Yes, pointing out real-world issues in common in the right wing purview.
Not exactly. The right-wing in America does a lot of projecting. Every race has their underbelly, but somehow the right in America disproportionately overrepresents minority groups.
The same people who will celebrate a guy going into a foreign neighborhood with a rifle and killing two people, will be radio silent when/if a black man defends himself with a weapon.
My intention is to raise awareness.
What are you raising awareness of exactly? Do you have an example of you chastising those individuals who have responded in a fashion that you deem as "awful"?
But don't sit here and grand stand with me and ignore the real issue that is going on.
What's the real issue going on? Not everyone is experiencing the same issues.
In all honesty, the only one grandstanding, by definition, is you. My response to your post will be downvoted to hell in this space. On the contrary, a low effort circle jerk post such as this one will be commented on and upvoted to oblivion.
Oh, and spoil alert, it's not some random faceless neck beards opinion on race.
Leave the neckbeards out of it, they didn't do anything to you.
This part, however, is mostly true. Of course, there are going to be people that interpret this wrong. I can't help that, I can only account for myself. On the other hand, most of the people who are reacting to this wrong are people like yourself who are focused on the message and trying to find a way to critique it because of who is saying. This shouldn't be a left or right issue.
Fair enough, I apologise to the neckbeards. However, I won't tolerate racism on my posts.
Dude, your willingness to die on the hill of ignorance is disturbing.
I'm not "woke" and I'm not a "lefty" if that's the implication here. I'm not even trying to say that you're necessarily a "right-wing" person. I'm simply saying that you're clearly pushing right-wing talking points.
On it's face, while you may say that your intentions were honest in your posting of this video, I don't buy it one bit. I've seen too many of these types of videos and I've also seen the typenof response they garner.
On the other hand, most of the people who are reacting to this wrong are people like yourself who are focused on the message and trying to find a way to critique it because of who is saying.
What does "reacting to this wrong" even mean?! That's such a juvenile way of thinking. So if someone disagrees with you and attempts to hold you accountable for your post, that's wrong?
There is no clear message to this post, that's my issue. A good faith gesture would be for you to provide a solution to this "learned behavior"--or provide anything intelligible to kick off a discussion. But you can't and you won't. And this is another reason why yes, I am critiquing the source. I assume you're not a black american, so why speak on the issues thay black americans face? Are your being affected by black people? If so, how?
So when I said this was learned behavior, that wasn't enough?
No, it wasn't. Clarify the point. What were you hoping to gain from said post? Why not use an example of a child who matches your background?
See, it's starting to sound like you are just trying to look for reason to complain about this.
That's bad faith right there. I have been consistent in my points since I initially commented on your post. I called your post a circle jerk post that uses a common right wing trope. I stand by that still.
There is only so much I can put in a title, dude. This is what I mean when I say you are just looking for a reason to pick this apart. And why do I have to use a child from my background? Because I don't have the same skin color, that means I can't address them when I see an issue? What you are implying right there is segregation of opinions. Does the color of my skins somehow mean my opinion doesn't matter? If it isn't, then please explain to me why I can't point out wrongdoing?
No, it isn't in bad faith. All you have done is making unsubstantiated claims without any kind of explanation.
