    I can't deny that there are a TINY number of leftist radicals who have this aim; 2016 Inauguration Day WAS pretty much all Antifa-related.

    But no, they gonna fail like the Cubbies.

    ChiSox all the way.

    This is just riot-loot-burn-murder mob violence now. No meaning at all other than Leftist and Progressive is attached to it.

    The people with a goal are the organizers, the puppeteers pulling the riot-loot-burn-murder mobs' strings.

    Huge Cubs fan here, 2016 was glorious.

    However I think the sox really are going to show some promise the next couple seasons they are going to be pretty good I think.

    Baseball needs to get their season started but I think they're still arguing about spitting.

    Yeah. They traced it to the “Identitarians” or just one of our many klans (AIM) of fine people fighting for recognition in the field of hate.

    Which one? Don’t you think that would have been pertinent information to share as well as furthered their cause and legitimized their claim?

    But it’s conspicuously absent.

    This is an excellent way of expressing this explanation.

    Rioting and looting is never justified. Those rioting and those trying to justify the rioting are beyond ignorant

    Here maybe you will

    How many billions of dollars have we put into inner city communities and schools? We have ended explicit governmental discrimination against blacks. We allow them their own professional organizations to help their communities. We provide billions for minority owned businesses. We give them tax advantages, government subsidies and we PAY businesses to hire them over white people. Not to mention the millions of people we sacrificed through war and victims of violent crime. And what do we get? Riots, looting, having our homes, businesses and places of worship burnt to the ground AND to top it all off we get to be called racist

    Are you ****ing kidding me right now?

    You post is funny, and not at all on a good way.

    "We have ended explicit governmental discrimination against blacks." Really? No you haven't. Systematic racism still exists, especially with most cops. Cops are not good people as a general rule.

    And you don't "allow" them anything. That's ****ing pathetic to say you do.

    And as far as taxes - I think taxation is theft so any taxis u just, so that dog doesn't hunt.

    If you understood his statement, you'd see he isn't condoning looting. He's asking you to empathize with the reasons behind it though- to understand the trauma.. You're position is quite clear- you refuse to, thus you refuse to acknowledge the issue.

    As. I said earlier- I support the Korean Rooftop Snipers. But the gave warning shots.

    Here, maybe this will help you. FB_IMG_1591126646658.jpg

    Name ONE example of explicit government sanctioned discrimination against black people that exists today. Because I can name several against white people.

    I won’t list them unless you challenge me on it but there are a PLETHORA of black organizations like the black lawyers association, association of black accountants, black congressional caucus, etc etc that exist for the SOLE and STATED purpose of advancing politics to benefit the black population.

    Any ONE of which, if they existed for white people, the cries of racism from the left would be DEAFENING and anyone who joined such an organization would immediately be branded a bigoted white supremacist.

    I understand their position. I simply disagree. Not only have we given their communities trillions of dollars over the last 70-100 years but we have sacrificed millions of lives and countless number of lives ruined at the alter of their freedom. We have more than paid our fair share for things white people today had absolutely nothing to do with. At some point white people have to stop being the scapegoat and personal accountability must take hold.

    Qualified immunity.

    You miss the point entirely. The fact that you think you "allow" them to form these organizations is pathetic. You don't "allow" people to form organizations, it is a person's freedom of association that gives them the RIGHT to do so.

    Oh yeah, there are a plethora of white organizations as well, or have you forgotten that?



    Understanding their position and empathizing with it are two different things.

    In what way is qualified immunity explicitly racist?

    Name one white organization you can join and not be labeled a racist for doing so.

    It is a "get out of jail free" card for racists cops and is an impediment to civil rights.

    Country clubs.

    But I believe in the right of businesses, people and groups to discriminate.

    They use qualified immunity against white people too. That’s not explicit racism against blacks.

    Which of these country clubs is all white? And which ones stated goal or purpose is political advancement for white people?

    The vast majority is used as such. A few cases where it is used in against Caucasians does not qualify you say "me too".

    McMasters is a very well known, but there are many others.

    I'm sorry, but this is pointless. You keep trying to point to the exception where the rule is much more predominant. I'm not here to defend people picking nits. If you are incapable of empathizing with a race of people who has been systematically oppressed for 400 years and who is to this day still systematically oppressed (even if it subtle) you will never to be able to. All I know is I have friends (read multiple) that are in fear of their life whenever they see a cop because of their direct experiences with them. I even had the best man at my wedding, who became a cop, become racist due to his experiences in his surrounding to the point where his 21 year old daughter is now embarrassed by him.

    Yes these are all anecdotal, but they are not singular. They show as real life examples to me what the rest of the black community nationwide is saying.

    They all can't be wrong.

    Your position is absurd. What you’re talking about and what you seem to have SUCH a disdain for is individualized racism towards blacks by specific people. All while you sit here and justify government sponsored institutionalized explicit racism against whites.

    You want to talk about how officer so and so was racist towards a black guy. While the government pays businesses to hire black contractors but not white ones.

    Furthermore I LOVE how you just casually say that your friends are terrified of being pulled over by the police cause they might die. An instance which has occurred ~1000 times since 2015. The VAST majority of whom were demonstrably resisting arrest.

    Whereas black males (6% of our population) commits 50% of the total murder and 30% of the total rape. Resulting in ~45,000 people dead since 2015. But if I say I don’t want to be around a group of black people because of their proclivity to commit violence, somehow I’m a bigot.

    Oh, no I'm not. First, there is no "government sponsored institutionalized explicit racism against whites". Whites control the government.

    Second, if I had my way, There would be NO government at all.

    So tell me, how you I condone anything by any government if I think they should not exist in any way, shape or form.

    Wow, that screed is right out of the KKK handbook. You do understand that not only to they disproportionately commit those crime to mentioned, they are also disproportionately poor, uneducated and oh yeah...SUBJECT TO A DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF OPPRESSION FOR THE LAST 400 YEARS and they are still subject to it to this day.Do you have any idea how this traumatizes a culture?

    I felt like that I needed to raise my voice regarding the last part, because you seem to skim past it conveniently. Do you have any idea what it would be like to be a member of a culture of people that has been subject to this? Sure, whites are no longer whipping them in the field as they pick cotton on plantations but the plantation mentality still exists to this day, as evidenced by your posts.
