@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt It wasn't an issue at first, but at some point I developed a problem distinguishing embryology as well.

Hilbert and Gödel walk into a bar. Hilbert begins to tell the bartender exactly how he wants his drink prepared and all its ingredients. While starting to prepare it, the bartender asks Gödel if he wants anything. “I’m good,” Gödel says. “Thanks to him, I’ve finished the mental construction of the drink.”

@nelson@wetdry.world on monday though i'm going to draw pickle who is my OC's ...
he refers to her as his cat, everyone around him is firmly aware she is not a cat
she's almost as big as him, has six legs, eight eyes, and when she stares long enough at something it tends to catch on fire
she also speaks in broken french when she has too many feelings ............ but doesn't understand french so it's pure gibberish
i'll send to you when done :3

I just don't understand how it costs so much more to say,
"I think I'm missing something with the Black community's response to the OJ trial. What's your understanding of it?"
(and don't get me wrong, that's not appropriate in all situations, but the leading questions you posted have no space in any conversation ever - but they're also accurate to the questions people ask and then demand to be treated seriously)

i was confused at the time and my response was to assume i was missing something.
a few years later, it came up in a political discussion between two family friends who were arguing while cooking. they were discussing it from a shared point of understanding despite one being Black and one white, so i admitted my lack of understanding and asked them how they saw the verdict.
and they broke it down for me.
when i'm not part of a demographic and i see that demographic's response to something (either as represented by the media or personally witnessed) differs from what seems to make sense i generally assume i'm missing something. because i usually am.
that's the nature of perspective. and it'd be really bigoted of me to think i know better or more.

Your argument keeps boiling down to "but people didn't have the information to understand why Black folks might have responded the way they did." Correct. I fully agree with that.
But that's also why the only non-racist response to the information "many Black folks celebrated the OJ verdict" is to assume they had good reason to do so and thus you must be missing something.
Because assuming what you know is the full story implies either "Black folks are stupid/uninformed" or "Black folks hate white folks so much they see a murderer getting away with it as something to celebrate."
Those are both pretty fucking racist.

you say "exactly" but nothing you've said demonstrates understanding.
your focus on making a case for white ignorance is making me incredibly uncomfortable at this point, especially in the context of this being a Black man's thread talking about the OJ trial
you keep implying that i don't know the extent of white ignorance at the time as if it matters
but it doesn't
there are situations where a discussion of white ignorance can make sense
this is not one of them.

i was young, but your response completely misses my point. i listened to radio coverage primarily, though, not TV.
firstly, that question could not have been on the lips of white progressives if there wasn't a lot of searching for common ground - searching for common ground is baked into it.
secondly, it's not about discussing it at the time although it could have been.
if you are holding two sets of facts that seem conflicting (Black folks celebrated the OJ verdict) and (OJ got away with murder) and your response is to not try to reach common ground, that's racist. because the potential answers to this conflict are either projecting some pretty racist shit on black people or your understanding of the full picture is lacking.
so, rather than trying to splain the OJ trial at Black folks, pointing out that you're confused and not asking a single Black person to speak for the community is the only reasonable approach

Yes, I was aware. I'm not sure why you think that takes away from my point, rather than bolstering it.
