I'm not going to respond for the straw man, I'm sorry. He doesn't represent me. Your straw man version of me is not something I'm interested in. None of your arguments are attacking any positions that I take.
Me saying white people are and have been oppressive is not trivializing the cases of oppression that are happening or have happened across the globe. If you want to have an honest accounting of these things - then by all means, go right ahead. I was simply offering my opinion within the context of the Michael Brown case. I wanted to stay on topic - and for the millionth god damn time, focusing on white America's oppressive nature is right on target.
That's not a narrative. If you want to speak out against false narratives, then go fucking speak out against false narratives. Don't invent an imaginary position that you think I might take based on nothing more than speculation and then tell me that I'm wrong for holding that position. That's not my position. Go shove your garbage down someone else's throat.
