How so? If I have to explain it to you, then you are further illustrating my point, all due respect. Not talking about every post, but many of the responses.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 1:09 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) If I have to explain it to you, then you are further illustrating my point, all due respect. Not talking about every post, but many of the responses. Dude, blanket generalizations are not your friend here. If you don't back up your claims with specifics, then the claim was pointless. I'm just giving you the opportunity to elaborate what you said and the result of that is a greater mutual understanding. That's a win-win for everyone. You don't have to, of course (and we all know how hard it can be to put things into words about this very difficult subject), but if you don't then it just leaves the mild scent of condescension--and I think/hope you are too smart for that. ETA: You know what? Never mind, it's no one's business but your own what comments you choose to make. And I don't want to come across as some thin-skinned git that just wants to challenge anyone. Things are hard enough right now.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 1:23 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) Yeah, we got one. Mission accomplished. Well, when a statue-toppler can credibly claim that he believed the statue was pulling a gun on him or that his or someone else's life was in imminent danger, I suspect he'll avoid jail time as well. Your concern for all those poor innocent statues brutalized by an unjust system is admirable. Lead the way good sir.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 1:25 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Dude, blanket generalizations are not your friend here. Well, for starters, don't call me "Dude."    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 1:29 PM     By:   Advise & Consent   (Member) If I have to explain it to you, then you are further illustrating my point, all due respect. Let me guess: won't enact the labour.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 1:38 PM     By:   TheIrishman   (Member) Corporations are the government. While I agree with all else you said, here I disagree: Published (as opposed to public) opinion is the new government. And they are neither elected nor accountable.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 1:38 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) Dude, blanket generalizations are not your friend here. Well, for starters, don't call me "Dude." It's an informal figure of speech. I suppose it could possibly be interpreted as a blanket generalization, therefore, I apologize. (However, I think it's quite a bit different than implying that some people here are racists.)    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 1:47 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Your concern for all those poor innocent statues brutalized by an unjust system is admirable. Lead the way good sir. My only concern is that both policemen and prospective statue-topplers follow the law, and that both of them receive due process when they are accused of breaking it. If that's too much to ask, then society is truly at an impasse.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 1:48 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Dude, blanket generalizations are not your friend here.

My point was, and I am not singling out anyone specifically: The board demographics here skew toward aging white males, and many of the posts in this thread could come off as aging white males telling younger minorities how they should feel. I am not saying that this is the intention of any of the posts in particular, but collectively, they could come off that way to a younger person of color. Just sayin'.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 2:13 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) My point was, and I am not singling out anyone specifically: The board demographics here skew toward aging white males, and many of the posts in this thread could come off as aging white males telling younger minorities how they should feel. I am not saying that this is the intention of any of the posts in particular, but collectively, they could come off that way to a younger person of color. Just sayin'. That's a fair point. But on the other hand I do not necessarily believe that I need to be a younger person of color to comment on what they are doing. Wrong is wrong, and that has no color. (I still maintain that now, in some cases (and I stress "some"), they seem to be just lashing out indiscriminately at symbols that may actually represent people that fought for their cause. They need to make sure their targets are correctly identified.)    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 2:20 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) That's a fair point.

And a person of color may say that we need fewer statues of Lincoln and more statues of Emmett Till.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 2:27 PM     By:   Jehannum   (Member) Bringing the discussion away from politics towards fantasy/sci-fi, I'd like to see some Talos-like action from these statues.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 2:36 PM     By:   Last Child   (Member) What's all this got to do with GI Joe?!    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 2:40 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) And a person of color may say that we need fewer statues of Lincoln and more statues of Emmett Till. I fear pulling down Lincoln statues will not accomplish that. There are ways of getting that done that don't involve destruction. In any case, Jeh is right. I want to see the statues fight back. Some old-school Talosian ass-whuppin'!    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 2:41 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) What's all this got to do with GI Joe?! I guess "kung-fu grip" is next on the list!    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 2:42 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) And a person of color may say that we need fewer statues of Lincoln and more statues of Emmett Till. There's nothing wrong with saying that. Or demanding that. Or lobbying for that. Or voting for that. It's when the mob tears down the Lincoln statue to make way for the Emmett Till statue that some people look askance.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 3:02 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) And a person of color may say that we need fewer statues of Lincoln and more statues of Emmett Till. There's nothing wrong with saying that. Or demanding that. Or lobbying for that. Or voting for that. It's when the mob tears down the Lincoln statue to make way for the Emmett Till statue that some people look askance. As a society, how many monuments do we need? Should we have a per-square-mile quota? Should monuments last in perpetuity, or should they last only as long as we need them? Is the act of tearing down a monument potentially as meaningful, or even more meaningful, than the monument itself?    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 3:22 PM     By:   afn   (Member) Toppling, defacing and destroying a public statue is against the law. It's a crime. Anybody who breaks the law or commits a crime must be punished by a huge fine or should go to jail. Period.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 3:22 PM     By:   Advise & Consent   (Member) How did this board go from film music and entertainment to maoist struggle session? Legit question.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2020 - 3:29 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) How did this board go from film music and entertainment to maoist struggle session? Legit question. Because everything entertainment has become "political".     Non-Film Score Discussion: Gone With The Wind has...Gone With The Wind.    << < 18 19 20 21  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
