I gave you enough credit to think that you'd be able to figure out what was meant on your own but I guess you don't possess that ability. And actually, that IS what I said initially. You and the other guy are just trying to play dumb and act as if you all don't know what I'm saying in order to support your narrative.

Shooting apes on sight doesn't leave a whole lot of room for interpretation.

It absolutely does. This is because when we refer to "animals" or "apes" or whatever, we're referring to behavior. You're referring to skin color. You make it racist. We're focusing on actions, which define people.

You do this because it's the only way you can protest. Everyone standing against those protesting and rioting must be racist. They can't possibly have a point - protestors (black, white, whatever) are always right!

That black man breaking into a shoe store to steal some Nike sneakers? It's because he's poor! The two guys smashing an electronics store up and taking TVs? Slavery's fault! The women tearing through a Circle-K? That's something to do with White Privilege!

Never once is it the fault of the individual - the animal - who is behaving poorly.

1. How many times have you read of white protesters being referred to as "apes"? (And before you respond "lots", provide a few examples)

2. Do you really see no difference between shooting someone trespassing on your property and shooting somebody "on sight"?

Dude, I'm not about to debate minute, micro issues over my choice of wording so don't even bother quoting me again. The smart people understood what I was saying and that's all that matters.

Lol ,
I have to ask Tsing , can what Ricter just said be described as ''Rhetorical'' ?

Sure, but it isn't a rhetorical question. Just rhetoric. I'm glad you're coming to me more often for your education, Spike. We'll make an educated man out of you yet.
