Have you heard of metaphor? See Chauvin is the man, see? And Floyd is the repressed people, see? And when you are acting like the man don't exist you sound like a fool, see?

But I'm sure you have a firm grasp of subtext. Wait is that the same as context? Now you done gone and confused my tiny little brain! I'm going to go cry in the corner and hope I don't melt my snowflake self in the process! BWAAAAH!

I'm standing up for victims. Something you'll generously call virtue signaling I believe.

Yes. My Spidey-sense is tingling. I'm suspecting you're going to make a straw man argument.
When has anybody anywhere claimed that no minority has ever achieved success? When has anybody claimed minorities cannot achieve success?
I'm certainly not claiming that.
It's about an unbalanced playing field. Success can still be achieved by all but I endeavor to stop systemic practices which hamstring some of our population. It affects outcomes. Somebody's odds. If you cannot see the disparity at the upper-echelons of power I'm sorry for you.

No systemic practices. The photo above bears witness otherwise. Look at the incarceration rates. Your premise is all based on that there is a lack of victimization. A false premise. Mountains of evidence show it's false.

I've never advocated not trying. Where exactly did you get that? I'm advocating everybody trying to be a better, more equitable society for everybody.

I'm quite successful. I'm not sure where you got that I'm feeling sorry for myself.

I jumped the gun but I've seen your arguments before. Many many times. You are putting a bunch of words in my mouth I never said. Why not listen to what I'm saying and argue against what I actually stand for?

You might find people will try harder if you stop telling them what they just said. Otherwise it's just a sad futile exercise.

If you're keeping score Timber won the argument. I was terribly wrong and I'm victimizing people who are victimized. I'm holding everybody back. I'm sorry I'm a terrible human being who should be shot by firing squad at the next Trump rally.

I think we're done here. You quote what I said and continue with "No you're not"
You refuse to listen or to be charitable in your interpretation of what I'm saying.

You have Google, you can look up the same information I have access to. You refuse a mountain of studies and evidence exist that support my claims. People who believe everybody else is conspiring, lying and has it out for them is immune to facts. I'm pitching in with scientists and experts who hold that there is a problem to be solved here. You probably feel outnumbered because you're lining up to be on the wrong side if history in this pivotal time.

It's not my job to cure your willful ignorance.

I butchered some of what I typed below. Guess I should proofread.

Because you're arguing from the playbook and the straw men were just waiting in the wings.

Yet you continued with the very straw man arguments I predicted plus a veritable pile of new ones. It's quite hilarious you're getting bent over this.

Next time you think you can spell victim correctly...
Wish I could edit the title.
