mmmm
That's an interesting way to put it.
@little hollow in the first it wasn't what "the media was hiding" the autopsy and drug footage came out later, its not always a consiracy.
Wait which part would be the conspiracy in this situtaion?
What I meant was that the media showed the footage and didn't tell people to wait for context. That's what I meant, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Because it looks really bad from just that one view
Okay, well anyway, going to go eat dinner. Ttyl I guess
@Erby @little hollow @Osha19 even if it was not a murder it stood for a much larger problem of the systemic racism in the country. the protest adressed that. A majority of the protests were and are peaceful, however mistakes and disgraces were made on both sides, certian riot police misused crowd dispercement methods and went in a direction wholely unconstitutional; and there were and are certian protester who took advantage of a good movement to commit action that were crimes, these people do not repersent the movement on a whole, i do not think you can assign the title blm to those unorganised rioters. and antifa, I still have not been given proof that they are an organised force or if they even exist at all, but I am open to learn as I do know all.
and on the matter of news, no news network is unbiased, and as a moderate I can tell you which are the most ridiculous, one is fox, the other msnbc. my advice is trust neither, the new york times used to be good but now you have to read really acrefully, the only ones I really trust is BBC.
You have an opinion on ANTIFA and I hold my own. As a movement for equality. there should be more care with it.
There has not been more care.
I speak from experience from my time in a 3rd world country that lead to me being mentally scarred. The hatred towards me for being white and american was unbearable a lot of the time.
so you can get behind equality
You may not believe in reverse racism (I say reverse even though the true definition of racism works for any color against any color) but I do know about it.
reverse racism does not exist,
racism is racism no matter who you are
> so you can get behind equality
@chaz I can and have gotten behind equality. but I have seen how much BS is spread about the police, etc. Systemic racism... I knew so many south africans that came to America for a better chance and got it. Most of them were black. If there was systemic racism, they shouldn't and couldn't have made a life like they did.
ok so you believe a black man can be racist to a white man and vice versa?
duh
good. you aren't one of the incompetent idiots that say I am racist for even suggesting that.... sorry Its a touchy subject for me.
its just something to be careful of because certian people who are truely racist have used "well racism works both ways" to scoff off their own racism
but the racism towards african americans and muslims is the largest adressable problem at the moment
y
I am a man of faith. I will never and have never treated another man poorly because of his skin color.
I understand that
> but the racism towards african americans and muslims is the largest adressable problem at the moment
@chaz I'd argue Christianity is in there too. Have you seen how much hate we get. Ofc we are warned about this so I guess we had time to prepare.
doesn't make it right though
all I am saying is BLM should not be misconstrued with common vagrants
BLM has become more than just racial equality. That is where the issue lies.
The movement should be designated as a terrorist organization at this point.
How does redistributing wealth have to do with Racial equality? We have been giving money to the black communities for years. It'snot like its suddenly a new thing thats happend.
no, blm is a movement, an ideal, but people are imperfect and taken a good thing to an extreme and they are the ones who get on the news, not the peaceful protestors
you didn't. It's one of my arguments though.
never has
but there have been some bad riotors
Rioters*
