So I'm neuro divergent and I don't see people in terms of race. I guess I'm racist now. Who knew. You freaking people are why the right thinks we're insane. Blind people are racist too?

Here is me actively dismissing. I see your skin color and I make a conscious decision to omit that fact.

You are saying if someone doesn't actually notice the color of people when we see them we are racist. That's exactly like saying people who are deaf are rude for ignoring you when you speak. Ridiculous.

We're not expecting you to see people in terms of race. That would be profiling. You're being far too literal and not making a point in good faith by trying to equate visual impairment in this context.

Please look up the difference between equality and equity, and why equality isn't sufficient and can in fact still be exclusionary in today's reality. That's the point we're trying to make here.

Forgive me for thinking words mean what they say. This is part of the problem the left has in general. You guys are too lazy to have long discussions so you keep making up labels and words that no one knows what they mean then you go around calling people who aren't even fighting you racist. The entire tone of this thread has been beyond stupid. Don't get me started on how many letters have been added to LGBTQBBQWTF when the Q was supposed to be the end of it as a catch-all. It's like you guys WANT to be misunderstood.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
