12756483, this is not what common was saying though Posted by MiracleRic, Thu Mar-19-15 01:04 PM
maybe...just maybe...that's kinda what he was thinking or what he meant but as someone who literally works with words...
he picked the wrong ones...
it takes far more work to interpret what Comm said as some sloppy version of what Jay Smooth said then it does to interpret what Comm said as what he's largely being accused of here
that being, said...as useful as what Jay Smooth is talking about is as far as "tactics"...i still think it's only going to help marginally...
that's generally how i try to approach most debates like these...but most people are too divisive and defensive to treat any type of disagreement as anything other than an attack
if the person is capable (or willing) to apply enough nuance to separate "that's racist" from "you're a racist"...they probably wouldn't have said that racist shit to begin with...there are enough exceptions to that to be notable but not enough to be meaningful...in the context of having a better discussion...sure...but it's not discussion that's actually needed...it's action
the interview that jay smooth was in emphasized that even more...he went on to say...the net worth of said "tactics" is meaningless until certain actionable changes are made society wide
the DOJ report is out there...it's tone and approach seems neutral as fuck...and people are still unwilling to face facts
