Your comparison is nonsensical. Calling police racist murderers does not follow from mentioning addressing police violence and systemic racism.
Your summation of the situation is more reflective of your interpretation of reality than the actual situation at hand.
An accurate analogy per your logic would be to call tech executives sexist after reading an article where it mentions steps are being taken trying to address tech sexism and unequal pay.
- ALittleLight 5y agoIf you said "Because of the sexism and discrimination at Blizzard, we are doing X" I would, of course, take it to mean you think Blizzard was sexist and discriminatory. I think that's overwhelmingly obvious - so obvious that I'm not even sure how to argue it. Similarly, it just strikes me as incoherent to say you need a program to address racism in the police, police violence, and murders by the police - but also to say it's an unfair summary to say that you've called the police racist murderers.
