You understand that a trial isn't going to prove what happened or didn't happen, right? The intention of a trial is to serve justice and sentence a person. If you can't make a decision about what you believe, don't believe, or whether or not i is time to get upset about anything that was alleged to have happened, a trial is not going to change any of that for you either.

The media is divisive and the internet is full of conflicting accounts about everything. But I can't help but call BS on your attitude. I have lived in this country long enough to know how the legal system works, and how Americans react to crime stories. People had strong opinions on OJ, Jodi Aris, Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman, etc. before the trails. You are not going to convince me that withholding an opinion and judgement is a routine habit of yours.

It's also a massive logical fallacy to say you're waiting on the trial to determine the facts, so then you can better decide if this was a mistake, if the kid hung himself, or if it were racist. Lol. For a defendent entering trial, the legal stragety and plea is all about their rights and interests. As far as I can tell, you will never be able to have a strong opinion on the matter.

You are not listening.


I literally said:

I am not saying what happened was not a horrible racist incident, it's saying given the highly racially charged media we are subject to, I reserve judgment until charges are filed.


I said nothing about a trial.

All crime statistics - it is racist to imply race has any bearing on the acts of individual criminals.

"Milk": The link explains that one college student wrote something stupid in a college paper.

"The ok sign": simply notes that "pepe the frog", Donald Trump, Milo Yiannopoulos, Mike Ma, Kim Hoft, and Lucian Wintrich, like to make it when talking and theorizes that it's a signal some people on the "alt-right" use to show solidarity with one another.

"Cocktails"? It's one person's stupid blog post about feeling uneasy ordering "Tiki drinks".

"Cotton" refers to - for chrissake - an incident where a college President invited a bunch of black students to a meal at his home, and then put jars containing raw unpicked cotton on stems on the centerpiece of each table.


Should I bother to keep reading?

Did anyone else?



Let's be clear about what this thread is: It's an open invitation for people predisposed to hate "the left" to read the names of the links, not their contents, and automatically assume that tons of people on "the left" literally believe that each one of those things is racist. That's why the OP doesn't even try to describe the links, honestly or otherwise.

If anything is disgusting, it's how common this kind of lazy categorization/demonization is becoming. People need to stop acting like a whole bunch of people think stupid things just because they found one person saying something.

(Edit: and sure enough, looking through the comments, the thread is doing exactly what was intended: get a bunch of people to come in and insult "leftists" or "the left" in entirety)

No, it's an open invitation to make fun of your side.


And let's be real honest, it's a lot of fun.
 
The other day someone asked if the neighborhood in a particular city where a company they were traveling to is located was going to be safe. I replied, "The company is on MLK drive. So, that should give you an idea." One of the smart asses in the room piped up, "That's Racist."

I believe he may have been right.

All,

I will be using this thread to compile all of the mainstream media articles, as well as other sources of things that have or are being called racist. This will be a living list. Please help your fellow person of color and gender by adding to this list so we all may be sure to not accidentally do something as racist as drink milk while giving the OK sign.



Milk
The "OK" hand sign
Selling Burritos
Cocktails
Tiki Bars
cotton

Should add you and me to the list.

Nah, I just think dumb kids do dumb things.


Speaking of dumb things. How in the world am I being "racist" for wanting to know the whole story before jumping to conclusions. I said "but if true abhorrent and condemned by 99% of the population , "


I include myself in that 99%.



Police receive report of attempted lynching, they investigate. Due to the fact they are minors and an active investigation they legally can't say much about it. your ilk jumps straight to "RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!" which it may well be.

However, There is a conflicting report they were all putting the noose around thier own necks, including this kid. You want to jump to the worst conclusion, because the media has molded you to do so. I will wait until the whole story is out and charges are filed before making snap judgments.




A Lynching in New Hampshire | Sword and Scale?



Note the mom calls it an "Accident".

"Chase defended his decision to keep mum on the case, saying, “mistakes [the attackers] make as a young child should not have to follow them for the rest of their life.”


So both the mom and the cop hint that this was an accident and there is more to the story.



Do I think it is a grand conspiracy? no. I think it's triggered leftists looking to be offended and outraged before all the facts are in. If it turns out a bunch of white kids did lynch a black kid based on his race, I'll be outraged more than you.
