Your biblical understanding is weak. https://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/meekness/
The meek response would not have been to walk away but rather stand firm in the face of unfair circumstances because of your strength. The meek do not bow to the unjust, they stoically meet the unjust without arrogance but with the assurance of faith. What you propose is farther from meek than what they actually did. Being meek and being weak are not the same thing, or did you forget that part of the Bible where Jesus knocked over the money changer's tables and cast them from his Father's house?
The Bible wrote: 13And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables https://biblehub.com/kjv/john/2.htm

Jesus, the most meek of all, straight up whipped people out of the temple. That seems at odds with submitting the public space to the unjust.
Or you remove any satisfaction they could have gotten.

They simply want attention. Get rid of that and you give the bullys nothing.

They gain nothing from the experience, while you gain not having an asshole taunt you.

What are you, a 90's school counselor? Some bullies want attention. Others want nothing more than to humiliate and assert their control over other people and shared spaces. In the latter case they want you to be cowed.

A lot higher if we let them get away with this by forgetting it.

If I had to place a number on it, 100%. If they can get away with it here, what's stopping them from doing it again?

What you're saying is that anything less than being cowed, anything less than responding to hostility with meekness or retreat is foolshiness. Let's not mince words: it's fucking ridiculous for you to say that. It's fucking absurd that you would call standing your ground in the capital despite unprovoked hostility idiotic.


See: me blaming the drummer and the other native americans for also being assholes

Meek will inherit the earth, turning the other cheek is always better than retaliating.


If you're a fan of getting taken advantage of by bullies, then it is.

And they won't inherit the earth by being cowards. There will always be bullies, and they will take over the earth if the meek do nothing.

You do know how to deal with a bully right? Give them no attention and they will get bored and go away.

Fuck the meek and anyone who takes shit because it's easier than standing your ground.



It isn't ok. I never said it was ok.

Remember kids, if a bully is kicking the shit out of you because they just hate you, don’t fight back in self defense. That makes you just as bad as your aggressor. Instead, just take it. Like a little bitch. You’ll get the earth, somehow.

We're not even talking about "fighting back" we're talking about chanting your school spirit song and dancing in response to racial hostility. This could have been a fucking Disney special.

Singing and dancing in the face of racial abuse. Jesus Christ, Derpy is calling an action that could have conceivably been a tactic used by the Civil Rights movement “stooping to [the racists] level”.

The same goes for the owners of the said media. If they had the opportunity thoose media moguls would wish to genocide whites.

I don't. WaPo is an important perspective to consider.

I do hope though that he gets enough to make it sting and cause WaPo to avoid this pain in the future by being more careful and judicious in its reporting.

Spot on. WaPo is among the MOST dishonest of the dishonest, liberal media. The word "egregious" is probably used too often, but it is 100% appropriate as a description of WaPo's libelous actions. If and when WaPo is dealt a severe financial blow in punishment for its behavior, I will certainly be pleased.

And this is only the start. You can bet more lawsuits are in the works against other dishonest, liberal media outlets and various so-called entertainers. Seeing them squirm will be enjoyable too.

Yes but shutting down WaPo isn’t a good idea. They actually have some very good points and generally provide a good, well balanced read.
