I didn't throw his name in the mix, it was already posted. I just added my two cents that he can fuck off, and why. I never said anything about the state, but here you go, it can fuck off too. 

[Hate 20232]

Sure, that's true.
A true middle-of-the-road type would be seeing all sides and providing balanced commentary. You'd look through their statements and see a healthy mix of posts critical of BLM tactics and critical of anti-BLM tactics and critical of police tactics. A middle-of-the-road person wouldn't be constantly quoting social media grifters and pot-stirrers.
I think that's all fair. Agree/Disagree?
So what if you had someone who was rarely critical of BLM (often defensive on their behalf), somewhat critical or rioters/looters, and highly critical of anti-BLM and police? You wouldn't call that person "middle-of-the-road not really taking a side" with a straight face. (Me, obviously, right?)
And what if you had someone who was rarely critical of police/anti-BLM (often defensive of their behalf) and highly critical of BLM and rioters/looters? Would THAT person be considered "middle-of-the-road not really taking a side"?
Because that's the version of reality that hate and baba yaga and onboard and myriad others are trying to sell right now.
(And before the whining begins, all we have to do is read and count posts. It's no more complicated than that. Read and count the posts.)

 I don't really agree, because I think it's symbolic of the real problem of racial inequality that white people feel like they get to determine what that "appropriate" level of outrage and protest is. 

 

No the law says what's allowable its not a white people get to pick what's accepable.  Society as a whole will judge whats acceptable or not, but the law is what determines legality. 

The law is not racist, right of assembly laws aren't racist, laws against theft (looting) aren't racist, laws against rioting aren't racist.

Agree.  Objectively speaking, it's hard to find a law that is facially racist.  But what about in their application?

Think about the rule against holding in football.  It's an objective rule, it's not pro or anti UT.  But if we can look at game film, and determine that UT OLs hold at generally the same rate as all other Big 12 OLs, but whenever we play OSU, for example, the refs call it at a 3 to 1 rate against UT....and it happens year in and year out.....smells like there's a problem.

To take that back to a law, look at jaywalking laws.  We all do it -- seriously, jaywalking happens all the time, by everyone.  But are tickets given out in proportion to the general population ratios?

Quote

All but one of the jaywalking tickets issued by NYPD cops in the first quarter of this year went to blacks or Hispanics, according to city data that confirms — and worsens — a racially suspect policy first exposed by Streetsblog earlier this year.

From Jan. 1 to March 31, the NYPD wrote 80 tickets for illegal crossing — less than one a day in a city of more than eight million people — and only one went to a person identified in police logs as “white.”

The rest — 78 of the 79 tickets for which a race was listed, or 99 percent — went to black or Hispanics, who comprise about 55 percent of the population (chart below or weblink here).

Smells like there's a problem.  When laws are enforced and applied in a disproportionate and apparently discriminatory manner, that's a problem.  And when we have written laws that make police effectively immune from any consequences of those actions, that compounds the problem.

The nature of the problems is complex -- it's the laws, their enforcement, the lack of accountability, broader social pressures/excuses for behavior, etc.

We all understand the basic concept of fairness -- when the refs call every ticky-tacky holding against our guys, but let the other OL get away with flat-out takedowns, we get pissed off and throw shit at the TV.  It's how people react to apparent unfairness in the application of what, facially, seems like an objective and fair rule.  Today, people see unequal application of the law in how minorities are treated compared to white people (more likely to be stopped and pulled over, get harassed for jaywalking, and a thousand other things), and they see an unequal power dynamic in how the laws are written that turns police into a class of super-citizens who are above the rule of law that the rest of us are bound by.  In short, 1) I'm getting fucked over, and 2) the refs are untouchable and can do this shit with impunity.  That pisses people off, and makes them throw shit at the TV.

White people do get to pick what they find outrageous.

He's essentially arguing that white people need to not just immediately be dominated by their angry reactions to these situations, calm down, and try to take a more nuanced view with an understanding that racial prejudice is real and pervasive. You have your autonomy, he's just arguing (I think, anyway) that you should use that autonomy to be as charitable as possible when evaluating what someone else is doing, especially when that person is historically oppressed.

Say a BLM group interrupts your brunch. You're drinking a bloody mary with a fat strip of bacon in it and a bunch of people start yelling at you about oppression or racism or whatever. You are going to feel threatened and upset and annoyed, that's just natural. And you might be tempted to promote the annoyance and upset you felt at being interrupted at brunch ABOVE whatever suffering or oppression that motivated that demonstration. Does that make sense? Then the outrage of the white person has, in white society, superseded the outrage the prompted the protest.

Brad is saying this is bad.

I think he is saying that a better way would be to be annoyed and upset temporarily, calm down over time, and come to a conclusion like, "I was upset and annoyed that happened to me, and I don't think it should happen that way, but I still acknowledge that the thing that upset THEM is far worse than whatever they did to me."

   Simple terms. If you say you are against racism and police brutality, but do nothing when you hear or see it, then your silence is taken as approval. If you say that you think that think that the war on drugs should end, but then silently vote for law and order guy....collusion. That's how it works. People who say nothing and do nothing only serve to help continue whatever act is happening. Pretty simple concept.

Thank you for your response.  I thought I had a pretty good handle on the concept, and your interpretation confirmed it.  I still don't understand why you posted in response to the below post.  I appreciate the communication and believe actual discussion and attempts to understand someone's thinking is much more productive then just disregarding people or assigning labels to them.  Do you think Hate, or anyone really, is a silent racist if they don't think protestors shouting down people at a restaurant or blocking traffic and banging on cars is a reasonable form of protest?

Do you think that the protesters shouting at people eating dinner are going to garner the support of the diners? Do you think that protesters blocking traffic and banging on cars is going to garner the support of the drivers?

And my point earlier is that for a lot of us, me anyway, I didn’t grow up during segregation. I’ve never been to a restaurant with separate dining rooms for black or white people. I’ve never been to a movie theatre that forced black people to sit in the balcony. I never was on a little league team that did not allow black kids to participate. The idea that it ever existed is appalling. Are things perfect now? No, of course not. Are things better for “my generation” than they were before? I would say so. Are things perfect or the way they should be? No obviously not. Should we continue to make strides and should those strides be bigger and quicker to come? Yes we should. Is this wrong? Does this make me a silent racist?

Look, let's not accuse BabaYaga of being a racist. I want to be fair here.

Now just imagine if you asked a racist his or her thoughts on the NBA.

I imagine the first thing they'd talk about is how they've stopped watching because of "all of the politics" and how the NBA is a dying sport full of SJWs

"There is a reason golf and the UFC are killing it in the ratings and basketball ratings are down 40% despite playoff implications.  People have stated again and again how inundated politics is in every facet of their lives.  How sports used to be/is a bastion of relief and escape from it all.  

They see the hypocrisy with these athletes virtue signalling on selective topics and avoiding others all together"

Then they'll typically go off on a rant about LeBron James, as he is sort of the face of BLM and activism in the NBA

Jesus you are almost too stupid for words.  First of all, China absolutely said shut the fuck up and dribble and he did.  Try another avenue.  Michael Rapaport is goods friends with many current NBA players.  Is a hyper-democrat, and has stated publicly from conversations with current players that Lebron is THE MOST FAKE player/person in the NBA.  He sticks his finger in the air to get a feel for what he should protest or support next.  This is coming from current players calling him on his bullshit, so maybe take this deflection bullshit somewhere else for a player that inserts himself into this shit and then cries foul when pushed on it.  

Then of course, when they get a few drinks in them, they'll let it out a bit and let you know that NBA players are all thugs

First time NBA players have ever pulled out of something......

That's the extent of posts that Baba has made about basketball or the NBA on here. Zero other posts, no contributions to the basketball threads, etc. His sole interest in the NBA are ratings, LeBron James, and SJWs. He seems to know or care nothing for the actual sport itself, but he's oddly well read on LeBron's politics and how people feel about it, the NBA's ratings as compared to other sports, and the NBA players' off court behavior.

So look, we can't definitively say that BabaYaga is a racist. Let's be fair. All we can say is that if you were to sketch out exactly how a racist would respond to a conversation about the NBA, it would look identical to how he behaves.
