Quote:...and getting people to tune them out, not listen.

 

It's the whole respect thing.  If you want it, you earn it - you don't demand it while attacking those you want it from.

 

I think everyone on all sides would prefer injustices to go away.

 

But to do that you don't fight injustice with injustice.  It's completely illogical.

 

It's like making the defense do gassers when the offense false starts or drops a pass.  You're only hurting the team as a whole and not addressing the issue.  It's an unjust punishment against the innocent for the mistakes or wrongdoing of others.

Look.  If i see a black man being racist or doing anything illogical in my presence, i'm going to say something.  For those of you who choose to make excuses for others and not do or say anything about it to fix the problem, do you.  If the people committing crimes or unjust acts against others due to whatever reason doesn't get fixed by those who can fix it then people can react how they please.  Stop trying to force feed people to play nice when the people saying it arent putting even an half-a....effort into fixing anything.  Sit back and make excuses but dont blame those who say whatever and decide to replace respect with fear.   Sort of like the american way.
