seems pretty clear that the entire thread, baselessly shitting on a culture, was precipitated by today's 100% miles-inspired negativity.


There is nothing baseless about it. Is it not telling that the majority of people in this thread agree with it? Just because you take pride in your culture doesn't mean that there aren't any negative aspects to it. That's the biggest problem with this psychology. People are unwilling to see two sides of an argument as valid sides, and if someone doesn't agree with you, they're stupid and an enemy.

When did I make the claim that there aren't?

Well, I have no idea who these people agreeing are. And the agreement pretty much looks like "yeah something something mean haters." So no, it's not telling of much at all.

Go start a thread on the poliboard, saying something subtly disparaging and generic about american blacks. would the same standard apply as evidence that the accusation is meaningful?

Umm, yeah, I guess this happens sometimes. Not relevant to this discussion. The OP's incoherent and very-poorly-supported premise is the problem.
