@RealRenegade313 @EBTtok It's not bs. I genuinely just want to know what you specifically meant when saying "benefit" and "will not relinquish your heritage", in order to help better understand your perspective, and the foundation of where this is all coming from.

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

What do you mean by benefit and not relinquishing heritage? Because this really feels like a scenario of damned if you do, damned if you don't, then.

By saying that all white people still benefit in some way from slavery over 160 years ago, you are also saying that they can't have a choice or say, in whatever ways that benefits them today. How is that fair exactly?

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

Since you brought up slavery. White people, specifically white Republicans actually, died fighting for the rights and freedoms of black sales, and for abolishing slavery altogether, as one of primary causes behind the civil war. Does that not anything here?

Many North African tribes owned white people as slaves throughout the 16th-19th century too, BY THE WAY. So it's not like if you went back in history, and reversed the roles, suddenly slavery would have never happened in America. I am very inclined to believe, that if the conditions were the same, blacks would absolutely have owned white slaves, and it would most likely have been even more inhumane, and more widespread or systematic too, if the roles were reversed, due to a different cultural heritage or upbringing (white British culture vs African culture). Which we know white enslavement literally happened many times in North Africa and other parts of the world.

White people of today have nothing to do with the slavery that took place over 150-160 years ago. They were never there for it, they were never apart of it, they have no experience of it, and they don't know what it was like to own a slave. You can't keep forcing a whole race to continue to feel bad something about that happened that happened 150-160 years ago, especially over something that they were never apart of or there for. Eventually, that buck/tribalistic feelings/thoughts, have to give, especially if you want any chance of a future that isn't racially divided. Sad I have to explain to you what being reasonable, and decent human being is like, but here we are.

If those feelings can't give, for whatever reason, then how can you possible expect the same decency or common courtesy in return? Nobody owes you any kind of retribution for what happened 160 years ago, because nobody alive today was apart of it. You are not special or entitles to anything just because of something that happened over 160 years ago, you are just like anybody else in the modern world. You can do just this, and still celebrate or maintain your unique cultural heritage and traditions. It really can be that easy.

If you want to go deeper into this topic, we can go deeper. That's not difficult at all for me to understand actually. Republicans and Democrats are just definitely just controlled opposition of each other in the grand scheme of things. And nothing meaningful will change when either of them still in power. The elites and businesses want us fighting race/culture wars, to distract us from fighting class wars and how they should be paying more taxes, yes. I've known all that for years, don't worry.

But ultimately, people's safety come first, no matter what your skin color is, and that needs to be addressed. Can I ask, where is this all hate or negativity towards white people coming from? Obviously, I am not black, so I can't truly ever understand. But from my perspective, the increasingly negative pushback after you're seeing is not from an inherent hatred or dislike towards black people, it is from a direct response to this case and others like it, out of fear and for their own personal safety. Which is why this needs to be addressed, quickly, for the safety and prosperity of both black and white people.

We can't keep doing this man. The vast, vast, vast majority of white people don't want black people to fail or become separated. They want peaceful co-existence, friendship and harmony, as if skin color doesn't matter. If you don't agree with that, then I believe that is the lie about white people, that you've fallen for unfortunately. If the vast majority of black people truly want this peaceful co-existence as well, then they need to start coming forward and publicly denouncing such racially motivated killings, and now, before things spiral further. Instead, you have people like Jasmine Crockett, defending Karmelo Anthony, and pushing further racial division, and also there's a large wave of silence or silent agreement about it from black people in general, is what's truly damning here. So denouncing it, would be the very good start to such a peaceful, co-existence future in my opinion.

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

There it is. As expected, we're now pivoting to "the statistics and independent reviews are wrong actually". That's why I specifically gave you statistics for both under a Republican lead government, and under a Democratic lead government! And the independent reviews as well! But even after all that, you still deny that black people commit more violent crimes per capita, that white people? Especially men? And without offering any counter-evidence? Really?

@RealRenegade313 @EBTtok Not bs, if you want the statistics or evidence, just ask. So you can't exactly flip the script here, unless you have your own evidence? Reason I am emphasizing per capita, is because black people make up around 14 percent of the total population, white people are 58-62 percent.

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

@RealRenegade313 @EBTtok Why aren't you denouncing such unnecessary hostility and threats of violence towards white people? Instead you want to purposely perpetrate a lie about white people. White people do not commit more crimes per capita, black men do, and at a substantially higher rate too.

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

@RupertLowe10 No, just deporting him is too soft of a punishment. We need the old ways back for these types of horrific atrocities, in order to send a clear message and deter any future rapes or crimes from happening. Also, Pakistan would just welcome him back with open arms anyway.

@Grummz It's so crazy seeing how fast general audiences are going through re-alignment, when you've already seen that writing on the wall for video games since 2018. Like, where tf were y'all at 3-5 years ago during peak woke?

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

@Lancaster_1899 @Grummz People who call others incels, are usually the biggest one themselves when it comes to loser behavior.

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

@Grummz Where are they finding these execs at? I'd think a random homeless man would be able to pitch more profitable ideas than a Metaverse executive at this point.

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

@BasedObviously @netflix "Oi, you got a loicense for being that pretty miss? No? Then that's -500 social credit points for you."

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

@Grummz That's fine, but I'm not saying "Fair's fair" nor am I convinced/optimistic about the new CEO until I see some actual good results/changes from her at Xbox. You can fool me once with Phil Spencer, but not twice.

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

@Memetic_Hazard_ @XboxP3 The reason he got cut is because Phil kept under delivering on his promises. Phil is a good guy, but he's not the leader that Xbox needs now. Xbox needs someone who isn't afraid to run a tight ship, and clean up Xbox's adult daycare centres, otherwise known as Xbox Game Studios.

@Kotaku Seeing this once in a generation headline coming from Kotaku must have been what it felt like for the first human to discover fire and how to use it.

@sebtwitchturbo @Knights_Path @p5q9r8wnk @man0m4n Game actually looks amazing for an indie. Go buy 10 copies of Dragon Age The Veilguard, drink some Soylent, and cry about it somewhere else please.

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

@senpire_ @Knights_Path I assume you're asking in good faith? So why are you insinuating beautiful characters can't also have beautiful/interesting personalities? Just because a character is conventionally attractive, doesn't mean her/his personality will be a one-dimensional stereotype. Come on now.

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

@war_alex101 Doing a research project which uses data of congressional elections. I'm all set for 1804 and onwards, just need some more data from 1788-1800. I've DM'ed you more info about it if you'd like to take a look. But please, don't feel obligated to help me! It's no worries at all!

[TheRetroBaron @GoMaterialistic]

@war_alex101 Hey! Did you get a copy of this book? I've been looking everywhere for this book with no luck. The only option to buy is very, very expensive (500+ USD)
