National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (please review page 1)

[RackMaster]

Do you realize how racist "we have a privileged Asian" is?

No one is denying that there isn't work to be done. But unless emotion is taken out of the decision making and the all factors are taken into account; this cycle will never end. I get it, you think we're all a bunch of "far right" racists. I guess that is the standard when someone thinks differently than you now.

Only a few examples...

For only being 13% of the US population, they hold similar % across most employment sectors.

Employed persons by detailed industry, sex, race, and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity

Political leadership is held by similar % of population.

Blacks have made gains in U.S. political leadership, but gaps remain

So here we have a privileged Asian discussing what problems black people have gone through because he took a few college classes on the subject.

It sounds so easy what he's saying to do. Yet let's be honest, we are all the product of our friends and our home. Yes there are a few examples of people getting out and becoming a great contributor to society, but for most of those in inner cities, every day is a struggle and that is how they end up in gangs or doing other illegal activities.

Nope, I dont think you are a racist just because you are right or extreme right. And yes, educationally speaking most Asians are the victim of racism.

No. What you just typed about Asian's is extremely racist.

 

[BloodStripe]

No. What you just typed about Asian's is extremely racist.

In that case, I think the simple fact you are so uncomfortable having a conversation about race might make you a racist.

 

[RackMaster]

Racist comments of any kind are not to be tolerated.

I've hit the point where shit is so absurd that it's comical.

Welcome to the party, what took you so long!

How does identifying a privileged person's race qualify as a racist comment?

How does someone going to a school that provides free education to low income families, automatically make them privileged? There was no reason to bring up race. None.

Welcome to the party, what took you so long!

I'm not experiencing everything firsthand since I'm not stateside. I will be shortly though and I'm sure I won't take it well.

That is a question for @BloodStripe to answer.

There was no reason to bring up race. None.

That seems to be in dispute. In either case, how does pointing out that fact about the person qualify as a racist comment?

Read his complete post again. There was no reason to bring up the author's race, other than to degrade the individual.

This discussion is over. I'm going to lock this for a while.

So here we have a privileged Asian discussing what problems black people have gone through because he took a few college classes on the subject.

Apparently saying EVERYONE's LIFE MATTERS is a fireable offense on a college campus.

[Locksteady]

What adds insult to the injury is that she specifically pointed out that black lives matter before mentioning all lives.

"Recent events recall a tragic history of racism and bias that continue to thrive in this country. I despair for our future as a nation if we do not stand up against violence against anyone. BLACK LIVES MATTER, but also, EVERYONE'S LIFE MATTERS."

I am adjunct faculty with our school of nursing. We are required to have "what pronoun we prefer" in our email signatures; in fact, we are encouraged to participate in BLM and BGLAD club activities. I am, in fact, leaving the position. They are not interested in "open dialogue".

Yeah that’s definitely an over-reaction. She even said, very explicitly, “Black lives matter” right before saying the thing that got her fired. Not a good move from the school.
