Are we saying that having any level of disagreement is now low quality? My post was well thought-out,

  1. I didn't defend racism.
  2. I didn't cape for her.
  3. I didn't try to justify her behavior.
I just simply stated that I don't agree with it being classified as racism. My post even-though contrary to other viewpoints is very logical and well spoken...it's of much better quality than a multitude of posts in that thread. Flagging posts like this diminishes the value of low quality warnings and turns this into a reddit type site where people can't even disagree. It's even more offensive considered that most of those people in that thread haven't even supported the site when I have.

I think if we being intellectually honest we can’t say this was a racist comment. The metaphor made perfect sense and I get what she meant; I think what was displayed here was ignorance rather than racism...ignorance to the fact that associating African Americans with monkeys has been a historically racist practice of whites.

I’m not rewriting what she said but what I heard her say is “I’m not trying to act Black, I grew up around nothing but Black people and by default have adopted the speech patterns and cultural practices of those in my neighborhood”. Once again, she used a shytty metaphor but I think saying it’s racist is a stretch...
