Read the entire article, and I came back with the intent of asking in which way this could be described as bad philosophy, but I guess the sub has nothing to do with its name anymore. It's great that we're using the audience already here to spread messaging and discuss an important issue, but damn the sub name is really, really misleading now

You don’t have to subscribe or read it - to be honest, you can find the stuff you want in your groups and circles if you prefer that. I can also make it easier for you to do this...

I'm really not against the initiative taken here. BLM is an important cause, and giving people a platform which already has an audience to reach out to to discuss it is a good cause. Essentially my only point was that the sub name is now really, really unfourtunate. People who aren't as invested in the sub and don't read the comments / the sidebar come and see posts with 100+ upvotes describing legitimate and good philisophical takes on the importance of equality as "bad philosophy".

I was ready to write a lengthy post why this is not bad philosophy until I remembered the changed sub rules. It's nice to read some easy approachable philosophy of language sometimes.

I’m guessing you haven’t read the new description for badphilosophy. It’s about philosophy of race now.

What matters is how it’s twisted and intended. People are so stuck on semantics to stop and realize that just possibly, there are reparations to be made. If white people think they are oppressed they are manufacturing a resistance to reality which requires education.

All Lives Matter is def not accurate.

As a Hispanic, I can definitely see we don't matter to the media and other White Knights
