Facebook Video: What racism looks like.. My ancestors owned your ass

[BeeBoop]

This is exactly what I'm talking about, pretending that the shooter had no racist intentions.


Edit: For grammar because I'm bad at it.

Why would the shooter use the word "officer" if his intention wasn't to aim at officers? Noun > Adjective. It's basic science.

He was targeting white officers. He was focusing on the adjective as well as the noun. And that's basic grammar, not science moron.

Yes, white officers. This is important. I'm sorry that you can't grasp rudimentary physics.

Ummm... alright then.

Indeed. The troll is very weak with this one. Already blocked. Would not read again...

 

[dank69]

Have people in here never been an argument before? Maybe with your husband or wife? This was a shouting match on who could say the most hurtful words.

Her comment that her ancestors "owned" your ass sounds very similar to the gaming community language.

Yes. Clearly they meant their dead ancestors pwnt a teenager from the future.

I'm just wondering whether there's any potential humour value in remaking Monty Python's "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch but with people like BeeBoop in mind, or whether it would just be plain sad.

Congratulations on being descendants of some of the worst people in our history. Slave owners ruined America. Can't imagine why anyone would be admit to such a relation.

I understand that you're being deliberately obtuse as there's no evidence that he was targeting anything other than white officers. And btw, I took 5 semesters of physics plus a semester in applied physics (mechanics) in university and we never discussed basic English grammar once; lots of math though.

Everyone, not just on these forums seems to be avoiding the elephant in the room. This argument is nothing in comparison to what the Dallas shooter did and the shooter was never referred to as a racist. How can we stop racism if nobody wants to admit that a black person can be racist too? Some people even believed the shooter to be a Marty.

You need to up your game a bit and stop sounding so ignorant really.

And learn to spell the word martyr to begin with.

With every post you slide farther backwards.

the elephant in the room seems to be that you are a racist, as most of your posts suggest.

saying that "nobody wants to admit that a black person can be racist" is beyond ignorant and typical racist BS.

What the fuck are you talking about? Everyone is universally condemning the Dallas shootings. Even Obama emphasized that the shooter would've been charged with a hate crime if they had not already shot him. What more do you want?

The topic is about the racist video posted, yet you only see reverse racism. Please go check your head.

 

[BeeBoop]

Calm down. What are you so angry for? The video posted is more like a shouting match. At least that's how I see it and obviously you feel differently.

I don't see what this has to do with anything. You said the video in this thread isn't racist when the guy was clearly yelling racist slurs. Because a black guy is also a racist in a different story doesn't have anything to do with this.

Slave owners ruined America. Can't imagine why anyone would be admit to such a relation.

Given the historical traditions / norms regarding slavery going back to the earliest people, we are ALL probably decedents of both slaves and slavers. Subjugation is simply how humans enact power and labor under simple models. You'll find forms of it all over the world today.

After all, is a person free if their labor provides no upward mobility, or only pays for the roof over their head? In some places the poor aren't treated with much human dignity either... so there are serious questions to raise, today, for how to avoid maintaining an underclass of exploited and abused people.

I don't see any racism. People say the meanest things when they are upset, doesn't mean that they're racist. Black people use the N word all the time, why can't white people?

Show me a video in which someone dies because of the color of his skin, that's real racism.

That is one of the most fucktarded things I have ever read.

 

[Exophase]

If you're going to shout hateful, hurtful things at people you don't even know, in front of a bunch of other people, then at the very least you're pretty comfortable with what you're saying and don't care about the impact it has on others, including uninvolved bystanders. If your mind quickly turns to these racist thoughts and you have no problem using them to tear someone down then yeah, you're probably pretty racist. Even if you don't really "mean" what you're saying. Not that you can really say that they didn't.

Her comment that her ancestors "owned" your ass sounds very similar to the gaming community language.

Doesn't make it any better.

 

[BeeBoop]

The gaming community does say the most hurtful and racist things possible. I've never really seen it as being racist and always thought of it as some kid trying to hurt someone's feelings for a laugh. When the girl said "owned", that's what I imagined. I was thinking that she might be a CSGO or League of Legends player.

Beebop can't figure out that racism and doucheyness aren't mutually exclusive, but there is a point to be made that neither are mutually exclusive with facts either. It could very well be that Facebook OP's ancestors owned slaves, conceivable even the asses of whoever he's talking about. That's simply historical fact.

Precisely. No non-officers were targeted.

And i was obviously referring to theoretical physics.

umm ok, you might be nuttery then our liberal trolls.

In disbelief over this post.

Encounters with people with neck tattoos rarely end well.

I should've watched the video I'm racist against people with neck tattoos my opinion might have changed.

So obvious what the real problem in America is..

So when a muslim man runs a truck into a crowd and kills 80+ people.... it is safe to say that Islam is violent and its followers are dangerous? I mean if one asshat can represent white America ....
