Four Minneapolis officers fired after death of black man part II

I think he forgot a decimal 1.3 or .13?

I can't believe you guys put this much effort into something he said, it is always rubbish to me anyways.

Well anyways, carry on.

Oh, the inclusion of a decimal is racister than if you leave it off. Counter-intuitive as it seems, it's like a multiplier.

decimals are part of the oppressive math industry that is here only to hold down certain groups.

Having to do math always oppressed me.

Calculus was invented by racist colonialist white Europeans and should be banned permanently.
The fact that I never understood it PROVES it is racist, or something...

That's what they would have you believe. Next you'll be telling me Elvis invented Rock 'N Roll.

But, do you not find the word games to be patronizing?
As for colored, the reason I brought that up is because of the NAACP, which... If it's offensive why wouldn't they change the name?

I'm legitimately interested in the dynamics at play here.
Me personally, I have some things I could be labeled various slurs for, and I don't really take offense to much if anything. It's all in the inflection, tone, and intent.

It's anachronism. Like the old Negro Leagues. "Offensive," is based more on intent than the word itself. If you're saying things because you think it's funny to say so, or you intend to be offensive, then you will probably get yourself into trouble with people who recognize it as such.

Maybe the 13 original colonies?

This is why code speak is obnoxious. Hey kut, congrats, you just dropped your first dog whistle, because no one knows what you mean lol.

Someone earlier figured it out. I'm surprised... actually, no I'm not. But anyways, I've read it enough times on INGO about how "13% of the population..." blah, blah, blah.

Oh. Maybe I’m onto something here. It’s Kut so it has to do something with racism, so I googled “white nationalist 13” and the first hit was from the ADL. Some group that calls themselves arian circle and one of the symbols they use is 13. So first and third letters mean AC.

I don’t ever recall INGO talking about them. But I don’t read every post of every thread.

Kut, if that’s it, that 13 clue is really out there.

Ironically, I bet his views on “Q” aren’t very pleasant... but some of the posts make me wonder if the left has a version of “Q”. I’ve heard people calling the “Blue anon” recently, so maybe that would be fitting.

No, actually "offensive" is based solely on how effectively the left thinks their ideological opponent's words might be weaponized against them.

I think you were baited into responding since you seemed reluctant to do so.

Kut likes to toss out obscure references that only he remembers from time to time then just sits back and watches to see if anyone can guess what he’s talking about.

It’s all part of the game.

Oh noes Jamil, you did it. You expanded blame beyond the 13. I don't get the reference "13".

Actually, I really did just accidentally leave off the % symbol.

Yeah, whatever that means.

 

[buckwacker]

Yeah, whatever that means.

Typical, well thought out, reasoned response. I'd expect no less.

I don’t spend my time thinking about things that make no sense. Again, I’m not a mind reader.

Funny how you had people running in circles with a simple typo.

Okay. Now I'm going to have to go back to regain the context of the comment in the first place. And I'm actually a little relieve it wasn't the ADL thing. That would have been disappointing.

Actually I think he likes it when he can get everyone to run around in circles going wtf is he talking about?
