That would have been racist

What's stopping you from doing that? This is open source work, they are not being paid to do this so you should not expect everyone to do work for you, for free :)

I'm trying to read your comment charitably but I just can't find a humanising reason to post this. Because it's kind of unfair to assume you have a poor reason to do so, perhaps it would help me and hopefully other readers if you explained your line of thought here. Why do you want to know this?

I am not going to pretend you are engaging in civilized discussion. You are comparing people protesting against a constant threat to their lives from law enforcement - ask any black parent about "the talk" - to people protesting losing an election fomented by lies. On one side you have a real issue impacting the life of millions of people daily, on the other you have an issue artificially created based on lies, falsehoods and misdirection. These are not even remotely similar events, not by any measure. The response to these events from law enforcement was not close, nor comparable. Stop this false equivalence.

  Can I humbly make an observation? I agree the two events are not equivalent. Nevertheless, I think the bar has to be set higher before deciding a person is not worth talking to. "I am not going to pretend you are engaging in civilized discussion." Are you sure you know this? I don't know who GreenHeuristics is, perhaps his comment is in good faith, perhaps not, I don't know. But his comment wasn't a mad rant, how ever much anyone may dislike it.

Did you feel the same way about the Summer riots as the Capitol riots?
