Racism in America

Everything written by this member is a fact.
I'm not saying there isn't racism here. There is, and most of it is subtle. But...

Have you ever noticed that the incidents that the mass media glom onto and trot out as despicable usually get debunked.

2 recent examples.

Yeah Emmit Till is recent lmao idiot. 340 million people in this country and yet not one person of color calls out Louis Farrakhan who is no better than Hitler. SPLC - silent. NAACP - silent. Democrats? Hey the elect his supporters. Cries of racism from racists are silent.

And al sharpton and jesse jackson have made careers out of race baiting and the media's support of them.

This should be a fun discussion. Jussie isn’t a left wing hoax. It’s a single actor committing a crime for some as yet unexplained, but likely malign reason. He should be arrested and tried if the current state of facts is as they appear to be. As far as I’ve seen, the librul media is crucifying him for it. Trevor Noah ripped him a new one last night.

If your reaction is “but they shouted racism when he first made his claims” tell me you immediately were skeptical. Sadly, his claims of gay or racial abuse were not all that spectacular. The fake noose and bleach now look to be telltale signs of a fraud but early on less likely to be suspect.

His claims were wholeheartedly covered and pushed by the media, no questions asked which elevate his claims and their coverage of them to a hoax.

Wasn’t there a recent case of a white woman in Boston that claimed she was carjacked by a gang of black kids, this shit goes both ways you idiots, our very own president DJT took out full page ads to go after those innocent kids that were accused in the Central Park Jogger case the very equivalent of Al Sharptons bullshit in the Tawana Bradley, neither side has a monopoly on bad actors. Damn what selective, short term memories y’all have.

The left and their complicit media wing thrive for and seek out fake racism and stoking tempers based on identity politics in order to erode and divide this nation. Couldn't be more obvious.

At this point they really don't even need to bother with whittling their field of fuckhead nominees down or bother debating Trump for 2020. They're handing him the reelection on a big ol' fat platter and they're too fucking retarded to even realize it lol

Fair media coverage

Now where’s the rest of that list of things left/right/moderates will never agree on? I think the one thing all groups can agree on is that they alone speak the truth and everyone else are hypocrites.

Flagooner, you made this thread with the racist notion that if you can try to cast doubt on some alleged hate crimes that you can lessen or nullify the credibility and veracity of actual hate crime reports, thus making yourself feel that its okay to be racist and smearing those who object to racism.

@25.
I'm not claiming it's one-way or that racism doesn't exist.
My point is that the media is so desperate to stoke the fires that they jump at every opportunity without first doing the due dilligence.

The majority of actual racist incidents are not the "sexy" stories. By leaping at these high profile fake cases, the legitimate cases get even further diminished due to the perceived lack of credibility.

Think the boy who cried wolf.

@Iceydickhead
Not at all. I'm saying that before the media jumps all over something they need to verify the story or they end up hurting their own cause.

Just because the boy cried wolf doesn't mean their isn't a wolf out there, but it becomes less believable.

You're a racist and think being passive aggressive about pushing your bigoted views makes you clever.

What view am I pushing?
All I'm saying is that the media is being irresponsible.

Racism certainly exists, but not in the way that the media tries hard to portray.

Stupid post Icey and tyour ignorant attitude is why cries of racism get the same treatment as if they have been made by the boy who cried Wolf. 25 I agree that it is an issue, not just here, but everywhere on earth wjhere people live. Racism and all other isms are a human being issue. having said that since one side is pointed out ad infinitum by the liberal press here, I choose to focus on the ones they ignore like that lying Indian criminal banging a drum and suypporting the black israelites attacking teens with racist and gay slurs. Fucking disgrace that a guy who lied about his Viet Nam service and has a criminal record is automatically the good guy to liberals while the 16 year olds are bad people automatically. Actual het crime reports lol. Ask Jussie. Ask the Duke Lacrosse players. By the way simpleton when an idiot such as yourself calls people out on racism we laughh and then ignore everything you say.

It’s estimated that there are 10,000 to 20,000 neo nazis in America. There are 100 million Trump supporters most of whom are decent, hard working people.

Every time a hate crime occurs, whether fake or real, the media labels the perpetrators as Trump supporters, implying that every Trump supporter is racist. That is fake news. It is also one reason that Trump’s supporters are so loyal to him and trust nothing the media says.

The number of killings by police of unarmed black men does seem somewhat on decline.

I'm more concerned about institutional racism than some inbred dumbfucks being racist assholes.

Overt racism and hate crimes are not even close to approaching the level that the fake news media wants to have you believe. Instituional racism might be more of a problem, but how do you measure or prove it? Often, it's as fake as the Smollet story. Example: Kapernick saying there was collusion in not hiring him at the NFL. Fake. He's old, was never that good, and proved to be more trouble than he was worth. It's mostly bullshit, and just losers playing the race card. White privilege? Cisgender privilege? Made up bullshit by those who cant win on the merit of their arguments or put in the effort necessary to be successful.

Kaepernick? Have you never watched a football game? At least pick an example you can defend. He's not old (31). The numbers say he was good (link below). 16 tds and 4 picks in a partial season on a terrible 49ers team. Collusion? The NFL just agreed this week to pay him to settle and there's talk of giving him a contract now. Awful example.

Stating that racism exists elsewhere is completely irrelevant, immaterial and mis-states the evidence. We're dealing with racism in the US. The fact that racism exists in Australia doesn't change that fact nor does it normalize and or legitimate said racism.

And as James stated the real problem is institutional racism.

America is not a historical nation or an ethnicity. It is a political project. It can only work if it works for everyone.

The Trump phenomenon shows that there are people who are completely alienated and misinformed. This will never work.

If Trump doesn’t want his supporters connected with neo-nazis and they are such a small group, why does he dance around it so much? Why not outright denounce them?

- I don’t know who David Duke is. (He does.)
-He’s the leader of the KKK. Do you denounce him and his support?
-I don’t know who he is.

Charlottesville - there are very fine people on both sides.

Jimmy and 25,

Quite a bit of time has passed, but since you brought it up let's look back to Charlottesville. This is what NPR, hardly a bastion of conservatism, reported that President Trump said. The quotes that drew all the attention.

1) "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides," Trump said.
OK, do you think "egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence: is one sided? If you do, you are a part of the problem!


2) "Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans," Trump said.
OK, do you think " criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups" are one sided? If you do, you are a part of the problem!

3) "You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides," Trump said.
OK, Do you think that of everyone, on one side there, included no "very fine people"? If you do, you are a part of the problem!

Personally I don't think you are the above, rather just caught up in the often times out of control rhetoric from many sources.

^ I didn’t bring it up all I did was correct something mark94 said, the rest is water under the bridge, but if you like arguing so much let me remind you it took a week for Trump to get it right. Other than that I still don’t like Trump, never did, never will.

I’m not going to research it, but my guess is that quotes 1and 2 came from his TelePrompTer speech a day or two later after he got condemned for his initial reaction, which was quote 3. And I do have an issue with quote 3. Nobody who attends a white supremacist march to demonstrate for the rights of white supremacists, carrying tiki torches and yelling anti Semitic slurs is a very fine person. Not one.
