Oh god.
[23:10:12]Jason King
There are always going to be social stereotypes and stigmas. Some people just won't change. I try not to get too worked up about it, because it doesn't solve anything unless I put my foot straight in to the mud of it all.
[23:11:23]Jason King
I only have control over me.
[23:11:40]Mightyena
Basis is if you're not livid over it you're not paying attention. If you think people are wrong for being shit, then good.
[23:12:55]Jason King
I know this may sound extremely pacifist of me, but what does anger get you?
[23:13:43]Jason King
I'm just trying to understand both sides. Both sides are angry. And from what I've seen, nothing good has come of it.
[23:13:59]Mightyena
When you see family die through police brutality or have to walk into a store and be followed like you're going to steal because your skin is darker or you don't look 'white'.
[23:14:05]Mightyena
Then I get angry.
[23:14:15]Mightyena
You never experienced it first hand it seems.
[23:15:28]Jason King
No. I've experienced being catcalled and subjected to sexual harassment. I've seen hard times. I've experienced death. It happens everywhere. But getting angry never did anything for me, except stress me out.
[23:15:47]Jason King
It hurts to be angry all the time.
[23:15:58]Mightyena
Oh my god.

okay but when you have holocaust survivors and people who were activists during the civil rights movement supporting mike brown and then KKK members and neo nazi’s supporting the officer you should be able to figure out which side is the right one.
[23:16:03]Mightyena
Oh my god are you stupid.
[23:16:15]Mightyena
I'm physically stepping away.
[23:16:20]Jason King
Wow, straight to the name-calling.
[23:16:53]Jason King
I was trying to have a civil conversation with you, but I suppose that's impossible.
[23:16:54]Milena
[22:58:52]Mightyena
The reason I wanted to be a soldier and then join the police force was to try to help combat this fucking shit
[22:58:59]Mightyena
I would have fucking slaughtered that kid you mentioned
[22:59:11]Mightyena
And before people go telling me 'peace is the best protest' they fucking shot MLK in the face
[22:59:14]Mightyena
dont even shit got me drove as fuck
[22:59:20]Guraena!
I went into work today hoping to avoid the whole conversation of Ferguson because the office is split politically, and of course it erupted into a huge debate.
[22:59:37]Bidoof
my family talked about it over dinner
[23:00:03]Bidoof
you guys know about the 12 year old shot by police in ohiho right
[23:00:15]Bidoof
*ohio
[23:00:15]Kimaru
i think so?
[23:00:25]Mightyena
Tell me about that
[23:00:33]Mightyena
Yeah, Gura. I'm sure it was very political.

12 year old black kid playing in the park with a fake gun
[23:01:25]Bidoof
gets shot by police
[23:01:58]Mightyena
I did hear about this.
[23:02:13]Bidoof
yeah
[23:02:38]Bidoof
gun wasn't even pointed at them and he gets shot
[23:03:06]Mightyena
/rubs hands down face
[23:03:14]Mightyena
White privilege is fucking real.
[23:03:18]Bidoof
yep
[23:03:50]Mightyena
It's present everywhere. White privlege is also hearing about all this shit just through the news and online and never experiencing it on your own life.
[23:05:24]Jason King
I hate hearing all this black/white stuff. I really, really do.
[23:05:52]Mightyena
Well, it's happening.
[23:06:16]Guraena!
I'm white and I totally see white privilege.
[23:06:18]Jason King
It's been happening, and it will probably never die, because people want to fan the flames of segregation.
[23:06:52]Mightyena
It won't ever end. But just because it's been fucking happening does not fucking dampen the importance of it.
[23:07:00]Mightyena
Or how FUCKING LIVID IT FUCKING MAKES ME TO LIVE IN THIS FUCKING LIFE
[23:07:03]Bidoof
history is repeating itself
[23:07:04]Mightyena
So.
[23:07:12]Jason King
Never said it's not important.
[23:07:34]Mightyena
It just got me drove it's so fucking
[23:07:36]Mightyena
Sigh

[23:16:53]Jason King

[23:16:54]Milena
You think too much about yourself, Jason. Of course it's hard for you to understand.
[23:17:10]Jason King
You do not know me. Do not claim to.
[23:17:17]Bidoof
You're not thinking of others who have actually experienced racial discrimination.
[23:17:33]Jason King
I'm not saying any of that!
[23:18:22]Bidoof
Then how hard is it to understand someone would be furious if the justice system failed to convict a murderer who is supposed to "Serve and Protect"?
[23:18:49]Jason King
I'm not saying that you don't have the right to be angry.
[23:19:08]Bidoof
Then keep the comments to yourself.
[23:19:36]Jason King
Wow.
[23:19:41]Kimaru
Okay gusy.
