If I make a meme which asserts that a giant Blahaj in the sky controls the American government, and you call it into question, is the burden of proof on you to explain what it is about the meme you don’t understand, or on me to show you why I believe it’s true?
To put it in less sarcastic terms, the answer is that what I’m struggling with is the whole thing.
Are you just not even making an attempt to understand my point? In this scenario, of course black women would benefit, as they’d experience no police brutality. My point is that this magical elimination of a racial inequality problem would not make a gender related issue (e.g. the wage gap) automatically worse somehow, which seemed to be Leylaa’s point if I’m understanding that correctly.
This seems to assume that there’s a certain fixed amount of “bad shit” that must be placed on one minority or another. If I eliminated all police brutality (which in the US disproportionately is aimed at black people), does that somehow make things any worse for women?
Part 2 avoid being a reporter in Russia
I don’t feel like I need to; the burden of proof is on you to explain why both must simultaneously succeed or fail
This isn’t exactly a helpful response. The two movements are different in myriad ways, and I see no reason to believe that the failure or success, however that may be defined, of one would cause the other to have the same fate.
Seems an obvious improvement would be to install a sign with a different code drink in the men’s bathroom? It wouldn’t work well for same-gender dates though
VCJ is leaking
I am not trolling, but was hoping for somebody, OP or otherwise, to explain why they believe the message of the meme to be true, so that I or other lemmings could learn a bit more about the subject. I’m glad that the community has stepped in to share their knowledge. My intent was not to be aggressive with my comparison to Russell’s
teapotBlahaj, if that’s what led you to your judgement of my attitude, but to show OP that the burden of proof was on them to show why the two movements are as interdependent as they claim.
