I've come to find, especially in today's "cancel culture", that the most racist people are the ones who simply judge and declare others to be so without further discussion or evidence.

I hope UT keeps standing up to these hit jobs and the whining mob. This is ridiculous

The problem is UT is in Austin, which is a blight on TX.

I agree but one of the quotes they included definitely made them seem racist.

The stupid thing (*most* stupid thing) about this and other cancellations, is that the meaning ALREADY WAS CHANGED!

Cancel-culture is idiotic. Yes, "idiotic".

I agree with your point & humor — but don't give in to their attempt

Just saying it how they see it. Not that I agree. We need to stop

Thank you. People need to reject the premise of this madness immediately and not

Just to make sure I understand you correctly, you think if people have emotional feelings about something

RealMadridCougar

3/3/21 8:00am

We should listen and have compassion, yes. Do what they want? Well that's

How can society function when anyone's feelings about anything can change how we do things?

RealMadridCougar

3/3/21 8:16am

The same way it has for millenia

deljdc

3/3/21 8:25am

If you think that for a Millenia society changed based on anyone's feelings I don't know what to tell you. The very fact

RealMadridCougar

You really like to argue, don't you?

It's a discussion using arguments, yes. But it's not an argument.

It's not emotional. I care about liberty and American/western values.

The fact you won't respond to any replies is somewhat concerning by itself.

Apply race ratios to all sports. Asians, Latinos, all of whom suffered slavery

Go look at his posting history. There's a pattern there

BYUMizzou

The dumbest thing is that slavery is not racist. Racism came later.

Not exactly sure this is relevant to the United States.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/3/21 7:48am

You can tell that you didn't actually watch the video that he posted. Why would you comment on it when you clearly

RealMadridCougar

Nothing there is news to me. Tell me why that makes a difference in discussing

StalwartBraveTrue

3/3/21 8:16am

These types of conversations always reference back to slavery. That is the reference point for all of it

RealMadridCougar

3/3/21 8:18am

Slavery in America yes. Not slavery in ancient Kiev.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/3/21 8:30am

Ok, did you see what I put above about how the slave trade in America worked?

RealMadridCougar

3/3/21 8:48am

Yes. The conversation isn’t about the African continental origins of slavery.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/3/21 9:12am

Lol, nice cognitive dissidence. Forget how the slaves got here in the first place and what color of skin the people had

RealMadridCougar

3/3/21 9:41am

I don’t think that term means what you think it means.

Did you see the part how the US (& Western Civ) ended slavery as acceptable but

ImuaKahuku

3/3/21 12:26pm

No one is arguing that. What is your point in mentioning that?

To answer you question "what do we do about it" I am with T.S., stop worrying

ImuaKahuku

3/3/21 12:42pm

So ignore it and it’ll go away? That hasn’t really worked throughout history.

StalwartBraveTrue

It's not about ignoring it. It's about not tainting everything with color. Stop
