University of Missouri Authorities Apprehend Suspect Behind Social Media Threats

[Martinus]

Not sure if using a clenched fist as your logo is such a great idea if you want to reach out to get more people for your cause. Especially when your opponents already stereotypise you as violent and dangerous. 

Oh the ignorance, it hurts me.

It's funny considering that a Polish athlete at the 1980s Olympics used a fist gesture to piss off the Russian hosts.

How's that comparable? So the US public is to blacks what Soviet Russia was to subjugated Poland? I am not sure I follow.

All I am saying that if one was a member of the general, white public not very well verse in the "Black culture", one could easily see this gesture as threatening.

Well good, it is supposed to be.

[Martinus]

I guess I just don't get the black culture.

They don't want white people to feel comfortable.  White people should never feel comfortable.

[Tonitrus]

Can't we all just feel comfortable? 

[garbon]

Can't we all just feel comfortable? 

No, I think that is sort of the point of all this.

[garbon]

Or rather yes it would be nice if we all could be, but we aren't there.

[Tonitrus]

Or rather yes it would be nice if we all could be, but we aren't there.

Yeah, that is my meaning...that we all get to a point where we can all be comfortable with feeling comfortable. 

But I know that will never happen until Siege's singularity thing.

[Admiral Yi]

No, I think that is sort of the point of all this.

This sort of thinking is fucked.  If one yahoo yells nigger from his pickup, everyone else shouldn't pay the price.

[The Brain]

Microaggressions put other poblems in the world into perspective, which I think is healthy.

[garbon]

If it was just one yahoo doing simply that sort of action, you wouldn't see all this.

[Admiral Yi]

If it was just one yahoo doing simply that sort of action, you wouldn't see all this.

If three people yell nigger, that makes everyone else guilty of yelling nigger?  I don't get the logic.

I don't get that logic either. I guess that might be a problem with your hypothetical.
