[QUOTE="Weasel, post: 463986, member: 9520"] The way you and many others are currently talking is the reason this will never be solved. You can't talk without insulting people who have a different opinion. Properly debating and having a conversation about it is not in your skillset, you'd rather push your "enlightened" opinion onto others. The history of a word is only relevant to a certain degree, when it's used (how it's now often used) to talk derogatory based on their race or skin color, is the definition of racism. Besides that, your entire rant is about how you define racism. So claiming "white people like me" are trying to define racism, is a bit hypocritical. Just because I have a different opinion on some subjects, doesn't mean I should "educate" myself. In some parts of the world, whites are actually oppressed or a minority. But that's complete besides the point. How do you want to gain equality, if you highlight based on skin color? If you want to achieve equality, you should promote unity. You're only enlarging the difference. And besides, that, not every person in this world will "educate themselves". Some people don't have the intelligence, understanding, or proper upbringing, for whatever reason. You will never convince anyone if one side is yelling to the other side what they should do. Not sure what you are doing here, but it seems that you are pushing your (/their) views on us. There's actually quite a big group of "black" or whatever label you want to put on it people who don't agree with what is going on, at all. One of those examples is Candace Owens. Shouldn't we also listen to her views than, as she's also black? Or shouldn't we, because she has a different opinion than yours? And this is the biggest bullshit ever. You don't know that. Because probably, he would be. Do you know that police officers have the biggest chance of dying on the job, on the specific call that they were there for? They're scared for their lives. It's not like they shot him directly. They tried to detain him, told him to stay put. However, he [I]chose [/I]not to listen to the officers. Instead, while 2 guns where being pointed at him, he actually walked to his car to GRAB something. Black, white, yellow, or silver, every officer would have shot at that last moment. They waited until the very last moment to shoot him. But no, you can't see this objectively. You call it racist because it's a white cop shooting a black man. If anyone is the racist here, it's you, for claiming there would be a difference because he's black. [/QUOTE]
