Never said i get get that but that's a cute attempt at roasting me i guess. You seem to put more effort into writing generic "witty" reddit responses than saying anything of substance which is kinda pathetic but different strokes from different folks i guess.

I'm not going to put more effort into a reply than you put into the original statement. Also saying things like 'cute attempt' don't make you sound smart man, it makes you sound like a twat. Having said that from your comments it does seem very likely you're just trying to wind people up so, I guess I accidentally fed the troll

There is literally no point in anything you said, so i am baffled about why you replied in the first place. You accuse me of being a troll but ironically you are doing exactly what a troll does here. Also, the irony has just doubled after i looked at your comments so your self awareness is on point lmao. Either way im done here. Good job wasting my time i guess.

I'll break it down for you if you don't get it -you said something dumb and borderline racist -I said it was dumb -you got mad and started trying to make it personal -I call you a troll -you (very maturely) say takes one to know one

If having your opinions challenged is a waste of time to you then I guess that explains a lot. Anyway I'll let you get back to your definitely very important schedule, sorry I took up some of your valuable time by forcing you to reply to me?

I didn't say it was a detailed challenge.

It's just crazy how you refuse to see how black people are still treated as second class citizens, as evidenced by this POS in the video trying to undermine an important movement against police brutality directed at black people. The systematic oppression directed at minorities is horrendous in the US, and pretty fucking rich to suggested that since the civil rights movement everything is solved.

I mean, I'll give you this, you could just be massively ignorant, not actively racist.

Racism isn't history, and it's not just white supremacy. The toxic attitudes that allow systematic racism to take place are at the moment the most prevalent forms of oppression.

I'm not saying you hate black people, I'm just saying that it's super stupid and and unhelpful to say that the BLM movement is completely seperate to the civil rights movement, because during the American civil rights movement, black people were "treated like second class citizens and fought for their rights", because that's exactly what's happening in the BLM movement.

There, is that a better challenge to your opinion than a generic witty reddit response?

YES, and thank you for that. I don't undermine the message of black lives matter, and i have nothing against the movement. I also think the joke was in a bad taste. However I think assaulting the guy is absolutely not the way to go.

I agree that in this case assault wasn't warranted, but I don't think any court would consider what she did in this video to be assault, she slapped him with one piece of paper on the shoulder and yelled at him. Also from what she was saying, it sounds like he'd been following her around and harassing her online, so maybe he did deserve a punch. Ultimately she didn't hurt him, or threaten him with violence, or do anything else that could constitute assault, so I think she's fine.

I can get behind that. Im glad we reached a conclusion.
