All Purpose News and Politics Thread Part IV: The Center Cannot Hold

[Bonesaw]

And it should be addressed as such instead of defended, but here you are defending it because of your false logic that it means "white people".

I am explaining why...you would have it that whites have some biological racism gene that creates their racism without any prompting. Why don't we take a look on black on white racism. Maybe I should post some violent crime statistics showing the difference between black-on-white violent crime and white-on-black.

And a Colbert video...seriously? Is that supposed to support your statements? Spoon-fed, media-driven narrative. Jesus.

ThAtS wHaT tHe LeFt DoEs

All you have to do is refute the points, and yah just can't do it hey? Post some more memes and witty ****-posts. Awesome job.

You've been refuted plenty. You disappeared for a few days, then came back spouting white supremacist drivel about 'white civilisation' and Detroit. You're not worth the time and effort. Go crawl back under whatever rock you crawled out from.

Disappeared lol...had other things to do. I actually don't hit the refresh button 24/7 like some people.

I'm sure it would be easier for you if only for the fact that there a great many people who align with the same argument...not just me.

Racism exists across the board among all races on different levels. Any increase in racism on the white side is due to identity politics created by the left and Obama- the vast majority of which targeted white people. Not to mention the ever-increasingly negative portrayals of whites across all media.

What you have, in general, is an increasingly frustrated working-class of whites who for years have heard nothing but how "evil" and "privileged" they are, while they continue to pay taxes into a system that support a large percentage of the same people issuing those insults.

Jesus H. Christ. Words fail me. So, I won't even try. It's not worth the expenditure of time or keystrokes.

You could do that but they aren't running the country right now.

If you want to do the "black crime stats" thing then go right ahead -- no one is stopping you.

By the way, the Colbert video wasn't meant to address your post -- it was just for general viewing.

Personally, I think I already addressed it well enough in the first post, and I'm not about to argue about it.

Haha...but apparently the drivel you typed is worth it.

[kidfresh512]

Oh hey, more Republican moral courage.

See and that type of thing should be an easy win. It is so easy to just say I will NEVER support racism that isn't what me and my party stands for!
But that isn't the truth, and they show you it isn't the truth when they wont condemn it, when they say well it depends who the opponent is!.

Just sit back and cry victim anytime someone points out the clear racism. And us brown people are just supposed to fall over ourselves and be grateful we are allowed to live in America or something. We can't point out injustice, or unfairness, no that's un American if its a brown person. But its MAGA if you are a trumper.

Not ALL whites, just the malignant strain of miserable, diseased bastards who look down on blacks and people of other races like they're inferior. Meanwhile, oh, yes, let's look at the centuries where blacks owned whites in this country, treated those poor folks like cattle and literally worked them to death on plantations, denying them civil rights, voting rights, even human rights well into the 1960's. Let's not forget those hordes of madmen in dark colored bedsheets rampaging through northern cities, slaughtering oppressed whites at every turn. By all means, post THOSE statistics. Good God! What the **** narcotics are you on? I want the concession because I'll get rich overnight keeping you stoned!

[Bonesaw]

White People!

The only race not allowed to show pride in itself or its accomplishments! The only race not allowed to be resentful or frustrated with other races' racism towards it!

He's just trying to promote the lie that speaking out against racism is the same as hating white people.

It's a tired and old argument with no basis in truth -- along with the white supremacist supposition that the country would suddenly go crazy if white people weren't in power, which is why people like Trump are apparently justified in making racist and political attacks on "minorities" from their positions in the government.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I can't take anyone serious when they claim they regret giving a serious capable leader a 2nd term over a man who goes on a racist tirade on his twitter.

There is more of course given how this administration has been in complete chaos with people quitting , people resigning in disgrace and Trump firing them because they won't do stupid ****. Yeah i mean who wants a leader when you can have a circus side show .

Greeks, Italians, Danes, Germans, Swedes (etc) -- all openly take pride in their accomplishments, fly their flags, celebrate their heritage even in America.

The problem with "white pride" is the open association with white supremacist groups who don't seek to celebrate their culture so much as to degrade everyone else's.

----
"White pride, or white power, is an expression primarily used by white separatist, white nationalist, neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations in order to signal racist or racialist viewpoints. It is also a slogan used by the prominent post-Ku Klux Klan group Stormfront and a term used to make racist/racialist viewpoints more palatable to the general public who may associate historical abuses with the terms "white nationalist", "neo-Nazi", and "white supremacist"."

But no one has answered the question of why all Black people aren't nurses.

Ya see, there ain't no institutional racism, only Black folk who don't want a good job.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

[WestPhillyPunisher]

How interesting! I just put Bonesaw on my ignore list, now he's been banned. I guess his last post was a bridge too far for the mods. Predictable behavior for right wing lunatics who stir up trouble in this thread.

Ironically enough, my grandmother became a nurse because, even though she got a degree from UCLA in design, she says white people wouldn't hire her for work.

I can't speak to the truth of it, but that's what she tells me.

[4saken1]

Many of the same people complaining about all this "white privilege" and "white oppression," regardless of color, could right now, if they put in the time and effort, get started on a track that would lead them through school, get a degree and a decent job.

So in your opinion, black people don't suffer higher unemployment because the system is rigged against them, but it is instead because they just tend to be much lazier. I just don't know why anybody calls Republicans racist!

If all that white oppression was true this country would not be, far and away, the most sought after country to immigrate to from non-whites, double that of any other country. It was the white Founding Fathers that installed a government that allowed for that amount of freedom and mobility in the first place (the same government structure libs are trying to destroy).

Ummmmm, do you have statistics for non-white immigration during the time of our forefathers? You do realize the slave trade was not considered 'immigration', right?

Well now, THIS figures to be interesting:

Ocasio-Cortez gets new 2020 challenger: a Republican immigrant from Jamaica

Scherie Murray, a New York businesswoman who immigrated from Jamaica as a child and is active in state Republican politics, is launching a campaign Wednesday for the congressional seat held by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Fox News has learned.

In a phone interview, Murray, 38, confirmed her intention to run for the New York congressional seat as a Republican.

“There is a crisis in Queens, and it’s called AOC,” Murray told Fox News. “And instead of focusing on us, she’s focusing on being famous. Mainly rolling back progress and authoring the job-killing Green New Deal and killing the Amazon New York deal.”

Murray, who was born in Jamaica and moved to the United States when she was 9, is officially launching her campaign Wednesday with an introductory video that takes sharp jabs at the 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez.

“Your representative in Washington chooses self-promotion over service, conflict over constituents, resistance over assistance," Murray said in the video. "Queens and the Bronx needs someone who will create jobs instead of turning them away."

Asked about Ocasio-Cortez’s brand of Democratic socialism, Murray said, “I think it’s far, far to the left and it is not connecting with everyday Americans.”

As for "Medicare-for-all," which Ocasio-Cortez has embraced, the Republican said: “Medicare-for-all, I think a lot of people are happy with their current health insurance.” And on the Green New Deal, the left-wing proposal to address climate change pushed by Ocasio-Ortez, she said: “We know that it certainly will kill jobs.”

Murray joins four other Republicans who have filed to run for the seat: former police officer John Cummings, medical journalist Ruth Papazian, construction contractor Miguel Hernandez and entrepreneur Antoine Tucker.
