Nobu Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 Indeed. I'm strongly opposed to reparations because I don't think that's a rabbit hole we should be going down, there's no end to it and it forces you to quantify relative suffering. I won the proverbial lottery being born in America at this time in human history and even the poorest among us generally live better than most of the rest of the planet. As horrible as slavery was, their descendants are here and experience unprecedented opportunity.Black Lives Matter is simply a carrier wave, not the message. The real message is not equality of opportunity, or the same rules applying to everyone across the board as it was during the civil rights movement. The message is intersectional identity ideologies espousing group identity over the individual, and different rules for different groups of people based on where they're perceived to be on the hierarchy of systemic oppression. Precisely the opposite of what so many strove to achieve during the civil rights movement. Many don't want to stop the pendulum, they want it to swing the other way and feel entitled to it. It continues to gain popularity because the carrier wave is hard to say no to. There's no room for nuance and people will aggressively cancel and berate you before you can explain yourself. If you don't embrace it, you're just racist. Under this mindset, if you're part of a marginalized group and you commit a crime, it's social justice, reparations, you're entitled to it and anyone who disagrees should check their privileged. Even those who don't condone it look the other way at least. It reminds me of living in the Philippines where airmen were instructed to retreat to the top floor of their home should a break in occur, call the police, and allow the locals to steal what they want. Only if they try and come up the stairs can you take action against the intruder. On the other hand, if a crime is committed by someone who is perceived to be higher on the hierarchy of oppression against someone who is marginalized, then it's automatically a hate crime regardless of the infraction and the state should absolutely crucify them. Jordan Peterson was spot on. It's a culture issue, but that's Voldemort to talk about because if you bring that up, you're again racist. Now, I wouldn't be opposed to the argument that systemic racism in centuries past cultivated the culture. Socioeconomic status does indeed influence things, everything is connected, but the fact remains that if everyone protesting 1. Recognized the inconsistency, hypocrisy, and double standards espoused (ignoring black on black crime for instance)2. Rejected intersectional identity ideologies (you're an individual first, and must be taken as an individual and not a representative of a group arbitrarily defined ad infinitum)3. Took individual responsibility for your own actions4. While our children will almost certainly experience prejudice, even systemic, during their lifetimes, stop teaching them that oppression and victimhood is central to their very being. It's not who they are, at worst it's something done to them. That's a toxic mentality that sets them up for failure and just ensures they can never be absent that mindset, for who would they be without it? It perpetuates it. Everyone who is protesting does that, and you change a culture. You change a culture, you change a generation, and you do that and you change the world. But that's hard, it's a big ship to steer and people prefer the metaphorical student running for class president who just tells them whatever they want to hear and how easy it is. Plenty of good food for thought. The pendulum at equilibrium is where progress can be made. Getting there is the problem, however, as the motivation for change comes when the pendulum is at its apex The presence of an underlying and unresolved social justice question is clearly festering.

I am not sure, it has to be the communist democrats wanting to destroy history so they can control the narrative I guess. However I have heard things like "White Male colonialist oppressors", and White male slave owners, white male privilege, etc. They forget the Tejanos who fought with the Anglos at the Alamo.

Calls to remove 'racist' Gandhi statue in Leicester The online petition accuses the Indian independence campaigner of being "a fascist, racist and sexual predator". Last year, students from Manchester called for a similar statue of Gandhi to be removed because of his "well-documented anti-black racism". You're half black! You're half white!

Jeff Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 NYPD disbands plainclothes anti-crime unitsBy FOX 5 NY StaffPublished 3 hours agoUpdated 2 hours ago NEW YORK - The NYPD is eliminating its Anti-Crime Units on the precinct level and public housing area level, Commissioner Dermot Shea announced on Monday. About 600 officers will be reassigned to the detective bureau, neighborhood policing program, and other units effective immediately. Anti-crime officers typically operate in plainclothes, Shea said, and focus on getting illegal guns off the streets of New York. That has led to those cops being involved in a number of shootings, the commissioner said. He added that the department will continue to fight violent crime and illegal guns through many modern programs and units. "This is 21st-century policing: intelligence, data, ShotSpotter, video, DNA, and building prosecutable cases," Shea said. "It continues to be building these cases—cases on a small number of people that unfortunately still terrorize a part of this city." The commissioner said the elimination of the units at all 77 precincts and a handful of housing units is a "big move" in the culture of policing but an important part of overall reform. "We always struggle with, I believe as police executives, is not keeping crime down—it's keeping crime down and keeping the community working with us," Shea said. "And I think those two things, at times, have been at odds." He added that this is in the realm of "closing one of the last chapters of stop, question, and frisk." In a statement, the union that represents rank-and-file cops questioned the wisdom of the commissioner's move. "Anti-Crime's mission was to protect New Yorkers by proactively preventing crime, especially gun violence. Shooting and murders are both climbing steadily upward, but our city leaders have clearly decided that proactive policing isn't a priority anymore," PBA President Patrick Lynch said. "They chose this strategy. They will have to reckon with the consequences." https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nypd-disbands-plainclothes-anti-crime-units

Just because I dont walk around with a BLM sign should not mean I am a racist. The BLM is triggering dumbed-down knee jerk reactioning. For any individiual to be providing either political or financial to it is a big detrimental force. Looking into Floyd's history, seems like he tried to make a career in sports, but somehow couldn't make it. No father since age 2. Got into trouble with drug possession but no idea if as a usdr or a seller and of which type of drug, maybe various, served some time, but maybe afterwards, turned things around to more positive outlook, but still struggled to find work and had 5 kids by then, comes the virus, lost his job to it, got the police called on him for trying to by cigs with fake money, died from execessive knee back force. While the officer, he has been working in Minniapolis since 2001 and achieved some recognition awards aroun 2009 but maybe his outlook become more negative to life in general after being in the force in that city for so long. BLM is trying to get millions of people behind a movement on the basis of dumbed down "white oppression" when there is no concrete discussion about how the paths that these two lives went down. Why should Floyd have committed his years through to the late 20s in sports without an exit? Washe humble enough to just settle for a job at the grocery store after failing in sports? Was he financial binded to debt from the colleges that he went to? Could the education system be partly seen as a cause? And how many cases or experiences has Chauvin? Maybe he did "just snap"? He still committed the murder in the end so punishment for killing Floyd is still well in place. But there's a whole societal thing going on here that contributed to the tragic end and just racism doesn't seem to have a part in it. It should be a local or state level protest on the local police department that seeks deeper understanding. Not this shallow knee jerking being kicked around nationwide and globally by those that have more interest in political gain than the actual case itself. Edited June 16, 2020 by JasonJ
