Way to go DISCORD!
Way to go DISCORD!
Really? You are forcing your politics on a service people use mainly for gaming and to get away from all the craziness in the world?
When I logged in today and the saw BLM banner, read the blog, I immediately cancelled my subscription. Yes I said subscription. I was actually supporting this service with money. No more. Especially after reading the blog and seeing this:-
Two weeks ago, Discord donated a combined $150,000 to the Equal Justice Initiative, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the National Bail Fund Network.
I will not support a company that supports these organizations.
I was offended by the blog. But I can not say that because I'm a white male, which makes me a racist by color. I am a retired US Army soldier. The only color I see is green. I have/had brothers and sisters that are green. No other color. I will not rant any further and disrupt the narrative that the millennials and left are pushing.

Don't be afraid to speak your mind, soldier. The color of your skin, no matter what color what is, should never diminish the worth of your statement.
Thank you for fighting for us. Now it's time we fight for you.
My advice would be to treat this like an academic essay and go into specific reasons that support the points you're making. You don't have to do that, of course. It's your choice.
But if you do decide do go that route, just take it one step at a time and explain the following:
- Why you take issue with BLM (in capital letters, BLM is the politcal group Black Lives Matter which is linked to the Democratic party)
- Why people need neutral places to go to
- Specific issues you have with the Equal Justice Initiative, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and the National Bail Fund Network
If you put in the work and effort to do that (which again, you are under no obligation to do), you will help people understand where you're coming from and not immediately label you one thing or another.
One of the reasons that people are scared to speak out is because theories like "white fragility" which are applied to conversations like this are graduate to PhD level critical theories. It's not something that someone outside of Academia can jump into very easily. The fear that you might say something that gets interpreted the wrong way is a perfectly valid concern. The way you combat that is by just taking your time and backing up every point you make with reason and logic.
I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for your service to our country. It will not be in vain.

i cant help adding my opinion to this.
issues with BLM? damn, where would you start?
They say they are against racism and violence - it sounds noble, black lives matter. Yet what they spread is violence and racism towards everybody who is not black. Many people have said this and i will again now: it's a joke. Black lives matter only when someone white is involved and that is what it is about. Again, racism and hate.
Companies are lining up to be the most tolerant and say black lives matter just to take some kind of moral high ground. Apparently they agree with all that movement has said and done - this sickens me.
