I'm just some random person. And this is just my opinion.

We treat history in schools so we don't repeat it. My opinion is that you educate about institutional racism that is known to have existed. There are tangible historical facts related to unacceptable actions of the past.

But there is zero reason privilege should ever be "taught". Privilege is such a moving target without the tangibles. If history is taught, and we learn from history, the message should be that everybody should just be treated the same. Period. No reason to getting into motives and emotions which will drive students, classes, society apart.
Good lord.
 
Good lord.
Why does that offend you so?

Once we start singling out one group of people, we start a slippery slope. Why not just address the known, tangible mistakes of our government and leaders and not get into the emotions of it all? I think all it does is divide.
 
That's not what I meant and you know it. Don't be that guy please. This is a serious conversation.
You literally said that the only thing that should be taught about racism is that groups of people were mistreated and it's from the native Americans to the Muslims at 9/11. You seem to think racism is just people being mean to each other. Should serious conversations not be taken literally or do I have to just assume you arent a moron with every word I read and post edit so things actually make sense.

Like should we not teach the massive amount of economic impact of slavery (and yes, slavery still exist, it's called the prison-industrial complex and it still disproportionally affects minorities due to the position systematic racism has put them in) and how much wealth that created for whites in this country, which still has massive massive impacts on equality? because that certainly ties into privilege, which by your standards is a no-no to be taught in school. You seem to think we should neuter the truth just so people can be homogeneous? That the only thing that should be taught is "be cool to each other and everything will be cool"?

The idea that I'm a radical left-winger is ridiculous lmao. I'm still overall pro-capitalist.
Never know with you blue haired freeks now a days, you could be burning down a city in the name of Communism, or sucker punching old people as they walk down the street. I try to keep my state clean from the trash.

Yeah, I understand. You have Republican Brain. It's hard for you to understand things that have any nuance and challenge your world view.
 
@Jason

This is why grown up websites don't allow off topic political discussion in places where it doesn't belong.

If you let this go on long enough one side will win and the other side will go away and you'll have half the active posters on your site and probably 25% of the inactive readers you currently have.

Grown up websites that are operated for profit know this.

Hobby websites eventually die.

I've never seen a poster **** on a mod team and website, like this guy did right here.

"Grown up websites" "Half the posters will leave" "Hobby website"

What a self entitled prick. If you want to contribute to Jazz related discussion, then add something Jazz related. No need to post in the forum crying, send them a PM you baby.
 
It was enjoyable for me as the playoff kicked off to be interacting with a bunch of people in the Jazz section that I didn't get along with all that well in the off topic section. We came together as Jazz fans and celebrated our team together.

To keep that going I suggested a hard rule of no unsolicited political talk in the game threads. It was deemed that existing rules covered this well enough.

This isn't a game thread but I think we can see here what happens when GD disputes spill over to the Jazz section.

It isn't about controlling or limiting expression. It's about a topic section being limited to discussion about that topic. It's the way ALL grown up forums operate in 2021.

Go anywhere else beside 4chan or yahoo comments section and tell me I'm wrong.

Don't let this be jazzchan.com

Once again, you are assuming without really thinking about what I said.

Teach it. Teach all the facts. I'm fine with that. As for moron name calling, only a moron would not understand what I said when I said "teach everything from Native Americans THROUGH to the Muslims in 9/11". That means slavery. That means the Civil Rights Movement. That means everything from explorers until now with regards to US history.

Just do away with the privilege conversations. It's a changing narrative and it's not tangible. Privilege exists in all shapes colors and sizes. It's just a dividing topic when we live in a world with more and more and more to get upset about. Teach what the country did right and what the country did wrong. Embrace the good and make sure the bad doesn't happen again.
 
Can’t decide if I should put @Hax0rs on ignore or not. People like DutchJazzer at least brought some solid humor to their idiocy. @Hax0rs is just a ****ing moron and it’s sort of tough to stomach, like any Trumptard who’s dumb enough to buy his ****.
