I think it would have even greater impact if it were a stark reminder that got moved to an appropriate forum.Res Ipsa wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 7:04 pmPersonally, I think it's very helpful to observe attempts to mainstream bigotry, including racism. I think Elizabeth's posts demonstrate a helpful contrast between the exquisite beauty that can be found in the world and universe with the ugliness and depravity that can exist in the human soul. If truth is beauty, then the claim that COVID-19 vaccinations are equivalent to abortions is the epitome of ugliness. It is demonstrably false. Here's just one article discussing the claim. https://www.reuters.com/article/factche ... SL2N2X2251
Misrepresenting the meaning of VAERS data and even gaming the system with false reports have become anti-vax tactics. The spreaders of this misinformation prey on the perfectly natural desire of pregnant women to want to give birth to a healthy child. They result will be more disease, suffering and death for both pregnant women and the baby they hope to give birth to. The complete disregard of the life and health of both for the purpose of advancing an essentially political agenda shows the depths of human ugliness that can exist in a world of beauty.
So also with the lie that diversity=white genocide. To the extent that "white race" is an intelligible concept, "diversity" is irrelevant to its continued existence. What is relevant is whether white people choose to make babies with each other. What Elizabeth is talking about has nothing to do with "white genocide" -- she's talking about "white supremacy." And the notion that white people are supreme is pure and simple racism -- again, about as ugly as things get.
I think this entire thread is a stark reminder of how the depravity of a human soul can try to conceal itself in the beauty we can find all around us. Try, but fail for anyone willing to use their eyes and their brains.
Agreed.
Agreed again. So, could we move this depravity to the appropriate location?I think this entire thread is a stark reminder of how the depravity of a human soul can try to conceal itself in the beauty we can find all around us. Try, but fail for anyone willing to use their eyes and their brains.
Although a picture can be worth a thousand words, sometimes a picture needs words for context. This particular picture appears to have been taken during the Baltimore riots over the police killing of Freddie Gray. The treatment of the black citizens by the Baltimore Police Department has been an issue for decades. The BPD is currently operating under a consent decree and statistics show racially disparate treatment of complaints by black residents and complaints against black officers. https://htv-prod-media.s3.amazonaws.com ... 083367.pdf

no argument there. It just seems that Elizabeth's racial bigotry doesn't qualify as keeping " all communications "Rated G," as per SSP Forum Rule 1.Res Ipsa wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 11:31 pmWhy is this not an appropriate location? Why not call out racism where we find it? Are we not capable of discussing the loathsomeness of her racist posts within SSP rules. Note how she has doubled and tripled down on the racist posting by posting additional references to violent crimes committed by black folks. It's kind of ironic given how her posting comes on the heels of a not black person using a military grade weapon to turn elementary schoolers into blobs of jelly.
Pictures of kittens and sunsets are only skin deep. Racial bigotry goes down to the bone.
