You should read your post history before you try to lecture anyone on how to be.

Let’s continue this via PM if you really want to instead of making this a personal spat in a completely unrelated thread. Again, there’s a right way and a wrong way to communicate.

I see no reason to have a private convo. There’s a reason I very rarely engage you. I’m a fan of learning things from people. And almost everyone has something enlightening to teach me. I see nothing to gain or learn from discussion with you.

Bye.

Fine with me. Just don’t respond to my posts. Personal insults and vitriol accomplish nothing, especially since you feel like engaging in debate with me is so unproductive. Quite honestly, I don’t Understand why you insist in responding to my posts anyway.

So...

I am definitely not on board with this whole white dudes "reclaiming" the bigot word thang.

We all hear the undercurrents of that word. We all hear the moral equivalence that is implied. It's not cool. Let's reserve the bigot word for, ya know, words and actions that are similar to the image we all see when we hear that word.

No one can reclaim it as no one owns it. It can apply to people of all groups and sometimes entire groups.

I firmly stand behind my statement regardless of how you feel about it.

For the record, I’d go far harder at people represented by this picture.

If you asked 100 people to give you a synonym for the word Bigot; what do you think would be the first word out of their mouth?

You are either incredibly ignorant about the society in which you live or you just don't ****ing care.

Bigot? One word. I’d think several words.

Sexist, Racist, Homophobe...

But I just don’t really put up with BS. Especially in person.

Replace the words “republican” or “trumpet” with black, Jew, woman...in the long standing history of his posts and what do we have? In my strong opinion we have bigotry.

Now clearly the history and power dynamic between these groups and “the right”, or white males as you state, isn’t even remotely comparable. Like, at all.

But idiotic hate at its base level is idiotic hate. In this case it’s simply politically based. Both the “left” and “right” demonstrate this constantly.

So I’m neither ignorant or uncaring. Simply unwilling to remain silent forever.

you're not ignorant

I mean this in the softest possible way but if that's the argument you're making you're an *******

(Poop chute)

If you're blind to it then I can calmly say the same for you.

People always want to hate away at large groups as long as it’s “in”.

Smh

you chose the words

Sexist, Racist, Homophobe

How is anything that Thriller said to you equivalent to that?

Srsly

(This is where you should say. "Yeah it's not. I probably should have used a different word. He pisses me off but I certainly don't want to sound like a huge ******* that is unwilling to make a clear distinction between the absolutely most ugly facets of our society and a guy that I think is an *******. I should have said *******. I should have said Thriller is an orifice from which poop comes out. That would have been a much more honest way for me to express my views of him than to equate him to sexists, racists, and homophobes".)

You posed a hypothetical and I answered. Given the current climate that’s how I’d expect people to answer. Doesn’t mean I have to answer that way. To me I’d say hate.

Bigotry: intolerance towards those who hold different opinions than oneself.

To me the Thriller clearly hates “the right”. He demeans and belittles them endlessly. At its base level it’s still hate. He is adamantly intolerant of those who hold different political beliefs.

I wouldn’t call you a bigot. Far from it tbh.

It’s not what he said to me. It’s what he has said on here over and over and over.

I have made a distinction. Thriller isn’t the KKK. But I can still recognize idiotic hate when I see it.
