Worked with a black family off and on for the last three hours. Happens quite often in my job. Probably a bit more effective than being on the other side of the world telling Americans they should move back to Africa.
I donât think I ever said white people donât take the law into their own hands. On an individual level some do. As a group they just donât tend to do it without trying to exhausting other more reasonable options.
If you have been paying any attention to whatâs going on in the rest of the world(we already know you donât think anything outside of America has any relevance to you), most of the European countries are as equally multicultural as the USA. They have race trouble, despite not having the same type of history of black slavery like the USA does.
Wrong again. I never told black Americans to move back to Africa. I said why donât they. Because they know that despite the issues in America, its still a much better, fairer, and safer place to live than anywhere in Africa.
Good to know that you are trying to help people of any sort with your job though.
This is simply isnât true. I think things outside America have plenty of relevance. They just donât have relevance in this thread. The courts in China or the Middle East simply arenât necessary to talk about in a 2020 thread about George Floyd. Doesnât mean I think the rest of the world isnât important or that I donât care. But in a US topic about an issue that happened in the US itâs pretty well expected that the conversation would be centered around it right?
Well weâve come full circle then. You acknowledge that America has issues. So do I. So instead of everyone here sitting on their easy chair and smiling and saying damn itâs so much better here than elsewhere we should work on fixing them. Because you donât fix anything if you donât acknowledge itâs a problem. And if you acknowledge somethingâs a problem but would like to stop and think about how big the problem is elsewhere you donât fix anything either.
This is a bodybuilding and strength website. The articles are almost solely focused on being better than you were. They arenât really focused on being satisfied with the status quo. I feel the same way with our country. Doesnât seem anti-American to me. Actually the opposite seems anti-American.
Thatâs the first time you acknowledge what happens outside of America has relevance. Then you straight away refuse to see any relevance when it doesnât suit you.
Also youâve harped on about the courts in other countries many more times
than I mentioned it. Its still relevant cause I bet you wouldnât move there either. Thatâs why so many people from those countries want to move to western countries like America.
I agree about acknowledging problems before you can solve them, I just think the problems a lot wider and more complicated than you seem to acknowledge at the moment.
Once again Iâm not saying donât try and fix something you see as an issue. Thatâs your right to try, it doesnât guarantee success, no matter how noble you believe your actions are.
Iâm saying put things into perspective, and that you arenât going to solve anything by rioting or looting. All those things do is confirm potential stereotypes, and they will quickly lose any support they might have had in the beginning. There are plenty of black people around, trying to calm the situation down, and are disavowing the rioting and looting. Unfortunately there apparently still are plenty of black people around that think they have the right to loot from stores(that are sometimes owned by other blacks), because white man bad.
I donât condone people making monkey noises as racial insults, its poor form no matter who does it. Apparently it also happens to cricketers of African heritage on tour playing matches in India, by Indians. Doesnât excuse raping anyone though. Are you saying these white women provoked their rapes because the black men were racially insulted?
No Iâve already said America isnât the center of the world and Iâve already said I donât know where you got the idea that I donât care about any place else. Itâs just up the thread. Are you having memory loss? Iâve said nothing in this thread that would make you jump to the conclusion. The only thing Iâve said is that if the thread is about a racial incident in Minnesota letâs talk about that. Everything else is just a distraction.
Not 100% sure you know what relevant means at this point. So the OP said letâs talk about George Floyd in Minnesota. Did he also say letâs list the places most people wouldnât want to go. Is something automatically relevant if it has to do with moving? I think youâre just really stuck on this moving thing being important. Letâs just agree that people can not move to a place and still face injustice? Does that work?
Of course not. But positive change in America has came from people trying. Not from people resting on their laurels. Not from feeling satisfied about being better than other places.
I donât know about that, this isnât like some other riots or BLM protests where itâs all black people. There are plenty of white people and other races too, in some pictures and videos it looks to be mostly non-black people. Did you forget about the white nerd stealing Lego?
