Running racism in America thread

Antifa is the real life snipe hunt episode of Cheers, except that Frasier at least caught on at the end.

 

Honestly, people should start phoning in "Antifa spottings" at random locations - bingo parlors, girl scout meetings, garden clubs. I'd add that it would be funny to post a story about Antifa having moles within the White House and in local militias but I wouldn't want anyone killed.

 

I'll push back on this only because we saw people raid pizza parlors looking for underage sex trafficking.

 

Truly despicable video surfaced of five HS girls in my community saying the N word and slaves in a current context. Horrible feelings for me since my kids grew up around them. People want them expelled. However someone reminded me they were only 15-16 and I certainly said horrible things that I’m ashamed of when I was that age. Very conflicted.

 

93 percent of Woke America has been furiously Googling "Juneteenth" this week.

See as a White guy you don’t care. Don’t pretend to know what it means to someone Black how they should react. Don’t you see this type of response is exactly what the protests are about? You just don’t get it.

 

83 percent of Americans can't find a place on a map we've been fighting in for two decades.

I feel pretty confident in saying an even smaller percentage know of Juneteenth.

maybe just don't mention it

 

Interesting read. Makes me think about how we treated the one black guy in our group of suburban Jewish guys in the early 80s.
