I'm Tired Of The Racism In The US

[GroverCleveland]

Conflating racism and slavery doesn't work out so well. Lynchings were going on in this country into 1960s. Jim crow, and institutional racism were all prominent in the 20th century. Saying that the people who suffered through this should just "get over it" is extremely callous if nothing else. Evil action demands atonement.

Lynchings were no longer prevalent after the 1930s. The only ones that come to mind after that time were the few that occurred in Mississippi during the 1960s. Jim Crow was practically eviscerated after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent Supreme Court decisions, so yes it was prominent in the first six decades is far more accurate than claiming it was a feature of the entire century because it was not.

Not quite sure what you mean about saying people who suffered through "this" should just get over it, but the people who actually "suffered" are like WWII vets, there are not that many any more and the number is rapidly declining by the day. I said that because most of the ones on TV screaming how bad they have do not know their rear-ends from holes in the ground about it. They seem to be regurgitating propaganda they have been indoctrinated with.

And lastly, what do you mean by that last statement? Can you give an example that should be taken to atone for Evil action?

Christ definetely wouldn't write a 500 word rant only calling out SJW's for racial issues in this country, that's for damn sure.

I'm curious as to how you came about this particular bit of emphatic knowledge. Email? Tweet? Or just decided it was thus and so?

Did you mean to quote me? I do not follow

No, not trying to quote you. You made a definitive statement what a man, whom I assume you have never met or spoken with as he died approximately two thousand years ago, would say on the topic of SJWs and racial politics in this country. To my knowledge, he never spoke on this specific topic. Now he did provide guidance in how we should treat one another in general and, while my understanding may be flawed, I think very little of the noise put out by SJWs has much to do with the teachings of Jesus.

So I was asking, out of curiosity, how you came by the knowledge to make such a definitive statement?

Racism exists in other parts of the animal kingdom.

It is a mechanism of nature at its roots.

My chihuahua hates the collie that lives next door. That dog is a lil bish though . I have been trying to teach my dog about tolerance and acceptance. No luck so far.

Hey guys...i see that I posted an extremely well thought out and enlightening post already in this thread back in 2020. You're welcome for that btw, but i have an idea for you scholarly gentlemen...so humor me ,if you will:

Ask your all powerful Google search engine this query:

"How many people on Earth are still slaves in 2023? "

When you see the answer to that question...(millions of people) perhaps ask yourself a few more questions (or Google if you choose to) :

WHERE are all those people enslaved?

WHO actually enslaved them?

the last 1...and its a real doozey...

WHY on Earth do we never, ever, evah, hear anything about the millions of people enslaved right now?? WHY do we still hear about slavery that 99% of Americans ancestors had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with? Very, very few people ever owned slaves in the US...only the quite wealthy and plantation owners, and a large % of even that small segment of folks 300 years ago STILL never owned a single slave in their lifetimes....

Who, what, where, why....hmmmm. Something is surely amiss. There is clearly an AGENDA regarding what gets publicity from 300 years ago, and the terrible crap still happening today. Did you know that there are millions of slaves today in India alone? There are MORE slaves right now in 2023 in India right now than there EVER WERE in the USA ?

Why do we not ever hear the truth?

Who benefits most from US citizens being split against eachother? We are not even asking the right questions in this country. How could we ever get the right answers?

Posted in the wrong forum, please forgive me! Mods please delete the other!



Players opting out for social injustice, black on black violence is at an all time high in our country. I served my county in time of need as an Army specialist and as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan. I severed my country proudly which I love dearly but what is going on in our society today is a shame. Black Lives Matter, but why do we have to place it as Black lives matter? Why not all lives matter. We still haven't gotten over what happened 400 years ago. Wanna talk about social injustice, what did we do to the American Indians? What did Egypt do to the Jews? What did Hitler do to them? Whoa is me is an attitude that needs to leave our country and we get back to being the greatest nation on the planet, but until this stupid blame everyone or everything but yourself finds it way out the system, nothing will ever change.

My wife and I have raised a son (legal guardian) that is black! I don't see his color only that I love him as much if not more than I love my own kids at times. He is a part of us and will always be but he also has questions as to dad, mom, why cant we all live together. This splendid young man is 23 years old and he gets it. Times are trying but racial tension has NO PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY As Morgan Freeman said...... and I loosely quote,"Until we see each other as men, and women, with no racial barriers, our country isn't going anywhere." We need to look at others as we all look at ourselves regardless of race and creed! Jesus spoke to his disciples and told them to love each other as he had loved them. Can we not follow our lord and saviors advice?

If people want to kneel during the anthem, having severed in the military, I support their right and defended it to express themselves. If we don't take strides to achieve a peace between races I see no way for America to ever be great again and our society will never evolve into a state where everyone cares for everyone. One quick thought when you feel the hatred boil inside you when it comes to social injustice or race tensions, ask yourself what Christ would do.

You understand that Obama and his ilk stroked the racism in this country. The racists in this country is all part of the dem party

My question is why did Africa so gladly sell their countrymen. If Africa took a stand slavery would centuries earlier. Yet the dimtards only pick and choose who to blame.

Got to be honest any time I see something as stupid as "I'm Tired Of The Racism In The US" I have to question wether the person has really spent any real time outside of the US (overseas base doesn't count for much) Because my boots have tred on three other continuants, and the one universal I experienced is EVERYWHERE is more racist then the United States.

He provide guidance. God's word provides guidance. This whole idea about Christ being some sjw is just laughable.

Yep. The dimtards must scream racism hourly. It's how they get gubment money

You made this post in August of 2020... and in August of 2021 we left Afghanistan in disgrace.

1. In retrospect, can you really say with a straight face that you served "in time of need" in Afghanistan? Was Afghanistan an existential threat to the United States?
2. "There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights."
Smedley Butler

Was Afghanistan a threat to either our homes or the Bill of Rights?

Scrolling through my FB feed this morning I see no less than four stories about the Tennessee Titans hiring a new GM.
Each one of those stories found it necessary to point out he's a black man.

What you can't get past keeps you in slavery. GloverCleveland is right. Not one person person knows slavery. You can't get most people to do one hour of hard labor for a paycheck.

'Countrymen' assumes that Africa was one country. It wasn't. It was more like Czechs selling Poles. Those who sold the slaves are to blame as are those who bought them wholesale and retail.
