It's getting insane.

If a white person is protesting for their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights, then that is not racist.

They're making it to the point where if you are a Constitutionalist, you are racist. And this is not new, or recent. They've been at it for years.


and the armed black men enforcing the second and supporting it... aren't they?

Sure they are Constitutionalists, but a white guy doing the same is a racist.

Glad you're catching on!

Anyone travelling to Africa, Asia or even Europe knows that full well those two groups are the main reason America is still racist. You can keep protecting them all you want, makes no difference on what you say that is why America is a divided country. Even neighbour up North don't have these moronic groups causing racist fights.

I have to disagree with you here, those two groups are not the reason racism is still prevalent, but the unwillingness of a significant part of the white population to see Blacks and others as equal participants in this nation, America could have dealth with this issue as far back as it's official split from the British empire, they wrote a brilliant document, but failed to live up to it.

The 2nd great chance, was following the closing of the uncivil war and the era of reconstruction, thwarted by racist reactionaries for another 90 yrs rolling back 12 yrs of progress and promise, through the terror of the Klan, over turning laws that guaranteed rights of the recently enfranchised and enacting the Black Codes.

other possibilities included post WWI and WWII, especially WWII if the G.I bill was not subjected to tampering by racist reactionaries through redlining, so here we are push backs and setbacks the constant
struggle, the new Nazis and the old Klan is simply an open manifestation of it , not the cause.

I think the Marxist playbooks says they play it UP and make it out to be racism instead of people calling the Gov NAZI'a so they can further their Marxist one world agenda.

Weren't the swastikas on signs implying the government are fascists, and acting like nazis? Is it possible the legislator was too dumb to understand it? Either that or just a really over-confident spin doctor. Anyone should be able to see thru this.

the fact that people practiced their rights open carrying doesn't bother me at all...

What I find wonderfully hypocritical is the lady legislature wants to make it illegal to open carry in the capital while having people escort her while open carrying.

Get a clue, Whites in America stopped slavery in ALL of the Western Gov's when we formed the US, passed the Constitution and people started to read it and learn that "All men are created equal" and what that meant. Britain even beat the US to the punch and banned it before the Civil War in the US that the public began in earnest to stop the slave trade.

Islam, and Africa still practice slavery. So do Marxist like the Soviets, China and NK. Sex slaves were banned in Russia by Stalin but not by the Asians.

Don't pretend that this stuff just isn't true.

As disturbing a thought as that is, it also seems far too close to the reality of the situation.

Far, far too many people seem to have no issue with this--until it really begins to bite--now the truth of the economic catastrophe is becoming more, and more, evident.

Generally, I'm not one to say I told you so... I wish I'd been wrong. I really, really do.

You read and not even comprehend both what you quoted from me and text books in general.

btw stop making it look like the Blacks on the western side if the Atlantic did not took up their own fight for liberation from both within or outside of the confines of the U.S..you get a clue!

And if you think I'm one to shy away from the subject matter of African or African American involvement in industrial Slavery, then you missed my thread on it some time back.

So every single person at the protest waved a confederate flag... because people are calling the entire protest white supremacists...

Kinda like calling all Islamic people terrorists based off the actions of a few right?

Black white, slavery was destroyed in Western society starting in the 1800's. That anyone talks like people in America look down on others for skin color is wrong. It is about right and wrong and we are color blind as to whom is right or wrong. THAT is how Dr Martin Luther King believed and I do too.

You should have seen the Reddit. It was sick. I couldn't believe the overt racism when Reddit is usually pretty thorough and fast about finding racist comments but they just let it go.

Basically a bunch of young black people immediately commandeered the page and insisted on strict adherence to their rule: telling anyone white to shut up and ok-ing listening to what black people have to say but they aren't welcome to speak or share thoughts or feelings. They don't understand the topic at hand and so they have no place to say anything about it. Plus there was a cultural celebration which was very unfocused and hard to understand but basically it was a mix of:

-White supremacists should have been arrested sice they are putting us all at risk of infection and could end up killing people because they considered leaving home for a Klan meeting a reason to violate quarantine.

- That yay, Trump couldn't possibly be reelected when there are Nazis, KKK members, and white supremacists doing his bidding on every corner these last 4 years and that he is behind sending them to the location to harass legislators who are trying to protect us, and to condemn their life-saving stay at home orders.

- See racist white people? What do you think of the 2nd Amendment now that you realize blacks can benefit from it too? (Yea...????) What you gonna do now that n_ _ _ _s (n-word) got a piece too? (Even more ??!!?!?!)

- I wish they shot a few white people while they were there. The racism in this country has become worse than ever and if we ever want peace and success in life, the fact is that many/most white people will have to/deserve to die.

- I wish I were there, I'd have waited for some white guy to jog by and shoot him. I'd have fired into the crowd of Trump supporters.

- Addressing continued attempts from white people to share an opinion or even offer support not to mention your typical white upper middle class suburbanites apologizing for the disrespect their fellow whites were showing, having the nerve to keep posting thoughts and comments even though they knew the story mentioned black people making it a story only black people can ponder I guess. Any white comment gets immediate cursing, insulting, and wishing the person dead as it was established from the beginning that this is a 'whites: silence! listening only!' thread. Or white people apologizing that the measure of escorting elected officials into their duties is necessary in this day and age because of Trump a racist dictator who stole the election after losing the democratic way, failed to get voted in even though he rigged the election which shows how few votes he really got & how incompetent he is and we can be sure after he carried out a conspiracy to block his impeachment, he will steal the election this year again but this is how black people should come together when he does and escort Biden in....dont forget Trumps incompetence just murdered over a hundred thousand americans, a huge percentage of which he made sure we're black

- And a scene that rivals the famous video of Yale students telling their professor what's up after he wrote an editorial saying he was ok with people dressing up in costume on halloween, sick bastard... (although I don't get what they're talking about) constantly warning that the mutant melanin-lacking freak of nature diseased species who taught the world violence and suffering who came from a mutation in the caucus mountains (white people I guess) can't even begin to imagine the daily state of horrifying terror black people in 2020 must live their lives cuz our white privilege affords us a safe secure life of endless opportunity with assured security built off of $ our parents/grandparents used to build us a leg-up in life so if present, we better hush & learn about black problems not speak.

- And haha, we are finally getting somewhere on serious gun control, restriction, & confiscation in parts of the US so you white racists are getting your this or that kind of gun taken away. How dare white people be against these measures. They don't care about the genocide whites are carrying out on blacks who are being killed like no other time in history usually by cops or white strangers even though they are all unarmed or hands raised/cooperative. You don't see black people killing white people. You don't see cops shooting white people. And it happens so often it's systemic racism and calculated active genocide.


It wasn't the direction...or many, many directionS I expected it to go. And I felt like I was visiting some other planet because, and no I am not blind or ignorant, I don't see this thing which, according to Democrats who were polled, is the #1 danger Americans face in 2019 (poll= a few months ago), right leaning political terrorists, racism, and white nationalists/supremacists. I don't see what everyone is talking about or I'm just lucky maybe. I don't see the genocide, I don't see the conspiracies or the election theft...but these people do to the point the CONSENSUS is that someone must kill whites until we are a small minority, if left at all, and white people are just as supportive as black people. Kinda like the gays/lesbians who were protesting FOR Muslims in Minnesota to be able to practice Sharia law if they want to even though a video of one of the people complaining showed while visiting home, he was part of a group of men who tackled a person who was discovered to be gay, dragged him in a burlap sack to a rooftop, threw him off after successfully prying his fingertips from their desperate grip, and then I believe decapitated him bare handed & kicked his head about in a silly impromptu game of soccer...or "al football".

For some reason, I feel so strange in that the miniscule amount of time it requires to arm myself with facts before deciding how I see things, yields data which would suggest something totally opposite what was being said. Also, everyone seems to be bombarded by racism, an ugly human behavior sure, but one I just don't see. Hell, I dont even consider republican, right wing, alt-right, and white supremacist synonymous. And there are things that seem morally one sided to me, either A or B, while others are able to become metaphorical contortionist on demand, mixing opposing or hypocritical beliefs which... can't mix. It don't even make a LITTLE sense, yet so many I see are all in...even when it means calling for the extermination of ones own sexual orientation or skin color. Also not sure why I'm a born-racist monster just because 12% of the very small population of a country...sorry, that's 12% of the far less populated southern half of the country, who participated in a human atrocity for 100 years, had skin a shade similar to my own. I could maybe dig down and find both my white privilege & guilt too, but I have no relation to that whole ordeal. In fact, my grandmother was a slave and in the 20th century, MORE recent than they. Also, how is it my fault especially when it's an industry which began not at that time, but was practiced thousands of years there by people of that same color who "put it on the shelf" during US slavery but also does still today in 2020 well, along with middle Eastern, arab, &southeast asian people, predominately Muslim locations since theyre not considered human in Islam yet theyre on the same side now sayin im the bad guy cuz I look like a guy from Virginia from 1850!? I dunno,whole black white race thing=morons

Thank God angels like Douglas, Tubman, Evers, etc. are from another time so they could live their lives in peace, avoiding the oppression, violence, intolerance, hate, and inhumanity which plagues 2020 America. And to the young people suffering all the oppression and hardship you face today everywhere you turn, I say, "we SHALL overcome!"

Victims... put down your starbucks Frappuccino and your vape, pause your Drag Race and leave your tablet in the car, wear a festive light jacket and join the movement! Never again should a generation of Americans suffer as you have...you brave brave souls...

The only identity I care about is "patriotic Americans" vs. "the other"

Yeah like those Faketriots who love wrapping themselves up in American symbolism without giving a good gwaad damn about the idea of what America can be.

The Preamble.

"We " the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Yes it includes those who you wished to remain on the fringes , anonymous, hidden behind all that pompous chest thumping, puffed up fakery .
