@ Irreligious Atheist
Quote:Of course it's understandable for a black person to be hesitant about accepting individual white people as good people when first meeting them let's say, because plenty of white people do blame blacks for the situation they are in, or do distrust them right back based on being black, or deny privilege, and a whole other load of things.
While I don’t necessarily disagree with that on general terms, it’s more understandable for black people to distrust white people than the other way round.
The people with less economic and political power than you are never the ones responsible for your bad situation. Kicking down might well be the purest form of bigotry imaginable.

Contextualizing cultural bigotry for biological bigotry in order to excuse or even affirm social bigotry is all of the bigotries. I think that some people fail to realize this because the rats nest of stupid shit they maintain as fact is too complicated for them to unravel even though they built it.
By some people, I mean our pooor afflicted friend IA, who began that whole tirade by telling us what different races have done and brought..as if there were such a thing to begin with - and managed to string nearly every unhinged thing it believes behind that in what was very clearly intended as a distancing method, internally held, from it's own stupid beliefs.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Of course you would be bothered by me celebrating gay rights.
BLM founder calls financial disclosures triggering to black women and therefore racist, and calls for the abolition of police, prisons and jails, and courts. I wonder how good the gays and trans would have it if the activists like you got their way.

Sounds like a pretty radical and crazy statement from the edit. How about context, and not just a sound bite?
The Right and Left often use edits to highlight a statement to "brand" someone a radical. Sometimes its justified but often it isn't. Context matters.
Now, if there wasn't any mediating context, then yes, this person is a radical, but how would you know without seeing the full interview?

Also, I point out she clearly said other systems would be put in place to replace them. That's the position of most abolitionists. She's not proposing utter lawlessness.

Do i also need to point out IA is essentially trying to turn this thread into a black bashing thread

Yes, an organization who puts out an edict on their official website calling Jussie Smollett innocent, and a person who says that financial disclosures for non-profits are racist and therefore should not be required by law, I'm sure are people we can trust to come up with an alternative to having courts in society.
What is your alternative idea to "courts", Helios? And I did not bash blacks, liar. I'm bashing activists that are proposing nonsense. Nice that you see blacks as a monolith. Cut it out. 80 percent of black people do not want the police defunded. Stop lying and acting like YOUR views represent black people's views. I was merely responding to Nudge attacking gay rights activists and trying to lessen those achievements.

Patrisse Cullors, a BLM founder, said she found it "triggering" — emotionally compromising — when she hears about financial documents being made public.
Cullors claimed that activists’ lives are put at risk and that they endure trauma by having to disclose their charities’ finances, while also claiming the system "is being literally weaponized against us," the Washington Examiner reported.
"This doesn't seem safe for us, this 990 structure — this nonprofit system structure," she said. "This is, like, deeply unsafe. This is being literally weaponized against us, against the people we work with."

Pro-white?
I actually prefer a decent red, or a dark blue.
Green isn't too bad.
Orange and yellow are out.
Purple? Nah!
