      I think you need to word it better, call it the “I don’t want to deal with your crazy racist shithead father (who ruins every Thanksgiving) running out with a gun when I drop you off mode”

      Not sure why you’re being downvoted. In the South this is still a legitimate safety issue. America is a racist shithole

        He’s probably being downvoted because his argument seems too similar to the flawed argument that women should have their clothing choices restricted because some men can’t control themselves. It seems like a form of victim blaming/punishing.

          That was not the argument at all, and your assessment is so far out of left field that I’m not entirely sure you actually read it. Seeing how calling out racism was removed as racism, I won’t revisit it, though.
