I couldn't quote everything from last night. Too much mind melt.
Whoever brought up communism should be congratulated for distracting from the specifics of the discussion. Well done.
All I am saying is, both sides are guilty of shit beliefs and violence. Racism isn't the only shit belief in existence and vigilante violence driven by far-left Socialist and Communist ideology doesn't become less shit simply because they're facing down ethno-nationalists and fascists.
One side shows up and says they're ready for violence (maybe not all of them, but they banded together) and that they're ready to fight blacks, Jews, queers, etc. because of who those people are.
The other side, which includes blacks, Jews, queers, etc. shows up and says that's an awful fucking position and we're prepared to fight back if you threaten us.
It was ready to blow from the beginning, no doubt. I just can't believe we're actually discussing a political equivocation between the two sides.
Who the fuck even quotes Jimmy Kimmel? By his own logic, he was too soft on Donald Trump when he was on his show and now Kimmel is complicit in white supremacy.
Give me a fucking break.
Kimmel is complicit in white supremacy. So am I.
So are you.
But nobody wants to have that argument, do they?
The entire basis of "white supremacy" isn't violence. The USA was a white supremacist nation until approximately LBJ (1964 Civil Rights Act + 1965 ending of white immigration quotas), but for 100 years prior, our federal government didn't do much in the way of explicit violence.
No, it just didn't prosecute whites for lynching blacks, or beating blacks, or raping them. Ain't it great when the citizenry carries out justice for you?
Obama built his administration on black identity, btw.
In short, good. Black identity is an entirely different phenomenon than white identity, and the hostility that many whites are feeling now isn't anything like the denigration that blacks have felt for centuries. Whites are feeling paranoid that their country is being taken from them. Fucking stupid honkies.
I have to disregard all the other questionable stuff you said, which is posturing and perspective, not fact.
I'd argue that BLM did come from a racist starting point. You don't see people rioting when a black man legally shoots a poor innocent little angel of a white thug. BLM formed because they identify along racial grounds primarily. Today they're the more moderate face of it, filled with as many Starbucks-liberal white college students as black people, holding candlelight vigils and whatever, but the origins are at least racialist.
This basically demonstrates that you do equate black identity politics with white identity politics (can't believe I have to use that fucking phrase), and that's where your problem lies.
This widely held shit opinion is why this whole discussion always becomes pointless, and why the "alt right" is growing in response. Don't know why I bothered dipping into this.
Neither do I, since you have nothing to contribute.
