For sure. Truths are often uncomfortable but must be addressed should we ever truly want to move forward together. Of course it seems like many liberals and every leftist is only “happy” when they’re angry or miserable. Around we go.
Sadly there are a ton of black Americans that don’t buy into the narratives whose voices go unheard.
Can’t stand the Hodge Twins… Cliff notes ??
BLM is bullshit. Cops are not hunting down blacks. Work hard, don’t feel like a victim, and you can succeed. And, if you’re white and carrying a BLM sign, you must be smoking crack cocaine.
Also, they don’t anything about Africa, they aren’t from Africa; they are Americans.
Truth right there.
Thank you. Agreed.
I believe, ultimately, it’s up to each individual to decide whether they’re “oppressed” or a victim of their own poor decisions. One’s attitude is everything. Believe you’re a victim and you’ll act accordingly. Accept that life isn’t obligated to be “fair” to any of us, try your best, make good decisions and enjoy success and good fortune.
Fact is the vast majority of us have good hearts and good intentions. We’d all do our best to help each other succeed. No matter our race or ethnicity.
What do you mean, “Remember”? That’s still being chanted at George Floyd protests.
Yes. Attacking those attempting to take hostages.
“An expert explains…”
An expert in vehicle-ramming?
“Weil is the deputy research director for the militant propaganda analysis team at the University of Chicago’s Project on Security and Threats.”
It would likely be easier to list the things in which a man with those credentials is not an expert. Nothing.
Yea… Serious disconnect from reality and the refusal to accept uncomfortable truths. This could be a completely lost cause.
It was also chanted in London a couple of days ago, by among others an A-list Hollywood actor, towards historically unarmed UK police officers whose biggest recent scandal was a failure to break up a grooming gang because the perps were non-white and the higher ups were afraid the police might be accused of racism.
Please don’t remind me. I’ll start ranting and I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop.
Suffice it to say, I have some rather terse words for the London luvvies out in mass crowds attacking the Met.
Not entirely true, many (if not most) black people in the UK are either from former British colonies in the Caribbean themselves, or their parents or grandparents are. Also there is the Windrush scandal, thousands of people came from the Caribbean as British citizens by birth and then decades later the government retroactively refused to recognize their citizenship. People who came as children and never went back to their place of birth were deported in many cases, or threatened with deportation and refused medical care. If you deported my grandma to a place where she didn’t know anyone and hadn’t been to in 50+ plus years I would be mad too.
Again, I’m not trying to justify any crazy behavior, just showing you why some people might be upset.
I recall when there was weeks of rioting in Paris with an extremely stiff security reaction and we didn’t see the mob of orcs we currently see jamming up parliament square.
There was also some pretty severe police action in Catalan.
Funny how ‘solidarity’ in London seems to only be operative when there’s a chance to have a go at American cops.
They can enjoy their extended lockdown, I suppose. I’m in Dublin, the only time this city riots is when a team other than Dublin wins the GAA final.
So woke…
Desecrating war memorials will certainly incline the British populace to action. I don’t think they’ve quite gathered which action it will incline them to though.
Northern Ireland tried this for a while. The results speak for themselves.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to have these “armed peace officers” fighting crime in their own communities?
