| Scale matters. I'm not literally saying this is the only problem that needs attention, but it is a huge problem that gets almost no attention. I've never seen BLM or mainstream media talking about it. ... a few minutes on Google... http://abcnews.go.com/US/obama-murder-rate-african-american-communi... |

| But whatever. Clearly there are very few people here interested in having a real discussion about the facts surrounding these issues, and you are not one of them. I'm beginning to lose interest in this myself. I see it more as people being interested in the subject but being incapable of leaving th... |

| I believe you essentially made two points: - You think the way that some other people use the words "racism", "racist", and related terms are incorrect because they disagree with the definition Google gives. Not Google, pretty much any official dictionary of the English language... |

| Talking about police racism as if it's some huge issue, when it is actually microscopic, is taking away attention from the massive number of black people being killed all the time. Stop with the white guilt and the condescending racism and the virtue signaling, and start actually caring about the l... |

| I bet none of the people who are disagreeing with me have any idea what my argument actually is. Seriously, if someone here who disagrees with me can even accurately summarize what I'm saying, I will be extremely shocked. I challenge anyone who doesn't like what I'm saying to simply write a short po... |

| This is a hard one. I'm not attracted to men, either---so I wouldn't want to have a relationship with a person who's gone from women to man. Does she have still have feelings for you? I would say, in the short term, that the best arrangement might be for her to remain in your place, cleaning up and... |

| I'll try not to be too wordy. I first "met" my girlfriend on here a couple years ago, and she is also an aspie, though she is less functional than I am. She has been living with me for almost a year. Basically, I'm the one with income, I pay the rent etc., and in return she keeps the apart... |

| I hardly know why any of us try to argue with you, as if you can be helped to recognize the error of you ideas. You have yet to point out any error. The only thing you have pointed out, over and over, is the fact that I'm white, and your belief that white cops are racist, and that I'm racist. You h... |

| Well now you know that this is not my intent, so I'd appreciate it very much if you stopped insinuating that I believe crazy things which I never said, like that all blacks have genetic criminality. The crime is due in high part to the disintegration of black families, which leads to a vicious cycl... |

| I really wish some black person, or somebody of a different race than "white," can come to this thread, and give his/her perspective. That would be really interesting. Why? What's wrong with the opinions of white people? Honestly, people need to stop falling into this idea that a black pe... |

| The racists on this forum don't really care about understanding black anger over police violence, they just want to be able to dismiss it. They don't care about black on black violence or understanding how we got here. The only racist views I've seen on WP (aside from swiftly banned trolls) have be... |
