1.” You keep deflecting the main point I’m trying to make, which is that you jumped to conclusions. You say you “never claimed whether Derrick Rose was guilty or innocent.” But, here is one of you early statements in this terrible conversation we’re having: “ Mr. Thompson, do I think that this rape occurred of course I do. It has all of the earmarks of abuse.” You are delusional on a Donald Trump-esque level when you refute things you’ve said less than 48 hours prior.”
Rape is a fact of life and from Rose’s own statements he does’t have repect for himself or women. It highly plausible that it happened. I cannot based upon his celebrity assume that he couldn’t have done it. And, I am responding to your earlier statement not deflecting from anything. Now your gaslighting yourself. And, to put this in perspective, I am not a juror on Rose’s rape trial. My personal opinion does not affect anything pertaining to that case, nor is a reflection upon any other rape case. And, why didn’t you answer my question about that post rape text exchange?
2.” Further, the fact that you compare “pro-women” as pejorative in the same sense as the “N” word further solidifies your total lack of perspective. If pejorative at all, “pro-women” could never have the historic vitriol of any racial epithets. You’re insulting black Americans everywhere by comparing the two.”
My point made from having the experience of being called a nigger three time in my life. The first, about age of six when a white boy punched me in the stomach and used the word. Another time about the same age by another kid who being babysat the same babysitter. And, when I was sixteen and standing at a bus stop by a young latino male hanging his head out of the window of a car he was a passenger in. Your are once again drawing a very specific conclusion when there could be a million other conclusions that are possible.
3.” You show a serious lack of knowledge on most things. You know why child molestation laws don’t make consent an element? Because American common-law says minors cannot consent — to sex, to contracts, to ANYTHING.”
Yet, again drawing a conculsion with no information. This conversation has only been about few things which are not relevant to most knowledge that one can have in a lifetime. So, unless you are judging my intelligence upon whether or not I tell you what you want to read then you have not cause to make such a declaration. And, the same thing about children applies to adults if they are mentally incapacitated. Which is why the contract in that court case was thrown out.
4.” Please stop talking to me. You just delivered a point-by-point rant where you basically proved that you are not interested in discourse — you want to be right. If you aren’t some suburban youth, then tell me otherwise. You keep harping on my assumptions, but not refuting them.”
You have several times referenced what you consider my lack of humanity, yet you think you can control my actions. All, you can do Mr. Thompson is control your actions. I have not engaged in any behavior that would force you to continue to repsond. However, if you think I have forced you physically to continue to respond I am willing to examine whatever you proof you have.
All in all, Mr. Thompson, I wish you no ill will. But, you have a great problem with hyposcrisy. I don’t believe its on purpose, but rather that you are incapable of seeing it for some reason. And, I stand by my earlier recommendation that you sit down with an older woman you respect and have a long conversation. Not a woman in her 20’s, 30’s or 40’s, but one in her twilight years who has lived full life.
