what's wrong with that song?
i get it straight from the mouths and keyboards of other "critics of systemic racism", but let's leave that aside for a moment.
you claim it is a strawman to suggest that "critics of systemic...
so we're just talking semantics, then. in your opinion is it racist to think that individual differences could account for differences in the aggregate?
i know i'm a little late on this, but there really hasn't been much valuable discussion since this comment. it's interesting that you call it a strawman, when you yourself have made comments (maybe...

why can't we disagree with people without attributing motives? also, claiming that objectivity is racist is 1000 times worse than any method for teaching arithmetic could ever be (unless you are...
i agree with guis on this one, but why are we talking about common core when people are saying that objectivity in math is racist?
i agree we should teach math in a way that helps kids learn the concepts. i'm not entirely convinced that common core is effective for that, but i agree that it probably has very little to do with...
"the concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false"

i think it's obvious than any sane and reasonable person would have no problem affirming the statement without qualification, if it didn't come with all of the baggage such that it doesn't mean what...
not sure what you're getting at. perhaps you are assuming to know what i would say if i thought this were a safe place to discuss it. just like any complex problem, there is a complex web of causes...
that sort of thing definitely needs to be stopped. it makes me sad that people have to live like that. it also makes me sad that there is no room to look at root causes and solutions to fix those...
i agree the movement has grown beyond the organization. but there is an organization that benefits from the use of the hashtag.

you don't have to assume much when they start with outright lies to make their case stronger. "hands up don't shoot!"
and then there's the actual organization blm -- i don't want to be associated...
your last paragraph is key here. if people were listening more and shouting less, we might find that most reasonable people agree on more than we think. the problem with the blm movement is it is...

are you actually complaining that the burden of proof is on the plaintiff? you have obviously never been falsely accused.
i think it's a mistake to simplify it in that way, but at least you recognize that there are well-meaning folks on the right (something that seems to elude most on the left). you can empathize with...
i was looking for an old post on a completely different subject and stumbled across this by accident:
i know the whole "colorblind" thing is really out of style lately, but that guy had a point...
