    No quotes, no references... and no idea why I should care what Gayl King says..... or if she's "suddenly a white supremacist". But it's not bemoaning rioters what makes somebody a white supremacist. It's many other things that hint that somebody is a racist. Like assuming that all rioters are black, for example. Or assuming, as Fox and it's wingnut echo-chamber is trying to convince their audience of, that protesters are rioters.

    So you are unaware of the riots happening? When people riot, guess what word is used to describe them?

    You dump your fixation on skin color and see PEOPLE rather than colors.

    Leftist Rioters Try to Divide Us, but a Poll About George Floyd’s Killer Says It’s Not Working.

    The organized Left has used the cover of the Floyd police killing to riot, burn down churches, loot stores, shoot cops and pillage private property. It’s done on purpose to divide the country, gain power, and try to defeat President Trump at the ballot box. It’s purposeful intimidation.

    They say as much in their own flyers they post before and after their planned riots. This has been going on for years. This flyer is from a protest and riot in 2018, but similar flyers have been seen around the White House and Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C., with the ominous words of the Left, “by any means necessary” or BAMN.

    [​IMG]

    Americans Want to Punish Officer
    An overwhelming 78% of the people questioned on Thursday and Friday of last week say the cops should be arrested for a crime.

    The racial angle is an angle pushed by the Left, that wants violent revolution brought on by race war. This has been a meme since the Charles Manson era.

    This "White Privilege" crap is as racist as everything else in their tool chest.

    You have been so absorbed in the wingnut echo chamber that you don't know the difference between rioters and protesters. Which is exactly my point. And which you have now made.

    By definition, protesters simply go to protest something without violence. Rioters just want to provoke violence. So with that in mind, could you please look at this video and tell me which are the rioters and which the protesters?

    Well... I give you that it is pretty obvious that the rioters are the ones dressed in blue.

    Why do I have to share my hard earned stuff with you? What did I ever do to you? Why should I like it? Would you like it if I came to you and made you share your stuff with me?

    That's not true, Moriah. The majority of whites just want equality. It's what they've wanted since the 1960's.

    That poster is hilarious. These freaking snowflakes wouldn't last a week, if they actually got what they're asking for.

    There is nothing so utterly and completely fake, as the cafe socialist.

    So it was wrong for white people years ago to discriminate against African Americans. So now we have to discriminate against white people who had nothing to do with it today in order to fix the discrimination against blacks in the past?

    This is a vast exaggeration. Original Communism with Leon Trotsky was not Totalitarian.

    Stalinism did have excesses -- and about 4 million people died in Stalin's Penal System. Yet Stalin's USSR defeated the Nazis. Thank G-d, the World was saved from Nazism.

    I think you forgot a few.

    The victims include 200,000 killed during the Red Terror (1918-22); 11 million dead from famine and dekulakization; 700,000 executed during the Great Terror (1937-38); 400,000 more executed between 1929 and 1953; 1.6 million dead during forced population transfers; and a minimum 2.7 million dead in the Gulag, labor colonies and special settlements.

    1) Famine -- it was not artificial. It was a tragedy.
    2) Gulag -- 1.6 million died
    3) Resettlement -- 1.3 million died.

    Of course Stalin's Rule had problems. Trotsky was a better alternative.

    Nevertheless, with G-d's help, Stalin's USSR defeated Nazi Germany -- a global disaster was averted.

    Yeah taking people’s food away from them usually results in tragedy.

    Stalin and the USSR were cowards. They were more than content to sit in their country and let Hitler run amok. Russia didn’t beat Hitler, America did. All Hitler had to do was wall of Europe and starve Britain out. He could then turn his full might at Russia and bide his time until conditions were favorable for his invasion. All because Russia refused to advance earlier because they were cowards.

    But he couldn’t do that because the heroes of wwII were the Americans who forced Hitler to keep more than a 1/3 of his army in defense of Europe and was forced to attack Britain prematurely when he would have just starved them out.

    When I say share I mean share the college spots, the jobs, the nice neighbors.

    :roflol::roflol::roflol:I am an older African-American woman born and raised in the USA.
    I don't believe the majority of Whites want equality. I believe one of the reasons Trump got so many votes is because of xenophobia.

    I have a White high school friend who married an African-American guy. They had 3 kids; one daughter and three sons. She says she never realized how bad the racism against African-Americans was until she experienced it thru her husband and kids.

    Yes. How else can the past be fixed? The discrimination was in place for hundreds of years. It is not going to be fixed overnight.

    I meant to say nice neighborhoods, not neighbors.

    I am neither Russian nor American. Of all mortal humans, Russia did most to defeat Nazi Germany and save Humankind from Nazis. Russia inflicted 80% of military losses on Germany. This is a great merit of Russia -- Numbers 24:9. Russia earned a blessing for saving Jews.

    I thought you earned college spots, why should I share my job with you and I have a black neighbor. BTW I had lunch with a black engineer at a major auto manufacturer yesterday. If blacks want nice neighbors and neighborhoods then they should MAKE THEM, why do you expect them to just be somehow handed over, shared, with them. Clean up your neighborhoods and help the police get rid of the crime and the criminals that permeates them. Imagine how nice those neighborhoods are going to be after they are burnt down now.

    Two fish were swimming in the ocean. A third fish swam past them and asked, "How is the water today?" The first two fish continued to swim in silence for awhile. Finally, the first fish asked the second fish, "What is water?"

    What water is to fish, privilege is to Whites. It is so much a part of your everyday life till you don't even notice it. So, when someone mentions it, you're like "What privilege?"

    Incorrect, its a fine analogy that no doubt convinces the uneducated. But the reality is there is no attributable privilege to white people. You couldn't even begin to justify it in a rational manner.

    So yes, in a bubble that would likely get you all kinds of cheers. In reality, its just nonsense.

    There is no such thing as white privilege.

    AND IF there was such a thing as white privilege then I would suggest that if it offends you that you get over it.
