you might be confusing risk taking with poor decision and inaction with wisdoom.
and water in the sand does have its utility. -

Well… I suppose it was asking too much for people to form their own opinions and express them. I'm such an eternal optimist, when will I learn.

We posted our own opinions and expressed them. You dismissed them if they didn't align with yours.
I don't have to cite resources to back up any claim. Systemic racism is real and this very thread... the fact that we even have to question it makes it even more real.
Great discussion rabbitweed. Turned into a shitshow of your own doing. Maybe allow a little discussion that doesn't sway your own judgment. -

2020-07-24 at 1:56 AM UTCI don't care if I "convince" anyone of anything.
Im sharing my own thoughts on the matter just like yourself.
My intent is not to convince you of anything but to share other views. -

so just make noise for no reason? that's a terrible basis to participate in dialogue
you should be willing to both defend your beliefs and change them if need be, otherwise you, and anyone else who interacts with you gains absolutely nothing -

2020-07-24 at 2 AM UTCmost people who are racist seem really weak to me and not in a cool way, like a nerd or a musician or someone who's into comic books, more like in a "I fail at aspects of life I find desirable and want a scapegoat for my own failures." Literally have never found a racist person I had much respect for. A generalized hatred towards specific ethnic groups is lazy, dumb and boring. There are some blanket statements that can be made like "you should not trust j00s, somali's or chinese" but to hate them is stupid. You also shouldn't trust white people on drugs or really most people you might never see again. Who fucking cares.

Hard to understand something I haven't personally experienced, all I can really do is read the facts and try to learn from them, exactly like you could have already done as I have provided them to you. -

2020-07-24 at 3:10 AM UTCWould you prefer it if I said it like the overt institutional racism of the past has clearly had a profoundly devastating and lasting effect on visible minorities and Aboriginal communities throughout Canada?
