I don’t care what you do or don’t like. You won’t stop it just like your ancestors didn’t stop the Civil Rights Marches when they were whining about that. So no, I’m not “trying” to do anything. I’m making a direct comparison in the dismissive nature shown throughout history when Black people air out their grievances. It’s about race, and it’s always been about race, considering the protests were sparked by Black men being killed by the police and a call for reform in the justice system. You should be thankful for a Kap, Cam Jordan, and Malcolm Jenkins. At least they’re still interested in talking it out. I suggest you find common ground and figure it out with people willing to rationalize with you. I’m not one of those people. I don’t agree with the protests, because I don’t believe in asking your oppressor to stop oppressing you. I just find most y’alls reasons for being against them disingenuous, and I speak to that. Y’all can debate amongst yourselves about “who the real oppressor is”, but you’ll only be convincing yourselves. “If you beg a man for victory and he gives it to you it’s his, not yours.” - Stokely Carmichael |

I’m not banging the drum for Rahm Emanuel either. Again, the bipartisan debate isn’t something I partake in. I want Farrakhan to run Chicago.![]()
I mean, I guess it’s fine to equate civilian on civilian homicide to public servant on civilian homicide in some circles. Like I said, just be happy they’re protesting about it. It definitely wouldn’t be my approach. |

Part of your problem is you want to punish people now for sins for which they had no part. Sarcasm duly noted. When you can make a point that doesnt reference the color of a mans skin we can get somewhere. Until then you keep on believing what you believe. People (black and white) died for that right...or maybe only just for us white folk? |

Y’all continue to reference The Abrahamic version of God, and that’s cool. That God has taken real good care of your people for a few centuries, but he sits back why mine pray to him everyday and continue to suffer. Y’all can have that God. It amuses me. You’re convinced a man is sitting in the clouds counting your good and bad deeds like Santa Claus but you look at us with skepticism and scoff at an entire diaspora that tells you they’re going through something serious in a country that’s ENTIRE history along with current socioeconomic studies back up such claims. Yet...you approach me knowing all this because we’ve talked about it before, and you want me to grab your hand and take a leap of good faith. Based on what? Because you say you’re colorblind and judge people on the content of their character? That MLK ****? Lol. Don’t talk about race when the foundation of the protests are race? Stop it. You don’t give a **** about Black people. You just don’t want White people to be the blame...because you’re colorblind until the word White gets thrown out there. Then you finally remember, oh yeah, that’s me. Let ME defend ME. |

The foundations of the protest are a QB who was benched, found a racist radio host and got hooked on her and let her destroy his career. The difference between you and me is that I give a **** about ALL people, and just as I told you before, people have to learn to respect one another. You can never do that in parallel to blaming the white man. I am open enough with you to acknowledge racism and to respect your views, up to a point to be sure, on the matter. What, if anything, do you know about white slaves? Narry as much as the black ones I bet. All that 60 garbage you quote was mostly just that. But you only know parts of that history - the parts that line up with what you want to believe. Rock on. The biggest racist on this forum, right now, is you. That doesn't change a single thing about my opinion or anything I told you in private. The land grab still isn't going to happen here. Keep on dreamin'. |
