Today the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) had to suspend their presidential campaign in Colombia because their leader Timochenco almost got killed when he tried to campaign in some towns.

Something i do not agree, for one in the peace treated they signed with the Colombia goverment, they had to guarantee the safety of the members of the newly form FARC political party.
The second thing i will say is that this was predictable, after 60 years of kidnapping and killings people wouldnt accept them.

I do agree the whole “institutionalized privilege” definition of racism does seem like a shallow “diplomatic immunity” play (in practice) where the accusers can never be held to whatever standard they’re subjecting the accused to. Personally, I’d rather racism/bigotry that isn’t actively malicious be viewed in the same way as drug/alcohol addiction - a compulsive habit that one is better off without.
Actually, now that I think about it, really selling the idea that such prejudice is self-sabotaging/immobilizing as opposed to just making people around you upset may help a ton.Last edited by Ragged Maw; 02-09-2018 at 04:08 PM.

Oompa Loompa time.
Rachel Brand is stepping down at the DOJ.
She's been there since Bush, so there might be more to this one than others leaving."Always listen to the crazy scientist with a weird van or armful of blueprints and diagrams." -- Vibranium

Because Trump is every bit the knuckledragging thug like Porter. There are stories out there about how he abused Ivana, but a Non-disclosure Agreement (and a truckload of hush money) keeps her from blabbing about her experiences with Trump to anyone willing to give her an interview. Trump doesn’t give even half a **** about abused women and the GOP follows his lead, anything they say about being advocates from women is pure bullshit. Originally Posted by kidfresh512

I want everyone in Trumps's Administration to quit en masse, leaving him all alone. Then we'll see how 'Sad' he is.

Well, I’m convinced Richard has gone into the aforementioned territory of malice despite his insistence of only wanting “peaceful removal” of black people (historical precedent paints a scary picture). So I won’t argue with that. Originally Posted by TheInvisibleMan

Trump supports a wife beater, Trump supports Nazis, Trump supports racists. If you support Trump, you support these things too.

For some reason my mind flashed to the N-word episode of South Park. Originally Posted by Kirby101

It comes to mind any time a single black person's opinion is brought up to represent the group.

Especially one whose opinion would be the same as maybe 1% or 2% of other black people. But to some, hey a black person said it, so it's all good. Originally Posted by Gray Lensman

California cops collaborated with knife-wielding neo-Nazi to go after stabbed antifa protesters
Highway Patrol officers tried to protect neo-Nazis' identities while asking their help to build case against their enemies.
In arrest reports, the same cop argued that a black anti-fascist counterprotester who had been stabbed three times in the altercation should be charged with 11 crimes. “As evidence, Ayres provided Facebook photos of the man holding up his fist” and said that “‘Black Power salute’ and his ‘support for anti-racist activism’ demonstrated his ‘intent and motivation to violate the civil rights’ of the neo-Nazi group,” the Guardian notes. Prosecutors did not take up Ayres’ charging recommendations against that man and set aside the vast majority of Highway Patrol recommendations, but are still bringing felony cases against three counterdemonstrators from the melee.
WHY should I trust Cops again?

Oh WBE-Eeeee...

CNN)Gary Emineth, a Republican candidate for US Senate in North Dakota, defended in a radio interview Friday sharing an image on Twitter that said no more mosques should be built in the United States.
Emineth, who is running in the GOP primary in hopes of challenging incumbent Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, appeared on the local North Dakota radio program Rob (re)Port show on WDAY AM970 and discussed a report CNN's KFile published Thursday that revealed that Emineth had shared several inflammatory posts on social media.
One of those posts was in 2016, when Emineth retweeted an image that called on users to "like and share" if they thought no more mosques should be built in America."So I just made a statement, I'm a Christian that believes we ought to propagate our Christian faith. So I see an article and I retweet, 'no more mosques in America,' you know, and like, and share. So I retweeted it. So yeah. So what? I believe in Christian — I believe in liberties, freedom, free speech, and Christian values is kind of my base. And so yeah, I posted it, so no big deal. I'm not that stressed out over it."Last edited by Tendrin; 02-09-2018 at 06:36 PM.
