That's racist!

[BigOrangeTrain]

"Black people aren't allowed to complain about anything cuz black-on-black crime," like every white conservative ever

Wow. So you are one of those who believe black-on-black crime isnt really an issue. Its much more white-on-black crime right?

 

[NashVol11]

Don't many "leaders" in the hyper - melanin community say the same thing?

If you consider Sheriff David Clarke a "leader," then maybe

It can be an issue without being the only thing black people are allowed to talk about. The conversation that starts, "Hey black people, here's what is and isn't allowed to upset you" has some laughably obvious problems in it

If you consider Sheriff David Clarke a "leader," then maybe

"Disagrees with my world view? Must mean he's an Uncle Tom! Not my sheriff!"

I'm talking about Jesse and Al just to name a couple. I don't consider them leaders but others do.

How about some sense of proportionality? If we're talking about a body count, why not start big and work our way to the smaller problems? Not fun enough? Can't blame enough white devils? What is it?

 

[Carl Pickens]

So is Nashvol making the Uncle Tom argument?

With slightly more political correctness.

White supremacists are powerless and mostly ignored until lately. Everyone but their own members find them ignorant and repulsive.

"Hey black people, here's how you should frame the issue and where you should start. I know you didn't ask for my opinion, but I don't think you can think about this correctly without my input, so I'm giving it to you anyway."

 

[NashVol11]

"Disagrees with my world view? Must mean he's an Uncle Tom! Not my sheriff!"

"He's black and he agrees with me? Must be a leader!"

That's exactly what a secret white supremacist would say.

Logic doesn't care about your or my race. Choose to be illogical all you would like so long as it aligns you perfectly with the screeching loons who like to point fingers outward, but never like to internalize.

 

[SamRebel35]

"He's black and he agrees with me? Must be a leader!"

All hail King Strawman!

I've only seen him a couple of times as I normally don't watch tv news. Do you mind sharing what particular views he has that you don't agree with?

 

[NashVol11]

When your logic rests on the assumption that black people can't focus on multiple issues at the same time, it's terrible logic.

 

[McDad]

I can understand not liking or agreeing with Barkley's opinion. But if he is saying the same thing likeable leaders are espousing and you don't like it, I don't understand that.

 

[NashVol11]

All hail King Strawman!

There's nothing strawman about it. No one considers him a "leader" of the black community other than conservatives who drag him on TV to say, "Look, a black person agrees with me!"

To "lead" a community, that community has to lend some weight to your opinion, no?

IMO, people should take care of theirselves first before worrying about other issues....it's ridiculous to be worrying about statues and things of that nature with the issues facing many black communities.

Both leaders you mentioned want the statues removed

 

[SamRebel35]

I've assumed no such thing. Proportionality is key. Only so many waking hours in a day. Use them wisely. Blaming white devils isn't a logical allocation of your time and effort if you really actually believe that black lives are worth saving. Body count.

"Hey black people, you will accept whatever treatment we give you until you have fixed your own issues. Then you can complain."

"Who decides when we've fixed our issues and can speak up?"

"Well, we do, of course. We'll let you know when you're allowed to speak."

So you are the all seeing eye? Able to discern the pulse of an entire group of people without actually speaking with every single one? Didn't realize I was conversing with a God amongst mortals.

 

[McDad]

Sorry. Didn't realize this was only about statues. Thought this was also about your assessment of Barkley.

You've apparently assumed that you know how many "waking hours" the 40 million black people in this country have collectively devoted to each issue
