It still isn't. You're tripping. It's very different, since your concerns are not directed at any extremist hate groups or government overreach. You just need to be able to identify as a victim.

You don't feel the same. If someone flippe dthat round and told you they hated bigotted Christians who are responsible for Inquisitions and Magdalene Laundries you'd accuse them of being Soviet revolutionaries all over again.

How none of that is remotely connected to anything you bitch about that is said by people here.

So should people who identify as other genders just be silent about it? By the way, your friend is definitely a racist, just FYI.

What Turtlespeed thinks he does - What he actually does -

A ) The one has nothing to do with the other. B ) You're not explaining anything graphically, your just being graphic for no reason. It's not even tangentially connected to the discussion so what possible point is there for you to keep digging that hole?

Except when you bring it up in entirely unrelated discussions involving groups of people who might use those practices. Then it's a very strong indicator. Yeah you just keep telling yourself that, you poor victimised majority.

Since it was the first line of your post, that's impossible. Right - so someone was horribly killed for no reason by a branch of the government... and you don't think the media should have talked about it. That's ridiculous. There were protests in Minneapolis the next day, LA the day after and numerous major cities the day after that. That didn't happen because the media had convinced evryone they should protest and it certainly didn't happen because the media told everyone that Floyd had been a uniquely important and valuable human being. Once again, that suggestion is utterly absurd, and strongly pushing for the title of stupidest thing you've ever said. Notice, by the way, that you haven't posted a single example of anyone in the media saying it. The protests are not just in the US.

You bought up the homophobia. And before you try and find an even more offensive way to prove you're cool with it, please don't If you're not going to own up, at least have the good grace to shut up.

No, but bringing it up in an entirely unrelated conversation about women in general would be a strong indicator.

You have to state the argument that it is hypocrisy before you can say "so it is". Yes, it is the manner of and reason for Floyd's death that is important. Why do you have a problem with that? The media has to make money. It's simply juvenile to suggest that alone invalidates anything they have to say. Then there could not be a better demonstration of your utter cluelessness on the motivations behind protests against entrenched institutional racism inside the organisations that we pay for and our elected governments have direct control over. The suggestion that millions of people all spontaneously decided that Floyd was a more important person than anyone else who was ever killed is utterly absurd. It's further down the rabbit hole than you've ever gone before and that is really saying something. How does that make any sense to you? Say a storekeeper is killed during a robbery. Everyone knows robbery is bad. If you protest because of it, what exactly are you protsting about? If you held up a sign saying Storekeepers' Lives Matter do you think you be faced with counterprotests from the Robbers' Lives Matter faction? Of course not, it's a completely different scenario. Indeed, your obsession with defending Trump leads you to see hatred everywhere. And again if anyone said to you "I know what Trump thinks because he didn't say XYZ" then you would be claiming you saw plenty of hatred. Yet when it comes to your incessant attacks on the media you think you're the only person judging them rationally.

No, but so what? Almost none have. Do you really think that means that everyone out there marching right now thinks George Floyd had a more important and/or valuable life than the other 250M people in your country? Is that really how simplistic your worldview is? What is obvious to you is invariably incorrect. I'd also point out once again that if someone here slammed Trump for what they inferred was his opinion based on what he didn't say you'd go apeshit and start throwing around accusations of hatred and obsession.

But you're not pointing out any hypocrisy, you're just reposting the excuses racists use to denigrate the BLM movement.

Why are you asking people to justify an opinion that nobody holds?

Just? That is a falsehood so blatant it’s bordering on the absurd.

Swamprats.

Why would it have been capitalized? He wasn't talking about the Stephen King character or the Addams family cousin.

Sure. And because of that I haven't claimed to be trying to steer the thread back on topic.

And the second biggest car manufacturer in the world HAS two of its CEOs in prison is still mired in multiple legal battles because it couldn't be bothered to make a modern diesel engine properly. Again, what's your point? If every major car company went through quality problems then got it sorted is there any reason to think Tesla can't do the same?

Either way, it leads to you. You haven't contributed any on topic arguments since you made the first off topic post about how colleges work.

You mean like yours? That EVs won't be worthwhile for anyone to buy until they can accelerate as fast as your SUV.... but not faster! That's just pointless and useless. Look, what's your deal here? You don't want a Tesla anyway, so why do you care how good their quality is? It has no bearing on the viability of EVs in general because they are just one company, and it doesn't even have much bearing on the future of Tesla specifically because manufacturing qality isn't a constant - as shown by the article you trumpeted showing that Tesla had lost the CR recommendation, which they have already regained. Longer term, take Mercedes. 20 years ago they'd declined into utter garbage in terms of construction, interior quality and faults. The company didn't sink though, and now they make good cars again and are successful.

Killing In The Name Of is protest against racist police forces and racist politicians oppressing black people. Unless the Right wing people you speak of are also currently participating in the BLM protests it is not their anthem. So indeed cwood's point is exactly right. Just as the R's only listen to the chorus of Born In The USA and ignore the entire point and purpose of the song, so you have only listened to the final verse of Killing In The Name Of and ignored the entire point and purpose of the song.

I think you didn't listen to it very well.

Then worry no longer. Sir John Hawkins Square to be renamed "A historic part of Plymouth Square named after slave trader is set to be renamed after a Plymouth Argyle player who was denied England cap because of his skin colour."

Wow. Leaving aside the whole 1/2 is definitely a real number thing, that really conjures up an image of doctors treating Trump as if he was a toddler who just learned how to do up his Velcro shoes for the first time. Wow Donald, that was so good, you’re such a clever boy! Can you try doing up the left one too?
