"Racial Equality"

[toeskr]

Nope, and I've pointed this out many times,
he says what they think and they love it.
Lets them try to pass as "reasonable."


I'm more likely to call out busybody,
and have many times, but its
like trying to find the door



in The Wall...

And when their mob comes to burn their house down and there is no one to help... they will wonder why. Bu... bu... but I was one of your most virtuous of virtue signalers.

The house of cards or another brick in.

 

[SpeareChucker]

There have been a couple of recent stories about virtue-signalers
being eaten alive by the mob for not being virtuous.






I love the whiff of Schadenfreude
in the morning...

I know, I laff. There was a thread about a mayor or entitled person of color encouraging until...

Shit gets real when you realize it's your shit they are coming after and don't care about you. But isn't that the agenda being pushed? I love it.

The NFL is going to have to learn the hard way too...




Let the shakedown-takedown begin.



If I were the owner of the Raiders,
I'd shuck the white privilege logo
and go with the Las Vegas Virus.
That's much more intimidating.
You know, lockdown defense...

Kapernik, relegated to waterboy. No judgment on skin color or experience or re All.

It's just that he is not that good.

History is full of what could have bens.

 

[bellisarius]

This thread illustrates clearly that Bellisarius and like minded people have missed the entire point and object of the recent protests. Bellisarius set the subject of debate and then further suggested that it be conducted in terms that he and the current wielders of power and influence are comfortable with.

The basic point Bellisarius is that you and people like you have lost control of the issue. Racial minorities have started to realize that nothing of substance is ever achieved for them by your frankly patronizing notion of civilized debate.

Privileged America controls the purse strings, the money, the institutionalized processes of government, the law. Black people as a whole have achieved next to nothing by trying to work through these structures. The Conservatives in this thread in particular are not prepared to do anything whatsoever which might cost them anything - just pious talk of education, training and motherhood opportunity claptrap about opportunity.

I suspect that the minorities are sick to the back teeth of being last in line - they are going to start taking what they want and it will be a damn sight more than some inconsequential looting in the ghettos.

How or when it will conclude I have no idea, but it will be ugly.

I understand far more than you might think. And what I understand the most is that if that is their goal then this isn't going to end well for them.

Ish doesn’t understand the poisoning that’s been going on with this progressive socialist movement.

 

[bellisarius]

Ish doesn’t understand the poisoning that’s been going on with this progressive socialist movement.

The poisoning has been going on in the public schools and the Univ. for decades now. A poisoning that has infected the larger cities to a great extent.

When the police and the political class refuse to uphold the law, or even worse protect the felons then the "rule of law" has well and truly broken down. At that point "vigilance committees" will begin to enforce the law and that's when things are going to get really ugly.

 

[SpeareChucker]

We have woke a enclave around the university.



I think they know to keep a low profile.

Vigilance committees? Roamin' the streets? Dispensin' "Street Justice"? Shootin' people in the back and all? Say it ain't so! Murica would never stoop so low!

Shooting people in the back... wishing you could put your knee on a certain Koreans neck.

What's the difference? You wouldn't stoop so low or in this day and age throw out the term squaw so frivolously. Nah, you wouldn't do that would you?

Yea....most sane people don't get it either.

Funny enough nobody participating in them can articulate an even remotely coherent reason as to why they are destroying their own communities.

They're just moronic trash.

The basic point Bellisarius is that you and people like you have lost control of the issue. Racial minorities have started to realize that nothing of substance is ever achieved for them by your frankly patronizing notion of civilized debate.

No, people like us are the ones running those dipshits back into their inner city to destroy their own shit.

Don't act in a civilized manner? You'll be treated like savages.

Privileged America controls the purse strings, the money, the institutionalized processes of government, the law.

Yes, those privileged Americans are called congressional representatives, senators, mayors, governors and the president.

Black people as a whole have achieved next to nothing by trying to work through these structures. The Conservatives in this thread in particular are not prepared to do anything whatsoever which might cost them anything - just pious talk of education, training and motherhood opportunity claptrap about opportunity.

That's a fucking lie. Black people in the USA are rapidly improving their stations in life. More so than anywhere else on the planet.

I suspect that the minorities are sick to the back teeth of being last in line - they are going to start taking what they want and it will be a damn sight more than some inconsequential looting in the ghettos.

How or when it will conclude I have no idea, but it will be ugly.

They aren't at the back of the line, that's a leftist lie.


But if you want to buy into that lie....COME AND TAKE IT!!!!

Please be that fucking stupid.

"Instead of merely trying to escape, Mr. Brooks reached back with his arm extended and pointed an object at Officer Rolfe. Officer Rolfe heard a sound like a gunshot and saw a flash in front of him. Fearing for his safety, and the safety of the civilians around him, Officer Rolfe dropped his taser and fired his service weapon at the only portion of Mr. Brooks that presented to him – Mr. Brooks’ back. Officer Rolfe immediately stopped firing when Mr. Brooks fell to the ground since there was no longer an imminent threat towards Officer Rolfe or others. Officer Rolfe gathered himself, and then immediately called for EMS. Officer Rolfe retrieved first-aid supplies and began rendering aid to Mr. Brooks. When Mr. Brooks’ pulse stopped, Officer Rolfe immediately began CPR until EMS relieved him."

So you saw the 8 video's? Seriously asking, I myself have not, nor do I care to watch them.

Who exactly had the interview with Rolfe? I don't know of him giving any interviews.

If no one did, then what Rolfe was thinking at the time is not in evidence, the reporter just put his own thoughts of what Rolfe thought....into words, with no proof of fact....

He died of "suicide by cop." Acting violently and stupidly has consequences. fuck'em.

Hmmm you seem to have either a couple ALTs here, and forget to switch back n forth between them, and/or a reading comprehension problem ( sometimes that can happen when you play with too much gunpowder), but I asked someone else a question, and made a comment about an article, nothing to do with the actions that lead up to that point.... (I'll ignore your cavalier attitude towards a person dying as well)

 

[Lazaran]

That's a fucking lie. Black people in the USA are rapidly improving their stations in life. More so than anywhere else on the planet.

Black American households on average have one tenth the wealth of white households, and they earn on average just over fifty percent as much as white households. These numbers show little or no improvement from conditions in the 1950's.

Meanwhile black Americans rate of incarceration has spiked over the same period of time.

Yeah, black people are winning all over the place in America.

 

[FlowersForFun]

Averages and inequity have NOTHING to do with anything I said.

These numbers show little or no improvement from conditions in the 1950's.

Those Democrats they've elected the entire time have served them SO well.

Meanwhile black Americans rate of incarceration has spiked over the same period of time.

Yea....that's what happens when 77% of your population grows up as feral street urchins. Total destruction and disregard for the importance of family, more "Progress" from (D)emocrats.

Yeah, black people are winning all over the place in America.

By a fucking landslide.

We have more black millionaires and billionaires than any nation on the planet.

Black Americans are on average the wealthiest, most powerful black population on the planet.

The black American on average as a community/demographic have seen more prosperity in the last 50 years than any other black community in all of recorded human history.

If the USA is so fucking terrible and racist, please feel free to point to a better place to be a POC.

That wasn't just moving the goalpost, that was moving the placement of the ball back fifty yards.

Yes there have been select individuals in the black community who have attained wealth, but they are largely concentrated in the sports and entertainment field, and still 76% of millionaires in America are white, 8% are black. Only 1% of the billionaires in America are black.

Wealth of select individuals is also not an accurate indicator of overall success of a group which is why averages are useful. Average disparity in wealth has actually increased in favor of white people between 1992 and today.

Your suggestion that because some black people have had success in one area of society, it somehow "trumps" all other measures of quality of life, just goes to show how myopic your worldview is.

Health, education, and legal matters also need to be evaluated when measuring overall success in a specific group of people.

Now FOAD

That's what you tried to do by getting up on your soapbox about inequity again.

Yes there have been select individuals in the black community who have attained wealth, but they are largely concentrated in the sports and entertainment field, and still 76% of millionaires in America are white, 8% are black. Only 1% of the billionaires in America are black.

Which is significantly better than it used to be, and still better than anywhere else in the world.

Also proof the opportunity is there, and there isn't anything stopping black people from finding success.

Wealth of select individuals is also not an accurate indicator of overall success of a group

Never said it was.

Average disparity in wealth has actually increased in favor of white people between 1992 and today.

SO WHAT???

Your suggestion that because some black people have had success in one area of society, it somehow "trumps" all other measures of quality of life, just goes to show how myopic your worldview is.

Good thing it's not my worldview and just some bullshit you made up to deflect from the fact that the USA is one the BEST places on the planet to be a black person.

Health, education, and legal matters also need to be evaluated when measuring overall success in a specific group of people.

That's all their fucking business....their happiness to pursue.

NOT my responsibility to provide.

Now FOAD

You and your little socialist LARP'ing buddies make me.....

And what I understand the most is that if that is their goal then this isn't going to end well for them.

I agree with that point. I am convinced it will get ugly because both sides believe it will not end well for the other. Going forward the most likely scenario is that there will be a prolonged period of systematic violence to the detriment of all races. However, history provides numerous examples of no solution being possible until after such severe conflict.

The looting and rioting of the past few weeks is nothing. But if the minority political groups ever form a terrorist/military wing you could see armed class/race. conflict for a generation. The IRA is, unfortunately, an instructive model.

Fortunately, there is movement from reasonable people to rectify some of the injustices in society. Goodwill gestures, like taking down confederate statues, timely and transparent investigations into police shootings, elimination of offensive stereotypes in media culture, discussions about reallocating funds from policing into community services, etc, may well avert your grim prediction.

Of course there are some people who seem to welcome a violent settling of grievances.

They're not too hard to pick out of the crowd.

 

[WillJ8787]

Every time I open my browser I'm bombarded screeds all talking about "Racial Equality." People are marching around with it written on signs. Advertisers are telling me how they're all for it. Great, and if you took a poll today and the question was, "Do you support Racial Equality?" I'd be shocked if you didn't get at least an 85% "Yes" response.

Fine, we're most all in agreement that Racial Equality is a good thing, something worth working towards. That's the easy part. Agreeing with a generalized goal takes absolutely no effort at all on anyone's part. Mouthing the platitude gets nothing done.

So let's talk about the hard part. Exactly what laws do you believe should be enacted to achieve that goal? Be specific and be prepared to defend your suggestion.

Do away with stand your ground laws.
Do away with justified gun use due to feeling threaten that the Police overly use to kill black and brown folks.

 

[bellisarius]

What does any of that have to do with "racial equality?"

Oh, and that second sentence is BULL SHIT.

oh ishtat, ishtat.

You live in Australia, you said you lived in the UK.

Are you ever going to enlighten us about the blatant racism and xenophobia practiced in those two countries,
instead of merely pointing and laughing at the US.

Australia is far, far more racist than the US ever was.
