[QUOTE=Kopimi;42113388]yeah and he went on to immediately proclaim that the assailant was motivated by the trayvon martin case. don't talk to me about "missing the point" when you refuse to acknowledge what i'm saying.[/QUOTE] I've told myself some time ago not to debate with traybots, but I didn't proclaim the assailant was motivated by the Trayvon martin case. I suggested it, hence the question mark in the title. Its pretty obvious though that Zimmerman verdict could be the motivation for this violent assault when you take into account the similar killings have already taken place after the verdict. I'm pretty sure this is the case, but I didn't proclaim it in the OP or in the title.

I don't think its coincidental that this stuff started happening after the Zimmerman verdict.[/QUOTE] just stop talking tbh
[QUOTE=Kopimi;42113407] wow that sounds pretty bad good thing i never said that lmao sweeping generalizations are definitely pretty bad and black people certainly have individual motivations so... yeah? when have i said they don't?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Kopimi;42112459] its much less "uncle tom / bootlicker" territory and more "internalized racism" territory but whatever just keep rambling about "the black community" dude[/QUOTE] Wanna try again? [QUOTE=Raidyr;42113420]"Slavery wasn't that bad and not even really our fault" Holy shit we are on /pol/[/QUOTE] Putting things in my mouth, claiming that I said it was okay and that it wasn't our fault when I was saying that pinning it entirely on the white population based on the actions of not even 2 percent and people that aren't even our race is stupid. So much of this reverse racism shit is based on the idea that "It's making up for what your ancestors did" when a tiny fucking amount of our population had to do with slavery, and it wasn't just a white crime either.
[QUOTE=Bazsil;42113475]Wanna try again?[/QUOTE] "blacks generalizing other blacks is internalized racism" != "black people cant like white people"
[QUOTE=Zeke129;42113269]I hate the "canada is so good" circlejerk that exists all over the internet. We're the country most proud of its mediocrity[/QUOTE] Cheer up, it's not as bad as the one Sweden has going on :v:
[QUOTE=Raidyr;42113420]"Slavery wasn't that bad and not even really our fault" Holy shit we are on /pol/[/QUOTE] Um, no, it wasn't "our" fault, it was "their" fault, "them" being people who lived int he past and are now dead.
I kinda half agree with Komipi, just because a black commited a hate crime against a white doesnt mean he is a Martin supporter. Hell most of the people who rioted after the case dont even really care about martin, they just want a reason to riot and loot.
[QUOTE=Kopimi;42113407] sorry how does this at all influence whether or not lamars train of thought was racist or not[/QUOTE] even when someone tries to give you a bone you're an ass. I don't think he was trying to be racist. I don't think he thought about what he was saying enough, but I don't think he was trying to be racist. You do. You want to jump on someone for that. Go for it. Doesn't make you right though.
[QUOTE=Bazsil;42113475] Putting things in my mouth, claiming that I said it was okay and that it wasn't our fault[/QUOTE] I never claimed that you said it was okay, your post just does a very poor job of making slavery appear like a smaller issue than it was because you think it's been "hugely misconstrued", which is a laughable statement from a historical perspective. [QUOTE=Bazsil;42113475]when I was saying that pinning it entirely on the white population based on the actions of not even 2 percent and people that aren't even our race is stupid. So much of this reverse racism shit is based on the idea that "It's making up for what your ancestors did" when a tiny fucking amount of our population had to do with slavery, and it wasn't just a white crime either.[/QUOTE] What are you on about? nobody was talking about "reverse racism" or "making up for what our ancestors did" at all. Why are you trying to revise history to make your point?

[QUOTE=katbug;42113576]Um, no, it wasn't "our" fault, it was "their" fault, "them" being people who lived int he past and are now dead.[/QUOTE] I'm talking about countries not people. Obviously slavery isn't mine or your fault but America's history was based heavily on slavery. I say "our" because I live in the US.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;42113656]uh you seeing something as being racist kind of does hinge on how you read that so cool then? good job?[/QUOTE] what does this even mean omfg
[QUOTE=Kopimi;42113673]what does this even mean omfg[/QUOTE] you go off on some tirade on me for being "self righteous" lol all i'm trying to say is you calling everyone who says something you object to as a racist without caring what they say or want to say is kinda dumb
you guys are going to end up getting this thread locked only because you're turning it into a fucking dispute about blacks vs whites, and travyon/zimmerman bullshit put it to god damn rest, a reject assaulted people, causing severe medical injuires put him in jail, and hope to god he learns his lesson someday, and messes with someone that has a CC permit.

I don't think he meant it as a racist statement against black people.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;42113758]yeah I'm too dumb to read so I'm not going to bother reading this :)[/QUOTE] yeah how unsurprising that when someone asks you to reply with a coherent point instead of dumb personal nagging you default into cutesy joke mode. i guess its easier to just moan about how someone conducts themselves rather than try explaining why the basis of what they're saying is wrong.

Being hostile gets you so far kopimi. So far.

[QUOTE=Lamar;42113797]It wouldn't be a problem if a handful of keyboard warriors didn't come into the threads and start throwing around accusation of racism.[/QUOTE] If you don't want to be accused of racism then stop insinuating that every black on white assault is because the Black Hivemind disagrees with the Zimmerman verdict. It's dishonest reporting at best, and especially shameful since all you did during the verdict is cry about [B]the media.

You aren't adding anything to the conversation.
'you see because this guy is black and beat up a white guy that automatically means that the trayvon martin case is the catalyst!' if you genuinely think this is the case you're a drooling retard
My bad snip

Lamar's implications were not inherently racial, he mentioned attacks like this were not the norm until we started seeing revolts from the Zimmerman trial. Not once did hey call every black person a Trayvon supporter nor did he say all attacks of this nature were racially motivated. His reasoning on the cause for assault may be flawed but that does not make him a racist. Also you mentioned being able to interpret motivation earlier. While that may work in some instances you can't use that line of thinking when arguing, you either have direct proof or not, anything else is utter speculation. Lamar did not directly attack black people. As far as arguing goes, Lamar is not racist.
