Sure, I think so.
People are engaged, there’s not a lot of admirable decorum, but people are being interesting at least. I think the point was to highlight ongoing events of racism, I don’t know if that’s going to be the biggest takeaway or best function of the thread, but through some of the muck there’s some good things to think about.
I guess I don’t get your point. If you don’t find the thread valuable, interesting, or you don’t think it has a point, what are you doing? What’s your purpose?
I think enough people are participating, albeit in a pretty imperfect way, that if you don’t like the very existence of the thread, you could probably just ignore it. If you think there is potential value, feel free to post in a way that leads it here and hope it catches on!
