that compared to a lot of other things happening in the world, 5 dead isn't that big of a tragedy. That was the comparison I was noting. it doesn't even change much in the US homicide rate either; it doesn't even change the Dallas homicide rate notably.

not sure how much longer I'll be on for; but if you think of something to say later, or want clarification, you can always pm, or just ask in thread and someone else may be able to answer it.

This line reasoning logically concludes in nihilism. Any tragedy is going to seem meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
-'2 dead isn't that big of a tragedy. the homocide rate hasn't really changed much' in response to the two blacks who were just executed by cops-
If someone had said that 2 days ago I wouldn't be surprised if they received a warning, let alone imagining the amount of people posting here who would pounce on it as being a morally questionable thing to say.
Personally it doesn't offend me I just think it's stupid to post about for the nihilistic conclusions it leads to when you apply that logic to your life.

Im just baffled how you do not view this as a tragedy. Honestly I was shocked that this occured, it was all over our news too.

only if you're goign to be silly and slipper slope it into nihilism. but i'm not going to be silly, idunno what your plan is.
I'm only arguing about the scale of the tragedy, and with ample justification. I doubt that many people would post on it being morally questionable, as I never disputed whether it was tragic, merely the scale, again with ample justification.

My debate is abotu scale; 5 dead is not that big a tragedy. what about the other 40 people murdered in the US today? Let alone the far far worse things that have happened elsewhere.

I'd love to see you post like this every time a tragedy happens in America. 10/10
'Only 2 black people were executed by cops? Millions live in America 2 is not that many in the grand scheme of things. How many die in Chicago every day from black-on-black-violence?'
Like why even make that post

Ten states lodged a new legal challenge on Friday against the Obama administration’s requirement that public schools allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Nebraska, comes after 11 other states sued to block the same policy in May. Barack Obama announced the new rules as his administration fought an intensifying battle with North Carolina, which passed a law barring transgender people from using bathrooms and other gendered facilities that don’t match the gender listed on their birth certificates. The federal policy applies to every public school district in the country, and districts that fail to comply risk forfeiting millions in federal funding.
With Friday’s lawsuit, the number of states challenging the policy reaches almost two dozen. Many observers predict that the battle will ultimately come before the supreme court.
Bathroom access is just one flashpoint in a far-reaching clash over transgender rights. This year alone, state lawmakers introduced dozens of bills that would permit broad discrimination against transgender individuals in hiring, housing and business, sometimes on the basis of religion.

Yes in cases of other 40 dead I would also deem that person's post as unaceptable and disrespective of the victims.

Yet we see nobody bring those tragedies up.. See the problem? Or rather, his argument?
edit: to be clear, i don't necessarily share his views. I do understand what he's trying to say though.

I am talking about that black ladies twitter post specifically. I didnt go into anything else.
Anyway i dont see his argument. Because this is not such a big tragedy I shouldnt think that that lady went too far?
