"That's racist."

"It may involve a race, but it's not racist."

"That's why you said it involved that race!"

Bizarre logic.

Offensive was the wrong word. I meant that it's not racist. It's unhealthy that one would be offended by acknowledging the existence of gang violence.

    I mean, most gang activity comes from young black men, but that does not mean it's racist to talk about it. I think talking about whether to include or exclude "gang violence" from a conversation about mass shootings is appropriate and not offensive in the slightest.

    Kirk represents the politics of almost half the USA. He wasn't even radical. This group cleanly won a democratic election and will, especially after today, probably sweep 2026.

    If you think you're justified killing a democratic majority/plurality, you should entertain the idea that you're actually not the good anti-fascists you think you are.
