Like I thought. Just a debate pervert.

So your victims are hypothetical
Nice disingenuous framing.
Like I said, it's very simple. The only reason we're still talking about this is because you're obsessed with writing walls of text to shadowbox with.
What is wrong with signalling virtue?
The emphasis is on vapid. Do you really not understand why people respond negatively to someone interjecting with some hardly-relevant comment just to make themselves look good?
you said that volume =/= value. To me it seems you don’t like when people try to be social and expressive, at least around certain topics.
That was specifically about you saying that you had "given a lot". Just because it's "a lot" doesn't mean it's valuable.
You haven’t elaborated on what racial injustice looks like to you, you’re just gate keeping other people’s definitions.
Actually I haven't done either. Because it's not particularly relevant to my point.
Those other definitions of racial injustice are vapid
I didn't say the definition was vapid. I said the act was vapid. Again, a wall of text about something I didn't say or do.
Please elaborate on who the victims are of that comment you originally responded to.
Again: at best, the people who have to rifle through those inane comments, and at worst, the people who's actual problems are diminished because the signal-to-noise ratio is out of whack.
It's very simple: I was calling out the person I replied to for having a kneejerk reaction to seeing an article where a black person was arrested.
At best it's vapid virtue-signaling, at worst it diminishes the real examples of systemic racial injustice that happen all too often.
You then chose to jump in, assume my views, and then chastise your own assumptions about me.
Of course I'm going to defensively insist that you point out examples of what you're accusing me of. Why should I bother engaging with all your strawmen?
Volume =/= value.
It's clear you have no clue what my actual take or position is here and just want to post endless walls of preachy text.
Please engage with me instead of whatever shadow-boxing you're doing or disengage.
does not warrant complete dismissal of race and racism as objective social conditions
When did I advocate for that?
You seem more preoccupied with racism than I am.
How so?
I think I saw another comment where someone was talking about their favorite flavour of ice cream instead of about racism in America -- shouldn't you be recentering the conversation on that? I'm sure you can string together a coherent take about how the ice cream industry is racist.
Here in the real world, any time we see a black person we immediately start spouting off about racism. They love it.
Lol, and now you're gonna do that debate pervert thing where you must have the last word so you'll just keep repeating that phrase.
Do it. Get that last word. Walk away with something.
