Changing the banner to promote BLM

[arewethereyet]

I rather think the current BLM movement is more important than most other causes. It’s about racism and the fact that the racial climate becomes stronger whenever conservatives gain power in the White House. Yes, black people are being treated better, due to the fact that they had to fight for the right to be treated as equal citizens, but the problems still persist when there should be no issues. The current BLM movement is about fighting a very real ignorance that won’t die in this horrible country.

So basically, you have a right to your opinion on the matter and everyone else also has the right to your opinion, is that about right?

Otherwise, those of us who don't agree are irrational.  

Good to know.

Of course, you’re allowed your unreasonable opinion.

Why thank you for being so gracious in your acceptance of diversity.

Pompous ass.

Acceptance of diversity and acceptance of toxic opinions are two different things. But thanks for playing.

So are we supposed to look to YOU as to what is a differing opinion and what is toxic?


Well ain't you a special little muffin?

I’m just saying I know what’s toxic to me, and it seems being against recognizing an important movement borderlines on being against the cause.

The current banner isn’t toxic and not wanting to change it isn’t toxic. It is simply not enough reason to change it. Why don’t we just set up and pin a causes for support thread with links to donations for support. Why must rebranding be the most effective pledge of support? Frankly I think the rebranding on this little dark corner of the inter webs is far too feeble an attempt at support.

OP, just want to comment on your proposed banner including the name Tony Timpa (who was killed in a similar manner to George Floyd).

Tony Timpa had schizophrenia. Do you believe that didn't play a factor in his death?

[Duty]

I believe Tony Timpa's schizophrenia played approximately the same role in his death as the Fentanyl and crystal meth did in George Floyd's (ie - neither were thinking straight).

timpa and floyd's circumstances, character, or past don't mean absolute shit. It doesn't excuse what actions were done to them. Fuck @Grandizer I really expected more from you.
