I'm tired of people telling me that the desire for me and my families death/harm is a "political opinion"

There shouldn't even BE discussions about this. There shouldn't be any "opinions "or ground to stand on for/against targeted tyranny towards a people. It shouldn't exist period.I'm tired of people telling me that the desire for me and my families death/harm is a "political opinion"
Don't spin that argument my way
It shouldn't. But as you can see well meaning people fall for it easily.
That's been their game. Can't call people ******s and wear white hoods anymore. So they came up with code words like "nationalism", and "un-American" while calling that shyt "politics" so they can play the victim and dumb assess like @winb83 can defend them.

Depends whether you win or loose, from 30-40 games
People are acting like he told women to stay in the kitchen.
And gregs made more than a few abortion jokes that I know people would find offensive. Tim's the only one off the top of my head that I don't think I've ever heard say anything that people would find offensive
The jokes come from the same place. He might as well have said it. On a day where women were trying to raise awareness about the misogynistic portions of American culture. He decides unprovoked to disparage their efforts using one of the stereotypes they are fighting against.
Like I said, I don't think it's the most insensitive joke ever told. But he knew it was controversial when he said it. Then he gets backlash and wanna act surprised. That's cac privilege 101 and he deserves no support or defending.
I don't know about that. But it wasn't on abortion day purposely tormenting abortion recipients.

Well girlfriend
like I said the joke doesn't work over the internet in today's climate definitely with conservative viewpoints (which I sure he tweeted far worse)
Saying it amongst female colleagues who know you and can tell you are joking, I don't see the problem.
Personally I think a lot of millennials are far too sensitive and sheltered from the harsh reality and ironically enough I feel a number of those young white liberals tend to be unconsciously bigoted/racist towards the ones they "fight" for (look at NeoGAF)
I expressed my thoughts on the situation and I don't necessarily disagree with anyone that has a problem with the tweet but I feel the reaction is a bit overblown.
What reaction?Well girlfriend

Nobody is marching and boycotting KF.
Nobody is picketing or calling for his head.
People just told him it was a dumb, insensitive, unfunny joke made at the worst possible time.
He's the one that made it a huge deal.
shyt woulda blown over had he just apologized

Going by your replies in this thread you are coming off as upset. I'm sure you will reply back saying you aren't mad yadda yadda, but you clearly want to argue seeing how you only focused on "I feel the reaction is a bit overblown."
this whole topic is water under the bridge to me.

It's easy for you to say that cause you weren't the target.
Stereotypes enable actions.
If you are peddling or defending stereotypes, then you are promoting the negative effects.
"Stop being mad" "it's just a joke/opinion" "outrage culture"
Are all arguments thrown around when a black person speaks out about these cacs fukkery.
Don't understand why you'd chose their side.
You out here Cac'n ?

If that's what you got out of my replies in this thread
there's no more reason for me to reply to you.Just curious, do you feel the same when black comedians make jokes about white people?
White stereotypes are usually not real life damaging.
Making a joke about white people eating mayo has no negative affect on their lives.
They eat mayo. They still go home with their privilege.
Women supposedly being nagging and argumentative negatively affects their lives everyday.
White guy like Colin moriarty owns/manages the media company, he pays less or doesn't even hire the girl cause she might be "problematic"
Two totally different scenarios.
Are you white?
