Worked for CHAZ
Not my video, i dont endorse its content. I just found it funny.Good retort, dont identify you just shared a video that compared finding a cure for a condition to finding a cure for a racism.

Ok you didnt find it funny, and thats fine.Oh, of course. Its not as bad if you share the disrespectful stuff around. I forgot that gives you a free pass.

You make me ashamed to be a lions supporter.Empathy and critical thinking can be difficult things to grasp, I agree.
I'll listen. What's your idea of a middle ground?Really, I want people of all races and political opinions to find a middle ground. We’re all people and I hate all of this stupid s**t that’s going on with looting. I hate that good cops are being conflated with racists along with genuinely peaceful protests.
But how the hell do you find common ground when arguments consist of
1. We need to defund the police.
2. if you don’t agree you’re racist.
It’s so hard to have a conversation in good faith.

I don't disagree with that at all.Really, I want people of all races and political opinions to find a middle ground. We’re all people and I hate all of this stupid s**t that’s going on with looting. I hate that good cops are being conflated with racists along with genuinely peaceful protests.

Hey guys, when I said that, it was more a pointed comment of frustration at the current political arena, and not a go at any of you specifically.I'll listen. What's your idea of a middle ground?
I don't see how you can find a 'middle ground' without addressing racial inequality.
It's our approach man.So if we cant fix it why even try.
It's our approach man.
If we victimise the people who keep us safe it perpetuates this distrust and then more crime.
If we sell this narrative on a broad scale, what the hell is it going to do?
The people committing the crime will be galvanised, hell, even amused.
They're not going to stop selling heroin and terrorising the locals.
Fixing this takes generations. but we can if we start acknowledging the problem on both sides.
Asian Americans were put in internment camps during WW2 - and you can bet that they dealt with a crap ton of racism.
But they have a culture of conscientious work and diligence. Almost bordering on unrealistic expectations of their children.
They are now the richest racial group in America irrespective of the fact they faced racism and the fact they were immigrants.
True, it's not an exact comparison. But its something.
I take it you dont believe in evolution then? Change for survival? We have evolved past just survival of the fittest. Thats why we have warnings like "DONT OPEN THIS DOOR IN FLIGHT".
Sorry mate, I don't really understand why you make that assertion? Or where you're going with this of thinking at all?
Can you explain what made you say that?
What part of my suggestion says that people shouldn't change for the better?
Are you suggesting that what is going on is evolution?
We make changes in society that makes everyones life better. Thats why we stopped slavery. Thats why we have laws. Thats why we punish transgressions. Thats why we dont accept things our ancestors would find acceptable. Thats why we learn, acknowledge and grow and its why society is where it is right now.
Agreed... But you're arguing against a point I haven't made? (I hate the term "strawman")
Where have I said that we shouldn't change...? That would be a silly point to make.
I just think the change shouldn't be rioting, looting local business, creating independent states and demonising the police as if the issue isn't a little bit more nuanced? I made the point that change should be black culture and less heavy handed police?
A lot of white people fought a bloke named Hitler.
There were riots (kristallnacht) which I'm sure they thought was a good idea at the time - but were morally reprehensible?.
BLM decided it would be a good idea to deface the statue of Winston Churchill, who was the one man who halted Hilter's progress in Europe.
If it wasn't for him, Hilter would have made England a vassal state, America would have lost the staging point to invade France and there would have been one front for Hilter to fight on.
He would have defeated the Soviets and then made his way down northern Africa and butchered every black person he saw.
That was not a positive change.
But BLM defaced the state of they guy who pushed back against white supremacy... I think there's a lot of silliness going on man.
