Such a ridiculous comment. Just because CC (and I) think something isn't worthy of a violent response doesn't mean we think it's justified. This is the very definition of the "false choice" logical fallacy. I know you're more intelligent than this. Quit trolling.
No. Are you attempting to create some sort of "black privilege", in which a black person has a right to respond to words with violence, whereas no such circumstance exists for a white person. Absolute hogwash. Words are never worthy of a violent response. Period.
That's white privilege. The knowledge that you haven't had to suffer as a race and dehumanized for thousands of years. "Oh you are just overreacting."
Creating different rules for different classes of people is precisely the opposite of every civil rights and equal protection law on the books. The whole goal of equality is for people of all "races", genders, ethnicities, etc. to be treated equally. If you are arguing for different treatment based on skin color, then you are flat out wrong.
I am telling a human how never to respond to insults. Skin color and the specific insult don't enter into the equation.
The point is and you said it yourself, there is no equivalent for white people of being called the N-bomb. So you can't relate to the experience and shouldn't dictate what a black person's reaction would be.
That's like rich person who got rich through inheritance telling poor people they should just work harder.
An equivalent to an N-bomb is irrelevant. Words are words. They cannot equal physical violence. By your logic, if the teacher had murdered the student, we would have no right to declare it wrong. Your logic is ridiculous.
If someones words are causing me stress, which is thought to shorten lifespan, is that not an attack on my physical being?
No--it would be like a rich person who got rich through inheritance telling poor people that they shouldn't steal, because nobody should steal, regardless of their circumstances, just like nobody should respond to words with violence, regardless of the situation.
In addition to being dehumanized by being called the N-Word, he was also assaulted prior to him beating the little shithead up. Totally. Justified.
Oh, subjective morality. Great. In your opinion, beating someone up is justified. In someone else's opinion, stabbing them is justified. Who's to say who is right, eh?
