The insane social justice thread

[actaeon277]

Free speech is all well and good, but it should not be defended at the expense of minority groups.

Umm, I think this person doesn't understand the basic concept.

Horrible teens are still doing racist promposals and this may be the worst one yet

I don't ever remember questions like that before.
And, I don't believe it's any of the gov'ts business.

Democrats. Trying to work as hard at losing elections as the Republicans work at losing elections.

Looks like WSJ got caught doctoring content

https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/6329h0/evidence_that_wsj_used_fake_screenshots/

This is HUGE. Advertisers like Toyota, Coca-cola, and Starbucks pulled ads because of this bull**** hitpiece.

I hope all three of them, and Google, sue for libel and defamation. I want to see the WSJ ****ing burn.

Nope. https://heatst.com/culture-wars/you...ll-street-journal-of-falsifying-evidence/amp/

WSJ is right.

WSJ is right.

Full disclosure: Heat Street is owned by Dow Jones, which is also the parent company of the Wall Street Journal.

Not necessarily. The retraction was because the claim wasn't 100% solid, and could have been wrong. Not that it was wrong.

It's possible the videos had the ads, but the WSJ (much like their previous hit-pieces) went directly to the advertisers rather than attempt any communication with the people involved. Still cost Google money in the end, as well as the content creators. So it may turn out that this WSJ article wasn't faked, but that doesn't make it any less SJW'y.

Other YouTubers re-created the situation, showing that it's absolutely possible no ads should have ran alongside a video claimed for copyright content. So the lesson here is... claims like this shouldn't be made without being 100% sure. Klein saw an oddity and didn't dig into it further before getting a video out on it.

I'm still trying to wrap my heads around this.
Do these people just not think that the rules could then be used AGAINST them?
Or, they don't care, as long as their "side" is on top..

No. No, they do not.

My favorite was... I think the "freedom bus" one... where the people claimed "Words, in this case, are violence."

No. Not now. Not ever. Words are not violence.

Woman 'sick of fancy white people' arrested in hammer attack at gas station

Do "fancy white people" even go to gas stations?

 

[jamil]

If you were white, you'd know that white people never fill their own gas tanks. Even poor whites pay minorities to do it for them using their wal-mart privilege points.

Gosh, I hate the term "reverse discrimination".

Racial discrimination is discrimination against another person's race. To say that there can only be discrimination by a majority race against minority races is utter nonsense.

If we want to take the words literally, "reverse discrimination" would be when a person discriminates against his or her own race. For example, Rachel Dolezol could be said to have reverse discrimination in the literal sense because she hates whites, and she is white. The white social justice warriors can be said to commit reverse discrimination when they spew hatred for others just because they're white.

Follow-up: Uber bans rider for life over threat to accuse driver of rape

Uber passenger threatened to accuse a male driver of rape to get her way. Now she's banned from using the service.

I'd prefer to see her prosecuted.
