    you are whatever without a 3rd grade reading comprehension level...acknowledging that racism exists in this world is not white guilt..hard concept for you I am sure...everyone is out to get you!!!

     

    Must suck always knowing you are the dumbest guy in the 

    Is that all you got? Admit your white guilt and bow down at the BLM alter. You're 57 and your balls haven't dropped yet. Sucks to be you.

    couple of things here..hit ignore on this particular poster you are replying to..no meaningful conversation will be had. So don't let him get you fired up.

     

    To your original posit..i did not  like the poll options. I will watch the documentary, as i watch a ton of documentaries, and form an opinion when I am finished watching it.Certainly not scared of anything, would think i will leran some new things as i am always learning, and may call BS on stuff in their if i see it slanted or not factual.

    two fantastic docs if you have not seen before

     

    https://www.amazon.com/Freedom-Summer-Stanley-Nelson/dp/B00L9WXZ5A

     

    And this is one of the most powerful documentaries I have ever seen. Not free anymore, but buy it...the courageousness of the folks who participated in the Freedom Rides is just extraordinary to me.

     

    https://www.pbs.org/video/american-experience-freedom-riders/ 

     

     

     

    as a 57 year old white man, the most shocking thing i have heard over and over again is " i had no idea this kind of thing went on"...by so many so much younger than me..I mean, where ya been?  Having said that, i am not afraid to call bs, bs. And it can rain BS from both extreme sides..there is a space for debate and nuanced arguments , as well as solutions....s

     

    And the race thing is played by both parties. DEmocrats just more open about what they think of black voters. And if you are new here, i am a staunch anti Trumper and will be voting fro Biden( most likely), but think the one area where Republicans have a stronger case for my vote is how they approach issues that affect minorities. Democrats assume only they can help minorities, as the minorities themselves cannot possibly help themselves. I mean if i was a black voter and heard " you aint black if you not voting for me" that would make my blood boil. Did that not bother you?

     

     

    Don't like my posts, don't read them. You can keep your white guilt, I'm not buying into that garbage. 

     

    No need to respond, ever. Have a nice day.

    Ahh yes the reverse racism card. I can lay out all the facts and evidence of an actual real racist system at play and will be accused of being a racist myself for doing so OR for calling a spade a spade.

     

    For you to feel the need to respond to this thread that's discussing very real, very evil, very sensitive subject matter and say "Oh the guilt!!! Not!" is clearly some racist pos type of stuff. Not calling YOU that but that action definitely was. I hope you are just an ignorant little kid being immature.

    Lol, you're nothing but a race baiter. You blame your shiity life on the evil white people. Take responsibility for your crappy existence for once. No need to respond, have a nice life.

    So a video of the campaign strategist of an eventual president expressing tactics of how law can be used to hurt black people mean nothing to you. That is a clear indication of willful ignorance. You can hear or see factual evidence but will willingly play dumb like your brain cant process what you actually just saw or heard. Dismiss it as nothing.

     

    You see a video of a young black boy feeling the need to have to hide his very existence as police ride by.......and you blow it off as no big deal, or some sort of delusion that we have created on our own due from years of justifiable police actions.

     

    So at least 1 of 3 things apply to you:

     

    1. You are ignorant of the facts, refuse to learn and enjoy shutting down the idea that the facts exist to make you feel better about yourself

    2. You know the facts but feel like "they aren't that bad" which shows the type of person you are

     

    Someone like you would never sit through an American history documentary such as 13th. You cannot handle the truth. The lie works better for you so you choose the blue pill.

     

     

    Yes most racists feel no guilt about their feelings. That is an important ingredient to allow them to sleep at night after treating another race of human beings like animals all day.

    Most racists likes to use a broad brush when making racist comments.

    Man shot at Albuquerque protest, police detain armed militia members

    June 16, 2020 at 5:42 a.m. EDT

    Protesters in Albuquerque wrapped a chain around the neck of a bronze statue and began tugging, chanting “Tear it down,” shortly before sunset on Monday. Their efforts to pull down a monument of Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate suddenly stopped as four shots rang out.

     

    Most people instinctively turned toward the noise, videos from the scene show. A few screamed. Just yards away, a group of militia men sporting militarylike garb and carrying semiautomatic rifles formed a protective circle around the gunman.

    The gunshots, which left one man in critical but stable condition, have set off a cascade of public outcry denouncing the unregulated militia’s presence and the shooting, although police have yet to announce an arrest or describe exactly what happened. The victim is also unidentified.

     

    “The heavily armed individuals who flaunted themselves at the protest, calling themselves a ‘civil guard,’ were there for one reason: To menace protesters, to present an unsanctioned show of unregulated force,” New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) said in a statement. “To menace the people of New Mexico with weaponry — with an implicit threat of violence — is on its face unacceptable; that violence did indeed occur is unspeakable.”

    Why do you feel the need to lie? Once a liar, always a liar.

    I'll be blunt but kind.

     

    You are underestimating racism. Right? Don't you think? Like, which is more likely — that racism is exaggerated, OR, maybe possibly we have all been masssssssssively underestimating racism, because, if we're white, we don't have to think of race? If we're white, we don't really think of ourselves as white. We're whatever else, our ethnicity, we're our interests, we're this or that. We don't think there's a real "white identity" and the only "white culture" seems to be the crazy hillbillies. If we're white, we don't HAVE to think about race. It is an optional, theoretical debate. 

     

    It really is, like... Step 1 is admitting there is a problem. There's a lot of reasons, if you stop to ponder and read and look into it, a lot of reasons why we would not want to admit there is a problem. A whole hornets nest of reasons why we are better off to maintain our comfort and maintain the illusions provided the consequences do not impact us personally. 

     

    I want to educate you on why "peaceful protests" is a form of racism but I know I would for sure lose you if I haven't already. But, I will say. Have you ever heard of / read the book "Revolt of the Black Athlete"? Harry Edwards, from the 70s.  

    I can't imagine what kind of life you have when all you see is racism. That's very sad.

    That might be true.  But then he added water by bringing his merry band of sycophants to town.  Draining the swamp was another alt-promise.  Instead he just made a bad situation worse. 

    What has the left done to improve it? Do you believe AOC and her ilk Is the answer?

    Do you think police shootings would decrease if Hillary or Biden were the president?

     

    You rail on Trump for four years, I want to know what the left could have done better? 

    Was having the lowest black unemployment rate, a skyrocketing economy , no, it's not because of Obama, you admit he was a crappy president. 

     

    Was that not enough for you? Other than throwing a temper tantrum because Hillary lost, what could anyone done better in regards to the country the last four years? How would your performance be when being attacked on a daily basis by people who hate you? 

    When the history books are written, the left will not be looked upon well. If we have a country left if God forbid Biden some how manages to win.

    Okay. So, do black lives matter? Or because black people kill black people, their lives don't matter? Unclear what your point is here.

     

    I'm not sure you'd recognize a dangerous path if it were boiling the skin off of your feet, but I appreciate the concern. Do black lives matter less than white lives? 

     

    Another way to think of it. Everyone is saying this is so obvious. In what ways is it clear that black lives matter in America? 

     

    Longer! Jim has been running from himself his entire life. He's afraid of asking questions he doesn't want to know the answer to. 

    I answered the question. All lives matter equally. 

    Whit lives don't matter anymore than any other race. I judge a person on their character, not the color of their skin. Can you say the same?

    When unarmed black people is an ongoing trend for generations, and there is repeatedly no justice and no concern unless there are protests and riots to insist on it, then that would imply that black lives don't matter. Because it seems like the country doesn't care, unless forced to confront it. So it's not something that is being very clearly communicated, if it is indeed one of our American cultural values that people who are alive have value.

    You have a far greater chance to be killed by another black person if you are black. Saying police on black crime is a ongoing trend when black on black crime is out of control. Is a bit disingenuous at best.

    Any person unnecessarily killed by police is tragic. Tragedy doesn't have a color. Your fixation on making this about the pigment of a person's skin is very telling about your frame of mind. 

    I suggest you stop playing the victim and realize the only one holding you back is you. 

    Get your mind right. You're heading down a dangerous path.

    It highlights how racist the morons here are.

     

    Everyone shy's away from this gimme question but is eager to talk about things like Biden's inappropriateness, the #FakeVirus, how much of a troll any liberal is, etc. RIght wing posters have posted more Pepe the Frog memes than have said black lives matter.

    Do white lives matter?

    A Day in the Life of Joe Republican

    Joe gets up at 6:00 am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good, clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and efficacy. All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance. Now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. Joe takes his morning shower, reaching for his shampoo; his bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know the amount and identity of the substances he was putting on his body.

    Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor to society. Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer upholds these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed hell get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some Liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

    It's noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.

    Joe is home from work, and he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to his dad's; his car is among the safest in the world be cause some wacko liberal (Ralph Nader!) fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmer's Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.

    After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home. He turns on a radio talk show. The host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefi that Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees. "We don't need those big government liberals ruining our lives", he says. "After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have".

     

    Does it hurt being so stupid?
