"asking why people like me respond the way i do to these issues", and I wrote "**** happens". It's pretty self explanatory with what I was going for in my first post. If you didn't pick up on it, I was saying that I don't understand the point in getting all riled up in these issues when in probably a week or two, there will probably be another issue picking up the same amount of attention. Why waste energy on putting any concern into an issue that has already happened? It's not like it's somehow going to take us back in time to stop the issues from happening, is it?

I'm not sure how anyone could infer that much from your original post.

The second part came from what I wanted to say at the moment that you responded. The first part of my post was what I was going for with my first post.

Also, imo when it comes to racial minority issues, white people tend to not want to admit when their race is at fault and are oblvious to the whole institutionalized systematic racism that plagues minorities today. The law enfrocement/police is all apart of that. I think a part of the reason why they are oblivious is because they don't experience racism on the same level as minorities. They dont have to worry about being racially profiled or being held back from their raise because of the color of their skin because they are born with white privilege.
the bolded text highlights one of the reasons why you run into hostile responses. you think about "race" like it's one single entity. like white people collectively share the guilt and actions of the white race. as if we were a colony of ants. people don't work that way.

It's because of discussions like these that things have gotten to where they are today. If that's not a justification for having them I don't know what is because obviously things are still pretty ****ed up. I'm too tired to follow what's going on in this thread right now.

So you're saying if more people discussed this stuff on online forums, the issues would just go away?

Don't worry, Soulflower will find some way to blame it on you.
