It is not an either or, 100% vs. 0%, thing. Progress has been made, more work needs to be done. Here’s one example of how I know we have a ways to go, at least in my community: After the George Floyd murder (which it was since he was convicted for such), we had the protests and such (and as you know, I did not approve of violence). And a local leader in my town in his weekly newsletter wrote that protestors (not just those who were violent) were maggots and parasites. Maggots and parasites. He called human beings among us maggots and parasites. And that MLK would not have walked in protest of the recent incidents against blacks. Now, you know who this local leader was? A priest. That’s right, a priest in one of the local Catholic Churches. And do I really have to tell you how many people came out in support of this guy? And that instead of him being drummed out of the priesthood he was just transferred to another parish after his perfunctory apology? You can’t fix problems unless you are willing to recognize there is a problem. Could it be he was using language more specifically than you think he was? Look up the definition of maggot and parasite. Now, I have no idea whether the literal definition is what he meant or not, but I’m suggesting you look it up before immediately assuming it had a racial meaning. And while I’m not Catholic, I think you’ll find that the Catholic Church is far from racist. I’m guessing that whites are a small minority of the world’s Catholic population. Priests may have been accused of a lot of things but singling out one guy for an editorial in the midst of a race riot is not a sign of anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if previous protests are any indicator it’s likely a safe bet that a good majority of those protesters are not POC’s. Hence why he may have called them maggots and parasites. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look in your own and ask when your common decency was sucked out of your soul.

My daughter is married to an Asian...but you don’t see me on here calling everyone out. Get over yourself!! My grandkids are half Asian and I’ll be damned if these power hungry race baiters are going to teach those kids to hate their mother or her ancestors...who all lived in ITALY, but must be racist by default because some woke morons think her skin is too light even though her entire family tree fled their homeland to escape the tyranny of fascists.

As the media are leftist they just parrot everything back-and-forth. I'm still waiting for them to produce a list of 100's of conspirators that are in jail for Russian collusion. DHS can issue warnings about UFO's planning to disrupt your picnic if they'd like. How nice to have a job that allows you to act without facts or real information. But here it is. Does anyone believe this crap anymore? I think not. "White Supremacist" is leftist code for any group that opposes their political agenda and which they believe poses a threat to the government's ability to impose more limitations on individual freedom. These conservative groups are not a direct threat to African-Americans as a group. They are not mutually exclusive in terms of membership. Conservative, Libertarian, or "right" groups have membership from all races. There are conservatives and patriots of all races, not just whites. Leftists are only concerned with criminalizing political opposition to their polices. They are not concerned with law-and-order or crime against people or property. In fact they have no concern for the well-being of African-Americans either. Or any other particular race. Or you or your property. They are simply exploiting the suffering or conditions others people face as a vehicle and front to execute their agenda. Which is to eliminate political opposition to their power grabs. If they had any genuine interest in the plight of African-Americans then after 60 years of programs and policies they enacted we wouldn't be having the same conversations we did in the mid 1960's. Leftists love symbols and pictures as it dumbs-down their positions to a level their simpleton members can understand. That's why they always post pictures or tweets from some propaganda source to your posts rather than form some cohesive argument. They can't write more than two sentences because their positions are generally illogical and the more you write the more you have to think. And thinking for yourself is discouraged in leftist circles. Copy/paste works best for them. Edited June 1, 2021 by All_Pro_Bills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
