It's responses like this that make "the race thread" a big thing.
I've noticed a tread that, usually, low post count and/or reputation posters either:
a)start out the discussion trying to define subject no go zones
b)respond with theatrical or bombastic low content posts that don't tend to say much aside from how the person they're replying to shouldn't have dared to say what they did.
c)enigmatic profile, but posts heavy anecdotal observations and weighty moral judgments on the person for their idea
d)because of other peoples thoughts I'm going to make a dramatic exit
e)go to the offended poster's page. They'll likely have a history of blowing the rape whistle on race mentions without thoughtful content in return
I'd rather say my piece than just pretend I didn't see disappointing opinionating going on. The forceful blind eye being turned here because someone posters are worried their commentary will get them banned due to excited denouncement is forcefully pulling a blind eye over these topics even though you choose to discuss them.
The bottom line should be that calls for censure should only come over purposefully grandiose racial conspiracy and blatant slurring epithets.
Firstly, the Roanoke/Vester Flanagan shooting was racist, racially charged, hate crime, whatever else you want to call it that leads to race being the main cause. If someone disagrees with that, please indicate what factors make for a clearly racial case when it's black on white? Vester Flanagan had left a wide, damning trail of evidence that clearly spoke his intention. If red-handed isn't enough, then what is?
If this is scary to some people, know that acknowledging this fact doesn't mean you've enrolled yourself in a race war army for any particular side, it's just acknowledging the truth even if you don't like what it points at. I feel this needed to be said because it was rough to see most people endorse the same desperate to look anywhere else sentiment that a social justice rag endorsed
