CaledonianGonzo Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Wow. I mean wow. I've been nothing but polite to you stupid idiots who haven't been redpilled on YouTube. Anyway, now that I've used regression analysis to prove that racism doesn't exist, my work here is done. I'll be back again in 10 months to prove using inferential statistics and the works of Intellectual Dark Web that The Sisterhood is sexist against men. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago's demographics are 32% white, 30% Hispanic and 28% black, with a very long history of black mayors and Democrat held. If you really cared about institutional racism and support BLM you would go after the Democrats for it. Biden - 47 years in politics. Pelosi - 45 years. Chuck Schumer - 45 years. Why didn't they do anything about police reform and choke holds and police brutality? Trump - 4 years in politics. Made choke holds illegal except in life or death situations. I don't think anyone in this thread thinks the systemic racism that is the result of hundreds of years of oppression is somehow all Trump's fault, I don't think Trump has been much mentioned here. Even Black Lives Matter themselves set up in 2013 so they must have thought racism was an issue under the Democrats as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point has whistled past. Correlation and causation divorced. Do you, hand on heart, believe that you hold no bias when it comes to race? Because, if you do, then you're pretty unique. The whole point is that we are all biased. The whole point is that we should look at: - our own bias - how many people (aka institutions) filled with people like us let their bias cause issues That's it. It's not a fight, it's not an us v. them. It's a realisation that our everyday bias cumulatively impacts others. BLM has asked us to take a look at our bias and for 99.99999% of people, there's work to be done and it's obvious. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think people gave him the benefit of the doubt at first and thought he was a genuine poster, where as by this point its clear he's some sort of massive alt-right twit and racist bellend. The thing is I've encountered a few people with the same sort of tactic on forums over the past week- they start by pretending they're nervous and just want an innocent 'rational' debate of 'facts' and how they like to share this 'interesting' article or video (turn out to be alt-right style sources), it soon descends into utter clap trap and their mask slips. No idea if it's a coincidence, or they've learned to try to hide their racist twaddle from experience, or what, but I think engaging with them is pointless. Their basic argument is : racism against black people doesn't exist, the real racism is against white people, people who call racist people are the real racists, Democrats are more racist than trump, they vote/support trump because he helps black people, black people are to blame for everything that happens to them, BLM are the real racists , people who complain about racism are a bigger problem than racism itself. Quite the amount of mental gymnastics to hold that level of complete BS together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone who hasn't read it, can really recommend Renni Eddo-Lodge's book "Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race". Obvious one I know but it's been on my reading list for a shamefully long time and am just reading it now. Does a great job of unpacking these kind of arguments.

It's sad really, don't know how people can go to Glastonbury and come away from it thinking "you know what, I really must continue to be racist and sexist, and spend more time on forums campaigning against all attempts to make the world fairer and more equal, alienating potential friends and fulfilling social conne along the way- THATS the real purpose in life!"

Yep I am currently reading this as well. Like you it had been on my list for some time. I just decided it was time to move it up the priority list. I have also just read a book by Ben Rhodes (a member of Obama's team and foreign policy adviser and speech writer) and it brought home to me just how complicated American politics is and how hard it is for them to get anything done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard her on podcasts and things before though so she's far from new to me, just hadn't read the book itself yet!

I saw the book come up in the news a week or two ago (or whenever it entered mainstream attention) and you couldn't get it - on back order online & all. I never went any further than that, but this thread reminded me & so it lead to a quick check online. It's now about, and I was reading the reviews (Amazon). They seemed ... Ok. Somewhat critical of the numbers. I was curious to see if you thought it was a "fad" read or genuinely worth the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 BLM direct from their website for fundraising - https://www.gofundme.com/f/ukblm-fund "We’re guided by a commitment to dismantle imperialism, capitalism, white-supremacy, patriarchy and the state structures that disproportionately harm black people in Britain and around the world." Dismantle imperialism? What imperialism? Captalism? You mean the system that's far better than any other. Even Denmark had to correct everyone that they were "socialist". White-supremacy? Seriously? In the UK, White-supremacy is the biggest threat to anyone in the UK? If these people were "brave" they would go after places that actually have modern day slavery. Saudi Arabia, China, most of the Middle East actually. They're just communists using racism as a stick to beat people with. And they're so OPEN about it. They literally telling people that's what they're doing, and everyone just tweets out the hashtag and keep their heads in the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
