false dichotomies are really weak arguments

miscPerson|5 years ago

It’s not a false dichotomy — it’s pointing out a differing standard in conduct based on race, which is racism.

It’s also pointing out that the fundamental choice in what’s acceptable or not is dumb: someone who made a mistake while young and genuinely has tried to build a better life should be welcomed into society, while criminals who continue to promote a criminal and violent lifestyle should not be.

It’s also mocking that people who talk about “social justice” are often deeply racist and unforgiving people — which perhaps could be fairly criticized for tone, but is again not a false dichotomy.
