Guys like you are okay with others being racist toward Blacks but as soon as someone calls out Israel, you have a fit. You and the other 3 to 5 White racists Jews on this thread.

The only parallel that you can really draw between the conflict in Israel and in America is that the supposed oppression of arabs in Israel and minorities in America today is made up.

The reality is that America is a land of equal opportunity and Israel is far more hospitable to arabs than the surrounding areas are to Jews. Claims of systemic racism and apartheid are lies used to control gullible idiots.

It's nuts how technology has changed society. Obviously what these people said is inappropriate and cringeworthy.

But dang. I can't imagine how many "fireable" things I've said in the privacy of my home, never meaning for it to be released to the world.

You sit around in your house calling people racial slurs? Are you just, like, screaming these things to yourself or are you saying them to other people?

And you think the only problem with that would be if it were made public?

No, I don't. But I definitely have made off-color jokes, even jokes involving racial stereotypes.

So what should the punishment be for being caught on video in the same room as other people who used a racial slur? What should the punishment be for making a bad joke about going to Africa and getting AIDS? I can disagree with the language, but should these people never be allowed to ever work again? I? your view that's an appropriate punishment?

^Fine with policy supporting immunity to anyone who steals less than $1000, but if a whie lady says the N word she should be executed with no trial.

You're an authoritarian who wants anyone who falls out of line to be crushed with an iron fist.

Well the problem in this case is obviously that judges are not supposed to display bias, cannot lobby, cannot fundraise for political parties, etc. The reasons why are obvious: a judge who displays open racial bias or any political or personal bias cannot be trusted to objectively and fairly treat all defendants. Judges have tremendous power - up to the power determining life and death. The stakes of sending people to prison are so high that we must do all we can to ensure an unbiased system as far as it is possible., Do you disagree with that fundamental principle of the justice system? A judge screaming racial slurs and using dehumanizing language clearly is not fit to sit in judgement over black people and would be challenged by every lawyer defending a black person in their courtroom. It would be the same if, say, she was caught saying she thinks all men are violent rapists or something. It’s not appropriate.

In your case I would be worried if you joke about Africans having AIDS and you were like a healthcare worker or something. But my point wasn’t that people should lose their jobs, my point was a tree falling in a forest one: just because no one hears you on tape saying these things doesn’t mean that makes it fine. Your post implied the problem in the modern world isn’t people who say racist things about people, it’s merely that now they can get caught. I was pointing out to you that it’s sh—-y behaviour whether or not anyone catches you.

If you were a kid who said stupid things then matured and learned better then sure, I don’t think that should ruin your life. Kids are dumb and people change and grow. If you’re a grown adult and you’re still sitting around making stupid racist jokes then - serious question - why?

If a drunk woman cant consent then how can a drunk woman demonstrate racial bias?

She didn't display "open racial bias".....

In the privacy of her home she displayed anger at the people who tried to harm her...

She actually displayed both. They aren't mutually exclusive.

The person under discussion was a judge. You just work for the insurance companies. Different expectations apply to decision makers.

Thanks for supporting me!

This. She didn't just heckle random people walking down the street. The person it was directed to had earned some sort of label.

You are wasting your time. It should be obvious, regardless of political affiliation, that this is a gigantic problem for a judge as every lawyer defending a black guy will have a field day recusing her; but some people just does not get it.

I was about to say you can’t be serious but I had to remind myself this is LR…the same way a drunk woman can demonstrate similar poor behavior and be held to account if she gets her drunk self in a vehicle and starts driving!!

If a drunk woman uses a mean word her life is ruined but that same drunk woman cannot ever give consent because shes drunk? Make it make sense.

You are trying to make sense of your nonsense! Just knock it off!! Let me help you…a rapist cannot claim consent from a drunk woman. I hate to inform you that you party plans to get a woman drink to have your way is no longer acceptable!!!

Stop with the elementary level comprehension. You know words AND actions have consequences…it’s not just about her being drunk. If you feel it’s just a word (which is an admission on your part that you take part in using it)…get on social media and just say that word! If you feel so strongly about it being just a word…stand up for what you feel is “common sense” and take your keyboard warrior self out into adult world and own that word in public like you do in private!!

So you've never had sex with a woman that was drunk? That makes you a rapist?

I see where OosmaKappa is going, women are not liable for the decisions and actions they make when they are drunk, or they are not. Believe all women, they are incapable of lying.

That's right. I'm calling out the logical inconsistency. On the one hand we're told that drunk women cant reason and therefore you cant take their word for anything, they cant consent. Yet on the other hand we're also being told that what a drunk woman says in an inebriated state while in the comfort of her own home is grounds for ending her career and completely defines who she is as a person: a dirty no good racist.
