All things Racist...USA edition (2 Viewers)

[Farb]

I was looking for a place to put this so we could discuss but didn't really find a place that worked so I created this thread so we can all place articles, experiences, videos and examples of racism in the USA.

This is one that happened this week. The lady even called and filed a complaint on the officer. This officer also chose to wear the body cam (apparently, LA doesn't require this yet). This exchange wasn't necessarily racist IMO until she started with the "mexican racist...you will never be white, like you want" garbage. That is when it turned racist IMO

All the murderer and other insults, I think are just a by product of CRT and ACAB rhetoric that is very common on the radical left and sadly is being brought to mainstream in this country.

Another point that I think is worth mentioning is she is a teacher and the sense of entitlement she feels is mind blowing.

I have heard that before, I think Feinstein said it. Thanks.

She did. She was lambasted for saying it. And she was right.

 

[MT15]

Yeah, I have seen a list of some that have gotten the punishment they deserve. What I find odd is that that most have been dropped to just misdemeanors. It is almost like they are political prisoners, but that could never be the case, would it?

You just keep saying Q stuff, while expecting us to believe you don’t know anything about it. Lol. I mean, I get it that it’s been laundered through a couple of sources before it gets to you, so you think you have some sort of plausible deniability, but man, you really should know the origin of the conspiracy crap you say.

 

[SaulGoodmanEsq]

Yeah, Really.

You can't just selectively ignore the obvious assault and batteries that occurred.

I don't know. Ignoring inconvenient facts and reality is a sort of superpower on the right. @Farb is more than up to it.

I think we will find out, as a few states have filed lawsuits about collusion with big tech.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opin...h-to-censor-speech-on-hunter-covid/ar-AAWXQul

Cool. Another frivolous lawsuit with no basis in reality from the usual suspects.

Do you think Big tech is fair with what it allows and doesn't allow?

Private corporations (or "Big Tech", how Fox christened them for easier targeting) have TOS's that you agree on when you sign on them. What they allow or don't, is their prerogative. If you don't like their TOS, don't use them. That's the only "fair" there is. Again, not different from this site, or any site on the internet that allows people to post stuff.

Do you think there is equal voice on both sides, no bias at all? You know you can't honestly say that.

It ain't a democracy, and it has nothing to do with "sides" (there are more than 2 sides on social media, btw). You may perceive it as "sides", but only because it is members of your side that get banned for spewing easily proven lies that could affect the sheeple.

Yeah, still not a Q guy, sorry.

I never said you were. I called BS on you not knowing what QAnon is and that you only hear about from the left.

The coverage of these events were about as different from the media as you can have.

No kidding.

Billions of dollars of destruction, a lot of life lost for a narrative that was led by a leftist/Marxist organization with a catchy name and the entire media and government that both amplified the lie is to blame.

.. aaaand here comes the GOP's Hitler. I didn't know people asking for justice is Marxism. What lie was amplified?

But some elected corrupt officials got scared

???

so it was bigger than pearl harbor and the boston tea party combined...the horrors! LOL. Yeah, in my opinion there were a lot of stupid people there, more than likely encouraged by government informants and even the police in some examples. The hyperbole surrounding 1.6 by the media should be gauged on the overaction.

It 's not an overreaction. You just want to diminish the significance of the event, because that's your party's line. And it wasn't merely informants or the police, but elected officials, from Representatives to the President, that encourage an assault on a core value of the U.S.; free elections of representation.

Apparently, he can.

He's simply sticking to the gaslighting efforts of his preferred political party.

How many died during the peaceful BLM protests?

How about the bill for damage?

I understand it is too much for you to provide facts, so just continue with pictures while grown ups talk.

Looks like about 25, and doing a quick look, the majority were protesters who were killed. Some BLM, some anti. And usually the person killed, like in the first case, was the original aggressor. 11 were killed during protests.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/31/americans-killed-protests-political-unrest-acled

Here are some.

Most of the protesters killed this year were shot to death, and many of the incidents involved confrontations at protests that escalated and turned deadly when at least one of the people involved had a gun.


Lee Keltner, a navy veteran who made custom western hats, was shot after a “patriot rally” in Denver on 10 October. Video and photographs of the incident appear to show Keltner slapping a security guard for a local news crew, who responds by pulling out a gun and shooting him.

Aaron “Jay” Danielson, a far-right Trump supporter, was shot after a rally in Portland in August. Danielson’s suspected killer, Michael Reinoehl, was a leftwing protester who called himself an “anti-fascist”, and who was later shot to death by law enforcement officials, an outcome Donald Trump referred to as “retribution”.

Garrett Foster was reportedly carrying an AK-47 rifle when he was shot to death in July by an armed man who had been driving a car through a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters in Austin. Whether Foster threatened the driver with his gun is still disputed. The man who shot and killed Foster, the US army sergeant Daniel Perry, had previously tweeted “Now is the time to take up arms and protect yourselves against violence” and responded to a Trump tweet in June about “protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters” by saying, “Send them to Texas we will show them why we say don’t mess with Texas.”


Citing those tweets, analysts at a thinktank that monitors domestic terrorism classified the shooting as an act of “violent far-right” domestic terrorism. But Perry has not yet faced any criminal charges, and a local prosecutor in Texas said the incident was still under investigation.

Both Reinoehl and Perry have claimed they were acting in self-defense when they opened fire and that they felt their own lives were in danger.

In Kenosha in August, a 17-year-old carrying a rifle he was not old enough to legally possess shot and killed two people, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and seriously injured a third at a volatile late-night protest. His lawyer has argued the teenager, who came to Kenosha from Illinois, was also acting in self-defense.

In Louisville, the photographer Tyler Gerth was shot and killed at a downtown park where protesters gathered. The alleged shooter, Steven Nelson Lopez, was homeless and had a history of severe mental illness, and had reportedly been asked to leave the park earlier because of his behavior. Many of the protesters in the park were armed and on edge, and returned fire when Lopez started shooting, local news outlets reported.

In Las Vegas, Jorge Gomez was wearing body armor and carrying several guns when he was shot to death by Las Vegas police at a protest in June. Before he was shot, several protesters told Gomez they disapproved of him being armed, and even a journalist questioned him about why he was holding his gun in his hand with his finger on the trigger, the Las Vegas Sun reported. Las Vegas police officer Shay Mikalonis was shot in the head during the same protest, and reportedly remains paralyzed from the injury. Officials have said the 20-year-old Las Vegas resident charged in the shooting had not been participating in the protest before the attack, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Other law enforcement officers have been injured in non-fatal shootings this year, including two Los Angeles sheriff’s deputies shot in Compton while sitting in their patrol car in mid-September, and two Louisville police officers shot in late September during a protest over the lack of serious charges against police officers in Breonna Taylor’s killing.

James Scurlock, a Black Lives Matter protester with an infant daughter, was shot to death in Omaha in May after a confrontation with a white bar owner outside the man’s bar.

And then of course, a few protesters were run over and killed.

Other demonstrators died when cars drove through or rammed into crowds of Black Lives Matter protesters. Summer Taylor, a Black Lives Matter protester who worked in a veterinary clinic, was killed in such an incident in Seattle. So was Robert Forbes, a black protester from Bakersfield whose sister recalled him demonstrating decades earlier over the brutal police beating of Rodney King. In St Louis, Barry Perkins, a father of two, was killed after being dragged and run over by a FedEx truck during a protest in May.

Amazing how much murder was perpetrated by Counter protesters. One or two may have been self defense. But they also inserted themselves into the situation, aggressively.

The right wing, with their gun culture obsession, is far more violent than the left in this country. So no real surprise there.

Absolutely they occurred and they are charging the thugs accordingly and I am glad for it. The other charges, I think are just political grand standing by the politicians.
You also can't ignore the violence, assaults, battery and destruction the other riots caused.

I appreciate the faith you have in me!

Our government does love them, lawsuits make a lot of poeple a lot of money and allows the best stage for virtue signaling.

Do we also feel the same way about free speech when it comes to social media as we do about Christian bakers not wanting to bake a cake in their private business?

Well, our system is set up for exactly 2 sides, so I think my words are just fine. Funny about the sheeple though.

Yeah, still only hear about Q on here.

The lie that blacks are killed by whites at enough of a rate to create a narrative of blacks being hunted in the streets. If I am not mistaken, black kill more whites than vice versa and black kill the VAST majority of blacks. Why does BLM not care about that? Because they are a racist black supremacy organization that is no different from the Klan except for color of the skin.

Yes, I do diminish the event because I think the over reaction would be comical if not so dangerous. Just like you all diminish the summer of love riots. Is is that much different?

If the rioters were not here to begin with, would there have been a counter? Nope. What were they protesting again?

What was the damage total?

protestors run over and killed? I thought that was counted as a vehicle killing people, like in Waukesha? Seems to be a lot mixed messages.

Of course. I was merely taking issue with the quibbling over the word 'attack.' It was an attack. That not everyone who was there attacked the police and stormed the building with violent intentions does not make it any less an attack.

 

[Farb]

Do you think there is more gun crime with the right or the left? How many were killed in Chicago last week? How many of those were right wing gun obsessed? Do you not count gang violence?

Were any thugs arrested for Jan 6?

 

[SystemShock]

Taking the story at face value (baker offering all other cakes he had already baked and all of the services that go with it, just not wanting to create a special cake for that particular occasion), while I think the baker's position is silly, I side with the baker. It's forking cake. It's not like the baker was denying access to healthcare or education.

Well, our system is set up for exactly 2 sides, so I think my words are just fine. Funny about the sheeple though.

Our system is not set up for exactly 2 sides. It just happens that 2 sides are the major players. Global social media platforms aren't set up for 2 sides.

The sheeple comment, really, when you look at the facts, Republicans are the true sheeple.

Yeah, still only hear about Q on here.

I bet you do.

The lie that blacks are killed by whites at enough of a rate to create a narrative of blacks being hunted in the streets. If I am not mistaken, black kill more whites than vice versa and black kill the VAST majority of blacks. Why does BLM not care about that? Because they are a racist black supremacy organization that is no different from the Klan except for color of the skin.

So, first of all, BLM's primary platform is to protest police brutality and systemic racism towards blacks. You may say that's a lie, but the evidence points to the contrary... it's why you see a white dude walking around with a rifle and the police waving at him vs a black dude being gunned down on a routine traffic stop for telling an officer he's a legal carrier; or why the Buffalo shooter is apprehended but a 12 year old child has 2 seconds to "comply" before he gets gunned down; or why BLM marches were met with riot police, while white insurrectionists assaulted the U.S. Capitol with police even moving barricades for them. I can go on and on. but hopefully gets the point across.

BLM does not claim that black people are the superior race in the name of God and that whites are inferior. They don't use pointy hats either.

Yes, I do diminish the event because I think the over reaction would be comical if not so dangerous. Just like you all diminish the summer of love riots. Is is that much different?

I am not diminishing the "summer of love riots". But the "summer of love riots" were not a direct attack on a core tenet of the U.S. of A. by groups of people you say have never heard of.

https://notthebee.com/article/this-...ne-gun-battle-broke-out-four-people-were-shot

Why do you classify gang violence as violence from the left? Gangs are criminal organizations, not left wing ideological groups. Nobody on the left supports gangs or gang violence.
