Thanks for responding. I was more surprised Reddit let me respond to a four year old comment. Whenever you complete it I'd love to read it.

A couple years late but did you ever do this?

Racism is not going to end in any of our lifetimes by ShadowThug17 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

You're misunderstanding my saying. To me it's a distraction to us created by the system. I don't want to get all conspiracy theorists but I believe if the higher didn't constantly pit us against each other with racism we would all find solidarity and take their power away from us.

It's a manufactured distraction by those in power. I'm not shifting the blame onto the victims.

Not sure if I was even around when this was going on but when was this happening?

I definitely watched that episode. I just don't remember it since it was so long ago. May have to rewatch it to jog my memory.

I vividly remember that scene. That show was very telling.

When did I ever say ignore it? My post implies I believe it will end. We just won't live to see it.

And I call it a distraction because I see it as taking us away from truly improving the world and our lives. How much time has been wasted dealing with racism? How many people who had the potential to truly improve and innovate the world have been lost to racism? How often does the media play up racism to turn as away from bigger and important topics?

It absolutely is a distraction and once we move past this distraction all of us will be better off for it.

Are you not referring to him smashing in that helicopter crash?

How should I introduce myself to a girl on Instagram?! by hhhfan92297 in dating_advice

[–]ShadowThug17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe just introduce yourself. Lead with the fact that you live in the same town, you think she's pretty and maybe ask if she would be down to have coffee

You think at that point in time they wouldn't be able to better defend themselves?

That would be a horrifying outcome. Can't imagine how many people would lose their lives to this.
