Why is Letsrun considered toxic?

I always see you use the rationale that discussion on the board is “just what you might talk about on a long run.”

Have you ever been on a long run with a black person and turned to them and said, “hey, do you think black people are less intelligent and that’s why they commit more crimes?” Or “do you think black fathers abandon their families and that’s why black people are violent,” or “Hey! Black Lives Matter are terrorists, right?” Because these are all topics that have been on this board and repeatedly appear in posts and threads.

I don’t think you would ever dare say this things on a run to a black person. Besides it being so far beyond the bounds of civility, I think you and every other white bro on this board would be scared of what would happen. I dare you in actual life to walk up to a group of black people and “just start an interesting conversation” about whether they’re animals. You would never.

So if you know it’s wrong in person then why is it fine on a message board? If you wouldn’t dare say it to a black person’s face on this mythical long run, what makes it cool and not cowardly and disgusting to foster spaces where people feel comfortable saying these things?

Nobody can stop you saying it, but your pretence that this is just idle conversation like people have all the time on runs either shows that you hang out with some seriously disturbing people in person, or that you simply refuse any responsibility for what you actually condone being said. And then accept that black people are not being unreasonable or sensitive or ridiculous to not enjoy being called unintelligent primitives.

People are and should be different in person. thats just natural. I hope you would also be nice to afghan people in person but you still vote for governments and support your country murdering hundred thousands of them.

I have yet to show up for a club workout or long run where this discussion happens:

Doug: Hey, Pete! We missed you last Saturday. What's up?

Pete: I got my second Pfizer shot last Friday afternoon and felt a little rough so, decided to miss the long run and sleep in.

Doug: No worries! I had a similar reaction when I got mine a few...

Bob: Are you two f**king out of your minds?! You are most certainly going to drop dead soon. JFC!!! You have no idea what's in that crap and now the CIA and Facebook can track your every move because of the chips now implanted in your body.

Pete: Relax, Bob! The vaccines are safe and I don't want to get COVID, OK?

Bob: Bulls**t! The vaccines are a mass culling tool designed by Nancy Pelosi and Hunter Biden to trim the population before the Chinese invade and install a puppet regime staffed by drag queens!

Doug: Bob! Calm down, dude. Let's just do our planned 20, alright?

Bob: I am not running a step with you two until you watch this 25 minute YouTube video on my phone. This Swedish veterinarian who tested a similar vaccine on manatees and beluga whales says that the chemical signature of the vaccines is the same as the gas the Nazis used to...

But, this is just a normal LRC thread that goes 10-12 pages until it is replaced with an even nuttier thread on the same topic.
