@thewatcherx88 @lauren_w67 The context is simple. Crying about history you never lived through and pretending you’re affected by it with zero evidence is not evidence for why your life isn’t as prosperous as you want it to be.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@d51169109 @lauren_w67 That’s not how statistics work. If you do that, every group in history becomes responsible for the worst actions of governments people today had nothing to do with. Use present data or the argument falls apart.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@Somethingabtz @d51169109 @mlasp72 @lauren_w67 That’s not an argument, it’s just a claim.

If you’re saying discrimination exists today, point to a specific law, policy, or institution and explain how it functions. Otherwise you’re talking in generalities, not evidence.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@d51169109 @lauren_w67 We’re talking about current crime patterns, not adding up every crime committed over 400 years. By that logic, every majority population in history would lead the stats. That’s not how statistics work.

@sauce_money69 @lauren_w67 If all you’ve got is “idiot,” I’ll take that as a concession.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@Free_soupie @lauren_w67 If that’s the best counterargument you’ve got, I think you’ve made my point for me.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@thewatcherx88 @lauren_w67 Calling someone an idiot doesn’t make you right. If you actually understand cause and effect, then make the argument instead of hiding behind insults.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@Ferdsunlucky13 @lauren_w67 The fact that prejudice can be passed down doesn’t prove it’s the reason for every modern disparity. You can’t just assume an invisible network of inherited racism is responsible for someone’s circumstances while ignoring the role of individual choices and personal responsibility

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@Somethingabtz @d51169109 @mlasp72 @lauren_w67 The Three-Fifths Compromise was abolished in 1865. If you have to reach back 160 years for evidence of current systemic oppression, you’re arguing history, not present-day law.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@d51169109 @mlasp72 @lauren_w67 After the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, and the end of legal redlining, there were no longer laws explicitly preventing Black Americans from advancing. In fact, many indicators of Black family and economic stability were stronger in the 1960s and 1970s than they are today.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@d51169109 @lauren_w67 No, that’s not what I said. I said systemic racism isn’t what it was decades ago, not that racism no longer exists. Individual racism can come from anyone, regardless of race. Pretending only one group can be racist is its own form of bias.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@d51169109 @lauren_w67 If we’re talking about statistics instead of anecdotes, interracial homicide data generally show black offenders kill white victims more often than white offenders kill black victims. One horrific case doesn’t establish the overall pattern.

@Magixx212 @l_se0m Epileptic seizure or some other underlying health condition.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@d51169109 @lauren_w67 It doesn’t, at least not to the extent it once did, especially regarding systemic racism. Individual racists still exist, and I’m not denying that. However, today, open racial hostility is often directed more toward white people than the other way around.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@mlasp72 @lauren_w67 That’s moving the goalposts. Saying slavery had lasting effects is not the same as saying America was founded on the servitude of a race. Slavery was part of our history, but the country’s founding principles were self-government and individual rights, not racial servitude.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@ktbarthedoors @LASHYBILLS Yes you’re a fucking lunatic that needs to be investigated if you believe such a small dispute deserves death. Doesn’t matter if you’re a resident, you have zero right to commit violence against someone for simply using a lake they shouldn’t be using.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@PinosPress @shairnn @NiRiF3R I literally didn’t. This entire conversation isn’t about “being treated well,” it’s about receiving affection and attention. Last I checked, not receiving affection and attention doesn’t automatically mean you’re being treated poorly. Accountability truly is a woman’s kryptonite.

[Ataly @AtalyJD]

@PinosPress @shairnn @NiRiF3R Did I say that? No. I said, once again, women blame men for why they don’t receive this type of affection and attention when, in reality, the women who don’t receive this type of affection and attention are often the reason they don’t receive it. Keep up. Your insults are weak.
