School in Seattle cancels Halloween parade because it has it has "historically marginalized students of color"

[City]

What did you expect, when organizations like BLM use terrorism to make people do what they want?

The school simply considered the options between having people annoyed for a few days versus the possibility of getting vandalized and death threats. Terrorism always works, kids.

Fuck no. Not addressing it is absolutely the worst thing to do (unless you are in immediate physical danger and don't have the linguistic skills to diffuse it), but if it's online then there's no reason not to address it.

Just ignore mean comments
If sosomeone'holding a gun of course do something.
If it's online it's mostly TROLLING

I don't buy the trolling excuse in every case, and I don't buy that there isn't something deeper behind certain types of comments.

I must've read this wrong, did you have auto-correct on or something?
Also, any sources for your "BLM terrorism" claims?

I've never experienced it on the internet, but there are cases where people have ended their lives due to "mean comments" so I'm not sure it's as simple as you think it is.

I'm assuming that you are referring to online comments
Yeah people have but they have to realize, most of those people are underaged kids or trolls. Remember miitopia? It once had a kid saying "NO BLACK PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO PLAY WII SPORTS CLUB OR WE WILL PUT YOU IN SLAVERY" Young kids may not understand why racism is bad and once again "most of it is trollng" People have to understand before reading

noun
the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.
the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism.
a terrorist method of governing or of resisting a government.
intimidation or coercion by instilling fear:

BLM has burnt down whole cities, assaulted civilians, cops, politicians, people who dared to clean "BLM" scribbles on walls, doxxed people who didn't fully bent over for the movement, tried to boycott celebrities who didn't "took a knee" in sports games, and so on. So yeah, the definition is spot-on.

This school took that decision to not piss off a terrorist organization.

I think it's important to make the distinction between kids being kids, and adults being racist. I don't believe there is any evidence to say that most of online harassment is just kids trolling. Look at communities like Kiwi Farms that are clearly not kids. In fact, there are gaming sites like DSOG where the comments are full of racial slurs and they are also clearly adults.

Kiwi Farms and Enclyopedia Dramatica Forums are all satire
I've actually used to racist troll a few years ago. Wasn't a good thing I did I admit, but you could clearly tell when something's just a satirical troll or if it's actually racist.

inb4 christmas is racist.

It's kinda funny that Trump got a good amount of his base to believe that Biden would cancel Christmas. "Kinda" being a key word. Sad and pathetic would be more accurate.

I'll play devil's advocate for a bit and try to remind that not all people that support BLM also support the radicalization of the group. In fact this being a problem that existed as far back as the origins of BLM back in the Baltimore protests years ago a lot of people who took on the name of BLM were simply rioting/destroying/stealing property for the sake of doing so and trying to use the group as a means to mask their activities under an act of protest. A lot of early BLM people did not want to be attached to these rioters as it would poison the name and cause for the group's purpose. The current form of the group is exactly what they did not want to happen, and has devolved into a group that would just go and cause mayham at the drop of a hat while looking like they are protesting for a good cause. Worst yet is that multiple parties are aware of this, but are afraid to act against it or shed light on it as it could get them targeted by the same people, or just as bad outside bandwagon supporters of the group in its current form will try to ruin your entire online presence for so much as pointing out the problems in this group as it would be seen as a form of opposition which can be in their eyes translated into a form of racism. Because lord knows we live in a world today where context and subtly is no longer a thing. Its either you exist on one side or the other now, the political landscape of the world today is braindead simple, and it sickens me.
