This whole deal is messed up. people are loosing their life savings and everything in a night due to some pissed off people buring or destroying everything theyve poored their life into but i understand it to a point.... People are mad and angry and human. People just like animals lash out when they are mad. Take a hurt dog... it doesnt know your helping when it bites you its just hurt and does what seems natural. This is the community of black people now. Facing literally decades of injustice they are hurt and lash out. They hear stories from family about how they were treated and to watch a man get the alleged (not legally proven) injustice that this man got is upsetting. people are naturally reactive creature. I dont agree with how they all go about it but deep down people have to understand how this goes. Turn the tables on your own life. Imagine your brother, son etc watching this play out and how angry you would be. Now enough with politics well at least for today. i missed this site alot and i love the raunchy sex talk and shit but this site has turned into something special in a way. we... most of us... are actually talking about things and thats what needs to happen. love you guys all of you... keep those pussys wet and cocks hard :) it'll get better eventually..... i hope

“ People have to understand how this goes “
Are you saying it’s okay to burn innocent people’s businesses, people of all races and background, and beat them, in the thousands, across the nation, because a bad cop in Minneapolis murdered someone ? Seriously, that’s how I interpret your post. If you aren’t saying this, then a little clarification might be in order.
Incidentally, the cop has already been arrested for his crime and is certainly going to prison.
Now, what should those people who have lost their businesses and livelihood do ? They are hurt. Is it okay for them to lash out ? If they do, should we understand how it goes ?
In civilized society, we prosecute the guilty and hold them accountable for their individual actions. We do not hold groups accountable for actions of an individual belonging to their group. Their lies insanity.

It is in the DNA The United States of America.
It’s never been about left vs right. More like 0.1% of regular ass humans tricking the rest of us into fighting among ourselves while they rob us blind.
Those of you opposing regime change at home better not support Amerikkka s foreign policy
what we need in the United States is not hatred;
what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness;
but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country”

How many other cops stood around and watched, doing nothing.
How many times has this same story played out over and over in the last 4, 10, 20, 50 years?
How many times did this cop abuse people that was ignored because he didn't actually go as far as to kill them, or get caught on video. And how many other officers stood by and watched.
They were protesting peacefully. They were ignored.
“How many times did this cop abuse people that was ignored because he didn't actually go as far as to kill them, or get caught on video. And how many other officers stood by and watched.“
Good questions. I hope the investigation finds the answers. Then, we can seek justice against all the guilty parties, including supervisors and politicians who turned a blind eye to this abuse.
What I don’t want to happen is to skip the investigation and declare all cops dirty and worthy of punishment. That attitude would end in revenge against a group of people, whether guilty or innocent.
There are videos of cops comforting and helping protestors. Should those cops be equally branded racist and evil ? Should they fear violent retribution ?
Now, looting places like Target and burning down your city (BOTH races are doing this btw) is not the way to go, but people are clearly feeling helpless.
Now, watching them burn up and tarnish that United Daughters of the Confederacy building WAS fun to watch, I must say.
It's a broken system that will create broken consequences. All lives won't matter until black lives do too, people are tired of being silent.
MLK knew the right way. He changed the world. He changed the hearts and minds of America.
He duplicated the efforts of Gandhi. His peaceful protests set a billion people free.
Neither of them burned buildings or threatened innocent people.
Several days ago, 100% of the country was moved by the video and open to actions that would prevent future atrocities. BLM had essentially won. Legislation could have been unanimously passed to bring about fairness. The victory was there for the asking.
But, instead, BLM decided to protest knowing that Antifa types would join them, turning it into a riot. Your comment suggests you think this was a smart move. It wasn’t.
There’s an old saying in business. Once you’ve got the sale, stop talking. In this case, once you’ve won over the public, stop protesting.
Now, it’s too late. You wouldn’t take yes for an answer. It will be years before a similar moment comes around.
One can't lump peaceful-protesters and the law-breakers into one, but this has to go both ways - i.e. genuine-protesters should be allowed to protest and have their voices heard and given their space/platform, but this must not be afforded to the looters and law-breakers under the guise that people are upset - a person has a right to be upset, they absolutely don't have the right to hurt others "b/c they are upset" - as far as I'm concerned those that feel they have a right to destroy others' property or even worse assault innocent-people "b/c they are upset", to me those are lowlifes that are used to using violence whenever things don't go their way and now are using this as an excuse/opportunity to act out on their normal violent ways but use Floyd as an excuse - "well I'm mad" is not an excuse to cause mayhem and injure others.
BS. That's an intellectual copout. Tens of thousands of people of color showed the right way to do it all weekend and they were getting all the media coverage they wanted even before the violence erupted. It was only a tiny fraction that behaved like animals and, if anything, that kind of behavior only confirms everything that every bigoted fuck out there wants to believe about people of color.
And what legislation changed because of that? How did that end police brutality against people of color and the poor? How did that get all the racist cops out of office? How did that stop blacks from getting killed by cops?
The radio-host was making the point that per the study, and similar incidents that occur to white persons but does not get the same coverage, that racism is not necessarily the main-culprit when it comes to issues w/ the police, but that there was a higher correlation to the crime-rate in a particular area, and to a lesser extent that when it happens to a white-person it goes away from the public-eye fairly quickly - I believe the study also showed that there were more incidents of black-officers shooting black people due to the fact black-areas often tend to have a higher # of black police officers.
It gets them a damned sight further than Molotov cocktails do. In case you aren't clear about this, the more that colored people loot businesses and set fire to police cars, the more that public sentiment swings against them.
Picking up on Papi's last paragraph..
Most news is driven by the major media and print outlets and they won't tell us the whole story because the whole story doesn't support their agenda.
One of the most notorious “police riots” was at the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
Independent journalist Yasha Levine writes: “During the 1968 protests of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, which drew about 10,000 protesters and was brutally crushed by the police, 1 out of 6 protesters was a federal undercover agent.
That’s right, 1/6th of the total protesting population was made up of spooks drawn from various federal agencies.
That’s roughly 1,600 people! The stat came from an Army document obtained by CBS News in 1978, a full decade after the protest took place.
According to CBS, the infiltrators were not passive observers, monitoring and relaying information to central command, but were involved in violent confrontations with the police.”
And knowing the truth will make it difficult to still believe the lies.
It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few.
Nobody in their right mind would believe that the large fortunes and opulence of Robber Barons, Fat Cats, Capitalist Pigs etc. can be attained just by being an honest hard working person.
That works out to be about 25% of killings were black which is twice their demographic percentage and honestly that’s a hell of a lot of dead overall. What it ain’t is what those that Stalin referred to as “Useful Idiots” want to believe.
But enough of that. What I want to know is are they going to have special hours for senior citizen looting? It’s not fair to have to compete with the young bloods and for Pete’s sake what the hell about social distancing. Damn self-centered punks.
The numbers don’t lie, the majority of rich people have not always acted within the four corners of the law.
For the powerful, crimes are those that others commit.
If someone has the skills/ability/brains/work-ethic to become ultra-successful, that should not be something to demean - in most cases it's mostly jealousy more than anything else (coveting what others have) - I can't stand losers that take the easy way out and are f'ing lazy-fucks and then "blame the system" - if someone worked-hard and spent years going to school and even getting advanced-degrees, they should have a better-life than the person that spent their youth partying or not making the sacrifice of multiple years of college/graduate-school.
For me I see rich people as something to aspire to and to aspire to be, not something that needs to be torn-down/done-away-with and demonized - anyone that does not have the basics in our country 9-times-out-10 has more to do with them than with the "system" - 9 times out of 10 the wealth-gap is seen as "hey that guy has a 10-bedroom mansion while I only have a 2-bedroom apartment - that's not fair" - not saying that there aren't things that can be improved to help the working-class, ,but treating the rich as if they were the devil is pretty-stupid IMO and IMO actually counter-productive (and I say this as someone that grew up lower working class where my family never even owned their own home and we had to fight-and-claw to make a better lives for ourselves but the opportunity was there all we needed to do is work for it to better our situation rather than just sit back and whine that it wasn't fair others had more than we did - growing-up my mom would always tell me if I wanted nice-things that I had to study and work for them; not that it wasn't fair that I didn't have them).
The women were gowned beautifully, I admit; but to my naive surprise I discovered that they were of the same clay as all the rest of the women I had known down below in the cellar.
“The colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady were sisters under their skins”—and gowns.
It was not this, however, so much as their materialism, that shocked me. It is true, these beautifully gowned, beautiful women prattled sweet little ideals and dear little moralities; but in spite of their prattle the dominant key of the life they lived was materialistic.
And they were so sentimentally selfish ! They assisted in all kinds of sweet little charities, and informed one of the fact, while all the time the food they ate and the beautiful clothes they wore were bought out of dividends stained with the blood of child labor, and sweated labor, and of prostitution itself.
When I mentioned such facts, expecting in my innocence that these sisters of Judy O'Grady would at once strip off their blood-dyed silks and jewels, they became excited and angry, and read me preachments about the lack of thrift, the drink, and the innate depravity that caused all the misery in society's cellar.
When I mentioned that I couldn't quite see that it was the lack of thrift, the intemperance, and the depravity of a half-starved child of six that made it work twelve hours every night in a Southern cotton mill...
These sisters of Judy O'Grady attacked my private life and called me an “agitator”—as though that, forsooth, settled the argument.”

“Describing the video of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis as "surreal and unbearable," the protest organizers called on "all individuals with a sense of justice" to condemn the "racist crime perpetrated by the police," calling it an "ordinary" occurrence in the US.”
Separate from police killings, the statistics for the race of those killing blacks is about 80 – 85% black. So if that is what you are alluding to, it is true that blacks killing blacks is overwhelmingly the rule and an almost “rare” exception is whites killing blacks.
Too bad the progressives killed MLK but when the man started saying things like “…little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" he had to go. That kind of thinking is a lethal threat to what it means to be a progressive. Their parasitic elitism cannot survive without identity politics, societal divisions of all sorts and subjugation of what they believe to be their inferiors.
To me it is never about skin color but character AND importantly that also means that skin color doesn’t EVER give anyone a pass for what they are underneath.
Insurrection, rioting, looting, violence, and assault are never right and are never protected. The failure of state and city leaders have invariably led to vigilante action, which usually makes things worse.
As awful as it is, it is the correct course of action for the president to use the military and federalize the National Guard to restore order and protect life and property where the local leaders have failed to do so. What other course of action is there?
Literally ALL you do is whine about progressives because your wife's pussy has maggots in it...
Now go, clean the maggots out of your wonderful wife's pussy! Hurry up!
Aren't you a grown man, like 84? Stfu, snowflake.
Then stop attacking my family and then playing victim. Not cute for an 84 year old man who has to bring his wife into tuscl conversations over a bitch in 20s.
Good look, bud.
