Rittenhouse was a self-styled vigilante who murdered two unarmed protesters. That's what matters legally. Rittenhouse crossed state lines with an illegal weapon.
You do realize that, rRittenhouse was a self-styled vigilante who murdered two unarmed protesters. That's what matters legally. Rittenhouse crossed state lines with an illegal weapon.
You are retarded. IT was clearly self defense.
When you tell black men that rittenhouse was in the wrong, you are encouraging them to get themselves killed.
You do realize that, right?

Just out of curiosity, How would you know what black men are "encouraged by"?
Because I am a man, and i can see that someone telling me that I have the right to attack people and it is wrong of them to defend themselves against me, is an encouragement of me to commit such violence, and thus place myself in danger.
Why would you think that I could NOT know that? Because black men are such a different species that they are incomprehensible to a white guy?
Were you actually at the protest? Did anyone PERSONALLY attack YOU?
Or are you living vicariously through Rittenhouse?
Neither.
My point stands. When you tell a group of people that they have the right to violently attack other people, and indeed, it is morally and legally wrong of those people to defend themselves, you are encouraging those people to do that type of behavior.
And, as it is a lie, you are encouraging them to get themselves into situations that can lead to their deaths.
As we saw in kenosha.
And why would you IGNORANTLY claim that this is encouraging "Black men in general to get thmselves killed"?
That is an assumption which is rooted in your own ignorance of what YOU assume that black men in general think.
You don't know any more about what Black men" in general think "will get themselves killed over" than black men in general know about you and those like you think.
Your "point" only "stands" to be a testament to an ignorant statement on your part and that of others as to of what you "think" you believe that black men in general "think.".
You know Kat, the basis of the discussion on race here in America, going back at least to the 50s, if not earlier is that we are all basically the same, thus we should be equal.
That is an idea I was raised with and never seriously questioned.
But, you are making the argument that white and black men are so greatly different, that I as a white man, cannot hope to understand you, as a group.
I open to hearing your arguments. At first glance your position would explain a lot.
BUT, have you really considered the implications?
If you are correct, than America has been wrong on race and needs to rethink everything we have done, all the way back to BEFORE desegregation.
(not slavery, that argument was different and not based on equality so much as immorality)
I believe you are misunderstanding what I am stating. All day, everyday and without exception numeous people here bring up the "cultural" differences between the races.
That being said, it is obvious that the majority who post here do not believe that we are all the same, or even equal to begin with.
Where we ARE undeniably equal is that we ALL have the same rights under the constitution as we should.
Beyond that point, people are different and have different belief systems.
In the case of the shooter, I stated that I do not know any black males who feel strongly enough about his innocence or guilt that they would be "encouraged to get themselves killed over it".
From there, you made the decision to read farther into what I stated for your own reasons.
I've posted on message boards like this dating back to when the internet became accessible to the mainstream, and this forum, unlike the ones I've seen before, reminds me more of the pre civil rights era than any other that I've experienced.
I'm not certain what you are implying regarding "rethinking everything that America has "done" even prior to desegregation".
What has been "done" is to ensure equal rights under the law, and if one is a tax paying, law abiding citizen, that is a minimum right of citizenship.
I suspect that you are leaning towards stating that the country may be better off to return minorities to the same 2nd class citizenship that existed prior to the Civil rights era.
Your smear of the other posters on this site is just your opinion and wrong. Dismissed.
Beyond that, you attacked me for daring to imagine that I could understand what black males would think, hearing lyslander's urging to violence.
That was you being racist and wrong. My point stand. Shit talk like lyslander was doing, is getting people killed, in the streets.
Men, or people do not need to be told that they have the right to commit violence on people, just because those people disagree with them.
