What is that smiley face for? What were you trying to do there? Why did you call me pathetic, were you trying to piss me off? On this side of my screen, I see that a person is trying to make me mad because they disagree with me, of course my perspective isn’t going to change, what was the purpose of that? Don’t you want change? If you think you are right wouldn’t you want people to understand so we can all grow?

wow you're really reading into that smiley. just because it pisses you off doesn't mean that was my goal. an unfortunate side effect of expressing my genuine opinion and being slightly coy about it i guess do you know that meme of the guy holding a sign that says "compromise?" between civil rights activists and klansmen?

Im not saying Malcom X was wrong. Not addressing these issues only benefits those who aren’t suffering, that isn’t right. And neither should you suffer in silence, accepting inequity as something deserved. I’m just saying that the conflict and tension should bring about understanding, not use generalization to enable more injustice.

Injustice is a stretch, but that is what hate brings, tension, tribalism, conformity, generalization. If you believe that actionable solutions are reactionary violence, then you’re in the market for injustice, all it takes is a mistake and the wrong people die. I understand that saying things on the internet is not that, but the more people radicalize, the more hate there is, the more likely things are to go that route, and spiral. It probably won’t, but I still don’t think hate is a solution

These days all it takes is a screenshot and your hateful words could enable someone in a social media bubble somewhere to renew their fucked up perspective. It is so easy to control what someone sees, spark outrage, and leave them focused on the wrong thing. Why would you want your words to enable racism? I don’t know you, or what you usually say I’m just saying that doing something negative, in general has a negative impact.
