Essentially, there was a thing posted on a facebook page that said: "Calling the cops on POC is admitting that you think the crime they committed is worthy of immediate execution. Accept the reality of police violence before you dial the phone." So I commented the obvious flaws I saw with it, that you can't act like poc are exempt from obeying the law because of their skin color.
And now I'm a horrible whitey who doesn't sympathize with poor people for stealing things like food and thinks poc should die for it? Even though I said the problem isn't the police, it's racism and lack of opportunity from the state or charity in local areas, and that stealing food or necessities is different from someone robbing a store or making off with valuable things, or committing more violent crimes or threats? Like yeah dummy I'm gonna call the cops.
I wasn't ignoring that police brutality exists, it's just that no one should be exempt from the law for any reason INCLUDING the police? Like, wow, it's almost as if I have a brain in my head to determine things situationally instead of grouping everything categorically into a pile. There are multiple solutions here but ignoring crime is definitely not one of them.

Also that would be assuming that EVERY time the police get called on poc they ALWAYS endure brutality which simply isn't the truth.

I doubt it but I also don't care too much. I just blocked and moved on. I've had so much thrown at me this month lately I'm at the point of going, "Oh look, more garbage." and trying not to pay attention if it won't matter in the long run. I'm just tryina get through day to day and not be so stressed i die fam. Plus dying is expensive and I'm poor. Can't afford that. XD Yeah. They were pretty rude to me on the original forums, too. Always trying to find reasons why I'm wrong about stuff. and I'm like, "back off! I'm never wrong! I do research... sometimes... when I feel like it!"

You know, I found my least favorite group of people ever. (no offence if you are in said group it's just my experience with them is absolutely horrible.) Language arts teachers. they are usually the most obnoxious people out there imo.

I got called racist pretty much for saying rap music tends to be vulgar. They just tend to be the extremist Democrats that become teachers. *Cough cough* college professors *cough cough*

See, I think that both sides have issues. I don't support a political candidate because they are Republican or Democrat, I go off of whether or not they support my political views. I do tend to lean towards the Republican side more often than not, but just because I preferred Trump over Hillary doesn't mean I approve everything he does. I don't think the wall is necessary, but he has done some good things, like work with companies to create a cheaper alternative for our fighter jets and he didn't waste money on a completely new air Force one. They spend millions of dollars every four to eight years on new planned for air Force one. Trump acknowledged that and put a stop to it. He also is respectful, yet firm when it comes to diplomatic relations with middle eastern governments. I don't have anything against people who preferred Hillary, just as long as they don't try to tell me I'm wrong for what I believe in, which people have tried to do before. I like to debate stuff, as long as it is in a dignified manner and both parties can walk away without wanting to strangle the other.

I'm not going on OTD except for the pagan thread and here since those are known safe threads. Probably gonna be that way for a while.

I basically just ran through the house screaming and waving my hands around/tearing through my hair and clothes to double check xD Also dropped my phone on the way in because of it, so it's got a new crack in the case, whoopee.
