Black privilege

[deleted15807]

AND the favorite "blacks behaving badly" subject of their media (Fox, Breitbart, and the like). But as USUAL they and people like you and MG ignore all the rest of the story behind what has happened there, as explained in T.S.'s linked article and in this one below:

Hundreds of students protest against administrators at The Evergreen State College | The Olympian

They are taken by a man who speaks in his fourth-grade, monosyllabic, syntax-challenged verbiage and yet they hear lyrical lucidity. It's been clear for awhile now that reading is an insurmountable challenge for that crowd. YouTube is their Library of Congress. I would ask the question "Where does chocolate milk come from?" but I would be afraid of the answer.

What country was that? Just curious.

Upset? Moreso disappointed, perhaps. When did it become so acceptable to call someoen "white ass faculty?" And repeatedly hurl the F bomb? Where is dignity, respect, restraint in pleading your case? The intelligent, fact based, less emotional, well delivered approach has always been the one to garner the most support. It seems like the only way to communicate is scream yell, curse, protest. We are all entitled to our voice being heard, however rude and crude. I thought we fought so hard to eradicate ts kind of racist commentary in this country. And now it's become downright acceptable to use these words. And we have the left to thank for this for making this ok. Can you imagine if white students got up and called some faculty member a "black ass?"
You mentioned tolerance? That word doesn't exist anymore.[/QUOTE]

Sorry, Jjz1109, the word exists and will as long as the language does--it's just that tolerance isn't exercised or practiced enough.

Funny how some who complain about lack of tolerance have, in fact, said some pretty intolerant, racist s------ of their own.

I don't approve of either scenario, but I also don't see them as equivalent.

Bully for you.

No fucking such thing as black privilege. Are you kidding me?

I'm proud not to be a political troll.....

And yet you came here to troll

Certainly beg to differ if you watch the video.

This from the man that draws conclusions on air pollution in Italy based on a single truck he happened to be behind. And the validity of climate change based on snow outside his window. "Eyewitness accounts" are at near rock bottom in terms of proof of anything which is essentially what you're positing. But for you they are apparently at the top in your limited world.

The level of projection is enough to give me a migraine.

If only the video was a limited, one-off example. Unfortunately, it's not and the privileged behavior, and lack of respect in this new approach to how we challenge the norm, is becoming more prevalent. No tolerance. No respect. No restraint. No meeting of the minds. "It's my way" or fight, to quote one poster in the "intolerant leftist at gay pride parade" thread, we should "Stop reflecting and get angry," because apparently that's how one solves these issues best. Screaming, shouting, in your face. That is the only acceptable behavior today.

Can you honestly say this is a one-off, "eye witness account?"

2.) That is the only acceptable behavior today.

Re 1.) No,that's not how one solves these issues best--and you know that. Stop the sarcastic one-offs.
Re 2.) That's not true: are you therefore a liar?

Alrighty then.

Show me your data, your charts, your graph. Videos are now presented as "evidence" of what? Could these behaviors always have been present or is just now everyone has a video camera in their pocket and it just seems more prevalent? Could it be thanks to greater awareness and communications that we are more aware of these events that have always occurred? How do you accurately count and calibrate if this phenomena is really more than a "one off"? And by what timeline? WIthout a timeline you can never say its happening more frequently. How do we know you are not biased in searching for these events? All these controls should be in place before you make a statement of fact.

Looking out your window and seeing snow is not evidence of anything grander other than it is snowing where you are. As well as diesel fumes from a single truck's exhaust. Looking at a group of people not behaving in a way you think they should is evidence of nothing more all encompassing or menacing than just that. More rigorous studies need to be done and those should be sourced. That's how we know climate change is real and 14 inches of snow outside your window is meaningless.

Systematic observation

Distinguishing between observation and inference moves us toward the process of systematic observation. Systematic observation is setting up our study so that we eliminate or reduce bias.

I went to Boston University in the late 70's. I remember getting all angry, making signs and protesting about some campus policy that evades my memory now. At the time, I felt it to be the most important thing in the world and you couldn't have convinced me otherwise.

to quote one poster in the "intolerant leftist at gay pride parade" thread, we should "Stop reflecting and get angry," because apparently that's how one solves these issues best. Screaming, shouting, in your face. That is the only acceptable behavior today.

If that was the only acceptable behavior, that statement wouldn't have come up in the course of discussion. The statement directly communicates that there are people who are reflecting which makes your assertion that it's the only acceptable behavior today an exaggeration.

I'm not dissing vocal protest, it definitely has a time and place, but it's not a be-all and end-all solution to every problem.

Now who is upset? I stand by my post. It should NOT be the only acceptable behavior today, but it is certainly being tolerated, and no one should be making excuses or justifications. Really, get it out ot their system - - racist outbursts need to get out of their system? Exercising their right to free speech. Got it.

I'm not upset--if you look at your posts, you are.
