Labeling a well-supported comment as “Fake News” is a de facto concession—an admission that you have no rebuttal. It’s not a counterargument; it’s intellectual surrender.
Philando Castile’s killing by a Minneapolis PD officer is a matter of public record. The officer, Jeronimo Yanez, was criminally charged. Trial transcripts, dashcam footage, and investigative records confirm that Castile did precisely what the officer instructed—informing him of his permit and attempting to retrieve documentation. Despite this, Yanez fired seven shots, killing Castile in front of his partner and her daughter. These are facts, not opinions, and certainly not “fake news.”
Your repeated tactic of dismissing facts as “Fake News” is not just dishonest—it’s lazy. You posture as someone more informed than others in your echo chamber, but your responses reveal otherwise.
The fact that you consistently react in the childish manner of labeling my comments as "Fake News" normally would cause you to lose any credibility you had, except you never had any to begin with when it comes to me. And it's not because I dislike you, nor just because I dislike you following me around and challenging everything I post just to be contrary, it's instead because you're ignorant on a multitude of topics yet believe yourself to be knowledgeable and know more than most others, at least of a certain demographic. You proved this when you quoted a millionaire celebrity as someone Black people should listen to and emulate, yet you even misquoted or took out of context what Mogan Freeman stated.
When you are given the opportunity to debate here on the message board in good faith, any topics of disagreement, you do exactly what you've done here, simply label my comments as 'Fake News' and consider that the end of it.
While you're certainly entitled to your own opinion(s), no matter how erroneous they may be, you are not qualified to render an assessment as to whether or not racial animus played a part in any of these tragic events. But more importantly, you are eminently
unqualified to determine if what the average Black person states as racial animus being directed towards them is true or not. You're simply not equipped -- not with the knowledge, not with the education or experience that others have.
Similar to Occam’s Razor, when all other explanations are removed, what remains must be the truth—even when the topic is racism. The courts have acknowledged this:
So you want us to believe you know better than SCOTUS?
