I wouldn't worry about it too much this type of thing is running its course and I have a feeling it's on its way out. It was all sensationalized by the media and the media is losing its credibility.

Look at the website he got this from it's a social justice Warrior publication and that's all I do they don't do it because they're trying to Virtue signal it's not that virtuous they're doing it to get clicks to get people looking at it and talking about it it's a case of negative attention being better than no attention.

Don't worry this s*** can't sustain a long.

Lol at the hypocrisy in getting upset at this.

So when people say "Black Lives Matter" the response is automatically a reference to black on black crime and they need to take care of the problems within their own community.

On Muslim Terrorism, the peaceful majority need to denounce the terrorist and take care of their own community.

White people troll miniorities, no need for whites to try and control the unruly within their own community.

You've got a good point. If there are racist white assholes presuming to speak for all whites, then maybe we do have a responsibility to make it clear that they don't.

No there's not trolling is nowhere near an act of Terror or violence it's idiots trying to get a rise out of you.

I don't really feel responsible for some stupid comments some ass clown makes on the internet because they're the same race as me that's retarded.

And there is no white community that's ridiculous. The only white people that obsess about the race to the point where they form communities based on it wear pointy hoods. And they're pretty widely denounced to the point where they're more of a punchline.

Maybe these little balkanized communities that separate based on some ridiculous characteristic that they all have in common like race need to quit being racist find community with people who don't look like you.

This is one way to take it, CLAX's opinion is also the other way to take it. The overall point is to be consistent. I simply get annoyed at hypocrisy. I detest tribalism and prefer people to be judged as an individual rather than on some collectivist idea of group guilt, so I lean to the same opinion as CLAX in that I am not responsible for what some other white guy says, just the same as a random Muslim person has no responsibility for the actions of a terrorist, or some random black person has for the criminal actions of others. People should be judged as individuals. The only caveat to that would be if an individual identifies themselves as part of an organized collective, for instance saying KKK members are racist as that is the principle behind the group.

If you are going to fall into group think though, don't be a hypocrite. If you are going to call out other groups for something and hold a group responsible for their community then you do have a responsibitly to police your own.

See post #30, I largely agree with you.

I was not saying there is an equivalency between trolling, violence, and terror. Only the concept of group guilt for people who share a common characteristic but are otherwise unassociated.
 
And "round up our own" isn't the least bit discriminating or racist in itself, right? How condescending, self important, arrogant, self righteous they are.

Kinda getting tired of people thinking only white people can be racist. That's the biggest denial out there.

I hadn't noticed any difficulty among the local people of color in terms of responding to white trolls. I wonder why these people think this service is even necessary or desirable? The bigotry of low expectations?

Yep we're a sensitive bunch up here. Hey, is it customary for people in Houston to wear shoes in public yet?

I'm impressed that a conservative knows what the word, "mantra" means. Thems pretty uppity words for someone who thinks book-larnin' is evil.

Gee, this must be the type of trolling and flaming that only a white, liberal, internet firefighter can put out.

From a purely technical standpoint, stereotypes are evil, since they prevent people from seeing outside their own box.

You think conservatives consider scholarship evil? That's pretty ignorant.

Treating victims like they cant do for themselves and taking over, "Helping Them" which tends to turn into saving them, is standard in Victim Culture.

Thinking people of color are not smart enough or need help in social media is a pretty racist idea to hold. Why are you so eager to dismiss this bigotry as trivial.

I do agree that not many will care , but that has more to do with This form of bigotry and racist thinking doesn't fit the agenda driven definition of what racism is.

I don't understand this.

I think the service is silly and unnecessary, but this idea that if yu just offer help to someone that means you don't think they can handle it themselves seems to be a crock of ****. Its the kind of thing that people only bring up when it's someone they disagree with and would never say if it's a form of help they think is good. A friends kid is trying to get a job in my field and I offered to look over his resume and tell him what we generally like to see and help him get it better and that he could use me as a reference. Is that cause I think he's a victim and isn't smart enough to fill out a resume?

I mean, these people even pointed out that they respond to people at request (so they aren't just marching in uninvited) and it says that they do it not because the black folks are unable, but that they don't feel that the black folks should have to always do it alone. So I disagree that this service is really necessary, I'd prefer to just block trolls on facebook, but it doesn't seem to be what yall are making it out to be.

Like saying that democrats promote victimhood? If you're an observer of ignorance you have no further to look that your own mirror.

Now there's a group of people who need a life. Very racist of them, I might add, since they make the assumption minorities can't speak for themselves. :)

I wouldn't say it is a problem, people are free to be as hypocritical as they want. Sometimes I find it funny, other times annoying. I largely think this is funny because some of the same people who complain about "group think" and "identity politics" will participate in it until it is directed at them and then they flip and say it isn't right.

I'm not saying I'm above hypocrisy or anything, hell I encourage everyone to point out anything I am being hypocritical on so I can reevaluate my on views.
