Is this like those guys who planned on “taking over” Haiti, I believe it was, and taking the women and children as sex slaves?
I actually used to game online with this guy that was preparing to go capture Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier by launching a boat from Florida to Haiti in 2022 or so. He was serious, not the kind of guy to talk out his ass and he streamed the boat, weapons, etc he had prepared. I don’t know what ever came of it, we stopped talking after he wouldn’t stop trying to recruit me lol
My point was that the disabled individual is not always in control of their disability, I never meant to say Black people should just deal with it.
I don’t think either side of this argument (on this site, at least) should feel or be made to feel like they are defending an ableist or racist viewpoint when they are defending quite the opposite.
Don’t even. You drew a comparison between someone with a disability attending an awards show and someone intentionally positioning themselves in a way to cause harm to PoC. You also implied in a “there’s no way to know” way that this person might be getting off on their disability, while in reality they are forced to live with the judgement of people like you who will attribute malice to something they have no control over.
Knowing a word is racist, harmful, and inappropriate does not make you a racist. The very same reasons we find it offensive are the reasons he shouted it.
Say someone’s colostomy bag broke in public. It smells like shit, nobody likes the smell of shit, the person with the colostomy bag probably doesn’t like the smell of shit either. Would you find it appropriate to say “this person loves the smell of shit, they intended to make us all smell their shit?”
You killed my father, prepare to die
