Major Harris Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Just tell me what I need to be outraged about. I trust your judgement. Let me know when i am outraged or feel that u should be. But racist actions usually seem to upset you. So i was just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Institutional racism, murder and the failure of our country to provide justice for the victims upset me...greatly.You, apparently, are a bit a more attuned to traffic patterns and lane closings.

Here we go, someone questions something and they're immediately on the opposite fringe. Lovely. You pass the es test with flying colors. Actually, when protesters blocked traffic a couple weeks ago and it was discussed, i actually changed my opinion on it. I don't care for it, but in the grand scheme of things, it's small matters compared to what they are fighting for. I was speaking more to the part about them denying only white people pasaage and shouting at them about them being white. Perhaps i failed in clarifying that part. So now, will you finally answer the question? I promise, it's not against es playbook rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/07/21/watch-astonishing-exchange-when-elderly-man-tries-to-pass-through-black-lives-matter-protest-on-sidewalk/  I dont know if anyone has experienced the BLM blokcing 4th and Mass yesterday and today.  I dont like the idea.  I really dont like the fact that they blocked white people but let black people walk through.  I am infuriated that DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier gave a stand down order when officer asked for permission to arrest the blocking protesters.  Now BLM are given permission to block public roads and make them only accessible for black people?  I 100% agree that black men are targeted by police and they are more likely to be unreasonably "feared" and shot ... but blocking roadways for only black people is not the answer.  Yeah, I'm hesitant to believe this actually went down like this without knowing more facts. Probably seeing one side of the story, and its partly based on unknown sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah, I'm hesitant to believe this actually went down like this without knowing more facts. Probably seeing one side of the story, and its partly based on unknown sources. The footage I saw on the local news (so take with a grain of salt) showed the protesters blocking both the street and the sidewalk. There was a clip of a man riding a bike trailering infants who was forced to turn around and another man dressed in business attire that they wouldn't let pass. Both were white males. Can't say if that's representative of what was actually happening or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if its tdue that they're letting black people pass, its just not right. Now I am not the type to be manipulated into completely dismissing the movement as a whole because of this, but the fact is that this hurts them, and it is something they can control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grego Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I was speaking more to the part about them denying only white people pasaage and shouting at them about them being white. Perhaps i failed in clarifying that part.   The regressive left (also sometimes referred to as regressive liberals) is a political epithet used to negatively characterize a section of leftists who are accused of holding politically regressive views (as opposed to progressive views) by tolerating illiberal principles and ideologies for the sake of multiculturalism and cultural relativism.  Within the specific context of multiculturalism, British anti-Islamism activist Maajid Nawaz used the term in 2012 in his memoir Radical: My Journey out of Islamist Extremism[note 1] to describe "well-meaning liberals and ideologically driven leftists" in the United Kingdom who naïvely and "ignorantly pandered to" Islamists and helped Islamist ideology to gain acceptance. In a 2015 video presentation on the Internet forum Big Think, Nawaz elaborated on the meaning of the term, saying that it describes "a section of the left" that has, in his opinion, "an inherent hesitation to challenge some of the bigotry that can occur within minority communities ... for the sake of political correctness, for the sake of tolerating what they believe is other cultures and respecting different lifestyles".  ........This "racism of low expectations" lowers the moral standards of people within minorities, seeking excuses if they happen to express, for example, misogyny, homophobia, chauvinism, bigotry, or antisemitism, whilst holding members of the majority to universal liberal standards.[2].

twa Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Actually, murder of unarmed black folks by police increase the racial divide. Diverse groups of people coming together to march against violence closes the divide...which is why so many are denigrating the marches. Lots of folks need that division, they make their living from that division.  actually false accusations of murder do  especially of the hands up,don't shoot variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamebreaker Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I agree. Actions like this only increase the racial divide.  Wasn't the mugshots from the majority of the BLM blocking a road white people though? Or maybe that was a different city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFi Skins Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So you all dont have to keep guessing... here is the link to the video of the BLM group not allowing the older white man to pass and shouting "we see you and your white privilege" "going to your white privilege job"... This is in Washington DC yesterday.

Then do your holier than thou sarcastic thing you've taken to lately.I see your response to sin, and agree with his response. Only thing is, i never acteed like you were supposed to be pissed off. I'm not pissed off. I don't think it's cool at all if true, but pissed or angry or ready to shave my head, not at all. I asked a simple question, and these are the responses i get. I guess i deserve it, i really am in general an asshole. Now, I'll try to ask another question: Where would you draw the line?

Springfield Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 ^ That's what I saw on the local news and that's not doing this movement any good. They look like a bunch of spoiled children who have never been told "no" and they are plenty happy to ruin people's daily lives. Their message is lost with this petulant behavior.
