Running racism in America thread

Agreed on the first point.

As to alienating people, there always will be people who want to be alienated — like the guys who stormed the Capitol. It's more important to discuss the issue than worry about how the messaging will be received.

 

Honestly, good for her:

Update: Elderly Asian Woman Who Clobbered Her Attacker Talks About Terrifying Assault In San Francisco – CBS San Francisco

 

Cowards attacking elderly people.

 

I’m very pissed/saddened about the entire trend of attacking elderly with a subset now on the Asian elderly. The WashPo had an article on it this weekend.

 

6 out of 8 murder victims of White SouthernBaptist cult member in Atlanta were Asian. But he was brainwashed by his cult to consider himself dirty and a sinner for engaging in sex. Is this because Asian women and girls are often victims of human trafficking? Where’s that outrage and mass demonstration? According to CNN it was possible that we had going to Florida to conduct more mass murders.
His family helped law enforcement catch him. I find this to be refreshing. Some, maybe a lot, of Capitol Insurrectionists were also turned in by family, friends and neighbors. I think this means that while the extremists garner wide coverage, often deservedly so, they are a distinct minority.

BTW if a white male killed 8 people in one killing spree and 6 were black, would we accept the killer’s denial that it was not racially motivated?

 

12 Republicans vote against honoring Capitol police for protecting Congress

How far gone do you have to be to put yourself out there to vote against this? Even if they want to believe it's Antifa that did this - you still vote yes.

 

Typical suspects in that gang, including Biggs, Gaetz, Gohmert and Greene. I’d love to see their phone logs (burner phones included).

 

White moderates are looking for any excuse to say "Oh man I'm being scapegoated, now I don't even want to do anything about this because I'm being attacked." It's classic abusive deflection.

Because, like I said, their actual goal is to protect the system that benefits them. They just don't want to feel morally responsible for the consequences of protecting it, which is the continued subjugation of others. They have to convince themselves that as long as they don't actively hold malice to minorities, they've done their part.

 

Do you really think that the Mid west and southern white trash Christians who form the core of racist and Republican support think the system works for them? Their irrational belief is that the system doesn’t work for them but it does work for minorities. They are delusional but their delusions are reinforced by their religious and political leaders.

 

No, it isn't, but Ragu's response shows an unwillingness or inability to listen to what Pilot was trying to explain.
