Black Lives Matter is the black KKK. Or worse. They've literally killed more people than the KKK in 2020.

A white or black person supporting BLM is hating white people. Even if it's just "moral bandwagoning". They might not perceive it as such, but that's what it is.

At worst it's a bunch of white people feeling guilty because they know the way black people are percieved subconsciously by most people in the Western world.

I can't take this serious. Whites are constantly attacked in society, in movies, in media, social media etc.

An infinitesimally small sector of extremists were responsible for the lootings and shootings

What's your take on the charlottesville rally? Peaceful? Non-racist?

The statues that were taken down were monuments to the Confederacy, which was a dark chapter in America's history and I don't blame them for taking them out of public places.

Yes of course you don't blame them. I'm not surprised.

and I was more likely to get shot just for being white

Doesn't happen in the US. Blacks are less likely than or as likely to be shot as whites.

I'm sure I'd get sick of it too, as a white person, if I was living in a country where the standard of normality and beauty was black/asian/latino

You would be free to move back to your home country.

Obviously giving a higher score to a black person just for being black would be ridiculous, but I highly doubt that's happening on a pandemic scale and it sounds highly sensationalist. If you want to provide a source for that, I'd love to read more into it.

Sure, google affirmative action, disparate impact, caren act, aca 5 bill.
The mistreatment of and racism against white people is institutionalized and systemic in the US.

Not surprised that you're not even remotely taking this conversation seriously, but it's nice that you just let me know your true motives with that 'move back to your home country' line. Christ. You're like a caricature of a white racist. This kind of shit is exactly why saidit will never get off the ground and will never compete with reddit, it's full of people like you who refuse to see nuance in anything and want to fight the left by throwing the victim card right back at them in the most bullshit and transparent ways. Do you honestly think anyone is convinced by this 'oh I'm a poor opressed white man' shit? Black people have it shitty, white people have it shitty. You're just making it worse by playing into the oppression olympics and acting like white people are getting cosmically shafted right now.

Also, it's on you to provide sources, I'm not going to spend a week googling to find some sensationalist report of a liberal arts professor trying to make a social statement in Seattle, or something.

I'm sorry but I don't have to take your abusive and gaslighting language.

Black people have it shitty, white people have it shitty.

There are not "two sides" to this, when you have literal laws and policies that discriminate against whites simply for having the wrong skin color.
Your response was expected after your defence of BLM. This is why I didn't bother finding sources to educate you on this topic. History will judge.

Gaslighting? Abuse? Really? You have got to be trolling me right now, dude. If I was trying to be abusive, I'd call you stupid for repeatedly parroting tired leftist talking points in an attempt to validate your white oppression card. I don't think you are, though, I think you're just being willfully obtuse, even though you're probably fully capable of coherent thought. BLM being obnoxious doesn't detract from the fact that white people don't have it that bad right now, or ever in this country, really. If white people were THAT oppressed, we wouldn't have a fucking white president, for christ's sake. Or 44 white presidents.

Ah, of course THAT'S why you can't provide sources. Ok.

[–]Dragonerne 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (14 children)

Deny, deny, deny. Gaslight, gaslight, gaslight. Abuse, abuse, abuse.
"Source?" "Source?"
"BLM isn't racist. Blacks have it really hard."
"Stop playing the victim card, you whitey"
"You're being willfully obtuse"

Sorry, I've debated too many on reddit like this. So yes, I was expecting that.

If you want an actual conversation between two normal people, then you need to first apologize for claiming that I was not taking the conversation seriously, your comment about my "true motives. Christ", your comment about me being like a caricature of a white racist, your comment about people like me being the downfall of saidit, you calling me willfully obtuse.
And then, after apologizing for that, you would spend 5 seconds to type "Affirmative action" into google and click on one of the first links to educate yourself on this topic, and then I might consider forgiving you but I very likely wont, because I would feel uncomfortable and fearing that you might relapse and continue the abuse.

Don't know if you noticed, dude, but I was having a polite conversation until you turned the tide toward abusive language. I wasn't kidding when I asked for a source, I was still debating you in good faith at that point, and I was interested and open in what you had to say, but obviously you had nothing real to show. If you're that concerned about having a 'normal conversation between two people,' you should have stayed civil.

I'm kind of amused at how far you're willing to take this parroting, though. It's kind of endearing in a way. The asking for an apology bit is a little on the nose, I would advise against going that far next time, it isn't really spicy enough to hold up to the 'abuse' tantrum thing you have going on.

After calling me names, obtuse, etc. forgive me for not really caring at this point. If you want to know more, spend 5 seconds on google.

Cared enough to refuse to cite your claims again, I guess

The first one is about blacks being given bonus points in hiring, university etc. I expect you to either dismiss it, start justifying it, say that it's not that bad or that whites deserve the discrimination.

The only reason I did this is because I could see that you're against TRAs. I'm too used to their abuse on reddit and tbh you were in the wrong for how you attacked me. You could've been less rude instead of acting like TRAs. If you continue in that way, then I'm out.

I will read your sources thoroughly and come to my own conclusion, because I still am genuinely interested in the socio-political ramifications of affirmative action and I'm still not sure how I feel about it overall. I view it as a complicated issue, just like systemic racial discrimination against white/black people. That is literally all I wanted in that regard and the snip about how you expect me to 'react' isn't necessary.

It's really strange that you're trying to paint me as the aggressive one here when you're saying shit like 'you would be free to move back to your home country' (Americans are American regardless of their skin color or ancestry, it's not a white ethnostate) and 'there are not two sides to this,' (<- seriously? What happened to All Lives Matter? Black people have issues just like white people, this should not be some controversial statement in any circle.) also completely ignoring my point about the statues where I said it would be JUST as bad to monumentalize a person who enslaved, colonized and murdered white people. You put my good-faith arguments on full blast and decided there was no room for agreement, when we don't even disagree on everything. I didn't attack you, I was responding in kind to your own antagonization.
