The press may have been against Megan (for good reason imo) but that doesn't mean it has anything to do with her race. The press tear a part plenty of white people, if it sells, they'll sell it, simple as that.
Megan and Harry's behaviour has been questionable to say the least. It's all up for debate and criticism. Some seem to have a problem with this, and brand others against Hollywood's hottest couple 'haters'. Well would that make those for them 'lovers'? It works both ways. As for you saying im angry, throwing a fit, defensive? Well you do this all the time, it doesn't bother me it amuses me. It's an easy and cheap way to try and dis-credit any opinion, debate or argument on given subject. And it's kinda ironic in the sense that you're probably the most aggressive poster on this forum. **** blah blah blah ****** etc etc etc ****** white supremacists ****** racism ***** Trumps dick *****. You get the gist.
And defending some of their behaviour would in turn make those people megan lovers, it's swings and roundabouts. You can dislike someone without hating. I really have no idea why this ever became questioned? Is it all just love and hate, no in between?? Ridiculous.
Don't worry, im used to it now. Some people just need a bit more self awareness  |
So, you're telling me that none of the hatred Meghan gets is at all racially motivated? Really? You're gonna try and push that angle? The fact that you, a white person, also then tried to make out racism doesn't have to be discussed around in every subject featuring a non-white person is laughable. Racism doesn't affect you, but it certainly affects non-white people and a lot of this post comes across as you simply being tired of the discussion of racism which you should be glad you have that luxury. Non-white people can't be 'bored' of the discussion of it because they live it.
Discussion is good, not liking them is good but the level of hate they get is irrational and I truly don't think you'd be making the same argument if the situation was reversed and I was the one obsessively hating on Meghan. I think your tune would change then. The level of hatred they get is just not healthy, people hate them in the royal family, they hate them when they leave, they hate them for 'scrounging' they hate them for daring to get a job... It's insane.
I don't discredit opposing views, I argue against them. I don't need to make someone to discredit them, I just prefer to straight up argue why they are wrong. You're confusing me with others by saying that I rely on discrediting people when I make more efforts to write good arguments against opposing viewpoints. Also your last line on this subject is confusing, you find me to aggressive when speaking about white supremacists? Do you want me to treat someone who thinks of black people as subhuman with respect? Grim.
As for the weird 'Megan lovers' line. You're pushing false equivalency there. Defending someone against irrational hatred (IE, finding a reason to hate on a woman regardless of what she does) is not the same as being some sort of obssessed fan. Thinking someone is not worthy of hate is not the same as dishing out hatred on the regular.
As for your post to Jet, I'm gonna give you a tip, if you want to pull off a little gotcha moment by using someone's words against them, context is very important. If the context isn't there then your little attempt at a gotcha falls to pieces. Remember that next time, and you're welcome
