Have any of you ever thrown a cat in the air for entertainment? If not, you're probably priveleged.

That seems like a bizarre take-away, to be honest. Are you sure you're not just being contrarian to pick a fight and stir some shit? Trag and I aren't judging him or his experiences. I believe has been through some heavy stuff and I'm sure that stuff has had a powerful affect on his worldview. None of that has anything to do with what tree was talking about as I understood it. But, again, I admit, I got a lost in exactly what we were discussing. So, maybe I'm wrong.
I'm just calling it the way I see it. No gimmick.
I mean, I've been through some heavy shit and have had a pretty shitty life, but I don't think that holds a candle to minority struggles of everyday life in this country.

Absolutely some white people have had it worse than some black people-- same with every race. I feel like getting hung up on that is missing the point in conversations about systemic imbalances.
That's all pretty unrelated to this Kendrick thing, where I still think he was in the wrong.

He makes a lot of valid points. I don't subscribe to everything he says. I like this video.

Not a dumb tool in this video. Not obvious to everyone. I think the video funny. Just cause I like the video doesn't mean I subscribe to everything he espouses.

As far as Twitter outrage accounts go, I prefer Ian Miles Cheong or neontaster. Watson is too much of a Trump shill account for me.
