one hurling insults and making personal attacks. I mean, what?

I've done an equal amount to combat racial injustice as Randy Moss did by wearing that tie. What have you done to combat racial injustice.

Sorry for pissing on you raising awareness thing. You know what else pisses on it? Science.

Raising awareness doesn't do anything, and in fact sometimes is detrimental.

. . . . . .

Raising awareness doesn't do anything. I encourage you to read some of the studies done on it.

The article you quote doesn't support either claim. It says there is no evidence that awareness days have an effect. That's not the same as saying that they don't have an effect. Additionally, it suggests that narcotizing dysfunction might occur, with respect to media presentations of an issue. Even if we apply that to other things, like Moss' tie, that doesn't mean it does in fact occur. You're simply misreading your own source. If you have a study which does support either claim then present it.
