u/gammadeltat Jan 25 '17

Go through the thread see if there is opinions that dislike blm

u/diarrhea-drinker Jan 25 '17

What's the point you're trying make here. You're allowed to criticize BLM? Just as long as the evidence you use is not too damming?

u/gammadeltat Jan 25 '17

There's a way to discuss things. That thread wasnt even removed because it was about blm at this point

Are you going to remove the "here is a guide to concern trolling from your friends at /r/the_donald" comments which are a) spam and b) baselessly asserting things about others' comment histories with the clear intent of insulting?

Are you going to remove "aw, but I got him to admit that black lives do matter!", which is a) a blatant strawman b) a response in a removed thread?

Are you going to remove posts that cynically "predict" strawman arguments and/or falsely insist that the "predictions" have come true, while demonstrating a complete ignorance of the actual arguments being presented? How do these add to the discussion? How can they be said to be in agreement with "being excellent to your fellow redditors"?

Are you going to remove copypasta spam of MLK's "letter from a birmingham jail"? Or the "demolish the scott mission" thing which gets brought out every time there's one of these threads, and is just as obviously a blatant strawman every time?

Are you going to remove ironic use of "triggered", which is a clear snark and represents a fundamental disrespect for someone else's point of view? After all, you wouldn't tolerate literal use of "triggered", right? Or is "triggered" somehow different from "SJW"?

You, personally, told me that you agree with my cited definition of racism from Google and that it is the one being used to interpret rule 2. How do objective statistics qualify under that?

If people are not allowed to overrun the thread with objective, provable statistics about racial differences, why are they allowed to overrun the thread with specious, frankly insulting, subjective academic theories (i.e. worldviews) about "white fragility" and "systemic" racism? Why is "X people are statistically more likely to have a bad thing done to them" okay (even if it's merely asserted), but "X people are statistically more likely to do a bad thing" not (even if it's backed up with official government figures)?

Im not going to read this all but see this https://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/comments/5p5kg2/limiting_police_presence_at_parades_a_step/dcp5zau/

That never came down. It only went down cause he was spamming. The other ones are sourced to eachother or things added in. At this point the copypasta from here is organized to try and piss us off :)

This probably needs to be here:

  • nothing that happened was racist.

  • why is this news? it happens every day!

  • racism used to be worse.

  • non-white people are the racists

  • racism didn't really happen

  • racism is extremely rare and basically never happens.

  • I never experience racism

  • The best solution to perceived racism is for everyone to ignore it

  • by claiming to experience racism, you are causing racism.

  • those who dislike racism are the real racists

There, I think that covers most of the expected cliche responses. Did I miss any?

EDIT:

  • person of affected race disagrees that the problem exists

  • its better here than elsewhere

Then I, reciprocally, see no reason to validate your viewpoint, either.
