How do you feel about this racially tense discussion?

[Anonymous]

The following discussion was in the comment section of a video showing a white man stubbornly asking for a chicken sandwich that the predominantly black staff told him is out of stock. Audio overlay on the video calls the white man "drunk on privilege" and asserts that white people thing black people are loud.

And do I misunderstand, or did one person in this discussion suggest it is white people's turn to receive racism and discrimination? And did another person regard "fighting back" as discriminating towards white people?

Black people were sold into slavery and nice white people dying in war does not undo the slavery that happened to black people. Anybody who complains about a victims right to be upset by their victimization is aggressively ignorant and guilty of criminal harassment. The bible says when you identify with the bully, you become a supporter who helps the bully and you will be punished with the bully you believe you relate to and chose to identify with or support.

No where in the discussion did anyone say people shouldn't be upset with what happened. So unless you're suggesting "you can't oppose black peoples right to employ racism and discrimination as retribution for racism and discrimination", then it seems that your response doesn't have anything to do with what was said.

So, which is it? Does your response having nothing to do with the discussion, or do you support racism and discrimination?

Asking for compensation for victimization is not racism, it’s compensation

[Asker]

It is. It's compensation via racism. I don't know what word games you think you're trying to play, but this isn't fourth grade. Saying "racism isn't racism if it's compensation" is quite literally one of those most ridiculous attempt at mental gymnastics I've ever heard. If a black person said a racial slur at a Hispanic person, is it not racism if the Hispanic person responds by calling the black person the N word? According to you logic, the Hispanic person did not partake in racism.

For what it's worth, I agree with you and I do wish we could work together to move torwards creating a better society for all of us.

[Asker]

I'm glad to hear it. I agree. It's really disappointing to think coexistence, happiness, and prosperity is being inhibited by this sort of rationale and hatred.

Doesn't help that MSM continuously stirs the pot and perpetuates false narratives

[DarkLegacy]

Lol could you get any more pathetic

[Asker]

What a valid and convincing form of criticism. It's become clear to me that I'm in the wrong.

[DarkLegacy]

im not aiming it at all

[Asker]

Nor are you coming up with and valid points or counter arguments. I presumed we were both adults here.
