You wanna see a Polish Army baw get agitated real quick? Bring up communism.
Worked with them a bunch when I was in Germany. Those guys take zero shite...from anyone. And can drink you under the table without breaking a sweat. Don't ask me how I know this.

Not trying to be profound or anything, that is legit the answer IMO. The fact that so many do not even recognize that there is a problem IS the problem.

So you're either unwilling or unable to answer the question.
Got it.

Being in a riot is on my bucket list and overall just huge fan of the concept. If they’re gonna do it they should be targeting government buildings, not private businesses though.

No, you didn't. You've avoided answering in every single one of your responses.

So the proper response to the perception of a man being treated like an animal by the cops is for the whole community to start acting like animals? These rioters are no better than the cops they're angry about.

Nobody is saying that there's no racism out there. Nobody is saying there aren't problems with the way some police interact with sections of the populace. But it doesn't give anyone the right to go out and destroy property and steal.

What about war? Is it ok to kill people and destroy property as long as you declare war first?
You know that is a completely different situation and not comparable at all.

quote:It wasn't a deflection. It was another answer to your own question. I've never had a woman tell me "if you don't know I'm not going to tell you", and that's probably because I am aware of when I frick up. But the frick up is rarely the worst part. The worst part is when you don't acknowledge that you've fricked up. When you don't acknowledge that you have caused a problem.

And that's what you don't get. You accuse me of avoiding answering the question, but it's you who is avoiding accepting the answer.

But how is it not comparable? Does it not look like a warzone right now? Real wars have been started for less.

I can't think of anything more beta than trying to make yourself feel better by calling another man a beta.

Racism, sexism, and other -isms that lead to oppression are at the root of many of society's problems, but they are not solvable at the source. They aren't solvable at all, really. All we can do is keep them in check, and we can only do that if we first acknowledge that they exist. You don't seem ready to do that.

So all the people out looting today, to include the myriad of white males participating, are doing so out of racist/sexist oppression?

The people destroying that city don’t own shite, so no they aren’t destroying their community.

One must try hard to be legitimately oppressed these days.
