this just about sums you up.The problem is not ppl supporting these ppl financially on an internet site but for some reason you can't see that. The lack of evidence has no real bearing on whether or not a person should or should not support someone if they want to.
but

That's called pushing the goalposts back.Ididn't wantmade my own distinctionor ask for one.I specifically told youwhat the case is and then you brought up a different situation.you can't call them all racist. i said either way its a double standard, because they have no proof, so i can. You shift on not enough proof, so now im telling you they actually posted along with their contributions so you know without a doubt at least some are racist . i said if their names were out too, we would know who those racists are. you then shifted it an to an issue of the legality of free speech and donorship.
We weren't talking about those ppl.
which ppl is that? the people who donated money or the people who donated and left racist messages? to me theres no distinction in their racism, but you need to see proof or are trying distinguish racists from non racist donors on the basis of who left a message.
like i said, i think theyre all racists, but the only ones that can be proven are the ones that posted.What you believe isn't good enough.i already told you how i believe that the only they are donating is because of a double standard on innocent until proven guilty.
and here it is the flat out denial. if theyre donating because they think he's innocent, they have no proof. if theyre donating because they think the victim is guilty, they have no proof. either way its a double standard and its racist. telling me its not good enough is just dismissing what im saying.
TYour stupid sarcastic double standard has nothing to do with a double standard of innocent until proven guilty. That's not what I'm talking about.You asked me a stupid sarcastic double standard question about black men being criminals and thugs for doing "whatever" and posting pics of the middle finger with a "right?" at the end. That's a stupid question, it had to be sarcastic unless you're trying to pretend you know anything about my previous posting history that would agree this and it was a double standard question becauseyou tried to imply that it's about rights when white ppl say something racist but it's not for black ppl. That whole question was uncalled for and a waste.You can think what you want about me but your assumptions and bias aint gonna fly here. You want to fit me in one definition and it's not working and you're just getting either petty or emotional with it.
My double standard has everything to do with innocent until proven guilty. white men are innocent, black men are guilty. that is the double standard. The question is uncalled for and a waste simply because there is no answer for it. The same double standard that applies when people donate applies to the media coverage and everything else as well.
you so wound up thinking a rhetorical question about how black men are perceived is specifically aimed at you and your convictions or post history
All racists do not benefit from white privilege. It's pretty clear who white privilege is for. you simply cant believe that this is true
You were the one that said it was illegal. I had to ask you is what exactly about it is illegal, you couldn't answer and now you're trying to say it was obviousI dIdnt say it was illegal, i said it was a problem and it should be illegal that this is allowed to happen.
So racism is a special issue more unique than other prejudicial issues that needs to be classified differently. Why?
This is the reason why race relations will never change. yes racism is a unique issue with widespreading effects and implications and should be classified differently.
What are you talking about? This is bull ****. You seriously do not understand the ramifications of what you're saying right now.
Another flat out denial. my point is that people can pay to support murderers based solely off knowing the race of the defendant, i see something wrong with this, but thats just bs
No. I'm saying two things here. You can't just call ppl racists for donating. You said ppl who donated are racists. You said that several times. Now you're switching what you're previously was talking about and saying ppl who donated and made racist posts are racist. So now the 2nd thing I'm telling you is them being racist and labeled racist to the whole world won't stop them from donating if they want to.
Aha here it is the contradiction! By my saying that they are all racists, thats everyone, posters and nonposters alike. i already showed how you created that distinction, so now you have created a set of undeniably racist donors. Unapologetic racists raising money in defense of a man who may have killed an innocent black man. The only thing you can say is "oh well"
Wow, you coming off like a real piece of **** right here. I'm a bit tired of your assumptions at this point. I don't even know what you're talking about or where this is coming from.
So you said that all the donors werent white. implying that some may have been black too.
No. You have to understand what circular logic is first manIt's circular logic because you called everybody who donated racist, you then want their names revealed so that you can prove they're racist. You've already blindly made a claim about all of these ppl. Now you want to infringe upon their rights to prove your claim.
Everyone who donates is racist (double standard) > names revealed = know who they are (not that they are racist, i have already established that)
Either case your bringing up, you do not know that they shot somebody and then went inside and started a crowd fund. I never said there was anything random about this. You just can't stop being narrow minded to not realize that any person charged with a crime would try to do this. A dude gets charged with a crime, lets say the crime gets national attention. Whether you like it or not there's gonna be a trial to determine guilt. Whether you like it or not there are ppl that believe that think the dude is guilty and ppl (if they're racist so be it, doesn't matter) that don't. Dude wants a good lawyer cuz he doesn't want to go to prison. Crowdfund is popular on the internet, so he goes there to gain support so he can pay for his legal fees.
We're going to see this a lot more with plenty of ppl charged with crimes.
Youre calling me narrow minded because i think racists will exploit this? like how does anyone being able to use this change the fact that racists can and are? what youre really saying is that more racists will commit crimes and do this since everyone and anyone can. to you it doesnt matter about their support, but im sure to the familys of the victims it matters a whole lot. public supported murder.
You haven't considered consequences or exactly how effective they'll be.
The loopholes already in place, etc.
"im just maintaining status quo"
they'll stop making posts.
ppl will donate money through the mail or hell a relative of a person charged will start the crowd fund (this is very common) and they'll collect the money and pay for the legal fees.
"ill make up excuses and start reaching for alternatives, but they dont change the fact that crowdfunding these murderers is wrong"
There been plenty race based trials before the internet.
how many race based trials did the public send 500,000 in 10 days?
Plus like I said, this just opens the door for others even if you want to limit this just to racism.
Any time a black man is wrongly accused of a racist crime he won't get any support now if there's no evidence right?
So he'll get the ****** lawyer and end up in prison.
"let me turn your idea back on you", a black person won't get his case funded by "the public" anyway, and even if he did he's still a black man in court. he doesnt get the same privilege white men do in the face of a jury. besides, how many black people commit hate crimes against white ppl like murder?
Then everybody else like you with a bias against some other sort of prejudice based case will be asking for the same special exceptions in not allowing crowd funding for their cases.
yea poor us wanting something like a trial to be fair to both sides
