They are both examples of discrimination, and I compared one specific incident to another, not the entire civil rights movement to this (and I'M the one setting up a straw man?).
Not sure what you meant by "I need once excused the behavior"...I typo a lot too so I get it (see my first post). What was that point you were trying to make?
- EpicEng 13y agoYeah... That's what I get for typing responses on my phone. My point was simply that I left that article with the feeling that the author gets off on feeling victimized. I could be wrong, and I said as much, but that was my gut reaction I tried to preface what I said because I'm not the most empathetic person in the world and sometimes I judge prematurely. My girlfriend reminds me of this fact often. The rosa parks analogy is a false one because of both severity and circumstance. Discriminating against a person solely because of their race is far worse than questioning the reason for which a person is trying to bring a dog onto a plane. People can be jerks, but I am not convinced this was an act of discrimination. To suggest that I am fine with racism because I suggested that the author enjoys feeling victimized is ridiculous.
