City after city seems to be the same thing happening...peaceful rallies early and people notice the crowd changing...others coming in as the first crowd leaves and that is when things get violent. Ive seen ads from multiple cities calling for people to show up to the later parts of these things...its organized and it isn't all just one group.Biff84 said:
Sorry that was the first thing that came up?
Maybe I’m assuming (and my fault if the assumption is incorrect) but that response reads to be a direst response to the video of the the shopkeepers getting beat (not about the protests or other violence).
Did you read my post? The very first definition of subhuman is “less than human”. That’s my opinion. I don’t need to go to Wikipedia when the standard definition works fine.
Oh, I know what their motives are. Just like I know what CNN is doing when they go around the country reporting on random cities that reopened and are struggling to deal with coronavirus. I try to watch both sides to at least get a feel for what they're saying. Normally, I can't stand Fox News for more than a few minutes. But now I can't stand CNN either.
Sure it does, but having a reasonable dialog is easier when there are simple alternatives to certain words.
More misinformation from you....here is the actual definition without your attempt to make racist insults to other posters.
Just curious, and you don’t have to reply obviously, but why the need to defend these people?
Like I said originally, if you wanna defend using that term, have at it.

I’m not defending them. At all.
You are arguing about whether or not people that are running around setting fires should be called nicer words and skipping past main definitions to quote other uses.
Like I said, if you wanna use the same term the Nazis creates to describe the Jews, that’s up to you.
I don’t need to go through the gymnastics you are using to innaccurately called people racist.
Either you don’t know what originated means or I need to brush up on my history timeline.
The protests weren’t what was being discussed in that specific post. A man/woman getting beaten while trying to defend their business from looters was. Also, I never disputed large numbers of peaceful protests occurring.
Sorry but posts like this areand do nothing but contribute to the problem.
i will call it out wherever i see it. so since you sound very focused on solving problems what are you actively doing to prevent more injustices from occurring?
English Language Learners Definition of subhuman
Your lack of self awareness then is quite worrisome. You have used false “definitions” from Wikipedia to try to justify inaccurate claims of racism. It’s obvious to everyone and very sad to see in here.
That is good to hear. Its sad there is more focus on that than the root cause of the incident that led us here.
Wait, you think “calling out” people on a football message board behind your alias is solving anything? Enough to where you are telling other posters they are part of the problem? I would disagree.
Military tactics? I wish he would elaborate. Is he implying this is real life Call of Duty or something. Hmm, we need to use the words we mean. The best words.
I’m asking what their thoughts are? Do they have solutions, do they see where the issue lies?
Well i have heard a few acknowledge that the issues are systemic. some who are current police others who arent. I would agree. I do agree that the issue is more systemic than the police. I dont think most police actively go to work with the goal of being racist and killing blacks. But they do participate within a system that contributes to this happening. Acknowledgement is a start. Doesn't sound like we are fully there yet however.
That picture is actually what I’m getting at. Everyone is pissed off, and rightfully so. But very few have provided any type of solutions. Simply saying, don’t be racist, doesn’t improve the situation.
