The postmodern twist is "Cultural Marxist". Instead of the proletariat against the bourgeois, it's a fight of "oppressed races" against a "supremacist race" (particular focus right now on black and LGBTQ). The core is Marxist in wanting to raze anything resembling capitalism and "revision" a new society built on Socialist/Marxist ideals. Failed world history with a post-Enlightenment and postmodern flair. This has been being taught on college campuses since the 1990's, mainly in new Sociology departments. Grievance Studies. Professors in other departments thought these college kids who were reeking havoc on campuses with protests, boycotts, and speech-silencing actions would grow out of the ideology when they graduated and moved on to the real world. Well, they've graduated. Didn't "outgrow" it. Search U.S. Campus Marxists. Also, mix in Critical Theory from the Frankfurt School. There are a lot of articles about it.
Yes you can. 80% of black live above the poverty level. There are 20% living in poverty which is double the rate of any other race. Within that 20%, there are only a relatively few gang members, drug and prostitute dealers and others making a living with cash under the table and shooting anyone who gets on their turf. So it is a small percentage of blacks committing a heck of a lot of crime. Decent people living in the inner-cities do not talk to police or volunteer to testify against these murderous young gang members. Laws do not offer police security or protection to people who help police as eye-witnesses. They get murdered before they ever get to court to testify. They're intimidated into silence. The mob ganstas rule and ensure it isn't safe to rat anyone out to the police.
A guy who was a self-described College Marxist, but has moved right to being "just a Socialist" now (lol), got fired by the Cancel Culture for Tweeting the fact that people were favoring the Democratic candidate in 1968 while the protests were peaceful. As soon as violent riots broke out due to MLK Jr.s assassination, swing states moved just enough to the right to elect Republican Richard Nixon. The more things change, the more they stay the same. History may repeat itself in November.
So now there are going to be four hundred years of whining and crying and looting and burning and mugging and murder in retaliation? Sweet!
So it was YOUR ancestor who lobbed cannon rounds at my father-in-law's great-great grandfather while the poor guy was outside just trying to feed his chickens!
"When you find no law, you make your own." "I just don't think I'm gonna be apologizin' for wearin' this."
Woah! It was Obama's America for eight years worth of identical bouts of race-based violence and rioting and looting and muggings and murderings but no leftist EVER blamed endlessly race-agitating Barack Obama for ANY of it . . . even as he did his very best -- along with the help of the DNC and leftist loyal media outlets -- to kick off a genuine race war.
Pssst . . . today BLM said that THEY will continue rioting inside Chicago until the CPD is shut down. Ooops!
With each and every one of these DNC approved BLM sponsored orgies of violence inside Dem controlled cities, Donald Trump gains countless new voters ANGRY at the Dem Party's 'leadership' and violent radical leftists.
Yup and Im not happy about it. The sheer scale of that horror is something I never want to see repeated. So when these marxist agitators get aggressive-its troubling. That said a modern conflict would not look the same as the war between the states.
I think that should be Dem Party leadership COLLUDING with violent and marxist led BLM for strictly poitical reasons and at the expense of city after city and their citizens.
I am a hypothetical business owner looking to open up shop soon. Someone explain to me the benefits of choosing to open up my establishment in one of these types of places? No businesses, no jobs, no jobs no money, no money = poverty, poverty tends to equal more crime. And the cycle continues. Does nobody seem to understand that concept? I'm not going to open up my business in a place that loots and riots for ANY reason, justified or not. Lack of decent jobs has been a problem for largely black communities for decades and one of the leading causes of the situation so many of these communities have found themselves in coupled with lack of family structure. I've seen it with my own eyes in my own home town, multiple businesses opened up on the southside of MLK blvd (the black community, why is it always MLK blvd?). Low and behold a few years later damn near every single one of those businesses closed down even the fast food franchise joints. Why? Because of the looting. Yes it was the looting, my friends worked at the Burger King there and had absolutely zero issue with showing up to a BBQ with boxes full of burgers that they were proud of the fact that they stole by the box load on a routine basis. The place was opened for about 2 years. This was decades ago and it's STILL not open again and to this day there is not a SINGLE franchise ANYTHING south of the intersection of the highway and MLK blvd in my home town. NOBODY is willing to invest in that neighborhood. I keep hearing all this about opportunity, give us opportunity and we will thrive. Yeah well what business owner in their right mind is going to invest in a community like that? I sure as hell won't. I don't blame that entire part of my home town for closing up shop decades ago. Screw that crap, why the hell should someone keep a business open there and just accept being robbed every day? Best thing for these communities to do is drive these knuckleheads out of their communities. It's not all black folks, it's not even most black folks, it's the loud stupid minority of black low life thugs in these places that are out there running amok. I saw in the video others urinating and tossing things at these rioters. Good, stand against them and take your community back. That or move and go somewhere else. It's NEVER going to get any better as long as these communities allow the low life trash of society to run amok unchecked. If you want a community to thrive then you need money and you need investors. Sitting there with your hands out begging the state and local governments is only going to help so much which is very little which is why these places forever remain largely impoverished with projects housing and run down infrastructure. For real prosperity you need private investors willing to invest in your community and NOBODY is going to do that as long as the local trash is allowed to roam free and do this sort of thing all the time. Good luck.
No, she was angry about what happened to her "boyfriend", and people say that she scorched the Wendys. I use the term boyfriend loosely.
One notices that he never blamed Obama for all those years of presidential race-agitating and the seemingly endless burning of Dem Party cities for two terms. Gasp! It's as if there is a double standard!
Yup and she didn't show up at the funeral where his black girlfriend was. And right down the street, a BLM "checkpoint" killed a little black girl when the mom tried to turn around.
There are parts of LA that still haven't recovered from the Rodney King riots. Now the locals complain there aren't any grocery stores or banks there, just liquor stores and cash checked places. And the thinkers at city hall developed a solution-rename it from south central LA to south LA.
So what do they have to do with how Good, God fearin, whites treated black folks in America? And come on.. "acting a fool"? Seriously? Folks got on social media to have a pop up looting session, burn stuff, and otherwise create chaos in Chicago. At least two folks were shot, and many more shot at the police in several encounters. This isn't justifiable in any way, so why would you?[/QUOTE] So what % of black folks would you say were actually shooting at the police? What % of black folks would you say are burning stuff and creating chaos? Where in the hell did I try to justify this behavior?
