It really doesn't take much for you to willingly express them at me for little to no reason.

I hate donald trump, I hate GOP politicians, I have nothing to do with the "alt right". I hate the concept of judging anyone by the way they were born. I judge based on actions and words. If you think it's okay to disparage people based on race, I'm sorry, I respectfully disagree and that's not "Alt right".

STFU about politics and SJW nonsense.

exactly. not too much invested besides a lot of time. i think i'm just grieving the loss of this band and what it represented to me. i'm not saying my obsession was a healthy thing, but having to part ways, even when you know it's the right thing to do, sucks.

how many people have to walk away from this guy before he realizes HE has to own responsibility for his actions? i guess the entire fan base could do it, but SMs will always be there to pack out 20 people in whatever venue he chooses to perform after this greatest hits tour.

i would be skeptical too, but goddamn it, he could try. the closest i've seen to him attempt something like this was during the auggieblahblah interview with the canadian guy and Balls was sitting at the piano. i think he played neil young as an outro. but during the interview, he expressed some apparent and seemingly legitimate words about his past indiscretions. i was like, ok, cool, finally! this is someone i can respect.

then the d'arcy thing happened, that stupid photo, mancow making a contest out of a physical injury, the entire band not acknowledging anything about it, hiring jack bates, and doing the sell out tour- which he slammed every other band in history for doing. and bringing back the siamese dream girls, after talking so much shit about how nostalgia acts are irrelevant. but he needs money, so now it's okay. he just sickens me. more than before, and that's saying something.

And the fact that I'm black has nothing to do with it.

It's like saying that ethnicity X is for whatever reason more racist than ethnicity Y, because that's just the way it is...?

Separated by almost 200 years and 10+ generations of those wrongdoings, judging anybody by their skin color is a fucking sham. I don't care how you label it. I wouldn't want to be called a n***** more than I would call any white person I don't know entitled.

He was liberal in the 90s but maybe that was the influence of his band mates? Heck as recently as 2008 he was an Obama supporter. Idk what his deal is.

white people are privileged. that's not the same thing as entitled, but one can lead to another. billy fucking corgan is definitely a privileged, entitled, rich white person. the idea that he will become a privileged, rich, humble white person is extremely far-fetched. it isn't because of his skin color but his skin color makes him de-facto privileged, and years of him being abused and him abusing others just adds to it.

I am also a black person & there is a huge difference between the systemic racism us black people are oppressed by & that one time a white person was called whatever.
I live with anti blackness every day and it's why I made it so I can't have children because I wouldn't want them to experience what I do simply for being black.

So are people really falling for the troll or is it just one person with multiple accounts talking to himself?

How is saying "no one should be judged by the color of their skin, but by the character of their actions" troll behavior? (If you werent talking about me, I apologize)

because you can't ignore the roles society forces upon us by virtue of our birth and expect to understand human behavior at the same time. that goes for race, gender identity, wealth, location, etc

of course people should be judged by their actions, but their actions happen IN CONTEXT, and that context is important. using a label like "white man" is a short way to get at that issue of context, because (most) everyone knows white people have certain advantages that people of other races do not, men have a certain status in society compared to women, etc etc

pretty basic stuff

I actually though Louis CK's apology was pretty decent. Or at least as decent as such a thing could be. It doesn't change what he did, but at least he didn't deny the victims or try to explain away his actions. Kevin Spacey can get fucked though.

I don't deny that, and I understand that. But that doesn't make it okay to insult all white men. The person that brought up race in this thread implied that BC will never be humble because he's a white man. And thank you for being respectful and thoughtful in your response.

He never even uses the words "sorry" or "apologize" on his letter.
He owned up to it, which is more that can be said for a lot of the people who got exposed, but that does not a sincere apology make.
