Explain to me why Debian supporting black live matters is important
Discussion
Explain to me where you get the idea I'm in the class of people you can just take your issues out on
Because silence is complicity
IMO all lives matter, not just black.
What does mattering mean to you?
If it's just a feeling, yeah, all lives matter.
If it's supposed to reflect reality, then no. All lives feel like they matter, but most have their importance cancelled out by other lives because humans are so predatory and unintelligent.
So let's go back to Debian case, why bringing people into the project based on their race is better than bringing people based on their competence?
Nobody involved in Debian is competent to begin with
We didn't take care of our competent coder and he died homeless being hit by a train
If you can't find another competent coder and get them to work on Debian then where do you get the right to bitch
I don't follow your logic, maybe I'm not smart enough
Terry Davis is the only coder that ever proved he had the skill to work on an OS with a GUI and everything (like a modern OS)
He died homeless being hit by a train
No matter how many black people you hire, letting the one good coder be homeless and killed by a train is the way to not bring good coders into Debian
I partially agree, but then how do you solve this problem?
For Debian, we don't solve it. Debian has always stagnated and died, and that's all it will ever do, until its name is forgotten. Ideally, people of different backgrounds feel included in the mean time.
For a future with a good OS, we need talented coders to focus on core concepts and code commentation so the human soul can keep up with what's going on while AI tries to develop a soulless version of the skills Terry Davis had.
Of course that's true. The problem is that some people don't place much value on certain lives, so while society has made it crystal clear it places a high value on, say, white lives, it doesn't place near the same value on black lives. BLM is an attempt to directly address that, to bring attention to the fact that black lives aren't equally valued by society even though they should be.
Replacing one lie with another isn't a great idea.
The truth isn't that black lives matter, it's that racist lives generally don't.
People who went "black lives matter" instead of "racist lives don't matter" were focused on money instead of truth, and being obsessed with money seems to psychologically fit with being racist in the humans of the world I've seen.
Yes, but then who decides what and who is a racist?
The average BLM supporter thinks racism = ethnic prejudice so they would mean ethnically prejudiced people. Instead of pretending to think there's confusion over whether anyone values black lives, they would be telling the truth about their desire to prove it's impossible to rule out warfare and killings against ethnically prejudiced people.
The average BLM supporter is also ethnically prejudiced, and also pretends humans aren't one race, which is the real racism. They would rather say "black lives matter" because if they admitted "racist lives don't usually matter" they'd be admitting they're in a pointless fight killing people just like them and getting killed for the same reasons they kill other people for.
