@Hinduism_sci I will not retweet this awful thing, and neither will my parents. Of that, I am certain.
The Pakistanis are the brothers and sisters of the Indians. One does not seek to harm one's own family over a mere difference in matters of religion.
@Hinduism_sci You call yourself "Hinduism and Science." Very well, then, please tell me, scientifically, how any mere human can know anything about the Divine with certainty.
Is it not vanity when mere humans imagine that they can truly know the gods, who they are and who they are not?
@Hinduism_sci Are you so in love with your own pride that you would have Bharat destroy itself in a war, just to punish others for believing differently than you do? If so, then do you worship the gods or do you worship yourself?
Please, let us be better than this.

@AlbinoSqrl @friqqin @freer_mind_ @MattWalshBlog "I am sure there are black people who see this all clearly"
That depends on how one defines "Black," I suppose. I know of more than a few Rwandan, Nigerian and Ethiopian immigrants who see things very clearly, but their cultures are nothing like Black inner city culture.
@AlbinoSqrl @friqqin @freer_mind_ @MattWalshBlog The Black people who are descended from the slaves of the Confederacy can be seen objecting to the idea of referring to African immigrants as "Black" people, and most of the African immigrants seem happy to be left out of that category.
@AlbinoSqrl @friqqin @freer_mind_ @MattWalshBlog The mere fact of his skin color is not enough to make me uncomfortable around one of my old officemates. But as for the inner city culture?
Remember that autistic man who was scalped by his Black "friends" live on Facebook, after Trump won in 2016?
@friqqin @freer_mind_ @AlbinoSqrl @MattWalshBlog "the fact of his childishness makes him a victim."
No, it doesn't. He is reported to have been ten, not five. That is well above the age of reason, even for a child of modest intelligence. More than old enough to be sent to juvenile detention for what he was doing.
@friqqin @freer_mind_ @AlbinoSqrl @MattWalshBlog "that crackhead has no business reserving so much anger for a child"
Reserving? Do you even know what that word means, ajia? Unless you can show me footage of her letting somebody else off the hook for doing the same thing, you clearly don't.
@friqqin @freer_mind_ @AlbinoSqrl @MattWalshBlog During this drama, I've been pushing back against the conclusion that I've seen some people pushing - that we should be judging Black people, in general, based on incidents like this.
@NotTheHelp @BiffShackleford @moment_mirthful @CollinRugg "Nah, your history is bunk."
Says the "man" who is about to post some Afrocentric revisionist nonsense that sounds like something from the Black Hebrew Israelites.
"In the 1st place, we are Israelites,"
See? And no, you are not. This is beyond rational debate.
@NotTheHelp @BiffShackleford @moment_mirthful @CollinRugg Egypt has no shortage of well-preserved, mummified bodies. The ancient Egyptians (and their neighbors to the northeast) were not, for the most part, Black, and even the relatively few who were, weren't closely related to your West African ancestors.
@NotTheHelp @BiffShackleford @moment_mirthful @CollinRugg Screaming, making a scene and going crazy might be popular debate techniques among your Afrocentric "scholar" friends, but none of that will transform crankery into legitimate scholarship.
@SomeBitchIIKnow To clear up a bit of confusion that arose in last night's chat, as my Midwesterness became suspect 😄 ... maybe this is one of those male-vs-female things?
Or maybe this is just a "me" thing, under the circumstances.
@SomeBitchIIKnow The circumstances being that a lot of people in the chat (almost all of them male) have seemed awfully eager to grab onto any excuse to argue with me in the chat that they can find.
@SomeBitchIIKnow When I've taken that bait, the arguments have spiraled out of control, I've gotten exhausted (while really missing the show), because all of my attention has been taken up by that. I'll end up staying up far later than I should, chasing the white whale of a rational resolution.
@BigWalt187 @Alex_Jones_2028 @CollinRugg @EdtheGreatX "I never said that,"
You implied it, and you know it.
"you’re reaching."
Hardly.
"I will toss you an easy question, what do you think happened prior that could’ve justified what we saw?"
You want me to psychically tell you what happened in the footage that I didn't see?
@BigWalt187 @Alex_Jones_2028 @CollinRugg @EdtheGreatX That's not merely not an easy question, it's not even a sane one. You're asking me to do as you have done, and just assume my facts into existence. That's your style, but it's not mine.
Absent the evidence, I don't know, and I'll refrain from pretending otherwise.
@BigWalt187 @Alex_Jones_2028 @CollinRugg @EdtheGreatX I'll keep an open mind, something that you have refused to do. As for this ...
"If you want to say that Indian people never slur us, I’m going to call bullshit on that."
Mirroring? Really? Three year olds play that game.
