So historical fact is racist? When Captain Cook sailed across the ocean and landed in Australia, the aboriginals still hadn’t invented shoes, housing, clothing, cutlery, etc.

Africa is riddled with AIDS.

Racism caused those things did it?

It’s absolutely insane and anti-science to think that there aren’t differences between races. It’s a known fact. It’s not racist to point it out.

Why are the large majority of players in the nba black? Why are the large majority of the best long distance runners black? Why are the large majority of the best sprinters black? Systemic racism but……in a positive way?

The ratio? I assume you’re talking about upvotes/downvotes as if they mean anything other than to point out the political leanings of the people on Lemmy, which we all know is borderline communist at worst (and far, far left at best).

For example saying “Illegal immigrants should be deported” almost anywhere on Lemmy will get you mass downvoted. Saying “Karmelo Anthony is a murderer who should spend the rest of his life in jail” will get you downvoted to oblivion almost anywhere on Lemmy.

It’s not a reflection on me, It’s merely a reflection of the political leanings of the population here. Are you saying that anyone that says things that go against the echo chamber - of which Lemmy is most certainly an echo chamber - is a troll and should leave/be banned?

Since you want to go there, show me what exactly you disagree with in my posts.

Touching on your banning comment - If you look at my moderation history I was banned from 2 communities (on the one instance) I’ve never so much as commented on because the person that was disagreeing with me (who just so happens to be very active on that instance) obviously got me banned for no reason other than he disagrees.

Again - banned from a place I’ve literally never posted, commented, or voted on, because someone couldn’t help but abuse their mod power. Apart from that it’s a bunch of nothing.

I bet you can’t even see the irony in what you’re saying though. Trying to get me “cancelled” and have my moderator status taken off because we’re having a disagreement and I told you to just cool your jets with the attempted gatekeeping and accusations……yet I’m the one who needs to do some “self reflection”?

This has now gone beyond a thread derailment and is borderline harassment and bad faith arguing, so I’m telling you now - this is the end of this personal attacking from you. If you want to continue you are welcome to PM me, but you will not detail this thread anymore with this vendetta of yours.

This isn’t a “threat”, it’s simply telling you that this is not acceptable.

Understand?

That’s a complete lie lol. Different races have differences in behaviour, intellect, abilities, etc. Denying this is denying reality. It’s not because of “racism”.

Some races got out of the stone age much quicker than others. Was that racism?

Imagine having to make things up to try and attack someone over simply because you have no actual arguments.

One day you will have to stop blaming racism for everything wrong with certain demographics.

I have the notification of your deleted comment so I can see what you said, so I’ll address it.

1. No, I didn’t delete anything. You can check the mod log.

2. There was no “threat inherent” in my post. As a moderator would you prefer I tell you when you’re veering off into breaking the rules, or not and then just ban you when you continued? I simply told you to watch where you’re going with the accusations of trolling - and more importantly the “you don’t belong here” comment. You don’t get to gatekeep here. You have no right telling anyone that they don’t belong here, or accusing them of being a troll. That’s bordering breaking the rules, which I pointed out.

3. It’s entirely appropriate mod behaviour, telling people they’re getting close to breaking the rules. Calling people trolls because you disagree with them, and telling them they don’t belong in a public community is not appropriate member behaviour, hence why I told you to watch what you’re doing.

4. Accusing me of deleting your comment is, again, borderline unacceptable and starting to push it.

I’m not going to ban you for any of this like you want me to, but if you break the rules flagrantly a moderator will take action, even if it’s not me.

Like to threaten? Lol good one. I told you that accusing me of trolling and saying I don’t belong here is starting to go too far. I didn’t threaten you, I didn’t give you a warning, I didn’t take any mod action. I didn’t take any action when you were name calling or throwing out other snide remarks, because that’s not a mod-worthy problem. I told you to reel it in.

Telling people they’re “trolls” and that they don’t belong in a community simply because you disagree with them is not on though, and I think any mod would agree on that. Nothing I have posted anywhere can even remotely considered “trolling”, unless of course you consider anything anyone you don’t like says to be “trolling”.

Look at you “threatening” to try and get me cancelled because I told you to calm it down a bit lol. You’re behaving like a child. Really you’re threatening me with what you just said lol.

Oh so they’re only killing each other cause they’re poor? Even the ones that aren’t? Odd.

Is there a single problem in the black community that isn’t caused by systemic racism in your opinion? Doesn’t seem like it.

You posting pro-ev site propaganda sources doesn’t help your cause lol

People don’t want second hand EVs precisely because of the battery warranty issue.

I don’t even need to look at your profile to know that you’re like a Bowen loving “renewables” grifter.

What’s hilarious is like I said way back at the start of this - my next car will be an EV, likely a Tesla. I’ve been a fan of them and following closely since the roadster. You ignore that though because I don’t just blindly ignore all inconvenient truths about them.

Also I am a moderator here so just watch where you’re going with that last paragraph.

Most people aren’t born into homelessness and never escape it. Most homeless people have ID and are registered to vote long before they become homeless.

but for some people it’s an insurmountable barrier

Literally never true.

And black on black homicide? Racism causing that?

I’m well aware that Lemmy is a faaaaaaar left commie platform.

You haven’t provided receipts, you’ve provided baseless pro-EV guesses and terribly inaccurate guesstimates.

You still can’t accept that buying a second hand EV, especially one out of warranty, is a massive risk.

The market agrees with me. Second hand EV sales, especially out of warranty ones, are immensely unpopular.

Why can’t homeless people vote?

And the black on black homocides, just going to ignore that? Or is that racism too?

It has not been proven that Tesla and ev batteries last that long on average.

The more renewables that are added to the grid the higher electricity prices go.

Swapping a petrol guzzling twin turbo bmw for a fuel efficient small diesel car will swing the cost calculation significantly favour of the ICE car. EV cars cost significantly more than ICE cars in their segment.

while external causes such as homicides and accidents dominated among those aged 5 to 19. For adults, circulatory system diseases contributed the most to the mortality gap.

So not racism or anything like that then.

Who are the people committing homicide against black people? Other black people, overwhelmingly so. And racism isn’t causing circulatory system diseases in black people lol.

Tl;dr: Black on black homicide, and disease.

Or, get this - if you want a switch 2, buy a switch 2 if you can afford it.

But most of these “consumer hostile” things aren’t really “consumer hostile” though. They’re just “not giving away stuff for free”.

By that reasoning, literally everything that requires the consumer to pay is “consumer hostile”.

What are these “consumer hostile” things specifically?

It’s ok, you can just admit you’re wrong or just say nothing at all.

The whole “vulnerable people” line is complete bullshit lol.
