Rittenhouse was a self-styled vigilante who murdered two unarmed protesters. That's what matters legally. Rittenhouse crossed state lines with an illegal weapon.
You do realize that, rRittenhouse was a self-styled vigilante who murdered two unarmed protesters. That's what matters legally. Rittenhouse crossed state lines with an illegal weapon.
You are retarded. IT was clearly self defense.
When you tell black men that rittenhouse was in the wrong, you are encouraging them to get themselves killed.
You do realize that, right?

You do realize that, right?
Just out of curiosity, How would you know what black men are "encouraged by"?
Because I am a man, and i can see that someone telling me that I have the right to attack people and it is wrong of them to defend themselves against me, is an encouragement of me to commit such violence, and thus place myself in danger.
Why would you think that I could NOT know that? Because black men are such a different species that they are incomprehensible to a white guy?
Were you actually at the protest? Did anyone PERSONALLY attack YOU?
Or are you living vicariously through Rittenhouse?
Neither.
My point stands. When you tell a group of people that they have the right to violently attack other people, and indeed, it is morally and legally wrong of those people to defend themselves, you are encouraging those people to do that type of behavior.
And, as it is a lie, you are encouraging them to get themselves into situations that can lead to their deaths.
As we saw in kenosha.
And why would you IGNORANTLY claim that this is encouraging "Black men in general to get thmselves killed"?
That is an assumption which is rooted in your own ignorance of what YOU assume that black men in general think.
You don't know any more about what Black men" in general think "will get themselves killed over" than black men in general know about you and those like you think.
Your "point" only "stands" to be a testament to an ignorant statement on your part and that of others as to of what you "think" you believe that black men in general "think.".
You know Kat, the basis of the discussion on race here in America, going back at least to the 50s, if not earlier is that we are all basically the same, thus we should be equal.
That is an idea I was raised with and never seriously questioned.
But, you are making the argument that white and black men are so greatly different, that I as a white man, cannot hope to understand you, as a group.
I open to hearing your arguments. At first glance your position would explain a lot.
BUT, have you really considered the implications?
If you are correct, than America has been wrong on race and needs to rethink everything we have done, all the way back to BEFORE desegregation.
(not slavery, that argument was different and not based on equality so much as immorality)
I believe you are misunderstanding what I am stating. All day, everyday and without exception numeous people here bring up the "cultural" differences between the races.
That being said, it is obvious that the majority who post here do not believe that we are all the same, or even equal to begin with.
Where we ARE undeniably equal is that we ALL have the same rights under the constitution as we should.
Beyond that point, people are different and have different belief systems.
In the case of the shooter, I stated that I do not know any black males who feel strongly enough about his innocence or guilt that they would be "encouraged to get themselves killed over it".
From there, you made the decision to read farther into what I stated for your own reasons.
I've posted on message boards like this dating back to when the internet became accessible to the mainstream, and this forum, unlike the ones I've seen before, reminds me more of the pre civil rights era than any other that I've experienced.
I'm not certain what you are implying regarding "rethinking everything that America has "done" even prior to desegregation".
What has been "done" is to ensure equal rights under the law, and if one is a tax paying, law abiding citizen, that is a minimum right of citizenship.
I suspect that you are leaning towards stating that the country may be better off to return minorities to the same 2nd class citizenship that existed prior to the Civil rights era.
Your smear of the other posters on this site is just your opinion and wrong. Dismissed.
Beyond that, you attacked me for daring to imagine that I could understand what black males would think, hearing lyslander's urging to violence.
That was you being racist and wrong. My point stand. Shit talk like lyslander was doing, is getting people killed, in the streets.
Men, or people do not need to be told that they have the right to commit violence on people, just because those people disagree with them.
Lol! What "smear are you referring to? If you are denying that there are an abundance of people in this forum who DO NOT believe that we are all equal , then you are in denial to the point of hypocrisy, which speaks volumes about YOU.
And no, I did not "attack" you. I told you what I think, not what you want to hear. You're just hypersensitive and thin-skinned, which is not my problem.
If you think that is "racist", too bad.
For someone who whines incessantly about others being racist, you appear to live in a glass house.
Now, what are you implying regarding race being "rethought" even prior to desegregation?
Bringing up cultural differences, is not claiming that people are not equal. Are you serious not understanding that?
And you are making the claim that as a white man, I cannot know what will motivate a black man to kill.
THAT'S a pretty serious and alarming claim, which if true, makes living and working together a fool's dream.
I've stand by my position that I as a man, can empathize with and thus understand black men. Thus, I can live and work along side of them, with a reasonable expectation of being able to do so with a reasonable degree of safety.
You are arguing that I am wrong. That my attempts at understand are doomed to failure, because I am not black, and that thus, at any time, due to unknown reasons, and thus, from my perspective without warning or reason, the black man or men living near me might be motivated to kill.
I am will to listen to your supporting arguments. I will admit that your claim would explain a number of observed behaviors that I wanted to lump into either the mental health crisis or political warfare.
So, make your case. I am interested to hear what you have to say.
Bringing up cultural differences in people and describing their collective culture as "inferior" are not the same. A persons culture is often a reflection of the values that they were taught.Rittenhouse was a self-styled vigilante who murdered two unarmed protesters. That's what matters legally. Rittenhouse crossed state lines with an illegal weapon.

I would be quite confident in stating that the "culture" within my family and household are just as positive as anyome else's that is here, as would the majority of other black people that I know.
Furthermore, there is another poster here who took the time recently to compile a list of posts/statements made by some (qute a few ) who post here which certainly brought to light the fact that numerous posters here do NOT believe all of us to be equal.
As far as your belief that you can "identify" with the sentiments of black people, you might be able to do so with those who are in your geographical proximity.
And you might even be able to work side by side with them due to it being a condition of employment, or even live near them due to the law enforcing a persons right to live where they choose regardless of race.
My point was simply that it appeared on my end that you were applying your belief of what would "encourage black men to get themselves killed" to the majority, if not all.
Outside of that, I have had no interest in this thread.

This is the point.
Lyslader was talking the type of shit that encourages men to get themselves killed.
I called her out on her behavior, and the possible consequences.
You did not like that, and you tried to dismiss my valid criticism of her bad behavior, by saying "race" and with an hint of "wace".
And that is all you've got.
Frankly, with you I don't need much. You generalized and

"All that I've got"? ROFLMAO! As if I need that much to hold any kind of conversation with you.
First of all, I do not even know who the fuck "Lyslader" is, so I couldn't care less about your criticism of her. You generalized, as if you actually know what would "encourage black men to get themselves killed" and I pointed it out, which YOU didn't "like", and thinking back, this is actually even more hilarious than I initially thought.
The very idea of you having a shred of concern for black men being killed under any circumstance is equivalent to an adult believing that the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus are actually real people.
As far as the rest of this vague nonsense that you are talking about, while making up silly, childish words like "wace', I acknowledged the fact that you MIGHT know something about black people who are within your immediate proximity....as in a co worker, or a neighbor.
OUTSIDE of your proximity, is an entirely different story.
Now, it's time for the ignore feature
