An Interesting Take on BLM

[FireIceTalon]

That was surprisingly one of the most racist articles I've ever read. Do you honestly believe President Barack Obama was secretly a racist? Perhaps calling criminals thugs is because they were committing thuggery?!

YOU STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT RACISM IS. STILL. Which is funny considering you are one of the biggest perpetrators of it I've ever seen. You should thank your lucky stars that the board is moderated by liberals who are sympathetic to your deplorable views. Cause if it were up to me, you'd have been ousted long ago.

There wasn't an ounce of racism in that article, and most of it, was by and large very historically accurate. Obama is not secretly racist, that comment he made was actually very blatantly racist because the term thug is almost always used to describe people of color, and rarely or never whites in the criminal system. Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden are also openly racist liberals.

Firstly, this is a mixed America, so that lingo about a White America has to go

Enough with the multi-cultural, red herring idealism already, it's making me sick to my stomach. This was also a "mixed America" pre-1865, when blacks were slaves and Native Americans were slaughtered en masse, so your point means absolutely nothing. Mixed has nothing to do with equality, fairness or justice.

And in fact, America being a mixed country actually makes it MUCH easier to oppress POC - just segregate them into separate communities that have living conditions barely a step above those of a 3rd world country, keep their access to jobs, health care and higher education lower while at the same time keeping their access to prison higher by spending more on law enforcement assigned to their communities, import drugs into the communities to raise up the crime rates and wage a racist euphemistic war called the "war on drugs" to feed the for-profit prison system, and then, finally, develop a criminal justice system and slap on a tagline like "everyone is equal before the law" with a big fat smile on your face and everyone will buy it and drink it up like kool-aid. Just as you do here, constantly.

but second, anyone committing criminal acts could be consider a thug

So by your standard then, all capitalists and their state henchman (most of whom are white, btw) who commit crimes against humanity every day, and who wage wars for profit over seas every day, should be considered thugs, yes? Oh, wait, that's just business, right? Fuck outta here.

and since you've shown over and over again with statistics, kandrathe, how blacks are committing more crimes per their white counterparts, then it makes sense they will be getting called thugs more often.

No, what he was showing was that black communities are policed more than white communities, not that blacks commit more crimes. The term thug, coming from white people, is a new code word for the "n-word" to specifically describe black people in the criminal justice system - as stated in the article.

This is hardly a case for demonization, and more a case of calling the kettle black (no pun intended whatsoever). This entire article tries desperately to point a finger at anything inflammatory to make it's point, going back in time to the era of slavery, to a time after when blacks in cartoons were made fun of, to showcasing contemporary instances in which blacks were victimized in America, and tries to tie it all together to current politicians and a pervading mentality against blacks in America...

The article correctly points out the historical roots of racism in America, how its dynamics have changed (but not gone away) from slavery, to Jim Crow, to the current system of mass incarceration and how it has developed as America industrialized.

Again, put down the kool-aid and go take some sociology classes at your local college. Though I doubt it will help, since most white supremacists are set in their ways or too stupid to understand the dynamics of race and class relations.

because I'm on fire, lol!

Indeed, your streak of being a blatant racist in your last two posts is pretty unprecedented on these forums. You make Ashock look like MLK by comparison. What is worse, is that you are actually proud of it. FOAD.
