Says the person who never had guns drawn on them just for their skin color.
- zzzzzzzza 5y agoi'm white and american and a cop (also white) has pulled a gun on me in a routine traffic stop for going slightly over the speed limit. i wouldn't automatically assume that someone is drawing a gun on you because of your skin color (though of course your situation may have been different, but if you are that traumatized by it... maybe america will be a less racist place if you move away)
- whynaut 5y agothat last sentence comes off extremely rude
- dang 5y agoIf you post another personal attack to HN, we will ban you. We had to warn you about this just recently. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- zzzzzzzza 5y agoi am sorry i will try to reflect on my negativity recently dang :P
- dang 5y agoAppreciated! Btw, we all, save maybe a few enlightened ones, have negativity to reflect on. Probably the enlightened ones do too. The goal isn't to get rid of negativity—that's would be setting the bar far too high. We just want to prevent negative swipes from making it into the comments here. You can take care of that via the 'edit' link after you post; that's what I do. You can also set 'delay' in your profile if you want time to review your comment before it gets seen; I do that too.
- dang 5y agoPlease do not take HN threads further into generic ideological flamewar. It's tedious, repetitive, and nasty. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
