... I AGC'd it despite it being obviously horrible.

EDIT: I mean, it's obvious that this problem goes a lot deeper than the statues - the statues wouldn't be a problem without the racists.

Me too: "we should be less concerned with statues of long-dead racists and more concerned with reforming lovely teaching of Lost Cause history in schools"

The lady in question:


KSDK posted:

JEFFERSON CITY, MO. - A Missouri state senator has been removed from all committee assignments after posting on Facebook that she hopes President Trump will be assassinated.

Kinda reminds me of a situation last year...

NYT posted:

Repeating his contention that Mrs. Clinton wanted to abolish the right to bear arms, Mr. Trump warned at a rally here that it would be “a horrible day” if Mrs. Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tiebreaking Supreme Court justice.

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

I wonder what happened to that bozo.

If your opinion aligns with a neo nazi's the problem is probably with you and not people making a big deal about the opinion.

The whole point of "AGC" is that some artists are bad at making their points, and you won't know what they mean unless you know their background. There are queer POC who have complained about game developers writing "token" characters with no personalities and expecting to get praise. It would work better if the artist were a white guy at a big company, though.

xthetenth posted:

Expecting all the work of confronting racism to happen without your involvement isn't being an ally.

Not listening to people's problems isn't being an ally.

Expecting people to come to you to tell you how to be an ally rather than seeking to help and to learn isn't being an ally.

Hope this helps!

Working on behalf of people is simple. You put in a good faith effort to understand their problems, and work to remedy them. If they say that you aren't helping or you're dislocating your shoulder patting yourself on the back for doing the bare minimum, you don't get angry because you're doing it because it's right, you try to understand if the criticism is valid.

Edit:If anybody who's actually engaging in good faith has questions, then feel free to keep going. This isn't for this guy's benefit though.

I am under the impression that any social justice issue that primarily affects a specific group should be led by members of that group. If, as a white man, I try to lead an organization fighting for black women, that strikes me as paternalistic. A bunch of white guys fighting over black women's rights is saying that we know better than they do. I could say "I'm listening to what they tell me," but it's never the same to hear about someone's struggle filtered through a third party, no matter how sympathetic. I see my role as an ally to lift up and support the people who are already fighting, not to push them aside and take over because they're "tired." As an example, when a friend said something sexist the other day, I briefly explained why it was wrong and then referred him to some resources where other women had explained the issue. I told him I didn't want to debate it, because it had already been covered and I'd rather he read it from a woman's point of view.



How many times has Stiglich done "two people look at TV and misunderstand what they're seeing?" I know I've seen it twice with this exact pose within the last week.

Edit: It was this one. Not a TV, but a very similar pose.
