Being racist is not equal to violence.

So why don't we look at the actions of some of the violent, then? Do any of the number of white mass shooters you know I could name reflect poorly on the white community? How about any of the number of whites that have lynched people? Do they reflect poorly on the white community? Emmett Till's killers were both white. If this guy putting his knee on the toddler (but clearly not putting him any weight on him, as evidenced by the discharge from the hospital that said he didn't have any injuries) is supposed to be reason to look down on black people, then surely beating a kid to death and dumping his body in the river means that white people are all just irredeemable pieces of shit, right?

I don't disagree with your premise of condemning a whole group of people for the actions of one. Though blacks disproportionately reflect higher violence rates on average even with socio economic factors are taken into consideration. You will never succeed at spinning this to your advantage. The guy in question isn't black anyway.

I think you mean I'll never convince you personally that your racist views are wrong. Which I knew going into this conversation. The goal was to point out to others who might read this that what you said was just you trying to justify your racism, and that like every other racist your justification doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

I recognize mental and biological differences exist between different ethnic groups. This is a genuine interpretation of natural and scientific data available. Slandering me as a racist is soooo last decade grandpa.

Yet you are so pedantic and obsessed with your faith based belief in pathological egalitarianism, you troll uncensored forums like a creep peeping in people's bedroom windows trying to catch them in the forbidden act of "racism" in your forsaken witch hunt. Literally the epitome of the perverted cretins the left has mutated into.

I used to be like you, then it all made sense one day, now things are much more clear. That's why I know your efforts are futile, once you see it...you can never go back. There's a brighter day ahead for all races, all of humanity. Where finally true peace, prosperity and kindness will embrace us.

You seem a bit confused. Let me remind you what you said that started this whole conversation -

Wow, I really don't understand why nobody respects african "americans", when they do such upstanding and valiant things as this.

To address the rest of your post, first you call me a grandpa and then you tell me you "used to be like me". You then call me a troll, and also accuse me of being "pedantic and obsessed with your faith based belief in pathological egalitarianism". Am I a troll or am a a genuine anti-racist? Am I a boomer or am I a naive youth? None of this is coherent. Pick a narrative and stick to it.

And while we're at it, if you want to be a racist, then just get comfortable with it and accept yourself for what you are. The existence of genetic differences between races doesn't in any way make a logical case for judging a race by the actions of an individual member of that race. Yet you're doing so anyways. You know who does that? A racist.

People like you is why the left is eating itself. And why I got out and embraced a healthy and constructive view of reality instead. You are so consumed by hate, that you have become the monster you claim to fight.

"consumed by hate"

You're the one calling black people african "americans" all because of one jackass. Guess what, I also recognize that there are genetic differences between races. It doesn't mean it's fair, or logical, to judge the group by the actions of one.

"People like you is why the left is eating itself."

Why would you think just because I have no tolerance for alt-righters or "racial realists" that I would also take issue if someone happened to just be a moderate? Actual examples of "the left eating its own" involve trashing and infighting over minor differences. This is is no way an example of that.

I didn't say that. You're so belligerent, you're getting posters mixed up.

Told you before that I agree with your statement.

Extremists like you are alienating moderate leftists. You are embracing authoritarianism and are filled with hate and intolerance for your perceived opposition. Racial issues are more a symptom of a deeper problem, and you are pointlessly wasting energy fighting circumstance, which is according to plan.

Sorry for getting you guys mixed up. But being against racism isn't an extremist position. Nor is it an embrace of authoritarianism. The people espousing those beliefs in 2020 aren't moderates, they're alt-right. And the alt-right can fuck off.
