George Floyd Protest/Riots

[37L1]

Boooo politicians........they serve no purpose, we need an accounting firm to run the budget, and nobody in D.C., we have our laws, on the books, and we can have the brightest minds in the military handle foreign policy.

Seriously, we don't need any of them any more. State and local remain the same, but, federal, no more. These pudwhackers aren't needed anymore.

So should they be defunded and disbanded?

That seems to be the "solution" for these sort of things now. What could possibly happen?

 

[37L1]

Good question. Revenge box wrapped in punishment paper, maybe.

Justice can also be crime prevention, being locked up prevents any more civilian victims.

Older people can't take even a slight shove. They don't have the balance younger people do. This was a very stupid thing to do to an elderly person. This hurts my soul.

Young people don't care about old people until they become one.

No, it’s the mindset of trying to whitewash history by minimizing what happened to Black people. It’s lazy and disgusting.

No one has minimized that, but people act like slavery was abolished 10 years ago. Fact is you and your fellow sheep are being used as a useful idiots to push a marxist agenda.

That is a sweeping generalization. Most "young" people have "old" relatives that they care a lot about.

Yeah I’m not sure we need input from Obama right now

Somehow you are leaving out the whole picture regarding lynching. It is designed to deliver a message. A reprehensible message. A message about race and division.

There has been a lot of bad stuff that has happened in the last 200 years to all kinds of people. I wouldn't think that lynching would be a major worry in today's world, but if people want to live in the past and worry about stuff that they can't change...…...………….........…...

Good way of articulating it

You still haven’t defined what “Marxist” is. I know you probably overheard it on OANN and thought “oh boy, this will be a good word to use and own those libz”.

I do apologize. For being told how much of a snowflake we are, you guys sure like to cry about white people persecution as if it even remotely compares to what happened to Black people.

Watch your local news.

There has been all kinds of disrespect on this forum toward boomers. This guy is a boomer.

 

[1972 Grad]

Now this is some pure, Grade A crap. The amount of straw men presented in this post is amazing.

Want to argue the facts.....you know the numbers?

This is just wow. What's next get rid of dump trucks so kids don't think about work?

Cant wait for the Democrat Urban Chaos Lego® set! Kids will be able to set up their own demostrations, burn down buildings, loot stores, and have gun fights in the street.

Dude. In the context of this country’s history, it most certainly is racist. To try and tippy toe around that is disingenuous. It was absolutely meant to convey one message and one message only.

Well, here's the dilemma. K town describes it as a universal truth. Which it isnt. Therefore his characterization is flawed.
You nuance the characterization by moving the boundary to "in this country". I will gladly acknowledge there are truths we live that other countries do not. But is it always true, here?.
Here's what we need to reconcile for your position to hold truth; if a black citizen hung a black politician in effigy is it 100% a racist message. Are black citizens incapable of making a political message with it?

Lol

 

[happy-go_vol]

What? So social justice doesn't encompass the concept of police brutality? Is that your thesis here?

Nope, you're act as if 100 hundreds of blacks are being killed daily by police. Your false narrative is a ignorant.

Nope no guns. Guns are bad and hurt people. The weapons will be bricks and frozen water bottles

It's symbolism can't be ignored.

You don't know the pain, fear and hate that is generated by that symbolic act. I knew someone who had a relative lynched. He cried when he told me about it and also said that he never thought he could ever have a white friend.

I'm still saddened by the memory of that conversation.

Straw man? No. I would say its more like pointing out who your worst enemy is. Like most people, its often themselves.

They have to live in the past, it keeps the lie going

Lol

Want to argue the fact that the man is a boomer, and that boomers haven't been demonized on this forum......you know the facts of my post? You are just a little man who worries about feelz, not facts.

*spends decades dismissing everyone under 30 as entitled, ruining America, participation trophies, etc.*
*hears "OK Boomer" once*

Says the guy getting sensitive over how boomers are treated. Lol. Boomers don’t get demonized. They get called out for their ********. Big difference.

He was an idiot then.
