I'm waiting for some proper protests, like the shit that was going on after George Floyd's death. And obviously another golden casket for the man.
- I guess the outrage wasn't directed at cops after all._niko

Guess not.
"The shocking death of Tyre Nichols after a police beating has reopened anguished debate across the United States about police violence, fueling a sense that the huge, nationwide demonstrations of 2020 have done little to solve the problem."

"A Colorado grand jury indicted three police officers and two paramedics involved in the August 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man who was stopped by police while walking home from a store, put in a carotid hold and then injected with ketamine, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced Wednesday.'

- everything's fine, sir. See this chart? It's green. Now please put your hands on the hood of the carProjectile
- The red should start at 1776Gnash
- Technically it should start at 10,000 bc as they were slaves to other Africans and eventuallly arabs_niko
- Not if it’s ‘American’ slavery, thoughGnash
- ummm, American slavery started LONG before 1776, dude ... c'monmonospaced
- It wasn’t America yet. They were British, along with French, Spanish, and Portuguese colonies, ofc. DudeGnash
- But the bigger red line does make for a better memeGnash
- they only care about 'american' slavery bc that's where blacks are a minority. unlike rest of carribean & s america. black lives matter only to white people.hotroddy
- Yes, it was america. The British were here, in America, with slaves. And those british identified as Americans and founded the nation on slavery.monospaced
- The French introduced African slaves to Lousiana territory in 1710hotroddy
- and the Spaniards raped, pillaged and enslaved the native populations of Mexico.hotroddy
- There is no similar BLM movement in Mexico. Mexican commercials are white people and they are 5% of population.hotroddy

- The us economy was undeniably built on American slavery for a many decades before 1776. If you have a problem with this then you have a history problemmonospaced
- every economy in the west was built by slavery until 1900s. USA didn't become a global power house until 1950's. You're the idiot that thinks Slaves did it.hotroddy
- the costa rican economy was built on slavery. the jamaican economy was built on slavery. the Bermudan economy was built on slavery. what's your point?hotroddy
- the haitian economy was built on slavery and it's the poorest country on this side of the Atlantic.hotroddy

BLM response (click on broken link to read):
And people say BLM is not a marxist movement.
- Communism cures racism. interesting takeGnash
- it makes everyone equally poor and oppressed.hotroddy
- It’s not Marxist. Lol.monospaced
- how is BLM a marxist movement?pango
- Because Fox News and Newsmax say it, thats how!utopian
- I don't see "BLM's" response in your link.
Is communism in the room right now?palimpsest - https://instagram.fm…hotroddy
- founder is a self described 'trained marxist' but don't let the facts get in the way of your opinion.hotroddy
- direct link won't work. click on the broken image link in the post to see their response.hotroddy
- https://imgur.com/Sd…hotroddy
- I see image, I don't see the response.
We can do this.palimpsest - the image is BLM's response to recent police brutality in cuba.hotroddy
- We're getting there. I don't see the context in which this is a response to police brutality.
What I can see is them pointing USA's actions against Cuba.palimpsest - If you don't let the facts get in the way of your opinion you might be able to see that the embargo has a negative effect on Cuba.palimpsest
- There is a history between Communist Cuba and Black Revolutionaries.
https://www.harlemwo…palimpsest - I still have to hear somebody on the radical left deny that there's oppression from the Cuban government. We do point to America's part in the current situationpalimpsest
- This is not that.palimpsest
- the embargo is a scape goat of the reality. BILLIONS of dollars have been poured into the cuban economy from Russia, China, and Venezuela.hotroddy
- Venezuela alone sends more petro dollars every month than the GDP of most Carribean nations in return for Cuban interventionism and imperialism in South Americahotroddy
- and all cuba has to do is run fair elections (which is what cubans are fighting for) and the embargo would be lifted.hotroddy
- hotroddy. I think you're trying to say guilty by association. but what has BLM done that can be described as Marxist?pango
- Cuba is the true imperialist nation and it's colony is Venezuela, infiltrating the military and special police forces. All to for the corrupt petro dollarshotroddy
- listen to the cuban people and stop believing the communist playbook that it's America's fault.hotroddy
- of course, there's a link between black leaders and cuba, they want a similar revolution in the USA which is point of this discussion.hotroddy
- because wealth has been acquired by illicit or improper means and is why the movement has zero respect towards private property and businesseshotroddy
- @palm instead of addressing police brutality (the irony) release statement about 'right for self-determination' (irony again) seeing that's point of protest.hotroddy
- You lost me again.
Don't have the time to break it down.
Good day, sir.palimpsest - cool. and what has BLM done that can be categorized as Marxist?pango
- apart from disregarding private property, self-proclaiming as a Marxist, condoning communist dictatorships, and claiming capitalism is a form of colonization?hotroddy
- is capitalism not in any way a form of colonization? Has US never condone dictatorship?pango
- you can make anything is a form of colonization. Communism is a form of colonization. With exception that capitalism creates wealth for societies.hotroddy
- Yes, USA condones dictatorships when it's the lesser evil (like in Saudia Arabia) whereby if you overthrew it would be worse then current regime.hotroddy
- that is not the case in Cuba.hotroddy
- afros embraced the chavista revolution, embraced the castro revolution. it will embrace any revolution that promises equity in an inequitable societyhotroddy
- even if that 'equity' means a highly corrupt oppressive gov't that regresses into third world status.hotroddy
- perhaps to them Cuba is the Lesser evil.pango
- "disregarding private property" i guess sports fans are Marxist as well.pango
- has police never kill citizens point blank in the US? I guess US is Marxist.pango
- what is the definition of Marxist?pango
- perhaps there's a parallel with a Korean community in Japan that loves North Korean leader.pango
- those korean there were brought to japan forcefully during the Japanese invasion of korea.pango
- bunch of stuff happened before the current time and now they love Nkorea. because Japanese government ignores them, nationalist Japanese hate thempango
- the only authority who showed a helping hand was the Nkorean Gov.pango
- majority of them in the community aren't even from Nkorean.
all I see is when you're government failed you, you look somewhere else for help.pango - we all know how the US gov treated black people in the past.pango
- if a free, pro-western democratic cuba is 'more evil' than pro china, pro russia, authoritarian corrupt gov't than it shows BLM's true colorshotroddy
- that's an interesting story about Japan and north korean community. Japan should buy them all a 1 way ticket to North Korea to put things back into perspectivehotroddy
- tim cook is gay. does that make apple gay?
what has BLM done as an organization categorized as Marxist.pango - If you took a picture with Donald Trump smiling, holding thumbs up - does that make you a trump supporter?hotroddy
- https://media-cldnry…pango
- does it?pango
- so in your eyes, if trump takes a picture with a known white supremacist - trump is exonorated?hotroddy
- Is every so black and white for you? He's far from exonorated. That photo doesn't paint him in a good light. But also doesn't definitely say much.pango
- *definitivelypango
- trump took photo with Hilary. you think he's a liberal now?pango
- politicians frequently find themselves at the same events as their advisaries which they cannot control. that's not it.hotroddy
- I'm talking about reunions leaders actively seek with political activistshotroddy
- its exactly the same as your trump white supremacist analogy. what point are you trying to make?pango
- it's not marxistmonospaced
- black people dont' want a revolution either, derp, that's just what racist white people say b ecause they're racist white cuntsmonospaced
- I must be living in an alternate reality from you because I can name countless countries where afro revolutions have occurred.hotroddy
- and I lived through one yet it makes me a racist.hotroddy
- you uncultured cunt.hotroddy

"It is a little unusual to consider the Slavic community as a community of color, for conventionally the
community is considered White, and in all databases reviewed for this research, the community is
included within the White community. So why this variation? The Slavic community has arrived in this
part of the USA facing similar forms of discrimination and exclusion as did the Polish, Irish and Italians
many generations ago. These communities struggled with language, employment, education and social
exclusion. In much the same way, the Slavic community faces these barriers to parity and to equity. As a
result, the Coalition of Communities of Color has formally recognized the Slavic community as a
community of color. "https://www.coalitioncommunities…
Formed in 2001, the Coalition of Communities of Color (CCC) is an alliance of culturally-specific community based organizations with representation from the following communities of color: African, African American, Asian, Latino, Middle Eastern and North African, Native American, Pacific Islander, and Slavic.- Forgot "Discuss"drgs
- After one generation minimum the stigma is gone. That’s the difference. Also there’s no widespread stigma for Slavic. I’d bet big money most of the USA does ...monospaced

"Oreo
: a Black person who is perceived as adopting the characteristic mentality and behavior of white middle-class people"If I was to advise a black person who has a heavy ghetto accent, on how to be successful in life, I would give this unpopular advice: become an "oreo" and talk white.
Become a "poet", a "citizen of the world" without ethnicity. Be selfish, renounce your heritage and live only in your interest.
There is no such thing as to "act white". White people have to "act white" to be successful -- if it means to pretend to be educated and well-behaved. That's all I ever do.
There are no other options in today's America than this kind of humiliation.
Burn the whole continent with napalm and sow it with 1 meter thick layer of salt, so that no life grows ever again, because anti-socialism cannot be cured.

Are you guys bored? Let's start a flame war about racism.
What I think racism in America is all about -- using myself as a mirror to understand white people:
1. White people are not afraid of black people per se. White people are afraid of the ghetto, ie. middle class white people are equally averse to white trash as they are to black or latino ghetto thugs. They live for themselves, don't want anything crime-related in their neighborhood and try not to think about black people at all (neither positive or negative attitude).
2. Black people are associated with crime because crime rates in lower social classes are always higher. They are stuck in lower social classes because of systemic racism, which is true.
3. Systemic racism is not an intentional, directed conspiracy by white people, it just happens that America is an awkward country with low social mobility and heterogeneous culture. Its motto is the most murderous phrase in human history: "This is your problem".
4. When black people talk about racism they always mean systemic racism. When white people talk about racism they mean individual racism (being racist because of actual racial traits etc). When you for example ask black people if they can be racist against asians -- the answer is no because black people don't have that institutional power (black people holding asians down -- it makes no sense). White people will interpret this as hypocritical and it creates a lot of confusion.
5. Racism will get better only when America levels up in civilization and socialism, and improves its social mobility. Its stubborn conservative skeleton has to be broken completely, which is impossible to do because American lemmings take pride in anti-socialism.
If it doesn't happen and Europe/Canada/Australia progress further, there will be a strange gap making North America look like South America, with small protected enclaves of middle white class neighborhoods.Discuss
- uh ohNairn
- I hate to say this, but your assessment is not wrong.monospaced
- Not saying it’s that simple, necessarily, or that it’s totally complete, but you bring up good points that speak to the “system” in place.monospaced
- But this doesn’t factor in the actual systemic active racism in economics and the justice system. That’s what BLM is also about.monospaced
- by 2040 whites will be a major minority in the US: https://www.axios.co…grafician
- Give me an example of active racism in economicsdrgs
- That’s why you see so many black refugees immigrating to Canada right?hotroddy
- many is relative. US still got more.pango
- In economics? Well, racism in workplace holding back promotions and raises. In real estate for sure. Etc.monospaced
- Ok, to me that's passive racism (ignoring black people, not hiring etc). KKK is active racism. Active racism in economics -- how would that be like?drgs
- To demand that you get paid more than black colleagues, or to have black people evicted from your neighborhood -- that's active racism.drgs
- Anyway
https://i.redd.it/qr…drgs - By active, I mean that racism is driving a decision. Like not promoting someone because they’re black. Not unconscious bias.monospaced
- And driving black people from neighborhoods is active racism to me because it happens. Simply not selling to them based on color, etc. pricing too.monospaced
- Active or passive, it is happening. Every day, and it’s active in that sense. White people are actively making sure black people are kept in a place.monospaced
- Not just through being racist in general, but through racism in economics. It’s a huge part of the problem, not really factored in above.monospaced
- It would fit in 5 I guess.monospaced
- And it makes 3 difficult to accept by itself. It’s not simple. Racism is why social mobility is different for different races.monospaced
- Too often it is absolutely, 100% intentional, even if nobody says it. The act is racist and economic at the same time.monospaced

Debate
- he was never going to praise the verdict and tell his 3 million subscribers justice has been served was he?Bluejam
- they convicted the police and white America, Chauvin was just the scapegoat, this was manslaughter at worst._niko
- At least they can all pat themselves on the shoulders that they cured racism._niko
- my point was is that many people played a role in his death, but they pinned it all on one man and swept the greater ills of society under the rug._niko
- Who else decided to kneel on his neck for a few minutes? Totally missed that.monospaced
- the police force that trained him do do so and his partners that stood and watched._niko
