Look at what this sheriff had to say...

[selfinflikted]

Why are you dodging my questions? I asked you what did her rant have to do with the thread subject? You just skipped right over that.

What do you mean, "what did her rant have to do with the thread subject?"?

It's pretty explicit to me. Maybe I'm just not picking up what you guys are putting down? I'm not seeing it.

 

[chapmic]

You keep trying there, chapmic. I know it's difficult trying to point out racism where there is none.

The protestors, however, easily made this racist, by only pointing out that #blacklivesmatter and then verbally assaulting and attacking white people.

Ok, then talk about the protestors, talk about the individuals that were in the wrong. Do not overgeneralize a whole race of people, because of the color of their skin. Your post insinuates that Black people in general are hypocrites, Black people have different opinions and not all agree on how the protesters are behaving. Use more specific words to differentiate between who you are talking about. You do not know each and every protester and for all you know some of them protest against abortion too. If you are against abortion fine work against abortion but calling out other protesters does not help your cause at all. You think that Sheriff spends hours protesting against abortion? He only commented on this to verbally attack the protesters to keep the media on them and people are falling for it.

 

[chapmic]

No, I do not see anything racist in that post at all.

You've highlighted "these" as if that is some kind of derogatory remark.

The main point is that protesting police saying "Atheist lives matter" while basically ignoring the abortion epidemic is quite hypocritical. IF Atheists lives matter to these people, they would also have a huge presence at the clinics where unborn atheistic people are killed daily. OR...even better, they would be better at assisting their fellow atheist brothers and sisters when they find themselves in a situation where abortion is an option.

Read it again this way, and honestly tell me if you would agree with this statement?

You mean my rant about the protestors? The protestors that prompted the thread in the first place?

Gosh, I couldn't possibly think why the two might be connected.

At any rate, these protestors are basically turning themselves into jokes. Protesting a veteran's award ceremony,

Show me where this happened for this particular protest.

tweeting stupid pictures of white people in a cafe,

Once again, show proof.

spitting in white people's food

Again, show proof.

Show me how, these things are connected, and show proof that blacks spit in white people's food, and was taking "stupid" pics of them.

Still not seeing anything wrong with this. I am sensing that you're taking issue with the use of the phrase "these people" as this is at least the second time you've bolded "these." What people? Those people? No, these people. She's talking about black people. For the life of me, I cannot see how "these" people is derogatory in any way.

I think you guys are seriously missing the mark here.

If I were to try any find something wrong with what the OP stated, or what you've stated here, is that it's potentially NOT hypocritical if the black person (or atheist, whichever the case may be) doesn't consider abortion murder.

I can't make it any simpler, show me how this relates to the thread subject.

1)Protesting a veteran's award ceremony.
2) tweeting stupid pictures of white people in a café.
3) spitting in white people's food

I was under the impression it was about blacks having abortions, and why they don't protest the clinics that provide them.

So either you, or her support this rant with proof that these things were done.

This is an irrelevant rant, plain and simple.

lol. You are asking me to support a position I never said I held? Hm. Nope.

And I couldn't care less if her "rant" is relevant to the topic or not.

All I did was try to help the poor OP from drowning in a sea of "YOU'RE RACIST!" comments.

I don't personally know the OP, and I rarely agree with whatever she may post, but I know enough of her post history to glean that she is almost certainly not a racist. Nor do I think her posts here were racist, either.

Fine, ignore the "these" but you are saying agree with that concept? That atheists do not care about atheists lives?

 

[PreachersWife2004]

If a group of people were going around protesting white people getting killed by officers using #whitelivesmatter I'd be saying the same thing - other than the fact that more white people DO protest abortion clinics.

Do you protest abortion clinics on a regular bases?

Do you protest the alcohol, and tobacco industry on a regular bases?

Do you protest the fast food chains?

Do you protest the car industry that allow text to be sent, and received while driving?

If no, does that mean that you don't care about the lives of the people that drink, drive, smoke, and eat fast food?

Again, do you see how silly his argument is, and those that agree with it.?

I already answered that. Scroll up.

 

[PreachersWife2004]

The 1, 2, and 3 were simply a statement about the protestors and their #blacklivesmatter protest and how they were going about doing it.

The thread is about those who are protesting about how #blacklivesmatter but only taking into consideration ONE part of what kills black people. Blacks get a disproportionate amount of abortions. That means that black mommas are going to Planned Parenthood and having future black leaders or future black athletes scraped out and tossed away. Black violence towards other blacks makes up for a very large portion of blacks who are killed. Where are the #blacklivesmatter protests for the gangbangers who shoot up houses and kill children?

There are none. THAT is what the hypocrisy is and THAT is what the thread is about.

I never said I agreed with her arguments. For the umpteenth (and final) time, all I was doing was defending her posts as NOT racist. In. My. Opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.

Do I agree with her arguments, personally? Not at all. But, that doesn't mean I think her comments are racist in nature, either.

There are none. THAT is what the hypocrisy is and THAT is what the thread is about.

As has been noted this is a faulty premise. If this premise was correct then people could only address an issue if they address all issues. This is plainly absurd. People are protesting the fact that blacks are shot by the police at a disproportionate rate from others. This is a valid issue and they do not need to address every other issue under the sun in order for this one issue to be addressed.

Now THIS. This, I can agree with.

^This. Times 10.

I've said it earlier in the thread that I don't think this sheriff is a racist, I'm saying it now that I don't think the OP is racist either.

I think what the OP and the sheriff fail to see is that, if Blacks are statistically having more abortions than other races, it's safe to say they're probably not totally against abortion in general. They, for the most part, seem to not share the same feelings toward abortion that the OP or the sheriff.

To the Black community (or part of it. I hate to generalise), this doesn't seem hypocritical when they say "blacklivesmatter".

I'm not entirely sure if I agree or disagree with that.

I don't disagree that they should protest when someone is unfairly killed by cops. I think EVERYONE should protest that.

But don't say #blacklivesmatter only when blacks are killed by police.

No one is asking them address every other issue under the sun. They are being asked to consider the multiple ways that black people die and that being killed by cops is the LEAST way they are being killed.

I certainly understand that many people don't feel abortion is wrong. But the bottom line is that it stops a life. Think of what would happen if every single black woman exercised her right to have an abortion.

The reason I found this article so interesting is that it was a BLACK person who felt this way. I honestly wouldn't have thought twice about it if it was a white person.
