The second it turned violent I was out. Killing kids in protest of police brutality is too much for me. Walking down American streets with guns telling evil whitey you want reparations, while having a police escort is blatant hypocrisy. I just keep telling myself it’s an election year and it will all be over soon. I’m not a political person but it’s obvious the leftist are very desperate. The democratic party, the true party of racism has cast a pretty powerful spell on many American blacks. Hell, even young whites suffer from some sort of racial guilt these days, and willingly fall in line with the democratic party. I listed to an interview with Larry Elder the other day. He seems like a rational man of high intelligence trying to red pill his people. I really wish more young American blacks would listen to a guy like that. My father-in-law use to say. If you’re not a liberal when young, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative when older, you have no brain.
The problem is twofold–first the people who actually believe it getting headlines and traction. Second are the people who don’t know what it means but will repeat it ad nauseum until the start to believe it…any message repeated frequently enough, for long enough, becomes true to the person saying it.
Well this is a very sane statement and in no way reminiscent of the obligatory self flagellation in communism called constructive self critique.
Both parties are desperate. If the GOP wasn’t, then why all that effort on gerrymandering, voter restriction, rushing to get judges appointed, etc…
Historically you are right, but what the parties have been doing in the last couple decades matters more IMO. We can argue about which side’s policy has helped the black community more in the last 20 years, but I just don’t see the democrats being the “true party of racism” in this era.
She sounds like some sexually frustrated Mother Superior.
Summa cum laude, Harvard.
Juilliard.
The Crimson was online, in her dressing room, between Acts.
I had to google who she is as I never saw Hamilton because I hate musicals.
I think universities, especially prestigious ones, should take into account emotional intelligence for admissions or at least try and cultivate it because some of the things these grads say are embarrassing. My grandfather went to Harvard and I know he would think they are all simpletons.
To be fair, during your grandfather’s era Harvard was waaaaaay different. So yeah he’d be right in a way (STEM technicalities aside). Grade inflation and a whole other bunch of nonsense since then. They still turn out a lot of extremely sharp people
Thank God I identify as black. And no one can tell me I’m not even if all my ancestry is European. Or they’re racist.
Stanford is better. Its for people that could got into the Ivy’s, but you also have to be world class in something as well to get in. Its won the Directors Cup for most successful athletic dept in the nation for like 30 straight years, and that is with an undergrad population of only 7,000.
Also, no unibombers came out of Stanford. So they got that going for them. Which is nice.
“They say ‘black lives matter,'” her father, hoarse with pain, accused the movement just hours later. “You killed your own. You killed your own this time.”
“You killed a child. She didn’t do nothing to nobody.”
“My baby,” her mother sobbed as family comforted her and helped her walk from the stage.
“At the point that an eight-year-old baby is killed, the discussions have ended,” the mayor announced. Just hours later, another person was killed and two more wounded nearby.
But some aren’t getting the message. “If you want an all-black lives matter movement started … then start that movement,” CNN’s Don Lemon told black actor Terry Crews Monday. “But that’s not what Black Lives Matter is about.”
Lemon was wrong on most things during that segment, but on that one point, he was right. Let’s see how long it takes us to remember.
And what a hypocrite Don Lemon is, talking over Terry Crews about some of the bigger issues in the black community. He seems to have understood just 7 years ago.
Its a tough situation. The VERY large majority of people that support the blm movement are doing so for good reasons, and in a laudable manner. Unfortunately, the BLM organization itself has issues, and the movement is being used as cover for folks just looking to act out.
Right now its all being done under the same “brand” umbrella, and people are very loyal to the brand and won’t be switching anytime soon i dont think. I’m not sure what can realistically be done.
He’s also a liar or ignorant, either one is not good for a journalist, because he said BLM started because of police brutality when in fact, it started with the death of Trayvon Martin who was not killed by a cop (or, some would argue, a white man). Then, the death of Michael Brown added more impetus to the movement with it’s proven false narrative of hands up, don’t shoot.
Does this even make sense?
Cripes, why isn’t this shut down yet?
Why not race-fluid? They made gender-fluid a thing, might as well extend it to other things too.
Most communist/Marxist movements are like that, championing the rights of peasants and fighting the bourgeoisie until they get enough power and it becomes totalitarianism. Don’t let them appeal to your emotions, just because they fight against something bad doesn’t mean they are good.
Damn straight. Those cardinals know how to do it.
ROFL. I’m going to use this
It already is. It has been for thousands of years.
