    Black Lives Matter: Really? Is BLM really concerned about...

    I don't think you mean it this way, but it actually can be offensive to describe crime this way. Yes, back people make up 13% of the population and black people are convicted of more than 13% of crime. However, the vast majority of those 13% have not committed any crime. Think about it this way...

    Chance of another mandatory lockdown in SC at 100%???

    We don't want the country shut down, which is why we're encouraging others to wear masks. It's not that difficult to understand. Either Asians have some sort of genetic immunity to the disease or masks work.

    Chance of another mandatory lockdown in SC at 100%???

    I've disagreed with most of your posts about COVID, but I'm with you on this one. It's true that NY was dealt an extremely tough hand, but to defend their handling the situation is asinine, especially the initial reaction.

    The history of stone mountain is steeped in despicable KKK led racism and the carving is less than 100 years old. Leaving it up would be more akin to ISIS building monuments and then arguing to leave them to avoid "rewriting history". Props to Clemson for doing the right thing.

    TJ Green tweet...

    Gotcha. Sorry for misinterpreting some of your earlier posts in this thread. Many on here, and many I speak to in real life, seem to not be able to acknowledge that white privilege exists because it offends them because they think it means they didn't work hard for what they have or overcome any...

    Then you acknowledge white privilege exists. I actually agree with pretty much everything in your post. If you read up on the history of the police and the criminal justice system (which it sounds like you have), it has pretty much always been used to control marginalized populations...

    Isn't that part of white privilege though? It absolutely does not mean that there aren't certain white people who have had to overcome more obstacles than certain black people, which appears to be what many on here (and many I speak to in person) believe. However, even with all things being...

    If this is true, I wonder how it became an economic issue? I'm sure it had nothing to do with years of systemic racism and white privilege...

    Conspiracy Theories? (GOAT Thread)

    There are likely others that will be proven true. The amount of people it takes to sustain a "conspiracy theory" without it leaking out, especially considering today's digital paper trails and hacking, make it almost impossible for large secrets to be kept forever in my opinion.

    COVID just hit Columbia in a big way

    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/south-carolina-coronavirus-cases.html Here is the actual DHEC site which is where I assume the NY Times is getting their data, but the Times website is easier to navigate and you can check other states...

    COVID just hit Columbia in a big way

    I'm not saying people haven't overreacted, but how many people would need to die from a disease for you to not consider it a "huge joke"?

    This is part of it. I think the other part is when and why something was named. For example, Clemson was named for the man who donated all the land for the university whereas the honors college was named for Calhoun almost 200 years after he died and he has absolutely no connection to it other...

    Huge difference between renaming something that was named in the 80s and renaming a university that was named after the man who donated the land for the university right after he died.

    The amount of false equivalencies in this thread are truly astounding.

    Not even remotely close to the same thing... I'm just gonna assume you're trolling and not dignify your posts like this with any further responses.
