I'll end it with that. I don't want a Linden to come in and close this topic. This has gone far off topic as it is.

If you don't see the strawman in "If someone came to your door to ask you for a donation to help cancer research, would you shout "No! ALL DISEASES MATTER!" . . . ?" Then i urge you to look up what a strawman argument is. What you are doing here is distorting my initial point by, in this case, insinuating that i would not give to cancer charities because there are other diseases. If you honestly don't see that, then i can't but slightly wonder if you're just trolling or have been doing it for so long that you don't even see it anymore. And by reading "Well, you have access to Google and the internet, I presume". I think i can make my mind up about that. I hoped to have a mature interaction with you. Anyway, once more let me really really really clarify my point to you, because so far it flew over your head like a 747 at cruising altitude with you on ground level. I am telling you that the way BLM and a lot of people in the black community in general act towards others is not helping their case. Lets not forget, i live in this community, i see it happen every single day. Those numbers you show are at the surface very alarming, yes. It would seem that way. But the massive elephant in the room is never addressed. There are massive problems within the community itself. Again, i see it every day, but it then get excused with words like "lower socio-economic status". Please give me a break with that. It slightly angers me the fact you just rehash all the internet buzzwords without actually knowing what is going on in the community itself. Candace Owens put it very well once and look how she got attacked over it. Its pathetic. The black community needs to stop blaming others for their problems and start acting like normal people. I honestly don't care if anyone here reading this flips their lid over this, i live it, i see it, i know what i'm talking about and i'm sorry Scylla, but people like you look silly in my eyes if you think you can rehash internet words and think those are factual things. There is problems in the black community, big ones. This is by definition why there are more arrests and more killings. This is NOT the police fault in general. Yes, you have bad apples with the police, of course you do. I'm not naive to not know that. But you can not go "police bad", "racism", "black lives matter". Here is what i see: the black community uses the word racism as a weapon. The number of times i've been called racist here in SL by back people is pathetic while they don't know i'm mixed race, it's not something i typically advertise because i don't want to use it as a hall-pass/excuse/weapon/etc. It is only logical that people will eventually become distant to blacks because the racist word is always being thrown out there as a weapon. This is an example that is being used over and over again (and there are many): A black person goes for a job interview unsuitable for the job, a white person goes for the same interview and is qualified and gets hired. The black person screams racism. How is this helping equality?

I did address your point. And i will do again, pay attention this time: the way these problems are dealt with, is the wrong way to do it. Everybody attacks everybody. This is not the solution to equality. BLM should have been called ALM from the start in my opinion, bringing forth their aim, being everyone has the same rights and matters equally. It's almost amusing but sad at the same time how you want to dance around that. I would love to see some citations of your research and facts you claim to have seen "on the internet". And i mean actual verifiable facts. I'm not dismissing you have them, i just like to see them so i can see for myself what you are referring to. This is a strawman argument if i ever saw one: I am not shooting (you) the messenger. I think i made that plain. I'm not sure how you take away from what i said that i'm attacking you. I'm absolutely not attacking you. I am urging you to educate you about the subject and all its avenues though. If you want to see that as an attack, then you choose it to be that way. I know in today's world everyone has to be handled with bubble wrap, jazzhands and all that other BS, I'm sorry, i'm not that way. I speak my mind. If that is offencive, you took it, it was never given. Who's saying that my opinion in this matter is "the ultimate authority"? Where is that coming from, other then you insinuating that? So to recap once more, There is racism in the world, but an organisation that is racist towards the race they claim is racist towards them is idiotic and counter productive.

I am wondering the exact same thing about you kiddo. My point was plain and simple. Luna here talking about equality while having a BLM logo. In case you must know, i am mixed race and i despise that organisation. It does absolutely nothing for the black community. In fact it damages it, badly! I am on the front row watching it all happen. BLM has put a bad taste in many people's mouths. Just watch recent history. I've tried to voice my opinion about that many times and pleaded with BLM members to not attack other people because then they do exactly what they claim to stop. And i'm not talking about it happening online like a silly keyboard warrior, i'm talking real life. Guess what happens when a mixed race (black dad, white mom) tried to reason with BLM members... Just have a guess before you read on... I get called a traitor and not "true black". So please spare me your stupid silly buzzwords you heard on the internet thinking it makes you look woke as heck. It makes you look uninformed about what is really going on. As i said, your fancy buzzwords that you learned from the internet are happening, you have real royal idiots in the world. but it's not as bad as you so desperately want it to be. I don't know how old you are, and i'm really not interested, but i do strongly urge you to educate yourself a little better in the worlds history and hopefully come to the conclusion that we live in the best times since the beginning of human history. Having said that, there is still a lot of work to be done. But fighting fire with fire, as is going on now every single day, is not the solution. That was my entire point about ALL lives matter, and trust me, an awful lot of BLM members and supporters have their heads so far up their own asses that they can't see that. they claim to be sick and tired of the bad situation. but who's creating it? Honestly, have the balls to unbiasedly do some serious research, and that includes actually talking to BLM members in real life. Then come back to me. EDIT: It is not a dog whistle at all. You are making that assumption without seeing what i'm saying. Again, very telling. Its an annoyance i have to deal with often.

Those things happen, yes. I find it telling from you that you seem to assume that i don't see those things. I totally do, it happens. What's your point?

If it tells you that i don't judge people be how they look or what the color of their skin is, then good, you got my point.

Interesting statement. One question though. How triggered would you get if i agree with inclusiveness and say ALL lives matter?

So since the beta has expired and no word of current developments, i thought i'd poke my head in here a sec. I saw the response to Katarin's jira feature request. The lindens answered: @Alexa Linden added a comment - 03/Aug/20 12:54 PM Hello, and thank you for your feature request. Blalblablalbavla... We consider a number of factors: Is this change possible? Will it increase lag? (You have to be kidding me, right?) Will it break existing content? Is it likely that the number of residents using this feature will justify the time to develop it? Blablablalba.... This particular suggestion, unfortunately, cannot be tackled at this time. However, we regularly review previously deferred suggestions when circumstances change or resources become available. We are grateful for the time you took ...blablabla preset thank you text blablabla... Deal Lindens, I hate to bash you guys, i really don't like it and i defend you guys often in group chats when something goes wrong and you guys are being blamed for everything and the end of the world, but cooooooooooommmeeee.... oooooonnnneeehhh!! What the hell are you guys doing? I know you guys read these forum posts, at least one of you does. A lot of people are missing the crossfading disable option and here you decide "nope, not gonna give it to you". As mentioned before, nobody asked for your EEP thing, its badly made (see my earlier rant) I'm a freelance programmer RL and i'm really sorry to say this now, but if i come up with that kind of thing as i described earlier, i'm going to be on what you would call "food stamps" And what the heck is up with this group chat lag? You state on the grid status page for days now you've identified what it is but it'll take some time. What is it? Is it a dead mouse in a server rack somewhere and y'all are scared to go and get it? I'm sorry but i'm afraid you guys are starting to put things in a handbasket... If you know what i mean...

i should have grown wheels instead of legs so i would not need a car... should should should is not relevant, it never is. That is what i have been trying to say for hours now. Something in your brain is programmed to block that and frankly i've tried and i'm now giving up. Peace out.

citation needed. Point out where you got that.

Proving my point, you see what you want to see.

Please... What "sources" have you put forward so far? CNN, MSNBC, Huffpost, The guardian... "media" that have been called out several times over for twisting the truth and outright lying to its viewers/readers. The link i posted, together with the follow up gyazo from the interview with Larry King clearly show that he uses this hand gesture often. You (and the "media") jumping on that because its a disabled person is fairly pathetic and weak.

No he was not. In this link > https://i.gyazo.com/e56a2ce76a3c0440625915e51b8c96de.mp4 He makes fun of himself using the same gesture. You're seeing what you want to see and what the "media" tells you to see, and you soak it up, like those mushy kid-brains you mentioned earlier.

Here is Trump doing that exact same arm-thrashing act in the 2005 Larry King interview @Arielle Popstar pointed out, thanks for that. https://i.gyazo.com/e56a2ce76a3c0440625915e51b8c96de.mp4 So again, do your research before blindly believing "media"
