In GD. I'm not going to post the link, as the thread's still active.

Jesus Christ. Nothing like discussion of racism to drive people completely batshit.

7. I haven't gotten tombstoned from that thread.
But I did respond to a related pm by telling the person I was blocking further messages from them because I don't want to waste my time with filth. Probably tombstonable if I'd been the one to initiate that out of the blue, I don't know.

I don't know what is in people's minds, they want to start a big discussion saying we should STFU about racism, the big problem in our society is a class war, and they can barely get that out of their mouths before they are right in there trying to instigate their own class war, telling us who in the thread is low class because of the language they use or the way they wear their hair.

What the hell. If a person was that concerned about classism, why would they be wagging their fingers around saying some people should expect to be harassed by police because of their class?

8. It was a good try
With all factors the same, race matters. Trying to explain, much less convince, the brain dead, is impossible. I could cite the actual reports, which are found in the thread "Graphic examples of the racially-based social caste system", but it wouldn't matter. It's as if they have no concept of race unless they're included.
