I totally agree that nobody deserves to die. I do not actually endorse murder, or any form of violent response to oppression.
As I stated earlier, I was being hyperbolic. I had a strong emotional response to the article and I made a joke about it. I did not mean to debase the quality of the conversation here and I regret the callous way I expressed what I said.
I think this company is not such a great place to work... if you are black. Having mentioned that... uh... MURDER???
We should try to keep in mind that this company really may be no worse than the average SF company full of people accustomed to getting their own way. Oftentimes, people just don't know they are being offensive. It is not malice, so much as the obliviousness that accompanies any privilege. These people DO NOT deserve to die. I personally don't think anyone does.
People have a right to be disappointed here, but really, let's try to elevate the tone.
