If you weren't, then mb, I missed it, as I just jumped back into this after BJ quoted me again this morning in this midst of all this and I saw your post on it

the person that did it was Colin Kaepernick if you didn't know. he didn't start this whole thing just because of the BLM movement.

Do you agree with this or are you just speaking from their perspective?

 

Sep 25, 2017

yeah yeah my bad.

If burning a sacred symbol is legal than why is burning a plant illegal

 

Sep 25, 2017

correct.

Didn't he?

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,"

that was from him a year ago. He never solely said it was because of black people or in support of the BLM movement. It just so happened that BLM had a lot of steam behind it after the Baltimore and st. Louis riots so media just put it all together.

Like Obama, Lebron James, Kanye West? All the black NFL players who make millions?
Oppressed huh.

you're only mentioning about a handful of people out of thousands going through those issues.

so sick of seeing this f---ing garbage a--- argument whenever any celebrity even remotely well off makes a statement on something like this

as if you believe that suddenly, every single struggle in their lives or the lives of people they know around them is wholly irrelevant because they made it, and that because they might have money, they can't possibly face ANY discrimination or be feeling/have felt any of the s--- that goes on in this crazy a--- world

success doesn't stop you from being racially profiled or make your struggle irrelevant. I'm successful, but I still have struggles, just like any human being. It's levels to this s---.

No f--- you, you (and CK) said america is oppressing "black people" which means all of them. Not some black people but presumably all of them. The concept of racial "oppression" dies when a black president is not only elected, but gets a second term in office.

Do you guys know what real oppression is?

Everybody has struggle regardless of race, and believe it or not, poor people of any race have it worse off.

You can say there are racists in america, but that's a minority of people. The country itself is not a racist country.

Discrimination by individuals isn't oppression by the state. I'd rather be rich and discriminated by people who have no impact on my life than be piss poor and white in a society that then thinks i'm privileged.

 

Sep 25, 2017

lol f--- Me? You mad?

I never said black people are oppressed, I was quoting CK. But since you want to go there, if you understand that the term oppressed means harsh treatment with abuse of power and authority (sounds familiar...). You going to really sit here and say that because we had a black president systematic oppression just up and disappeared? Stop it.

people are really still supporting Trump, huh? smh

 

Sep 25, 2017

i wouldn't doubt that most of the people backing trump likely think something like this

 

Sep 25, 2017

There were black slave owners that owned black slaves so that must mean they were never oppressed huh.

 

Sep 25, 2017

Question
Were black people oppressed under the obama administration?
Is that what you were saying.
That black people were oppressed though 8 years of Obama

 

Sep 25, 2017

Black people were still oppressed under Obama adminstration too. Neither administration is going to fix these issues overnight nor do I expect them to.
