Because right now we are seeing fascist policies play out to harm Central American families leaving places that this country caused to spiral. And children are being separated from families. This isn’t theory, this is reality. Please wake up. Don’t talk down to me. You know who I don’t want to stick up for? A self righteous prick who posts clickbait articles alienating white people.

I disagree. I think the reason most white people dont actively fight to eradicate inequality is the same reason less than half The United States votes on a regular basis: apathy. How many Asians fight inequality. What about Hispanics... or maybe middle easterners? What percentage of black people actively fight inequality. Id wager the answer is just about the same for all races. Whites maybe 80 percent of the average because they don’t have to deal with it on a daily basis...

A self righteous prick who posts clickbait articles alienating white people. Yeah, I agree. I try to live by the Golden Rule...do unto others. Treat everyone like you'd like to be treated. But when an article like that starts with "I used to think white people were evil." and concludes it with all white people being cowardly...I dunno, it just makes me sad because it doesn't help anything. If MLK is the standard on to how to win people over and send a message, this article is way far from that. I think MLK would be pretty upset by that article. I've said it on here before, you don't get people to come around to your point of view by telling them how stupid they are or how wrong they are. People these days just want to put others down who hold opposing viewpoints and take the moral high ground for themselves so they can cast judgement on others because that's what matters in America, 2018. I've got the moral high ground, you don't. No one's got genuine interest in winning people over and opening up their minds, they're just too busy flinging insults and pissing people off.

Renegade7 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Blacks shouldn't get a pass for hating white people anymore then whites a pass for hating black people. That's equality. I've lost count how many times I've had to interrupt a conversation to say my mom isn't like that, how often do you think that goes well for me behind my back?

The answer to that is simple. Whenever and wherever you spot racism or inequality, say something. Do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskins59 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 The problem with the article is that it's not just White people that are cowards. People in general are cowards. Most people, regardless of race, don't want to take any sort of action. It's probably just human nature. The best way to do something about the direction of the country is to vote. There are crazy people out there. If I join some protest, what if somebody decides to shoot? Screw it, I am just gonna vote. How many White Supremacists are there in this country? I would say millions. The majority of those bozos are also hiding. People don't like to show their face, period. You gotta be concerned about Doxing too. You want death threats?

Gibbit Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 See the majority of people simply have their own problems and lives to deal with. The majority of people hate their jobs, have trouble paying their bills, trying to keep their families together or simply trying to see/spend time with their kids. Majority of people just don't have time to fight for someone else's goals in life....doesn't make them cowards Now if were talking about some black kid getting beat up by some roaming gang of Nazis in front of me? yeah ill pull my gun on those guys and id fight for that kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins59 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 The thing is, Whites are not one demographic. Whites in this country know exactly where they came from. I have a feeling that if we nominated an Italian American, that person would probably win the Southern European vote. He will also win the Irish or Polish vote if he is Catholic. You can absolutely play identity politics even if our nominee is White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I am late to the party. No I did not read the article. An article with such a stupid, racist opening line will not get a click from me. Change one word in that title and it would be an article on Infowars that would be used to show how the entire Right is racist. Overly general negative statements about an entire group of people based on the color of their skin is something I expect from the Right. And I won't give them the clicks either. You should be ashamed of yourself for even sharing this article, much less starting a thread just for it. But it seems to just prove you are the person I have suspected you were for a while.

Of course he is, Ive called it out over and over again (only to get bashed and called a racist myself). It’s pathetic what he does and his history of posts (not sure how he is still able to post honestly). Glad others are finally calling it out as well.

Kosher Ham Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hilarious. This is so obscenely ignorant... I can't gather my thoughts. I feel sorry for folks that agree with this article or use this type of agenda/propoganda to try to further a belief they have. Pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourself for even posting this nonsense. I'll say this as a generalization towards the article... If white folks are so bad... why in the hell have they not enslaved folks all over again ? This type of **** frustrates me and makes me realize how truly arrogant and obnoxious folks can be.
