🌎 Discussion: Civil Rights, Affirmative Action, Critical Race Theory, Systemic Inequality, and Racism - Part 4

[ironman29758]

We're having this discussion again because uninformed people remain willfully uninformed while at the same time accusing the people who disprove their lies as racist even when their argument falls flat.

You can’t be seriously defending George Zimmerman’s actions in this thread during this moment?

Most of these MLK would not approve folks would of hated him if he was alive when they were.

MLK wanted to change the system which generally terrifies establishment types. They would be calling MLK a troublemaker and instigator.

Even now we have peaceful BLM organizers who get talked about like a domestic Al Qaeda in certain circles.

Right wing types have been pushing the false narrative that Antifa is some major threat for years now while downplaying the resurgence of white nationalists.

People love emphasizing the “I have a dream” speech but ignored things like his birmingham jail letter or videos like this:

I’m definitely in support of non-violent protests but this couldn’t have come at a worst time (not that there ever is the right time besides right now)

But Covid-19 is still out there. It doesn’t care if you’re black or white, rich or poor, cop or not. So a second wave was already inevitable but now it’s going to be completely devastating. And we know that it impacts disproportionately communities of color.

Is America great again yet?

I mean that’s basically what Make America Great Again means to them: get rid of the minorities or least get back to the point where they can just ignore them again

You know the Floyd's death is bad when even Fox News didn't try to defend the cops.

It’s funny, I just started watching the x-men animated series again and all these years later we’re still talking about the same stuff. Literally the first episode involves beast being wrongfully incarcerated. I guess amongst other things it shows how we still need good art to talk about the stuff we don’t want to talk about.

Some law enforcement officers just know how to do things right.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

That's the way to de-escalate tension.

This is how most protesting on this issue should have been carried out with support from the great cops that outweigh the piss poor ones. Hand in hand peacefully displaying there distain for the same scum. Shame the media wont share this positivity in there coverage.

You do realize the source of the first video is a news entity, right?

Im more stunned CNN covered it then anything honestly.

these stories should be on all broadcast on all stations to counter the anarchy that is constantly shown.

 

[Sithborg]

There is a lot of **** going down. Hell, CNN isn't even jumping on news media people being targeted by the police. And sadly, those good incidents are outweighed by the majority of other police departments starting **** against peaceful protests.

 

[terry78]

I never believed in that whole armageddon thing, but this **** with the pandemic still going....dude.

 

[Schlosser85]

Hey, thousands of people assembling in the streets six feet deep day after day in cities all over the country, shouting and expelling even more air droplets all around them in the middle of a highly contagious global pandemic.....I’m sure it’ll be fine.

 

[Prettyricky]

But one person test positive in the ozarks at a pool party and the media goes ballistic meanwhile....

Just saw the video. Goddamn sadist murderer. Dunno what the law will decide, but it looks like premeditated.

He's already been charged. No premeditation on the table.

I see. Maybe they aren't sure they can prove it...

Pretty much how I heard it explained. From both the state AG and experts on television.

What I'm seeing is Derek used his knowledge of the law to make it appear as an accident at worst. Health-related, my ass.

They make a lot more money off of racist and misogynist video content.
