I did not suggest what happened to him was RIGHT
(which would qualify as suggesting otherwise). I
said it was PREDICTABLE.
No. Your "extreme analogy" was to illustrate your "point" that he should have exercised "common sense." This is a form of victim blaming and is wrong. It does indicate you think he shouldn't have done what he did. This is "suggesting otherwise" because if he has the right to do something, he shouldn't be shamed or criticized or hurt for it. He shouldn't have to fear for it or operate by your nonsensical "common sense." Second of all, I labeled my analogy as "extreme". Perhaps
you missed that, or once again maybe it's just that your
reading comprehension skills are lacking. I used an
extreme example to illustrate my point clearly.
No, I did not miss your "extreme" nor your sadly ignorant point. Once again, this might be WRONG. But it is PREDICTABLE.
This is the concept of idealism vs realism. The way the
world is versus the way the world ought to be. Perhaps
this type of conversation is above your head though.
I'm well aware of what constitutes an ideal and what constitutes reality. Here's reality: he was within his rights to do exactly what he did, he is now better for doing exactly what he did, and you suggesting that he settle for the status quo and suggesting that he made a mistake (because his immediate reality is filled with ignorant people) is not helpful. It's stupid, it blames the reaction he received on him, as if that's something he should have been concerned about. Your comments shame a victim and you're asinine for it.In no world real or imagined was that something he should have been concerned about. Or the parents. In the real world, you fight the dickwagons who hurt you or your son. And in the ideal world, it never even happens.
To reiterate the point of my previous criticism: the illogical behavior / lack of common sense is completely on the part of the system. There ought not be a suggestion other than "fix the broken-ass system." Don't tell people what to do on the basis of a racist and dehumanizing system. You're perpetuating that shit.
