MAX MCGEE'S PROFILE

I'm not going to speak to any SJW stuff or why I think 'political correctness' sucks ass to avoid derailing further.

Honestly, I'm terrible at arguing like this and I do accept the "ass" title as I don't think you're as wantonly ignorant as Harmonic, and I see that you're more focussed on the conflict between the police and people in general, so yeah you're right that technically this whole thread as in, what you are discussing, is not a entirely about racial conflict.

To be fair, I CHANGED 'ASS' TO THE MILDER 'JERK' IN AN EDIT SHORTLY AFTER POSTING BECAUSE I FELT REALLY BAD FLAMING SOMEONE SO NEW, SO THERE'S THAT.

The "every cop is a turd" thing HAS been proved otherwise, by all the police who do their job well in that they actually work to aid and protect the people they're supposed to, who don't abuse their power to help themselves or to hurt others.

Sorry for being unclear. I meant I think that every cop is an asshole except for the INDIVIDUAL COPS that prove me wrong with their actions. I know this is an extremist position. I just don't care.

It's a strange burden the bureaucracy places on law enforcement. They create extremely dumb laws that police people are expected to kill/die to protect, like selling cigs outside of the package.

It's the same people who make those terrible laws as those who will yell the loudest during these issues claiming cops are just out to kill blacks for fun. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

Would you agree that selective prosecution and enforcement of arbitrarily criminalized marijuana (which is a total bullshit law in the first place because pot is less harmful than alcohol) is used as a tool of the establishment to keep generations of young black and brown men behind bars for most of their lives?

well dat was short. almost too short to review, honestly, but I WANT DAT MAKERSCORE so review ahoy.

(You have a very cool graphics style, by the way. I'd love to collab on some kinda game with you some time.)

Yellow Magic you ninja'd me.

...if it really caused you to feel deeply hurt and upset, I think you need to develop thicker skin.

What you literally wrote without any kind of context or tone to indicate it was a joke, was that ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY THE SCUM OF THE EARTH.

So you're saying you're deeply offended as much by racism against black people as you are by racism against your own race?

Um, yes. Or Asians. Or Native Americans. Or Middle Easterners. Or whatever. Of course. What kind of fucking person ISN'T just as offended by racism regardless of who it's directed at? Racism is bad! I am against racism IN GENERAL.

Institutionalized racism affecting black and brown people in the United States over the last several centuries/decades is HORRIFYING. It's obviously much more serious than any form of racism against whites in the western world. But all racism is still bad!

That is the last thing I have to say against the topic of "racism against white people" in this thread unless someone posts some vile bullshit I feel powerless not to answer.

How exactly do we disagree?

Well I fucking hate cops I don't imagine you would get behind that so there's that lol. I also don't think that Darren Wilson needed to shoot Mike Brown that many times. There's such a fucking thing as continuum of force, dawg.

I speak for the silent majority instead.

Harmonic is the lorax, you guys. He speaks for the trees.

And then there's the soft racism of lower expectations for non-whites. That's a leftist thing. And it's pretty abhorrent, maybe you should start paying attention to that as well.

There is truth here, though. I personally find it extremely racist that (white) SJWs think that minorities must be referred to with the exact right labels ("people of color") or they must NEVER hear white people use the n-word in any context or they will go into histrionics, or that women are so frail and pathetic that seeing a risque shirt will chase them out of STEM fields. The whole (white) SJW attitude towards minorities is so virulently condescending that it feels actually racist.

I really fucking hate SJWs. I also hate pretty much anyone who watches Fox News except to laugh at its increasingly laughable awfulness. As you can imagine, when it comes to politics I have very few allies on the internet.

You might want to reread Mawk's post. He was talking about how the entire political system in the United BigotsStates of America stacks favors whites so much, that being "racist" against them holds absolutely no ground to bet legitimate racism to begin with. Many in a few other countries this wouldn't be true, but not 'Murica.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'holds absolutely no ground to bet' in the first place.

When I was 18 and trying to fly out of Atlanta with my friend, I was told rather cattily that I had missed my flight by the black airline employee because I was a few minutes later to check in. I was out a lot of money, and would have to go back to the hotel we'd already checked out of to wait. Then the black airline employee let the black family several spaces BEHIND US in the line check in to the EXACT SAME FLIGHT.

Obviously this did not result in my injury or death, so it's not that big of a deal, but it was a real thing that actually happened.

So why was that not 'legitimate racism'? Are we limiting our definition of racism to the kind that's fatal?

Anyway I cannot reread mawk's post because I have ?him? on ignore for my mental health. Any question I may have accidentally asked mawk in a previous post was purely rhetorical.
