Good insight. I really comes down to a mentality of "what I see personally must be reality".
Some of us are working with more and different information than others, so obviously there are going to be some differences in how we see the world and the events going on around us.
If I am not black man facing daily racism or police harassment, then black men have nothing to complain about.
Nobody said this or has this sentiment. You made this assumption. What some of us are saying is that there are people who have an interest in causing a DIVIDE in humans. Every race has their unique set of problems, none more important than the other. We are all on this planet together. You are the one falling for the "OMG there's racists everywhere!" story line.
If a member of my family hasn't died of COVID, it must be an exaggeration to change to election or take away my freedom.
How dare people think outside the narrative and consider alterior consequences? Have lives been lost? Yes. But the DATA shows that this whole thing has been a farce. I thought you were more of a scientist, look at the data!
I can't fathom losing a family member to this bullshit and I feel horrible for those who have, especially those in the RME family. No words are going to make that better. But neither is putting your head in the sand and just accepting the narrative.
I'll echo: "It's rather absurd really."
All that said, we totally have different views on many things and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I rather enjoy the back and forth communications with people of differing views and I think it's important. Let's just drop the gas-lighting techniques, ok?
