I don’t really see how taking docs offline helps anyone either functionally or symbolically.
It calls attention to the issue.
I'd say we're all fairly well aware of it though.

#24cockSec or cuckSec, what ever these authoritarians that keep flagging BLM are alive and well.

#25Why would this be a good thing? Why not leave the docs up to help further educate people, but put a banner on top of the site to show respect like Hacker News does? You can call attention more so by reserving a nice area of at the top of the page and logo while still encouraging people to come and learn. Now people will just go there and leave. I can't see how this would get people to care or care more? Just my opini…
Because educating people on racism and police brutality is far more important than educating someone on a navigation library.

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
George Floyd is an instance of a very, very difficult video to watch. Even when you’ve been desensitized to watching people be violently subdued under seemingly peaceful conditions, the absolute lack of humanity of his actions is undeniable. There are also other events that happened last week: the murder of Breonna Taylor by plain clothes cops in a no-knock raid where her boyfriend called the cops that murdered her t…
This actually happened across several months, but much of it did become public within a very short period of time. Breonna Taylor was shot near the end of February, Ahmaud Arbery a few weeks later, and George Floyd was murdered around 2.5 months following that. Unfortunately these sorts of events happen far too often and don't always gain the widespread attention they should in a timely manner.
Ach, my bad. I do remember discussing this well before last week.

This is how you know someone doesn’t have a spine.

#30Hmmmmmmmmmmm. What happened to Mr. Floyd is a tragedy. This just comes off poorly though, no matter how well-intentioned. Understood that you want to show the world you care. This just seems small, pointless, and unsubstantial. Why not have a button that solicits donations instead of crippling functionality that somebody expects to be there?
The idea is to get YOU to care.
It's condescending to assume I don't care already.
This makes the maintainer feel better and that's it. Pure theater.
A donation to an anti police brutality legal fund would actually accomplish something. End qualified immunity.
