    "We don't reflexively celebrate random or routine white death, make memes of your bleeding corpses, etc. Tell us about this unique obsession. "

    The dozens of "knockout game" and "polar bear hunting" videos up on "worldstarhiphop.com" suggest otherwise.

    Those tweets need to be in a textbook... in a logic 101 textbook as examples of fallacious reasoning, some compound.

    .....so, you can't answer any of them? They are pretty straightforward.

    I'll do one, the first one, not going to waste time on the rest because just realized the guy is an actor. Nothing against actors, I just don't automatically attribute political sagacity to people who make a living dressing up and pretending to be other people.

    1. Doesn't define or legitimize "social justice movement." Persecution of the jews pre WW2 was a "social justice movement." This alone makes the whole tweet irredeemably nebulous other than in a leftist echo chamber where "social justice movement" automatically means "desirable moral or political policy." It doesn't.
    2. Presumes that not participating in this or that "social justice movement" equates to "indifference." It doesn't. For example, if the "social justice movement" in question was "protecting unicorns from bigfoot predation" then not participating in that would not equate to indifference, but rather sanity.
    3. "Indifference" is not ever a "duty" or "heritage," but merely a state of being... indifferent.
    4. Doesn't ask any question or even state a cohesive position for discussion. Basically it's just meaningless arglebargle.

    Says the person who pontificates on a politics board.

    Perhaps you don't know what the word justice means...


    Maybe you don't know what any words mean.

    And another point missed.


    They were tweets to provoke thoughts, but he assumed that people reading them would have a connection to the reality that is the context needed. Apparently your post shows that some people need to have their hands held.

    Your point being? No one expects my posts to be automatically accepted as meaningful just because some sanskrit dude on the internet said them. This guy is to be treated differently why?

    What I know is that the phrase "social justice movement" may as well be "bowel movement" without any definition or context, which I notice neither you, OP, nor the source of the quote offer.

    Are we about to play "rubber and glue?" Seems like that's the level of discussion you are suggesting. No thanks.

    What point was that, that self-important leftist actors are constantly saying dumb things out of their depth? I learned that ages ago, thanks. Jim Carrey, Matt Damon, Arec Baldrin, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and Barbra Streisand have been around a long time.

    mmhhmmm ...hmmm

    His mother is Swedish according to his bio. I had to look him up as I've never heard of him before. Apparently he is an actor who portrays a Doctor on tv. For someone so eager to demonize caucasians, perhaps he should be reminded 50% of his DNA is in fact, caucasian...as his father was African and Seminole (according to the bio)...he is in fact more genetically caucasian than he is African...yet he identifies solely as a "black person."

    Is he aware of the Swedish slave trade? During the raids, the Vikings often captured and enslaved militarily weaker peoples they encountered, but took the most slaves in raids of the British Isles and Slavs in Eastern Europe. Slavic thralls was the origin of the word "slave". This practice lasted in the 6th through 11th centuries until formally abolished in 1335.

    Sweden engaged in a smaller trade of African slaves; this happened during the 17th and 18th centuries, around the time Swedish overseas colonies were established in North America (1638 ) and in Africa (1650). It remained legal until 1813

    Mr. Williams is in fact 50% Swedish..but apparently hides behind his "blackness," his "African roots" when it is politically expedient to do so.
