You could throw a mace, but it certainly wouldn’t be the most effective way to use it.

In some cases it’s acceptable to be prejudice. If you are walking down the street and in the same side is a group of white males with skin heads and Nazi tattoos but on the other side is a group old white ladies, will you cross the street? Of course you would.
The difference is most white people dont look, act and dress like Nazis. I’m not saying all black men look, act and dress like criminals but a good portion of inner city males do. It takes time for there to be a difference. It’s happening but it takes time.
You should probably not use racist examples to disprove your racism.
Which you just proved. Congrats, racist.
“Black people dress a way that makes me judge them. When you compare white people for extremely different reasons I arrive at a different conclusion tho” is racist as ****.
The right spent 8 years under Obama crying about his tyranny and defending every white person's right to own 37 AR15s because of their inherent fear of the government and what it might do it's own people.
But when the military police come out. The National guard is called. The cops start running over citizens. Start cracking down on assembly and protest and free speech. Start bringing out the tanks and the predator drones. Start pepper spraying politicians and reporters. Start shooting runner bullets at people on their porches. Start infiltrating protests and instigating unrest. Start living our their LARP fantasies of fighting in Mogadishu or some ****...
...it's crickets. Because it's not the protected class it's happening to. It's not the average Republican voter. Or the rich, powerful and protected.
Our cops have an infinite amount of resources and weapons of war yet so many people, schools, communities have so little. In Democratic cities like NYC and LA leaders have put on a progressive mask while cutting spending everywhere...except to police. Police they continue to use to crack down and harass the poor and fill their prisons up. All the while selling everything out to private capital. There are unlimited bullets, tear gas and vans for cops but everyone needs to start a go fund me if they **** up and get cancer, schools in those cities continue to fall behind and living in those cities is entirely unaffordable. Libs like 50% get it but that's still a far way off. So much of this is the fault of Democratic leadership. Figuratively, Republicans are the ones kneeling on the necks of these people but Liberals are the ones standing and watching.
But back to the conservatives who once claimed to be so scared of the government and tyranny that you'd think they'd lose sleep over it. The President threatens to violently unleash the military on its own people and there's few cares in the world suddenly. Who would've guessed. Now people just need to be careful and do what the police and government says. Who ever would be guessed? :laugh:
Because las always, there are and have always been two sets of rules...throughout the history of this country. The law must bind the out groups and protect the in groups. That is conservatism. That is their true political philosophy. Nothing is more foundational than that.
America sure is great again! My God. And at the risk of being called emo (?????) by some right wing troll, I'll say it again: this is the most politically important and trying time in a very very long time and I can't help but think there's no real way out of it. Not with the Pelosi/Biden/Schumer/Garcetti leadership of the world. And certainly not with some Republican. Capital > people. All of them believe it as much as the next. All of them.
Looking back at the first posts and I'm just amazed by Sluggo saying "he should be arrested" a million times like we'd give him a pat on the back for saying a man who killed another man deserved to merely be fired.
I think he thought he was getting some good will, even if he was clearly trying to find ways to slightly justify it, by taking the bold stance of "he should be fired".
It says a lot :shrug: Why are cops held to such low standards by so many people? He saw that video and concluded justice was getting fired.
Demand more accountability perhaps? It's so little to ask for but so hard to get.
:sigh:
sorry, but your definition of conservatism....is not conservatism, it's those in power applying their power. our country has allowed too few ppl have far too much power...
and please explain how the right 'cried about Obama's tyranny'
I am a 60+ white Christian and there are SO many things many on the left assume to be true of 'the right', like we're all the same. from my end, I grew up and live again in an area with very few blacks, but many natives...but spent large chunks of my life in bigger cities. talked to a black friend of mine out west last night and he is highly disappointed with the chaos going on
now I just heard a protester in NYC say 'there are no good cops until there are no bad cops'.....well there is good and bad in every single group, so that will never happen.....treating ALL law officers like they're. the enemy will result in anarchy
I'm sure stealing that TV from target and burning down that innocent persons business will make it all better.
Associating things that are unique to skin head culture (white power tats for example) with skin heads is different then associating things that part of black culture with criminal culture. One is racist. Your basically saying I’m not racist im just scared of black people on sight most of the time
If your driving in your car listening to Johnny Cash is it appropriate for everyone to assume you are a racist redneck? Many racists follow white Southern culture after all.

they were protesting taking a knee when they shouldn't have been using that time to protest.

rioting is not peacefully protesting.Quote:
There is no constitutional right to take a knee while you're at work
there are millions of people from both sides that want justice for George Floyd. his own girlfriend doesn't want rioting.
you had this post..
this is ********.
there are actually rules for protesting for anyone regardless of race. I support legal protesting, not rioting.
SiteWolf was absolutely right here.
including white is what too many people do, as if anyone that supports the AR-15 (or MAGA) must be white racist people. it's ignorance. I question whether this is what you really believe, or what you have been told to believe by people that have an agenda.
Antifa is involved, in this chaos, and it should be surprising to nobody.
it's good (should continue) for Black Lives Matter to call out Antifa.

Attorney General Barr blames 'far-left extremist groups' for violent protests
"In many places it appears the violence is planned, organized and driven by anarchic and far-left extremist groups using Antifa-like tactics," Barr said.
Most people do this though and not particularly with black people. Racism is different than prejudice. Racism is always bad. Racism is believing a minority can’t possibly be a good dr, lawyer, teacher, accountant, etc. Prejudice is our brain deciphering if a situation can be potentially dangerous. I’m Italian. I grew up around typical Italians. The types you see in mafia movies. When Italians look, dress and act a certain way, people typically associate them with the mob. Some of my family were mobsters. Some just dressed the part. They were all looked at the same way. My uncle was an accountant. You would think he just walked off The Godfather movie.
It’s no different with black people. When black people look, dress, and act like gang members, we unconsciously view them as dangerous. This is not racism. This is prejudice. This also passes with time.
LOLOLOL. It is the old, "if they didn't look like they do" rationalization. Use in rape and justified shooting case. "Just look at them, they were asking for it" "Who wouldn't assume they were a thug."
My mother was an english teacher, I have that disease too. When "myriad" showed up on my vocabulary list in middle school another kid, when they used it in a sentence, said "a myriad crayons" and the teacher corrected them and said "it's the same part of speech as 'many', it's just 'myriad crayons', not 'a myriad'", I replied that "myriad was literally used for 10000 soldiers, so if you meant a group of 10000 'a myriad' is correct". I was sent to the principals office. I never learned not to correct teachers either.
Sorry for the lengthy post ahead of time. Sorry wasting my time on a troll.
But...
As I said, you are lying. You did not support the times they peacefully protested. Not in this thread i just dug through and not in the others.
It doesn't matter if it's peaceful or not you will not tolerate it. That is a fact. Kaep tried and you all lost your mind over it. Hundreds of posts saying it had to stop and they were protesting in the wrong ways. You, like so many, refused to listen to him and tried to distort it into a protest that it was not. For as long as we've been around these protests have happened and they've always been condemned and ultimately dismissed. Little has changed and people are still mad. When the peaceful ones fail...what do you expect? Especially when they are constantly told that their anger, experiences and plight does not matter. Even when they are truly passive and peaceful?
Anyways. The lies. You'll never accept their protests as legitimate. Well, at the very least you never have. You dont want them to protest peacefully, you want them to shut the **** up.
Hmm....
You made many posts about how they shouldn't protest because it bothers people and people might not know what they're protesting. Truly some of the most insane "logic" I've ever heard. But sure, you always support peaceful protests :laugh:
"These people didn't protest how I want them to." Lol. All protesters must protest how I, someone who doesn't want them protesting, want them to protest."
Amazing.
But yes. You definitely supported the nonviolent protesting. Sure...
Again.
I'm losing brain cells. Also, you're still lying in the post in question.
LMAO what the hell does a non-divisive protest look like haha. My god dude.
People really need to consult you and your protest rule book before they do anything.
Other threads out there with hundreds of posts where you clearly do not support the protest.
Do you still think he wasn't actually protesting police brutality and was instead protesting the flag (again, a symbol not a real thing)? A straight answer would be nice.
And again with the "people are too stupid to understand what he's protesting so he shouldn't. Brain [i]genious[i] stuff
NFL players should protest by....not protesting.
So yeah, when I say:
Why? Because it's true. You've done it. The peaceful protests were unacceptable for all sorts of truly insane reasons that you came up with.Quote:
More rules. Just ****ing say it: it's never OK for black people to protest. In anyway. You'll always find some dumb rule.
So yeah. All I ask is that you save the song and dance and just say what's really on your mind. Pretend this is 8chan and no one will care about what's truly on your mind. Spare us the hypocrisy for once.
Why do you lock your car when you’re not with it? Thinking someone is going to steal it is prejudice if you are in a predominantly black neighborhood.
No dude. You’re old. If I saw a group of 20 y/o black guys that look like thugs/criminals around my car, yes the doors are getting locked. If I saw a group of 20 y/o bikers around my car, doors are getting locked.
Lastly, Black Lives Matter.
Hope you all enjoy your day.
They've even gone into medical tents and shot rubber bullets:

I'm sorry I see this thread and it's hard to juxtapose at the same time some of these officers police chiefs are the ones having productive conversations with protesters. Someone along the line of communication is giving bad orders.
