If you'd like to discuss with me, I generally prefer people don't try to imply that I'm saying something.

All I'm saying is that you make it seem like the south is the only place with racist law enforcement, it's not.

Law enforcement is racist. Laws are geared against minorities, this is a rule of fact everywhere in the US.

As I said, you're making implications and reading much more into it than I intended. What I said was exactly what I meant, nothing more nothing less.

As I said, I prefer people try not to imply I'm saying something given you didn't listen for the 2nd chance I see no reason for continue the conversation. Have a good one.

You're feigning ignorance, please stop.

After all, ignorance is no excuse for the law.

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yet again, you continue to assume and make an ass of yourself and me. So allow me to be clear, I'm asking you to fuck off.

You're being a dick so now I'll insist, go shove your opinion back up your ass and get fucked.

Come back when you learn how to listen without assumption.

wah, wah police are only bad in the south

ur being mean, ON THE INTERNET

You can shove your opinion (your actual opinion, what I stated about law enforcement is not opinion) up your ass as well, especially since you're going to generalize half a country based on the actions of the shitty few. There are shitty people everywhere, and you seem to be one of them, you bitter piece of shit.

Lol says the guy who would rather have a conversation with what he thinks other people are saying than listen to them.

Toodles dipshit.

Oh really then? What exactly IS it that you're saying?
