    "My post is about black crime, stop mentioning other things like white crime. Yes, I only post about black crime, are you trying to say black people never commit crime? That they should be allowed to commit crime? Thought so."

    Sometimes bringing up context is important for discussing issues that some people would like to keep in a vacuum. The US competing at those same Olympic games under no penalty would be fucked up and makes it obvious that if Belarus was penalized here, it would be due to western politicking and nothing else (Russia already has the doping issue, so idk about that one)

      No, you're not helping. At all. It's flamebait that can only derail the topic and turn into a circle jerk or verbal fistfight.

      Here's an example that may help: Why is China allowed to participate in the Olympics despite their genocides and brutal crackdowns? Why the double standard?

        See? You're demonstrating my point, it's not just indifferent, it has a motive.

        Though I don't think you're helping since Russia did invade while China is doing zero genocides.
