UPDATE
"civility" is used by white people as a cudgel against people of color fighting oppression
I agree with you that it can be used as such. I also would point out that, again, that doesn't mean it's always used like that.
I'm pretty sure there's a large number of mothers who would smack their sons silly if their boys mouthed off to them the way Mr. Brooks has been mouthing off to the judge, regardless of skin color.
from my perspective it is pretty much always used like that
And I would never suggest that your perspective is invalid.
Nevertheless the courtroom does have certain rules of conduct and he has violated them repeatedly.
But more to the point the nature of what he says and how he says it still suggest the pattern of behavior classic to that of an abusive person.
you are saying my perspective is invalid by continuing to disagree
I am sorry if I have made you feel this way with what I've said. It was not my intention.
its okay everyone makes mistakes the important thing is that we learn and grow

It really is fricking great. Itβs fun arguing like a typical redditor cause itβs too fricking easy. Just blame the system and racism.
Easy as shit to hook these people too, as they arenβt used to being on the receiving end of unhinged redditor takes and believe common sense will prevail and change minds. If it was me, I wouldnβt even bother cause I know itβs useless arguing Redditors.
Fun to flip the script but the irony of it all will be lost with them.

Seeing their tepid centrist "b-but" takes when you know they want to scream the n-word is glorious. About half of them are leaving the subreddit Grand Dragons.
