The role and importance of Black people in American society

[TheGrinch]

The last time there was a Civil War in the USA, it was over Black People

The next coming Civil War in the USA, it will be over Black People.



--- are we seeing a common theme here?

[pellius]

Are there people in Hawaii marching for BLM?  I live in a almost all white area and we have young liberal females marching with signs.

Although Hawaii is a very Left Wing State we have been largely unaffected by the whole BLM movement and the issues that are affecting the rest of the country. The coronavirus still dominates the news. Although Hawaii is composed of so many different races and referred to as a "melting pot" we really don't have any serious racial issues here. There is resentment among the lower class welfare/food stamp local population against Haoles (Whites) but they are largely confined to isolated incidents and not endemic in society.  Blacks are a small minority here and primarily in the military so they are in a different category than the militant, victim class, Farankan/Sharpton types that Al Doggity represents. Being in the military implies that they have direction in life and have taken it upon themselves to advance in society rather than bitch about how the White man is keeping them down. I worked on the Marine Corp Base in Kaneohe for a few years and only had good experiences with everyone there regardless of race. Of course, Marines are a different breed than the rest of the armed forces.

Once you take Black people out of the equation race becomes largely, not completely, a nonissue. If you think that's a racist statement prove me wrong.
Whenever race becomes an issue the overwhelming majority of the cases involve Black people.

LOL yeah in other threads,  you've already established that even an exact quote from you presented in context doesn't count as proof of what you've said.

Wrong again.

Your anger is evident in nearly every thread you post in, ones that have nothing to do with race, interactions that involve multiple other posters. Where are these alleged angry, victimized posts of mine? Nothing I've posted has been anything of the sort. My life is fine- beautiful family, great job, plenty of friends across races.  I pointed out factual errors in what you said. Anything beyond that was conjured up by your own imagination.

No, the majority of your posts are preaching and bitching about the plight of the Black man. You've pointed out nothing but your narrow-minded bias.

You've said this in two different threads. I don't even have to tell you that even if that was that case, I couldn't care less. But, I'm sure you receive feedback to your posts in dms, so why do you think no one else does? In some cases, it would be cool if people shared their thoughts on the board instead of just dms, but I get why they might not and it's not something I would even judge. Just as you think it's great that my posts are driving people to your side, you and your ilk might be doing the same.

And I'll keep saying it over and over again. There is no arbitrary limit to how many times the truth should be spoken.

And of course, you don't care. That's the problem. You are clueless and indifferent to how you stoke the flames of racism. Your level of narcissism and self-absorbed victimhood is abundantly apparent to everybody but you. You are only hurting yourselves but it's getting to the point where nobody cares anymore. You will complain about how more of you are in jail than in school. Or how you are disproportionately executed or serving life sentences. But more and more people are realizing that it is not because of racism it's because you deserve it. You brought it on yourself.

I find it rather ironic that Al Doggity continues to use Pellius' photo as his avatar. Is that being racist?!

He wants to BE Pellius is all.

Al Doggity has to settle for his own black face though.

Hah! I don't even notice anymore. I don't consider it racist and it doesn't bother. Since you brought it up I wonder what the I'm impetus was to have me so permanently ingrained in his head. I mean, ever time he's on the board he has to see my face. 

And I'm the angry one.

[Primemuscle]

you chose to live in that neighborhood because you know better than to live among them

you want me to wise up?  you are proof that wisdom doesn't automatically come with age

you are white, bisexual, and successful

they would hate you the most, so you better "wise up"

and what did you think of the videos i posted?  no comment says more than anything, is that the america you want the young members of your family to live in? 

any white person that approves of BURN LOOT MURDER deserves what they get, but whites sensible enough to see it as terrorism should not have to suffer the same fate

I watched the videos you've saved to your Instagram. Seeing them made me feel bad for you. Many people like myself save videos and photos of family and friends as well as those on topics which interest us. You are on a bodybuilding forum and yet where are your Instagram videos of bodybuilders or at least exercise routines?

I didn't need to watch your collection of racially charged videos to see what I see in the media everyday. At least in the media we are afforded various perspectives and not just those that confirm our foregone conclusions. Why are there no videos on your Instagram showing the hostile actions of other folks besides blacks? Here's why; your mind is as closed as a steel trap. You only want experiences that confirm what you already think.

At least on Getbig, you have a lot of company so you will likely never question what you believe because there is almost no one here who believes differently or if they do is willing to express this.

Incidentally, in the 70's My wife and I bought and lived in a house in what was then Portland's "black neighborhood" so I do have a little experience living outside the white "bubble". There was some shit going on there, but there were also a lot of great people who were our neighbors and became our friends. Damn, wish I'd hung onto that place for a couple of decades because the neighborhood became gentrified and that house is worth a fortune today. Live and learn.

Damn Prime, You were in Portland during the 70's? It must have been like Africa, oh wait -

Portland, Oregon 1970's population - 87 - 93 % white, 5.6 - 7.7% Black, 1.7 - 2% Spanish * .

Wrong again.

Still right.

No, the majority of your posts are preaching and bitching about the plight of the Black man. You've pointed out nothing but your narrow-minded bias.

Sure when you reframe every conversation so that you attribute things to me that I didn't say and change the meaning of things you said, anything can mean anything. Your posts would more accurately be described as preaching and bitching. I don't have a narrow-minded bias. I am one of the most open-minded posters on this forum.

And I'll keep saying it over and over again. There is no arbitrary limit to how many times the truth should be spoken.

Yes, it's getting to the point..., more and more people..., things are right at the tipping point..., watch your back, blah blah blah. Like I said same song. But even if I pulled up the quote, I'm sure you never claimed anything new is happening. You lack the perspective to see you're proving the point I was making in the other thread. In spite of that, I won't be holding my breath worrying.

How is that ironic?

Al Doggity has to settle for his own black face though.

  Over the years on here, people who didn't know I was black assumed I was black based on the avatar.  I could probably pass for white before he could.

You might be zoned in the 20s. We'll see.

I wish I knew what this meant, but I fear I've been owned.

You just gave the board a huge laugh.

You really are so clueless and have any sense of self-awareness. But that's what happens when you've been brain washed since birth.

Talk about projecting. Now you're just getting sad.

And you will continue to worry. I've touched a nerve and it's eating away at you. I've made you realize that no matter how you cut it, you and your people, make our society a worse place. It's too bad for the many decent Black people out there and you disgrace and dishonor them. Your parasitic, violent culture destroys everything and everywhere that you infect with your presence. You think of that every day when you look at my picture.

You could be as white as Michael Jackson but you still act like a blackie.

No way in hell. I never saw your picture and never heard any mention of your race and it was clear to me that you were Black.

As I said before, you are so clueless as to how you come across to people on this board.

Tell us again how you consider yourself the most open-minded person on this board.

[Al Doggity]

Still wrong.

Righter than ever.

Large factions on this board brag about not being open-minded. It's not even debatable. If we were in agreement, me not being as open-minded as I am would probably be considered a virtue.

Seriously, what would I be worrying about? Towns and cities with almost no black populations are having BLM protests, corporations are falling over themselves to donate to black causes and organizations, people who've posted racist comments are being fired and dropped from contracts, NASCAR of all organizations finally dropped the confederate flag, oscars is instituting some sort of diversity policy. I don't even necessarily think these are all the appropriate moves, but you think I'm somehow looking past all of that and, for some reason, your posts are at the front of my mind in regards to which direction this country is moving?

Good old Prime.

He just can’t figure out what point he’s trying to make.

 Arguing about how experienced and cultured he is based on his diverse neighborhood from 45 years ago, no matter what the statistics say... and how that home could have made him a fortune because the neighborhood became gentrified....

I mean seriously you can’t make this up.

[Al Doggity]

I guess you're using that as an insult, but for a good period of time there was  controversy over whether or not I was actually black and people actually used the fact that they thought I wasn't black as an insult. So, once again, a swing and a miss.

Obviously, I was talking about physical appearance , though.

You are a ugly mofo but truth you speak and you command respect which I appreciate. Men like you are born leaders.

[pellius]

Righter than ever.

Only in your mind. Nobody likes you here.

Large factions on this board brag about not being open-minded. It's not even debatable. If we were in agreement, me not being as open-minded as I am would probably be considered a virtue.

It is debatable. But not to you due to your close-mindedness.

Seriously, what would I be worrying about? Towns and cities with almost no black populations are having BLM protests, corporations are falling over themselves to donate to black causes and organizations, people who've posted racist comments are being fired and dropped from contracts, NASCAR of all organizations finally dropped the confederate flag, oscars is instituting some sort of diversity policy.

Because you know that eventually, the pity party will end. Everyone will realize that there is nothing that can be done to appease you. Then no one will even try anymore and just separate and, if necessary, defend themselves against your toxic culture.

I don't mean it as an insult at all. It's just your skewed interpretation about everything that you see through the prism of your racism. It was just a statement of fact.
