Doubtful. Consider the type - it's all about "look at me, look at me, look at what a good person I am". They don't really give a shit about these causes, it's just an opportunity for them to be relevant and self-important.CenterBHSFan;1824283 wrote: I do think that SJW's will learn to notch down their social engineering tactics.

Let's see reports to actual law enforcement - let's not take the word of activists pushing agendas as facts without actual reports (which are a crime to falsify).

Just did a Google News Article search, I found it. So far in 2016 we're up to 481. That's 481 too many in my book.fish82;1824726 wrote:It's in most articles...albeit way at the bottom, well below the inflammatory headline.

The only funny part is how you couldn't wait to post the "Muslim hate crimes up 67% ZOMG IT'S A FREAKING EPIDEMIC" meme, when the raw numbers tell a pretty different story.Commander of Awesome;1824732 wrote:http://www.newsweek.com/fbi-reports-highest-number-hate-crimes-against-muslims-september-11-attacks-521305
This article has a different number.
According to the bureau's Hate Crimes Statistics report, there were 257 incidents against Muslims in 2015—the highest number since 2001 when anti-Muslim sentiment escalated after the September 11 attacks.
This year’s report, which contains data from 14,997 law enforcement agencies, reveals 5,850 criminal incidents and 6,885 related offenses that were motivated by bias against race, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender and gender identity.
That's from the FBI, which I trust, and poses a very different reality than the 251 which you find funny.

Is it 251/481 too many? Of course...I don't think any reasonable person would dispute that. Let's just dial back the hysteria a little bit, and all will be well.
Yeah, that's what happened. :rolleyes:Commander of Awesome;1824735 wrote:But I gave you an opportunity to LOL at hate crimes! Well done!

I take nothing back about what I reported/said. Going from 1 to 10 in a year when we elect a bigoted racist sexual predator is significant in my book. Guess we don't all have the same standards of human decency though. Interesting.

Truly shocking and unacceptable. I demand we halt the world and declare it racist/sexist until that number is 0. Thank god for Social Justice.

Bolded for you to read the important part.
Who knows anymore? There's no standards for social injustice and its being used solely for identity politics and ostracizing groups that don't buy into the hysteria. There's no solutions, no discussions, it's merely a "See this statistic that proves nothing but doesn't look great, are you outraged by this and if not you are a racist/sexist."fish82;1824747 wrote:CoA is pretty wound up, and having trouble figuring out exactly what it is he's arguing.
