        All right, I’ll put it in as simple terms as possible, as you seem to need it.

        I disagreed with that quote so intensely that I couldn’t even bring myself to explain why. I just needed you to know that the act of sharing that quote, let alone coming up with it, was pure cringe. Seriously “in this moment I am euphoric”-tier. I mean “the unjust man”… just cmon. It’s basically just telling you to be unyielding. Nothing but banal, vapid propaganda that could just as easily adorn the walls of the NSDAP as the NAACP.

        “I simply asked if you have value.” All right, let me “simply ask” you if colored people have value. Infer anything from that?

            Of course an unjust man would be unjust. Truly a profound statement. One for the ages.

            Good job on the inference. Now I’m just left wondering if you’re being purposefully obtuse or just can’t help it.

                Touché.

                Sorry about the replies earlier, I wasn’t in the best mood and I can only look back in embarrassment. You have your convictions and I have mine, and it’ll take a lot more than a comment thread to change our respective courses. The least we can do is be civil, and I failed that standard with my juvenile first reply. I should have just said that I think that the concept of “unjust” is somewhat relative and left it at that.
