Even if someone is racist, it is not reasonable to automatically assume that they are saying or thinking something racist every time they have an opportunity to do so.

I disagree.

Not only is it reasonable, but its human nature.

Paths dont just "divert" when they have a history.

Patterns are everywhere man. including behavior. Patterns are repetitive, and thus easily predicted and seen.

Thats kind of like saying its unreasonable to think that a sports fan would only like one sport.

There ARE sports fans who only like one sport, but that isnt the norm and most would assume sports fans like multiple sports.



What you are doing now is enabling those who try to push their views to the edge through passive aggressive behavior.
There are people who are smart enough(even within thier fucked up racists or prejudiced views) that love to try twist things through vagueness and then play the innocent card.
When a person has history of making racial statements and then plays this vague card, it is absolutely reasonable and natural to assume its just another racial statement.

I think you are giving humans too much credit. We dont forgive and forget so easily and we remember patterns and we associate based off of them.

So when someone has a historical pattern, you better believe it is reasonable to assume they are continuing on that path.

Furthermore, I think it would be UNreasonable to think otherwise.

Now is this right? Maybe, maybe not. But you said reasonable... not right.

What I am saying is that humans are too complex to be any one thing all the time, and that despite our innate pattern recognition abilities, to apply those to use them as an excuse to claim to know someone else's thoughts and motivations is irrational. And by saying that, I mean that that kind of conclusion is based on an emotional response, not a logical one, and while it may be common or "human nature" as you suggest, it is neither right nor reasonable.

You missed the point, in one sentence you claim I am JetBlack, and in the next post you tell me I don't know who jetblack is.

But at the same time, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and then if you see that MF fly?

Then it's probably a duck. :dunno:

Again, not saying he's not racist. Just saying that it's unfair to assume that every post that might conceivably be racist necessarily is. Nobody is always only one thing all the time.

I wasn't the one who said that. However, I judge singular actions. And that singular action was racist. The fact that we all know it was and CONTINUE to give him cover is just a microcosm of what's happening in this country.

This just isn't true. A singular action of 6 random symbols is not a racist action.

There are a ton of derogatory 6 letter words....assuming you are still talking about that? Thread took an unfortunate turn, so I stopped reading all the posts

I'll just not be racist. I won't ever defend them either. From "many sides"....

I'll be that guy.

Nice to live in a fantasy world like that, but in the real world, people judge and assume. and its common, thus rational.
It is rational to follow the dots and come up with a path, regardless if a few portions of that path are missing.

You may think its irrational, but its a majority thing, thus it is rational to most people to make the connections.
