BREAKING: Several Black Lives Matter Protesters Were Just Shot by White Supremacists in Minneapolis (1 Viewer)

First of all, I read every day. At least 30 minutes a day. 2nd YOU pick up a book. Sure Jesse Jackson popularized the term back in the 80's but it's first known printed usage was 233 years ago. So next time you want to talk shit you should know WTF you're talking about...

My memory is that as the civil rights movement of the 50's and 60's gained steam, black leaders asked that black people be called negros, blacks, and finally african-americans. It was a sort of political correctness (one that I don't have a beef with) related to lack of black history taught to western civilizations, especially the subsahara regions of africa.

FWIW, I call black people "black" because it was the term they said they preferred in the 60s when I grew up in Obama's neighborhood (Kenwood, south side of Chicago).

You know he resigned to run for mayor of Chicago, Obama's home town?

Shhameful... I've always hated Rham Emanuel... He was against Single Payer from the beginning...

 

[dviss1]

According to several witness accounts, the men confronted protesters at the rally, but were in turn chased by a group of protesters into an alley, where one of them pulled a gun and shot into the crowd. None of the five victims suffered life-threatening injuries, but all were hospitalized. Authorities are trying to determine whether the men fired in self-defense, or whether the matter should be investigated as a hate crime.

Sigh.... It's like you're not even reading the words you copied... Even if they were chased, do you really think they needed too shoot? They couldn't have just brandished the firearm and Sean that they had something to protect them? I'm calling bullshit on this story.

 

[dviss1]

Just what I expect from racists like you.

You post some idiotic shit. I use the term white people and you call me racist for it? White people made that term up so they could incorporate Jews, Italians, and Irish into their fold. But you want to attack me for using it? You call me racist but somehow want to find some sort of justification to why BLM protesters were shot? Gimme a fuckin' break. Last I checked this was also a personal attack. So check that shit at the door...

Please tell me how you've been adversely affected by racism.... Go ahead I'll wait...

Uh, lol at your source. Not HuffPost, which is terrible in its own right, but who they cite. Just like the enquirer.

BTW, I went to school with Rahm Emanuel.

Wow! That article is hard to read, enough to make a Saint puke. I managed to reach this part;
"Michelle Obama, who came to politics skeptically but saw her husband as someone capable of lofty achievements..."
I couldn't go any further.

Do you know Zeke also?

Went to Indianapolis once to do some stuff with Eli Lilly. About to leave the Hotel to go to the office, ask the desk clerk how far it was. He said half mile, perhaps a block or two more.
Want me to call you a Cab? I said no, I think I will walk.
He said, Oh no sir!

I got the message, and said call the cab.

Racism deprived me of my morning walk.

No. He might have been in a different grade at the same school, tho.

Just so you motherfuckers know I think its hilarious when white people complain about racism. Its fucking hilarious!

You just said that white people was a vile racist label.... What the fuck is this world coming to when the people who run it complain about being called white when they invented that construct in the first place... Fucking hilarious!

We've always wanted to be called Black. Its you white people that keep inventing new words to call us... Nigger, Negro, colored, and African American are all constructs of ignorant white people.

Sorry white privilege but we are the victims...

Holy shit, Dviss1 triggered.

.......and as usual. doesn't have a clue.

Dude you know huffpo doesn't report stories. They just link you to other people's stories. If you read the link you'd know there was a book written about it.

So you agree it's gossip?

Fine by me.

I don't have a clue to how funny it is when White males complain about racism?

I'm completely correct when it comes to who invented the words Nigger (ignorant and couldn't pronounce Negro), colored and African American. Negro however is Spanish so you got me there...

When any unarmed man is shot by the police he's a victim. They should have found another way to apprehend him. There have been few instances where white people have been killed while unarmed. But that is very few and far between.

Tamir Rice, Mike Brown, Aaron Campbell, James Perez, Kendra James, Eric Garner, Trayvonn Martin, Sandra Bland... All unarmed victims.

 

[dviss1]

There's usually always a little bit of truth in that. And you yourself know this. Since you went to school with Rahm Emanuel you know how much of an ass hole he is. He has friction with everybody.

He worked for Obama from 2008 to 2010.

He's a powerful member of the party you blindly support. He buried the video to help his own reelection campaign. You asked, tough if you don't like the answer.

Edit: fixed typo in dates

Hilarious. What I'm supposed to be a Republican?

They don't give a SHIT about me.

I register Dem to vote in the primary and am completely against open primaries. In my lifetime there has never been a viable Republican to vote for. If Eisenhower were available I vote for him in a New York minute. Same with Truman. However these aren't your grandfather's Republicans anymore so I simply just can't fuck with that party. I support equal marriage, I am completely against the death penalty, and I support a woman's privacy with her doctor. There's a reason why I'm voting for Bernie Sanders and not Hilary Clinton even if she was the primary. If I blindly support at the party I'd be voting for that bitch right? Boom! There goes your argument.

What does that AP story have anything to do with what I posted? Sorry if I'm being slow...

Malcolm X Party.

Your choice isn't a binary one.

You will vote for Hillary next November after she defeats Sanders handily.

When an unarmed black man is murdered by police, he's a dangerous criminal.

Truman was a democrat, btw. He was FDR's VP and became president when FDR died.

Oh well! You can't be all bad then! Just a Sad Sack example of a man.

Just listened to this lady speak, very positive person. She reminds me very much of a lady I promoted to development manager, and pleasure to work with too. The difference in what you leave behind compared to her, is remarkable.

I darn near posted that in a rush. Then I saw you beat me to it.

 

[dead247]

You tell me to chill out when black people are the endangered species in this fucking country? White privilege at its finest... "Chill out dude..." No I won't fucking chill out! We are tired of getting shot in the ass by racist people and racist cops all to get told to "chill out". Even when we protest peacefully to redress the government for our grievances, we are killed and told the fucking chill out... How come the police officer in Chicago wasn't charged with murder until 14 months later? How come they lied and said of the videos have no sound when I just saw one that did? Black lives do not matter in this country. If they did we wouldn't have a full 10-11 page thread on Paris when 147 people were killed in Kenya in April? Yeah we didn't hear about that did we? It wasn't all over the news even though it was a terrorist attack... Nobody's playing the fucking victim dude we are the victims...

I don't know where to start. First, your rampant use of "we" in this and many of your other posts indicates a strong "us against them" mentality. Do you really think that will ever lead to any positive outcome and understanding? Second, that massacre in Kenya was perpetrated by al-shabab, a Somali group of which many are black. Hence, the lack of media coverage here in the USA. It's sad, but the Paris attacks garnered all the attention because 1) Paris isn't known for this type of thing and 2) The media wouldn't get explosive rankings for an attack where blacks killed blacks.

Fuck you. I don't have to prove shit. I don't give a fuck if I get banned for this either. Fuck this post! It's some bitch shit...

No thanks. Could it be that you're actually the one with "privilege" for the personal insult being overlooked here by mods? And yes, you actually do have to prove shit.

Now... if you can't look at these situations and see a difference in how we are treated and at least try to listen and care about our plight instead of just saying "chill"...

Then you can kiss my black ass...

Again, no thanks. But let me say that I've considered the plight of being wrongly discriminated against as far back as I can remember. It's true that I can never directly experience being black and some of the injustices that might come with it. Believe me, I'm the farthest thing from racist as can be.

Finally, I'll admit that I could've been a little more constructive in my approach to this thread. I swooped right in and sharply commented, which probably wasn't the best move. My bad. I don't like drama and I usually do what I can to steer clear of it. Maybe I shouldn't go OT at all anymore. Just know that I'm all for unity in S2, despite disagreements.
