Why do people get annoyed at people who care about minority social issues?

Seriously? I don't even know how to respond.

I totes forgot to respond to the question-

I haven't read most of the thread but I think the issue is people have a hard time empathizing with things they don't understand. And they don't understand because they're complacent and comfortable and being confronted by major issues upsets that and makes them feel accused. And instead of recognizing the effect of their apathy they get defensive because it's easier not to care.

I don't see the problem. Keep in mind I think this whole issue is dumb.

You don't see a problem with joking about what happened in the gif or you don't see a problem with what happened in the gif? I mean either way is a low place to stoop but one's pretty significantly lower dude.

I don't see a problem with making a joke in general. Regardless of topic.

I guess that's easier to do when the threat of getting beaten up or shot by police isn't a major issue in your life...

Is it an issue for anybody in this thread?

GuD · 04-29-2015, 10:49 PM

I highly doubt it would happen to me but I find it very upsetting that it's something other people have to worry about and that so many people are as indifferent as they are.

My only beef with this thread and its 86 other off chutes is why do we keep having the same topic overand over when its obvious its not really pertinent to the majority of ppl that post here.Don't take that the wrong way Jen,its just the same type rants over and over from everyone (myself included) It becomes a snoozefest and its quite obvious that it effects only two fingers worth of posters.(Myself not included, because Im a flat chested beaner.)
