Overreaction

[Ibdancin]

So you do or you don’t think F Lovett was offended by the tweet Bc of “racism”?

Just trying to figure out exactly where you stand on that specific point.

Clearly speaking:

- If Lovett is offended, he is WRONG. Period. Full stop. That needs to be explained to him by people who claim to love him. Why? Because it's the TRUTH and the old saying the TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE". He is bound by the emotions so much that he can not receive TRUTH. AND THAT is harmful to his whole being.

- There is no, "well that can be seen as racist". The totality of the tweet, the context of the tweet had nothing to do with race, but with marriage. To allow this to be painted as racism destroys a man's life in many ways who did NOT do what he IS being accused of.

- The desire for some to straddle the fence on this is even MORE harmful to people and society at large. You are teaching people that it was BOTH racist and NOT racist and it can not be both. That does not reconcile people and help anybody. It does that opposite. It creates divide by legitimizing a falsehood and the only person actually HARMED is LEACH due to it. Was Lovett harmed by saying it was racist? No. Does he benefit as a person from people saying to him it was? NO, because it wasn't. Does it harm Leach? In every sense of the word.... YES. All over something that WAS NOT racist.

Leach needs to stop with the silly *** tweets and spend his time doing something else. Do I think it's racist? no but in 2020 it doesn't matter, people look for things to get offended by so they can get attention for themselves on social media. I have a daughter with down-syndrome, and I hear the R word a lot. Do I get offended, not if the intent isn't present. If the "intent" is there then you and I will have a big problem if the R word is used towards her or others...Leach had no intention of anything racist...time to move on...

AH so we punish the innocent man and take away his right because of people looking to be offended? This is why we are where we are as a nation. We are so scared to call things out due to it offending people that we allow new norms to be created until enough people accept the new norm

You are literally saying that it was not racist, but due to WRONG emotions, we should tell Leach to shut up.

How does that help our nation?

That people were offended by his tweet says more about them than him. There was nothing wrong with his tweet. It wasn't even "insensitive". It was a joke. It was an old white woman joking about wanting to kill her husband. There were no racial overtones, no racial undertones, no racial inference, no racial context, no racial suggestion, no racial intent. Just a very vocal minority of idiots virtue signaling over the fact that she was knitting a noose.

Cancel culture warriors really need to make a list of **** that most of us normal people need to avoid mentioning so that we can live our lives without fear of lighting the outrage fuse.

The list:
1. Everything.

Yep.

So why didn't he just STFU and move on ? If you're naive enough to believe this all about a totally harmless tweet...

And for the record. How did none of these sensitive, woke football players never see anything "racist" in Moorehead's treatment of KT ? Now that even had me wondering "WTF" ?

Insensitive to the undeniable fact that when a lot of people in this country see a noose, they are immediately offended because of what that symbolized 60 years ago. You may say, well that was a long time ago, and it was. But I don't see a lot of posts with swastikas either.

Why the special pass? Do we want true equality or not? It was a terrible thing.. just as inter-racial violent crimes today are a terrible thing.

He did not post a photo of just a noose.

He posted a complete thought.


For your own knowledge. According to the Tuskegee Institute, 4,743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968 in the United States, including 3,446 African Americans and 1,297 whites. Key word here is lynching. Nobody posted anything about lynching. If he had, then you have a point. A very VALID point. He did not.

More so, historians use the range of 40,000 to 100,000 based on public records of hangings (white people) in about the same length of time. And that is just in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Switzerland occurring during the years 1580-1650.
