The status quo in this country is to already treat black people as the boy who cried wolf. I don’t think the takeaway from this story should be we become more skeptical of racism.

The thing is, nobody is ever there to prop up the victims of racism. If the default state is "we need to wait for more info", meanwhile there is a person who was a victim of racism waiting around for justice that most of the time doesn't come, because that's America. Skepticism only works as a benefit to one party.

I always like the "But statistics . . !" argument.

"POC rarely lie about racial attacks."  Well if he says aliens are responsible for the colony of gerbils up his butt, racist or not, I'm not gonna think it's the full truth.

The problem is... When you demand empathy/sympathy always over skepticism. It does become that in many people's eyes. It becomes a more binary choice. I personally think skepticism is a very healthy thing. But when it causes friction with people who have strong emotion you're going to feel some heat.

I thought people had this shit figured out decades ago...

. If that's the way you look at black folks who inevitably by statistical chance will inevitably get it wrong every once in awhile, well then, are you really helping anything up there on your high horse?

God damn, it's not statistics to say an odd event is an odd event.  If a meteor lands near my house saying "Well, statistically that doesn't happen," doesn't make the event any less real.

Quote from: nepenthe
So yeah, sorry. If I see something that- to me as a black person- looks racist-y, and your reaction directly to me is to immediately go "Now hold on, let's think about this," you're not really endearing yourself to me. Of course this doesn't mean I can't be wrong. But me being wrong subsequently doesn't preclude you from taking away the wrong lesson, which is that the lack of skepticism in these issues is not born from some bloodthirsty desire to see random blue collar folks ruined.

As a corollary, being skeptical of a suspect situation doesn't make white people "bloodthirsty," to see a black person persecuted.  And it's not endearing to me (an who gives a shit what you think about me) if you look at a suspect situation and declare "anyone who wants more information instead of instantly judging is racist."

Are we going to pretend Jussie Smollett doesn’t exist?

Maybe the best way to destroy the “Boy who cry wolf” argument is not acting hyper defensive when an actual case of this occurs?

I think it's a mistake to conflate the people who were reacting against the woman in this story but were otherwise maintaining their composure with internet trolls. Nobody in this conversation (or on Era) was advocating behavior akin to calling this woman a "racist whore" in her dms. Even going there in this conversation is kind of besides the point.

My approach to sapience is pretty much duck testing: if it behaves as if it's sapient, treat it as sapient, rights included; otherwise you're probably engaging in slavery.

Furthering this fancy is the idea that plausible deniability concerning racism is magically a wholly separate from the discussion of how this specific Chipotle incident fits into the narrative concerning "The Mob Mentality™." No one went after her because they perceived her cooking skills to be subpar or something else equally frivolous. Absolutely no one cared about this woman until they perceived her to be perpetuating a significant issue that actually exists and has harmed millions over centuries. That was the source of the reaction. "This woman appears to be racist." And what else is the reflexive reaction to racism supposed to be? Storied neutrality? Fence-sitting? That's for people who don't get affected by these issues.

I'd have less of a problem with this logic if it was applied more broadly, but I know for a fact these same people were not giving Jews that perceived antisemitism from Omar or the Woman's March people the same level of respect and were right there attacking another marginalized group.  These people have blinders on and only care about their own myopic worldview.

If the story were true, what difference does it make that people mistook her for white? Everyone engages in anti-Black behavior.

Two, she should sue the customers for slander(?).

Third, CNN will call out the reactionary mob who's lives are more likely than not encumbered by racism.... and on the other hand are on year 4 of giving a billion dollar platform to an openly racist administration and their cronies. You can't have it both ways fucksticks, you're part of the problem.

And that's unfortunate. But what you're asking people to do here is not just police words, but tone. The situation as originally presented was maddening. It's understandable that people would use harsh language and not be polite about their distaste. It's not understandable to use this situation as an excuse to attack this woman on any other grounds (her gender, her race, etc). That's the only distinction I could really argue from my position. And in my personal life it's what I live by. If you mistreat me, or someone who looks like me, based on our race? Oh, I'm going to talk all sorts of dog shit about you.

Is it fucked up that this woman had vitriol aimed at her when she ultimately didn't deserve it? Absolutely. But that's not the fault of the people who reacted the way they did because this situation looked like countless other racist scenarios black people have seen play out and actually weren't pranks. It's the fault of the fuckboys who knowingly took advantage of that.

Also, is not the whole point of a moderator to “tone police”?

1) Keeping in mind that this ultimately was a prank, I think it's fair to point out that 9 times out of 10 there isn't more to the story when it comes to these situations. So calling for that tends to read as dismissive at best, and worst a clear signal to search for the thing that will allow people to craft a "See!? He was no angel!" defense.

2) I'm not the all-seeing-mod who knows the story behind every ban. But banning for skepticism tends to only happen when you're skeptical in a way that dismisses concern for actual racism/sexism/homophobia/what-have-you that actually occurs.

1) It was just pranks bro!

2) We don't ban for skepticism, we add some other bullshit to it too!

Quote from: Baby Killer/ old white lady beater
People's reactions in any given video concerning racism are always based on a combination of video evidence and previous experience and/or knowledge based on the specific situation. It's not the ability to give a reasoning for one's gut reaction that is in contention. It's the fact that this situation happened to fall in naysayers' favor is- unwittingly or otherwise- being used to handwave black people's instinctive reactions to our lived experiences as nothing more than a vicious mob mentality.

Quote from: Royalan
The issue that I have with your position is the same that I've had since the beginning. You're asking for me to police tone, and I can't do that. (I'm speaking personally here). Sustained harassment? Yes. Harassment campaigns? Yes. Gendered/racist attacks? Of course. Continuing to harass her even after the truth comes out. I'll personally do the dragging. But you're asking me to fault people for acting in a way that would have been seen as rational by most people if this weren't a ruse.

I'm capable of doing multiple things at once. I can feel genuine sympathy for this woman while also understanding the people who were responding to this situation as it was deceptively presented to them. I can do both of those things while condemning troll-like behavior because I always do. And I can do all of that while placing ALL the blame where I truly feel it belongs: on the fuckboys who knowingly manipulated this situation in the first place.

What I won't do, though, is add extra layers of skepticism to situations like this when most of the time its been demonstrated that that skepticism is only used as a cover to dismiss actual acts of racism and bigotry. I saw those boys as victims when I initially watched the video because, guess what, they usually are.

Is totally rational to harass someone for perceived racist behavior and not bothering to apologize if they we’re framed.

Quote
If your immediate and/or continued response to black people who had an understandable emotional reaction to an incident that appeared racist is to finger-wag at them about neutrality and objectivity, then you're really only giving cover to the "real" grifters who would indeed take this incident as a feather in their cap.

Why do you want to kill white babies so much, Nephente?

Quote from: Nepenthe
You can blame right-wing cretins and even the left's insistence that debate always magically exposes the truth, for the "demonization of critical thinking" by allowing bad-faith actors to use plausible deniability as a cover to gaslight minority issues, social justice topics, and outright science. Compound this on top of the fact that America refuses to seriously address systemic grievances- and thus the collective populace indoctrinated in its ideals deserves no benefit of the doubt- and eventually the unheard are going to shake and maneuver within their means.

So yeah, sorry. If I see something that- to me as a black person- looks racist-y, and your reaction directly to me is to immediately go "Now hold on, let's think about this," you're not really endearing yourself to me. Of course this doesn't mean I can't be wrong. But me being wrong subsequently doesn't preclude you from taking away the wrong lesson, which is that the lack of skepticism in these issues is not born from some bloodthirsty desire to see random blue collar folks ruined. If that's the way you look at black folks who inevitably by statistical chance will get it wrong every once in awhile, well then, are you really helping anything up there on your high horse?

You're just projecting everything that happened into the framework of your own biases again.

There's some very simple shit that was wrong in the original thread. The 6th post in the thread is you asking why the entire staff wasn't fired instead of just the manager.Then there's the exchange where someone mentioned there clearly seemed to be history between the customers and the employee based on how they were talking (100% right btw), to which you responded "The investigation revealed that it wasn't them". Purely false information, which you thought you read in this article http://www.startribune.com/chipotle-fires-st-paul-restaurant-manager-retrains-staff-after-viral-video/500733081/ even though it says nothing of the sort.

If the moderators are the ones picking up their pitchforks first and spreading bad information then you can't expect much more from the average poster.

You do realise that people other than Era members read these boards, right? Resetera gets a lot of traffic from people interested in games even if they're not posters or agree with the political leanings of the site. There are even saddos that relish in pointing out what the latest thing we're "outraged" at is.
oof, big yikes if true

Absolutely grotesque. People need to clapback on these alt-right fools, stifle them at every turn, dry up their sources of income and deplatform with continuous unrelenting rigor until these nazi scum are panhandling on the streets.

I'd never even heard of him until now. Sifting through this thread makes me wonder why he's still around.
In one of his videos he pretended to be a Nazi killing Jews.

It means that the people who largely pay for him have a big source of somewhat dispensible cash that he manipulates out of them by constantly pretending to be dire straights and begging for money.

Wow ERA you can't let go of identity politics ever, can you ?

I lived in socialism. It sucked ass. How about you?

Uh-oh  :P

Edit: People immediately backed down "well I'm saying socialism but I meant strong social democracy, not Marxism-Leninism". You're no fun ERA :(

Venezuela is dictatorship predicated on oil and gas exports. Its situation has literally zero to do with socialism

:rejoice

Quote
That's like saying that North Korea is a democratic republic because it's in the name. It's specious reasoning.

If it talks like a Marxist-Leninist, invokes Marxism-Leninism in every speech and document, and seize Kulak property like a Marxist-Leninist than it has obviously nothing to do with Socialism, you shitlord.

Own that shit a little bit you ERA petits bourgeois.
