Let’s start here, even though this should go without saying: We don’t think that all black people are inherently abusive or dangerous. Plenty of black people aren’t.
There are black people that we love very much – black people around whom we feel mostly safe and unthreatened; black people who, in fact, support, respect, and take care of us on familial, platonic, romantic, and sexual levels. Not every black person has violated us individually; for most of us, there are plenty of black people that we trust.
We know what you mean by “not all black people” – because on a basic level, we agree with you.
But the socialization of black people is such that even a good black person – a supportive black person, a respectful black person, a trusted black person – has within him the potential for violence and harm because these behaviors are normalized through black culture.
Sweet!
I’m confused, hard to keep up with the changing ethos…does this mean Mooslums are to be looked at through this lens…or not?
Perfect.
Most sane people were taught this simple technique, as children.
To check the bias, simply change the who to thou..
It helps to RTFA.
Back in the day at Uni, I used to refer to this substitutionary method as a type of structural analysis of an argument; I’d recommend to people that, as a first pass when analyzing an argument that they found superficially attractive, they should substitute references for the target of the argument with some other target altogether, and see if it was still an attractive argument. Almost invariably, people who did this realized that they’d been hoodwinked by the use of emotional loading — the argument, when re-cast, began to sound absurd.
It’s useful to do in a variety of contexts, but, unlike John Robertson above, I discovered that many otherwise very intelligent and educated people had never been exposed to this technique, and still others couldn’t do the simple compare-and-contrast that’s inherent in the method, thus arguing (in effect) that the original presentation was nevertheless valid. It was a disheartening experience for me, but it also taught me that there are some people for whom arguments are only useful as intellectual bludgeons, and truth (or even logic) wasn’t the point.
I’ve never tried to argue with such people ever since. Keeps my blood pressure in check. 😉
Our black people are better than their black people.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are ya, O Opaque One…lol
The fix for sexism is NOT different sexism.
Just like the fix for racism is NOT different racism.
It’s a simple concept…why is is it that most, if not all “progressives” cannot wrap their pointy heads around it?
Could not agree with this less. To say that blacks are prone to violence because of rap culture is like saying whites are prone to it because of meth. Stupid bigoted argument. Judge each individual on their own merits and see where that takes you. It’s a better place, trust me.
Guess which commenter(s) did not go to the link?
(For those that are really lazy, the story is not about race.)
Didn’t go to the site because I was afraid of what it was. Would suggest Kate use quotes next time for the “lazy” folks like me.
A variation on that is: “Never argue with an idiot–other people might not tell the difference between the both of you.”
muslims have to be viewed through an entirely different lens.
Even hovering over the link would show what this was.
Anyway, here you go with the explanation quote:
Why would someone do this… well, the lead paragraph:
Really is quite a bit to quote there if you also include any of the changed article.
a 10x scope with a range finding reticle has a good lens for that
“Didn’t go to the site because I was afraid of what it was”
You didn’t click the link because you didn’t want to think of yourself aligned with ‘One of Those’.
Exhibit A on how and why political correctness stifles free speech and the free exchange of ideas.

“edward teach says… the fix for racism is NOT different racism.”
sure it is… just like painting sh!t pink cures breast cancer.

This is the stupidest comment I’ve ever read at SDA. You should be embarrassed..
Has nothing to do with “being aligned”.
I just don’t want to see garbage. Personal choice.
” To say that blacks are prone to violence because of rap culture is like saying whites are prone to it because of meth.”
Read the effing article.
excellent black beard
I am very happy that this level of feminism fears all men. That must be an uncomfortable place to dwell in this world. The upside is that this fear and loathing of men may help prevent some hapless male from being paired up with one of these reptiles.
Women have throughout history, played a support role in society while men went out and killed dragons n stuff. It will take a bit longer than a few decades and some angry whiny fem books and social media posts to change the nature of our species. I am not sure men want to become women, so this may all be for nothing.
At some point in the future, the veneer of civility may come off western society, then women will understand what muslim women already know. Our immigration policies guarantee that this is coming ….. ladies ……
I explained about what happened, as for your opinion Kathy, I could not care less.
I amused myself by changing black people to clowns. Try it.
