I swear, people just love to argue for the sake of arguing.
You're quite literally talking about an American talking point, that exists in the framework of American political and societal issues. I'm not saying your thoughts don't matter to you, I'm saying your thoughts are irrelevant to the substance of the argument(s) that already exist and are substantiated by evidence; independently of whatever your thoughts are.
You can't simply choose to unwittingly partake in the discussions of topics with certain histories and contexts, only to use "I think, I'm not American" as some sort of deniability that somehow gives credence to your arguments. You can't just deny and forsake the history of a topic, because you were ignorant of the circumstances and because you're not American. lol
Just say "oh thanks bro, I didn't know that. Good to know!" and move on. Don't fucking double down like the forum's idiots. You're better than that, bro.
No, why do I have to apologize for not carrying on the conversation or framing it in the context that you wanted? It is a forum here and people are here to opine and I was simply stating what I think, without having to worry about anything else. On this particular subject I don?t pretend to know all the intricacies, what?s going on and what is being discussed on this subject in the US, not that I don?t care to know, it has no bearing on what I wanted to say on this subject when I wrote it.
Look, I don?t care if it is an American talking point or not, just because it is a so-called ?American talking point?, it doesn?t mean it has to be discussed exclusively with their perspectives in mind. People outside America, people who are not familiar with that American talking point can talk about it without making reference to the American talking point. To me it (?black people can?t be racist?) is a ludicrous claim that could have very racist undertone which I sought to condemn and repudiate. That?s it. Unless if you think without knowing and delving into the so-called ?American talking point?, I am not allow to speak about it.
The way I see it, nobody needs to have a badge of qualifications before speaking on any matter, you speak what?s in your mind. If you don?t like it, ignore it, you don?t have to lecture me. Look, I don?t even know why we are arguing about this in the first place, I don?t see any real disagreement between us on the merits. I am not the argumentative one here.
