A message from Pete Carroll on what we can do to help combat racism.

I have no idea how you came up with that.
The only thing I'm still entitled too is my own personal opinion....at least for now that is.
But if tRUMP gets his way, even that will be illegal.

 

Can't honestly say I listen to Biden. Not sure why you assume that,
I've listened to Bernie's opinions on corruption and healthcare.
Whether I like it or not, the richest people control government.
Nobody pays any attention to what a poor person says.
"Money talks"...as they say

 

The dumping the tea in the harbor that took a couple of hours in which no one was hurt. John Adams defended the British soldiers who fired on the mob attacking them

 

When Chelsea promises never to fly by private aircraft again, puts all her domestic staff on permanent leave of absence with lifetime pay, and does all their present chores herself the rest of her life -- she would still have so much elite privilege that I would never listen to her.

 

“And I contend that the cry of ‘black power’ is, at bottom, a reaction to the reluctance of white power to make the kind of changes necessary to make justice a reality for the Negro,” King said. “I think that we’ve got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the economic plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.

This is what I must be thinking of. I am sure he'd be pissed but nothing ever changes until people have had enough. I guess.

 

Yep, he continued what had been started 7 years earlier than his inauguration.

 

Not if one isn't white. According to some.

 

Yep...next you'll be saying tRUMP "enriched" him.

 

Is that what you do?
Why should anyone else? You disagree with his view on racism?
What is wrong with his point of view?

 

Thanks much....welcome words of wisdom.

 

Who's culture is being excluded? And how?

 

Who's house has been burnt down?
Who's family has been killed?

 

You keep asking the same question....

And I keep giving the same answer...

 

Human beings are very inclined to discriminate between real and imagined enemies. That will always handicap rapid development, but it was also probably a key to the survival of many ancient and tribal cultures.

"For example, when the British first crossed the Atlantic and confronted the Iroquois on the eastern seaboard of what is today the United States, they were able to steer across the ocean in the first place because they used rudders invented in China, they could navigate on the open seas with the help of trigonometry invented in Egypt, their calculations were done with numbers invented in India, and their general knowledge was preserved in letters invented by the Romans. But the Iroquois could not draw upon the knowledge of the Aztecs or the Incas, whose very existence they had no way of knowing. The clash was not between the culture created by the British versus the culture created by the Iroquois. It was a clash between cultural developments drawn from vast regions of the world versus cultural developments from a much more circumscribed area. The cultural opportunities were unequal and the outcomes were unequal. Geography has never been egalitarian."

Those changes have long since been made or most if the businesses being burned wouldn't be black owned.

 

Nonsense for Obama's entire time in office the middle and lower either lost ground or were stagnant under Trump both made gains.

 

What a great outlook.

I'd like to sign up for some of those positivity classes!

 

It been steadily getting worse from the time I was a young man.. So who are you gonna blame starting with Jimmy the good ol boy Carter

 

WOW, that's the DR, Luggit I've grown to respect.. Nice read bro, seriously!

 

HUH? That was truly an enigma

 

I'm still trying to process it to be totally honest!

 

Do you support black lives matter? Do you think he should give up his white privilege? That's what he says. Why doesn't he do it?

 

Again, facts, not in evidence. The folks who actually are implementing speech codes aren't this president, or his party. They are democrats doing this. Telling any and all that even speaking out against their tyranny is a crime. That fact that you can't express that, well, that's the real problem.

 

Who could have seen that response coming. It is typical though. The angst absent intent. The adrift dingy in the ocean of malcontent. Got it.

 

Sometimes, you have to give back a little. I hope the message might be heard out there and perhaps help folks understand that sometimes, they are their own worst enemies in life. No one is keeping anyone down, unless you look at the grievance culture that seems to only have, as a goal, the continued oppression of minorities. How can democrats live with themselves, knowing that they are working tirelessly to ensure that continues? It is honestly disgusting to watch them try.
