It twists me up because you and the Nancy Graces of the world won't concede even when the facts are put in front of you (any doubts Nancy would tell you the Duke boys got away with rape because they could afford a good lawyer right now?) and it further pushes the narrative that white people are inherently racist, it's in their genes, they can't help themselves, even though there is nothing there. It twists me up because policies are instituted and maintained, like at UVA, based on fabricated stories such as is the case here...see U of South Carolina women's basketball. You'll tell us that you'll give the kid the benefit of the doubt in one breath and in the next you'll tell us that that doesn't mean he didn't do it.
Of course I've been accused of racism, DocB is a poster here, but no, that doesn't bother me one little tiny bit.
I'm like Nancy Grace now, a flamer, shock jock, whiner of the worst sort.
Yes, the kid may not have said anything, but maybe he did.
But I give the benefit of the doubt, as in HooDat's "innocent until proven guilty" theme, to which I quite agree.
He shouldn't be punished and he shouldn't be considered guilty for something no one seems willing to say directly they know he did.
Of course, that's not absolute proof of innocence, but that ticks you off.
But here you are accusing the gal of lying...lying...but you have NO evidence that she is doing so, nor any prior bad acts that would suggest that she's the sort of person to make incendiary accusations and look for this kind of attention.
I say she's innocent of such until proven otherwise. I find her credible...and admit that I could be mistaken.
Yes, you appear to be all twisted up, all riled up...interesting way to phrase about what ticks you off: "
it further pushes the narrative that white people are inherently racist, it's in their genes, they can't help themselves."
Well, I sure as heck ain't pushing
that "narrative".
But it's inarguable that
some people are racist. It's inarguable that a majority in power naturally seeks to maintain such power and status, and
some people view their power and status as maintained through racial differences.
In our country, that majority has been white and
some people have sought to maintain that power and status...and some people get all spooled up when they get confronted with that choice.
Yeah, it's a
choice, I'm not claiming genetic.
I might give someone some rope because of how they were raised, but no excuse because of "genes".
I asked whether you or someone you know well (and personally care about) had been unfairly accused of being racist (and that's got you hyper sensitive). Gotta be some reason.
