Are you saying that a neighborhood of racially segregated and impoverished people are going to murder a person because of the shoes they are wearing?

Homie, did you know that hoods exist of whites, Asians, blacks, whatever. Hood is an all inclusive term. Get out there man, explore the world a little 😎(make sure to lock your doors LOL)

You’re a day late to the party, and I’m not the one who brought the hood up to begin with. What do you imagine they thought the outcome would be by dropping them off in the hood?

Sorry I was at my diversity training course. Maybe they will sing the songs of the hood peoples and eat the traditional food stuffs. Maybe bring some religious beliefs with them? Is correct answer teach?

You think so? You really think that’s what they were thinking when they said to drop them off at the hood?

Pretty sure you went after the wrong person. But hey, that’s just me assuming no one reads the entire comment tree.

You are trying to read people's minds now? Better call Miss Cleo 😎

No? I’m asking direct questions.

About what I think someone else was thinking when they wrote a reply.. girl you ain't worth two pesos

Doesn’t take much to buy your attention then.

Nope, what kinda racist projection is that? They should be forced to walk through an area that they wouldn't set foot in voluntarily.

If they are respectful they won't have problems. If they aren't they might learn a valuable lesson.

You're digging deeper...

The mature response to saying something accidentally racist is to apologize, take it on the chin, possibly learn something, and move on.

And I'm not the one who suggested they would be murdered.

"He did a bad thing so my bad thing isn't bad"?

You’re saying that all “hoods” are violent, which is untrue. You watch too much TV. You should delete your shit comments instead of trying to dig yourself out.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Did I say that? Or are you filling in blanks?

Forceful exposure to situations other than the ones that would create a trump scyophant is one of the most effective ways to show themnthat they have more in common with the people in the hood than they do with a wannabe demagogue.
