Ok.

So I don’t agree with this part: “No one who can actually fix the problem of the KKK and Nazis and/or police brutality is even at the stage of admitting these are actual problems.”

WE are (some of) the ones who should be fixing it. We do this in a lot of different ways-one of which is to call this shit out and make it intolerable. When we protest against oppression, it’s not just to convince our abusers that they were wrong, if that at all, it’s to engage bystanders and encourage ourselves to be strong.

I’m not sure what you mean here:

“We have a responsibility to our leadership when they hear us and act accordingly to give them the benefit of the doubt. When we get all upset and threaten them we become part of the problem.”

How is google firing his ass threatening leadership? Asking/demanding that Google hold him accountable is a legit ask, IMO. Derp/sorry/confused

I have problems with this paragraph:

“I just don’t think it applies in this situation because the systemic problem was acknowledged and the system is being worked on. I think its false equivalence to compare the googlebro with klan and Nazis in general, but more so because the klan and Nazis have the support of our President. Inside google the decision makers were supporting the oppressed already, to me, that’s empowering us to help them help us.”

By saying googlebro should be allowed to keep his job, you are saying his attitudes and behaviors still belong in that environment. I disagree with that. I did think maybe he could take a series of classes on it and then get monitored, and keep his job that way. At least that would send a clear message to the rest of the workforce there that the company isn’t backing his bullshit. It’s also, still, yet another example of a bully sliding by without much more than a slap on their wrist. I’m also doubtful that googlebro would sign up for that agreement.

I never equated him to a Nazi. I equated not showing up to fight back in either situation. Bullies everywhere have the support of lord dampnut; it isn’t just Nazis he’s enabling.

I dunno if that clears anything up? We may just be doomed to disagree. 😬🎉 I love you back tho! And want to hear what you think. 😊
