Starting to think that LainaGabranth is a russian bot trying to make the american left worse than it already is. It would make sense because the only people IRL I've seen being serious about ACAB/other retarded takes are furries and they aren't really people to begin with.
supporting police reform = furry, I guess??

Completely serious.
Then you're completely tone deaf both to historical and modern context, which means there's no reasoning with you. You're just another fragile white guy looking to play the victim over something that doesn't affect you in the slightest.

Dude for real, the white fragility from the far right posters on this forum is unbelievable.

Legit all you have to say is something innocuous like "segregation and redlining negatively affected an entire population of people" and you get flooded with replies from coping whitoids.

Says the privileged white guy from an insulated white neighborhood. Let him tell you.

Well, you would first need to start using reason and not ignorance, buzzwords, trigger phrases, regurgitated arguments and logic.

I presented facts. The Chief of Police in Minneapolis during the 2020 riots? Black. The Attorney General? Black. Most of the police force? Black. All of this is easily verifiable. I provided evidence, logic and reason.

Your response is, "You're a tone deaf white guy and you're fragile."

No one acted like a victim. You are speaking from your own imaginary platform of privilege, WHITE BOY who went to an all-white school and has never once understood what it's like to live on the streets.

You have no clue who you are talking to. Stick to the actual topic and the facts presented, rather than trying to attack me personally. Ad hominem is a terrible fallacy.

The high school I went to was preppy as hell, that doesn't mean I grew up in the same area or even fit in there. Are you good for anything other than trying to get a rise out of people?

That can't be a serious question. The Minneapolis Police Department is one of the worst offenders in the nation when it comes to racially-motivated attacks and murders. The poor neighborhoods are mostly black because of redlining and past segregation (which continues to inform current policy). Of course you're going to have a different experience living there as a white person.


I went to a high school with about 2100 students, and precisely 2 of them were black. Every teacher was white. So how am I to know whether including a couple black teachers would've improved my education or not? The teachers I did have told a lot of lies of omission, certainly.
Hmmmmmmmmmm. Definitely seems like all Xzi said was "tone deaf white guy."

You provided evidence of nothing, this still doesn't change the fact that they can't control their officers. Nor does it change the fact that a mostly-black school wanting to have mostly-black teachers has no affect on you whatsoever.

No one acted like a victim.
You're crying "racism" when there's none to be found. That's playing the victim card.

Oh. So you were a minority and can empathize with people facing racial injustice. That's cool.

And I was homeless from age 15 to 17 because my alcoholic mother was whoring around on the streets and getting beaten, so I had to go to school just to be able to EAT at least once per day. As one of the only white kids in an all-black school, how do you think that went for me? Do you think I was drenched in privilege and all doors were kicked down for me?

Hunger doesn't care about your skin color. AGAIN, not that anecdotal evidence accounts for anything, but if we had to compare which of us lived the "black experience", as you imagine it, more closely, which of us do you think it would be?

You're Zack Morris. I was a street rat begging in front of a Food Lion so I could get something to eat at night, breaking into people's garages that I knew had heat so I wouldn't freeze to death.

My race didn't shield or protect me.

Your parents' MONEY is what shielded and protected YOU. And you have the gall and audacity to attempt to condescend to me.

Grow up. Get over your White Guilt. Go live some ACTUAL life and see what it's like to have to steal to eat. Pick up your mother from the floor after she got her ass beaten again by her drunken boyfriend. THEN tell me all about how you know about the "black experience".

It isn't about it having an affect on me. I already made it clear, RACE ONLY MATTERS TO RACISTS.

You do not LIKE being called a racist, do you, son?

That is exactly you are, when you suggest that RACE helps people to relate to others because of SHARED LIFE EXPERIENCES.

We are the same race, kiddo. Our life experiences could not be more different. You are a privileged white boy suffering from terminal TDS and White Guilt. I am a grown man who never gave a damn about skin color. We aren't the same.

I lived in some neighborhoods where white people were the minority, yes. I've had mostly good experiences and a few bad ones when interacting with people of other races/ethnicities. Unfortunately, all it took was a few bad experiences growing up to turn my brother into a fucking neo-nazi, so I'm sure you and him would get along well.

"Bad things happened to me, how can I be privileged!?"

Unless you can one-up him with a sob-story of your own, you are speaking from a place of privilege, bigot.

So you've been called the n-word a whole lot as a white guy, eh? Been pulled over by cops for absolutely nothing? Had your application for jobs automatically thrown out just because of your first or last name? Didn't fucking think so. Certain experiences are far more common to certain racial/ethnic groups than others. It's not racist to acknowledge that, it's reality. Deal with it.
