Would you mind disclosing in which camp you stand? I need it to confirm if your disregard for discussing racial problems and warning about "harmful discourse" is real or just racism.
- argiopetech 2y agoI don't believe in camps (with regards to allying myself with one — obviously they exist). I believe in seeking truth (to the extent possible) through discourse. See the rest of this thread for how I conduct that process and what I do when confronted with reasonable evidence. I have no problem discussing racial problems. I just didn't see this as one (I've changed that opinion), and didn't appreciate the framing of the article (still don't, but the linked 25 pager is more nuanced). Finally, I didn't say it was harmful discourse. I said it was "harmful to discourse".
- meiraleal 2y agoAny time you are racist, intentionally or just because you can't grasp the full picture, you believe in camps and worse, you choose a side.
