Who do you mean by this? Those who are outraged at Kaepernick’s actions or those who conceal their guilty conscience by being too fervent in their pro...

Yes I absolutely get that. And to stand next to him, but not imitate him. When Democrats go down on at knee in the Capital then you know the gesture h...

In a way Kaepernick put himself at the mercy of the crowd, he made himself vulnerable. That’s an action, not mere gesture. Does that seem to you to be...

No it’s not a rant. I want to look at the idea of symbolic acts and what they mean and what they achieve. This is a quote from Wikipedia; Kaepernick a...

I have no way of knowing. But you’re right, it may mean something far different to blacks. And yet I don’t see that many blacks doing it. I’m aware of...

That’s completely untrue. Publishers, writers, artists and curators use those terms to help promote their work. Women writers are promoted as addressi...

That’s a pretty sleazy sentence. And a lame answer.

No, unfortunately it’s not.

Is that really indicative of the general posts though?

I don’t if you’ve seen this. I put it up for anyone to read, including myself. https://www.nipolicingboard.org.uk/sites/nipb/files/publications/resear...

Mmmmm.

Oops we’ll pretend we didn’t see that.

You’re getting there. Keep going.

That’s untrue, . I don’t think there’s been a denial of racism, only a questioning of your position. Edit: you’re one of the few insisting that you’re...

Keep going , you’ll reveal yourself eventually.

What’s moral about that? Everything gets burned down, black property too. We’ve seen that already. No we’re getting closer to the truth.

There you go. Why take anything you say seriously?

The final argument of the left.

You’re really quite pathetic. It’s getting really tiresome.

Well put.

Well put.

So how does this work? Is it a steady decline in crime as the police force is slowly disbanded, or is it an overnight change. Does the police force go...

The antipathy towards him.

Do you mean question or threaten? Edit: I’m sorry, I realise I just don’t understand what you’re talking about.

These responses are a bit rabid. You keep labelling people in simplistic terms. If someone questions a definition they’re regarded as accessories to r...

Which is why they exist. We’re not totally stupid.

It’s ironic isn’t it, because that’s essentially what we are. We are all agents of change, we can’t help it.

What corporate executive would not be part of this? How could you function as a corporate executive and play no part in mass marketing?

What does that mean? If you’re a corporate executive I would bet you need to censor yourself all the time. In fact I would bet you hardly know who you...

Oh those pathetic women who can’t think for themselves.

I’m interested in definitions of Besorgen and Sorge and the use of “care” and “concern”. These seems to me, in spirit, more like engagement. Any thoug...

I was just going through a book that’s a guide to philosophers and their work, not one mention of Heidegger. Is it that bad? Edit: on reflection I thi...

This is nonsense too. The police are responders. How many police respond to domestic issues every day across America or any other country? How could t...

That just makes no sense. Police arrest people who are suspected of committing crimes. The courts determine the sentence. It’s the consequence of brea...

I knew that was coming.

It seems to me that the past dropped a very big problem on our doorstep. We, being the present Capitalist system, already had policies of neglect and ...

Well I would call that neglect. One might call it racism if they were inclined. However, whatever it is the result is the same, which is poverty.

This is your position then, that Capitalism created racism.

That appears to be true about school funding. But you would need to persuade me that the government consciously created that system to deprive blacks ...

“Seven of the 10 states with the highest poverty rates in the U.S. are in the South ... These areas have a long history of poverty and there are many ...

Okay. I’ll read them a bit more closely.

Is this what you’re directing me to?

That the injustice is specifically racial. But then you add but not only racial, which suggests there are injustices against blacks that aren’t racial...

This confuses me. Is it poorly written or do you mean it?

I already did.

Well I think we’re going in circles now, don’t you think?

Which part is denying reality?

I don’t think you’ll see much change. There will be changes in the police force because that’s the flashpoint. But the shops in Manhattan will claim t...

Why not remove the word racism and instead say "systemic injustice", "systemic greed", "systemic corruption"?
