I'm bouncing around because I'm trying to respond to 3 or 4 different people who are bouncing around.
The point of making this thread was to start a conversation about the ongoing danger of white supremacy in our country right now. We recently had a mass shooting by a white supremacist, we recently had a murder committed at a rally by a white supremacist, and we had an attempted murder in this story. There are others too. This forum has never had an honest discussion about this.
A conversation usually includes condemnation of the thoughts, ideologies, and actions. Followed by a course of action. That is what I considered a conversation to include.
The conversation took a sharp turn when the deflections started. Do you want me to explain again how the deflections showed up in this thread? Lots of people noticed it.
Then my point became, why do people downplay and deflect this type of thing? Example, Devout Pessimist just said all those people killed don't even equal a weekend in Chicago. That is neither here nor there, it's just a deflection. Comebackkid says ALL of these murders are just lone nuts. Again, downplaying. He also made sure to bring up Muslims, gangs, and leftists. Deflection.
I can go on, this thread is full of strange reactions. If you want me to, just say the word and I'll give more examples.
Can you respond to this:
TheComeBackKid deflected to gangs, leftists, and Muslims. He also downplayed the issue as just a few "lone nuts." Do you acknowledge that he is doing exactly what you hate? There is nothing you hate more than when a liberal does that in regards to Muslims or Antifa. Right?
I disagree with how you represented tck' s posts and devout's posts...
They did condemn the actions of the racists in the op and added that in the grand scheme of things, Islamic terror and the murders inner cities is far worse...
And I agree...
I mean, if you want to have a discussion about how to address and/or curb acts of violence in the name of white supremacy, sure...i will have that conversation with you...
What is disappointing about your approach to this thread is that @SBJJ And I added some personal experiences (after condemning the actions in the op) which you completely glossed over, and instead focused on how we didn't respond the way you wanted us too...
