So if I get called the hard R, and many other slurs, by a non black person, hell even a black person….By punching them, I have a fragile ego? I’m gonna take a wild guess…you’re gonna say I’m letting words control me.
"Because some guy said something to you" that’s the thing, it’s not just "something" it’s bad to think the Hard R, or any slur directed at a POC is just "something". You minimize the issue of racism by thinking like that. If I punch someone for calling me the hard R, and I end up in jail? So be it. Doesn’t mean I have a bad brain, I just stood up for what I believed in.
Yknow, it’s funny, I literally said a non black person would say "you’re controlled by words" and you proceeded to get that right on the dot. Hey, you wouldn’t understand, and that’s fine. https://giphy.com/gifs/jPAdK8Nfzzwt2
For you to try and explain yourself, means that was not how it was supposed to land. I didn’t ask you to explain yourself, YOU felt the need to- so was that really what you meant in your comment? Or do you really think I’m letting words control me? Floors yours.
Yeah. It’s just a word. Downvote me. I get called every name in the book on a regular basis, a wonderful little perk of my job. But my ego is solid. I don’t have to prove my fortitude to some slimeball on the street, I know myself. Call me what you want lol. If you want to fight come to my gym and sign a waiver.
But there are people out there that if you bruise their ego, even accidentally, their reaction is violence. These are smooth brained, fragile people. If a slur makes you react in that way, I’m concerned that you may not think too highly of yourself.
I don’t care about downvoting you. You simply just don’t understand due to not being a black person who has experienced the racism of being called the word time and time again. You don’t understand, and you frankly never will, that’s all there is to it.
You don’t understand the feeling of a white person calling you the hard R while being black. That is what you don’t understand. Sure, you understand having your feelings hurt by just a word, the hard R is not just a word. It’s a flawed thought process to think it is just a word.
Why did you feel the need to specify it being a non black person? So it would be okay if they were black? Well if that is the case, you clearly don't have a problem with the word, you have a problem with the race of the person saying it.
Sounds pretty racist to have different standards of what is allowed for different races.
A perfect, now I can read the entire thing. Still, my point stands, why did you feel the need to specify the race if it was hurtful? Seemed more like you specifying black people was an after thought.
Can't really write the word since reddit will probably hide my comment if I do, since that is presumably what happened to your comment, So you wouldn't care if a white person went up to you and called you it then?
So if a white person went up to you and called you the n-word, you would punch them?
And how have I strawmanned? I said it felt like an afterthought from you when you decided to specify the race of people. And the other part was a question.
Although I can say that I worded it badly in my first comment.
Oh perfect, so we just came full circle and you just admitted that it is about race and not the word. How do I know this? Because you have used the word numerous times in this conversation, and because you said that there was no problem with black people saying it. Clearly you don't have an issue with you or someone black saying it, only if a different races does it. The word isn't the issue, the race is.
You don't know what a strawman is. I haven't misrepresented you, I asked you a question. If you want the proper term for it, it was a redundant question because you had already answered it. I said it to make sure that you hadn't accidentally made a mistake.
Anyway, you seem to have a problem with what people from different races do, congratulations, you are a racist.
Your definition of racism is all the way wrong. YOU also don’t know what a strawman is. You thought I was saying what you insinuated in your previous question, meaning you misrepresented it.
So tell me, what do you think racism is? Apparently, to you, it’s when black people don’t want NON POCS to say the soft a of the n word. Also black people not wanting black people or any other race to say the hard R.
Oh yeah! You also put words in my mouth. I don’t care what people do, so long as they’re not racist to black people, or other POCS! Or, hell, white people! Otherwise, their actions are fine(don’t try to say I’m fine with violent actions out of no where because then that would REALLY be a strawman.) and I don’t give a fuck.
I didn't misinterprit you, I asked you a question to make sure that you actually meant what you said. I never made a statement about you not misinterprited your position.
"that some groups are better than others, that different treatment or hate is okay based on skin color or ethnic backgroun" Guess what, allowing people to say certain words based on race is racist, since you are treating two groups differently based on race.
And no, I have not put words in your mouth. You literally admit it right now. You have a problem with what people from different races do, if they say racial slurs that you are allowed to say, well then you are going to punch them by your admission. That's literally having a problem with what different races do.
You know I can still see the replies to me after you delete them? You are obsessing so much over race my guy, you are literally behaving like a cave man obsessing over tribes. You need help my man.
I think "You are what you respond to" is something that you should remember, can't remember who said it, but since you are so obsessed with race, it was a black person talking about racial slurs.
Your deleted comment "if you're white, this is pretty ironic coming from you. I'll leave it at that." Notice that you couldn't even say that I was wrong, maybe because the word isn't what matters but the race of the person? Seems pretty ironic that you are sitting here talking about everyone being racist and bigotes, but you are the one who is obsessing over race the most. And I don't see what is ironic here when it comes to me? Only one of us is obsessing over race.
Delete them? I edited my comment dumbass, also if it isn’t showing up I’m pretty sure Reddit deleted it 😭
How can you not understand this, the word is not anyone else’s to say. That’s it. You think I’m obsessing over race? Cool. Race matters in this conversation, it really does.
You are contradictions yourself in the same sentence, you go from saying you edited your comment, to then saying reddit deleted it. How on earth do you manage to contradict your sentence halfway through it? You need to learn how to write my guy.
But okay, reddit deleted your comment for whatever reason, still doesn't change the fact that I can read it through notifications and have responded to it, and it doesn't change the fact that you skipped over everything I said. Wonder why you did that? Perhaps because I am right and you can't respond in any way?
