    Your comment show just how immature you are. No adult "knock you ass out" over words.

    I don't think you could knock anymore out without a baseball bat. Definitely shows exactly whi you are

    Yep. Your skin color is your team. That’s what I thought.

    Its been pointed out by people smarter than me how obsessed MAGA is with playing the victim. They seek it out and manipulate events to that end.

    It would not surprise me if the MAGAt got exactly the outcome he was hoping for.

    I don't think Edwardc is a bad dude. He's just misguided. Reeko is a shithead. Edward isn't that.

    Well they are both racist. They admit to being “team black” before anything else. They were even saying that black people shouldn’t protest, and stay safe, but that other races could keep protesting and risk their lives.

    That’s racism. No way around it. Low IQ folks on here call me “bigot” but I would never ever say anything so obviously racist or bigoted as that. “Go ahead and keep protesting but let’s keep black people safe”. **** that noise. It’s also anti-American.

    They said nothing about other races. So, really, this is you taking exception to them saying black people shouldn’t “risk their lives” by protesting on behalf of immigrants.

    That is, you think black people shouldn’t be expressing any opinions on how black people in general should behave for their own welfare, presumably because you think having any sort of extra fraternal connection to others based on race is “racist” and therefore deserving of scorn.

    It’s interesting how different people conceive of what “racism” means and what it doesn’t mean.

    Yep. Pull out the black people so they stay safe but everyone else keep protesting and be in danger is definitely racist.

    Fraternal connection based merely on skin color is racist, indeed. Especially if it’s at the exclusion of others for their skin color.

    and it’s foolish

    I have not seen 'team black" but if they said that then they're both racist. I know what Reeko is but Edward sounded rational. There's no excuse for that's disappointing.

    I've seen them say that and it's ignorant (and I could say a lot more)
    O know you're not. Reeko is a racist. Deb is too. I only give her a pass because she served the country and I don't know what she went through

    Sometimes race is a signifier of other shared experiences that make it more salient than mere skin color. If that feeling of kinship is based only on skin color and nothing else, and it also leads to exclusionary behavior again based only on skin color, then I think the racism charge is easier to understand.

    For example, hypothetically, if white people in some neighborhood are being targets of crime on the basis of their skin color, I wouldn’t call them racist for looking out for one another’s safety. It’s natural and fine to feel a bond with others when you are part of a group that is being targeted or discriminated against.

    Except that no group is targeted or discriminated against. That’s fantasy. That’s an excuse in 2026. Nobody is oppressed because of their skin color. That’s what you are failing to grasp.

    But I think you do grasp it

    Based on the number of responses I see (or don’t see) per page, this protest really got under the skin of the resident cultists.

    I’m just trying to pinpoint where our intuitions and views on this topic might diverge.

    It sounds like we agree that if a racial group was really experiencing discrimination in a society then it wouldn’t be racist for people in that group to feel a common bond and want to look out for each other to protect themselves against it.

    It sounds like we agree that there is no group facing the kind of discrimination in this country that would excuse their racist behavior aimed at any other group.

    and there hasn’t been for quite some time.

    LOL, I thought the same thing.

    It probably makes those minority of Trump cultists unhinged to see millions more Americans protesting against Trump every time they hold those protests. They just don't get it. They just can't believe Americans aren't happy with the guy who has screwed us in more ways people could fit on their cardboard signs.

    Racist behavior aimed at other groups is never really excusable, so yes I’d agree with that. I just don’t see that happening in this thread with the posters you were labeling as racist.

    If I say “black people shouldn’t put themselves at further risk with law enforcement and should sit this one out”, how is that hurting non-black people in any way?

    Can’t say “white people should sit this one out”.

    If safety is the concern, it should be for everyone not just people of a certain color.
