<p>That ain't 'my fellow cyclist' because the world is more complex than that.</p>
<p>Those shootings are not remote or obscure unless you live a delightfully sheltered life where you just don't pay attention to things that are difficult.</p>

<p>This. To start, it is not my job to research racism and violence towards children. I am a WOC and if you want to criticize me for what you think is "overreacting," read this first. The two people I directed my comments to have had a long-standing consistency of opinions and POV that led me to say what I said. I do not need to defend it and tbh, am generally disappointed with the knee-jerk reactions to defend them and remain silent when they marginalize me by talking about me in third person,…</p>

I do not need to defend it and tbh, am generally disappointed with the knee-jerk reactions to defend them and remain silent when they marginalize me by talking about me in third person, refusing to directly address me, and ALWAYS getting my name wrong. No, it isn't a "typo". Take the time to get it right. I am a human being. </p>

<p>This was an interesting thread last week when Curtis and Keto Guy were discussing statements purported to be from BLM supporting the recent looting as reparations. Both seemed to come from a point of support for BLM the concept but it was unclear whether they agreed on support for BLM as an organization. Although both have often expressed strong feelings here, they both kept restraint and I was enjoying reading their responses to each other. Then Bob asked a naive question…</p>
<p>This was an interesting thread last week when Curtis and Keto Guy were discussing statements purported to be from BLM supporting the recent looting as reparations. Both seemed to come from a point of support for BLM the concept but it was unclear whether they agreed on support for BLM as an organization. Although both have often expressed strong feelings here, they both kept restraint and I was enjoying reading their responses to each other. Then Bob asked a naive question with a clear typo of a name and forgetting about two more remote police murders that show the longstanding nature of the problem at hand, and got dumped upon. Glad to know we are all feeling it because those feelings are called for but when those feelings come out like a double edged sword we can cut our fellow cyclists with so-called friendly fire. Let's discuss and even argue...about this thread and not the short comings real or imagined or misdeeds or riding skills of the contributors.</p> Bobbert said: "I want to be a…tag:thechainlink.org,2020-08-17:2211490:Comment:11398532020-08-17T17:38:09.862ZDoug Hayneshttps://thechainlink.org/profile/DougHaynes

<p>If you don't know the names of Tamir, Laquan, and Aiyana and you don't know their stories, you have not been paying attention. This isn't obscure news Bob. </p>
<p>And with the way you have treated me for years, I'm not surprised. I have no problem with telling you to Google it yourself and will continue to do so. Might be time for a little self-reflection on how you view, treat, and talk about people of color. </p>
