Do you think calling someone a piece of shit is the same level of insensitivity as using slave patois?
I don't know RJs intention either, but what he wrote bears a performance that's figuratively pretty similar to racist shit elsewhere (see "we wuz kangs").
I'd add that you probably don't need to target an individual to participate in speech targeted against a certain group of people either. Intentionality is important, sure, but it can't be the only metric for evaluating someone's words.
I am looking to RJs intention, and I don't think his primary intention was derogatory towards a black person. It was being derogatory against the person he made the statement against.
You're basically a walking fallacy, RJ. This is why even people that agree with your politics push back against your posts.
Um, what? Why don't you respond to what I wrote?RJ didn't make an appropriately proportional response? Alert the media!
I mean he is rj. He is easily baited into saying outrageous stuff when he perceived himself as being criticized. Personally i don't think the characteristization here that he is going for makes alot of sense.Um, what? Why don't you respond to what I wrote?
Wasn’t 1976 supposed to be the honorable, non-partisan party to verify the info from rj’s Tier 1 Sauce?
I think it is generational. We called each other retards in grade school as well.
I don't and I agree it is insensitive.
I also think it insensitive to call somebody a piece of shit or a shitty boomer.
I think calling another poster a piece of shit is extremely derogatory and should be beneath any adult. I will leave the relative insensitivity determination to you.
My man didn’t even pull the I have black friends card. He had to go to black clients.
Yes, I think I agree with this, though I'm not sure exactly what your last sentence means. And yeah, of course comparing me to an enslaver because I called him a "walking fallacy" doesn't make a lot of sense.I mean he is rj. He is easily baited into saying outrageous stuff when he perceived himself as being criticized. Personally i don't think the characteristization here that he is going for makes alot of sense.
