@Pitchside_CF That’s absurd. If she’s your best friend and he’s a good guy that you don’t want to be in a relationship with and she does, why wouldn’t you want her to be with him?
@monetdeandre79@barry100CA This is conjecture. HBCUs received threats, but the FBI called them “hoax threat calls” with “no information to indicate a credible threat.” No link was found to Kirk’s killing. He takes a real event, adds an unproven narrative, and you accept it because it confirms your beliefs.
@monetdeandre79@barry100CA You’re intellectually unserious. You misquote, ignore context, make unsupported claims, then attack my Blackness when challenged. You don’t follow evidence to conclusions; you start with a conclusion and reject anything that threatens it. That isn’t critical thinking. It’s dogma.
@monetdeandre79@barry100CA You’re doing it again. You keep isolating “I hope he’s qualified” from the argument around it. His point was that race-conscious hiring creates doubt about whether race influenced selection among qualified candidates. Call that racist if you want, but you still haven’t refuted it
@monetdeandre79@barry100CA Wait, what? First, I don’t want to be your friend. We’re having a discussion. Second, you still haven’t refuted a single factual point I’ve made. You just keep changing the subject whenever the evidence doesn’t support you.
@monetdeandre79@barry100CA Plenty of Black people support him Brandon Tatum, Candace Owens, and many others. That’s exactly why your claims are ignorant. The evidence conflicts with what you already believe, so instead of revising your belief, you simply refuse to accept the evidence right in front of you.
@monetdeandre79@barry100CA And there it is. My argument didn’t change. The only thing that changed was you learned I’m Black, so now you attack my racial authenticity instead of my argument. That speaks for itself.
@monetdeandre79@barry100CA I’m Black, actually. But that shouldn’t matter. Whether my argument is right or wrong has nothing to do with my race. Address the argument. Or does disagreeing with you now make me an Uncle Tom too?
@monetdeandre79@barry100CA In the full video, he explicitly condemned racism. His point was that it’s overstated as a pressing issue in America today, not that historical racism was a “nonissue.” Disagree with him, but represent his argument accurately. https://t.co/cQnRjxmhQD
@monetdeandre79@barry100CA Then explain his argument about DEI and merit. You keep repeating the quote, but you haven’t addressed the reasoning he gave for it. What did he say he meant?
@monetdeandre79@barry100CA I’m not gaslighting you. You’re assigning a meaning to his words while ignoring the argument he gave around them. “More qualified” enters the picture because his entire point was whether race influenced selection among qualified candidates. That’s the context you keep leaving out
@monetdeandre79@barry100CA That’s not moving the goalpost. If you actually listen to his entire argument instead of one sentence, that’s exactly what he’s articulating. You’re arguing with the quote while ignoring his explanation of what he meant.
