quick question. So if I send you death threats with utterly disgusting suggestions, I'm just someone joking around without understanding the implications? Mhm. I guess police should never ever take death threats seriously in ANY circumstance. That logic is severely flawed, buddy.

Also: I am not telling you what it feel like to be black. I am not concerned about what it feels like to be black.

That's the first step in understanding discrimination. Right there. Empathy. Which you seem to have VERY little of.

But yeah other than that bye felicia.

I would likely laugh in your face, be a bit worried about it, and forget it about a week in.

If you provided some form of substantial evidence of having an address, being able to do harm, etc, then I would call the police and follow their instructions.

    That's the first step in understanding discrimination. Right there. Empathy. Which you seem to have VERY little of.

I have and will continue to try to pry apart my emotions and thoughts on what actions are moral/immoral, right/wrong, etc. The moment I base my actions and words on empathy is the moment I fail to take a moment and observe a situation objectively.
