Not trying to start a flamebait thread. However, I for one, and pretty damn well fed up with the white racism and police brutality comments being thrown about with no discussions on what culpability the black community has in these issues. Is the black community above reproach are they not also to blame with these issues? Why is it that the issues the black community has cannot be talked about with being called a racist? Are all the black men, and women, arrested saints who didn't do nothing? Have you ever seen a black man or woman go off on a policeman with the most vile and reprehensible language you have ever heard? Could there be some historical and current underlying basis for police approaching blacks differently - don't even try the old they're all, or mostly all, racist BS? If someone has a hissy fit over my questions, I would like to say that I'm sorry but I won't because I'm not. If we are ever to get to the root causes surrounding some racial animus, uncomfortable questions are going to have to be raised.
The answer to your question is no. And this thread illustrates why "white racism" comments are being thrown around. The "black community" (whatever that is) is no more culpable for the actions of thiefs than the "white community" (whatever that is) is responsible for racists and white supremacists referring to "the black community" as if they were a single block of people
Because people are seeing what is playing out across the country and asking questions about the efficacy of continuing to placate without question?
This isn't about racism, this is about a Communist uprising in the United States. Note how people are still "protesting" even as all of the officers are now formally charged with a crime in connection to George Floyd's death. The Communist insurrection seeks to displace the United States, and should it succeed we will no longer be a superpower.
Thanks for the response but this is about culpability and why one side always seems to get a pass when assigning racial related blame. Please don't give those on this forum who love to deflect, shuck and jive, questions an avenue.
The far left is like a termite colony, destroying the U.S. from within. They’ve been working on this for 50+ years and it’s starting to bear fruit.
From the Weather Underground to the NDS(Yes, I did my research into the 70's), the so-called moderates of today were the crazies of yesterday, to the tune of thousands of bombs. Now unfortunately it's my generation's turn to A: Experience the madness and sadly B: Some have participated in the madness(more like a lot.)
In all the TV coverage I have watched during this entire demonstration cycle the vast majority of those protesting and looting are white both male and female. Many of those looting were white females and I think can be readily ID'd from the videos which the police and FBI are now gathering together to pursue all those who can be ID'd and prosecuted.
Perspective. When you have none: zip, zero, nada. It’s best to be quite and listen. Why are so many defensive? I’m asking that question as a Caucasian male.
Its not directly racism or even classism. Its culture clash. Black culture has been under attack since Jim Crow by eugenecists in govt, international corporations and 'intelligence' services. Gansta rap + financial dependency + targetted narcotics trafficking + dissolving of the nuclear family = thug culture. It was designed and injected into black communities by the social engineers. And no, Im not saying all, only or even most blacks have adopted this culture. There's countless examples on social media of decent black folks calling out their own and thugs of other ethnicities including a lot of whites for undermining their legitimate protests with rioting and looting. They know whats up and they're message isn't getting out because the racism and the beatings and the fires are more interesting to joe blow couch potato than the CIA dumping crack and welfare into black communities for 70 years to utterly ruin them. Certainly there were racists pushing some of this agenda against blacks, but they're just useful idiots, much like the young white elitists-in-masks instigating the looting now. Ultimately the goal is to get all of us into it to justify putting us all into a giant prison-esque control grid so we can all be forced to behave and forced to serve a few elite *******'s 'Greater Good.'
Two events could have prevented all this. The first is that George Floyd should not have tried to pass a fake $20 bill. The second chance he had was not to resist arrest. The first caused the police to be called. The second caused him to be taken down. Did the cop decide that he was going to kill Floyd? I don't believe so. I believe it was accidental manslaughter. When Floyd claimed he couldn't breathe the cop should have removed his knee. But now we got 4 cops charged due to the original actions of Floyd. Plus now we got the MSM and protesters claiming cops are intentionally killing blacks. The actual numbers do not support such rhetoric but the MSM will not report the numbers. Look at the hatred against cops. The job they are charged with doing, keeping order in our society, results in a hatred for them. Now some are calling for doing away with all cops. Where else do people have to put on a bullet-proof vest before reporting to work? I like cops, they have always treated me with respect and no I'm not in law enforcement nor do I have any relatives in law enforcement. Personally I would not take the job because I don't want the hassles and stress. Thank goodness there are some who will take the job.
I’ve never wanted to be a cop, but parts of me wishes I were one now. How cool it would be to take out some rioter’s knee caps with a baton or fire a rubber bullet in the chest of a punk in a black mask. I would have the star spangled banner on repeat with headphones on. I’m fantasizing sorry!
They claim that every one of them is responsible for what one of them does? Oh most definitely provide a quote!
Moi I never said that they claim responsibility for what everyone of them does, you did. But they are a block, or a collective group. They have nurtured that narrative for decades with the help of the left. 99% of blacks voted for Barack Obama. Most because he was black. That is a block. It’s why they call it block voting.
So what do you think "a collective group" means? They have collectively, as a block, ... and however you want to put it, suffered the effects of racism. And they file their complains as a group. But from that to claim that they are collectively responsible because somebody saw a black guy on TV robbing some jewelry at the same time the protests were happening is pure... Uhmm let's put it this way: it qualifies for the most absurd post of the week. And is definitely in contention for the monthly prize.
What we are stuck with at this point is a chicken and egg situation. Is the police brutality feeding the POC "rebellion" where they are seeing all LEO as inherently evil? Or is it the POC community stoking the fire with their "If you are doing good in school, you ain't black (or other ethnicity) enough" and disdain for laws crap? It is certainly not helping when we have the broad brushing of both groups that seem to occur regularly, especially when this stuff arises again. We also have the media penchant for only giving us the worse of news, making it hard to tell if this is blown out of proportion or not. Now don't get me wrong. Any inequality is wrong. By blown out of proportion, I mean are we, as a whole, actually decreasing the rate of such incidents, and offenders, but in our effort to bring to light the offenders and incidents, making it seem as if we are sliding backwards? I am not going to claim that we are not sliding backwards either. I don't have access to the numbers and I take those given, from both sides, with a grain of salt.
So you have no problem with thousands of these nihilists attacking society for the actions of one man in the form of vandalism, murder and lawlessness? Don’t accuse society of the sin of collectivism and claim individualism when it conveniences you. A bit of a double standard.
