No IQ there whatsoever, what a psycopath


Tariq Nasheed is the despicable pile of shit that minimizes videos of blacks committing hate atrocities and thinks he's cute by fabricating that the victim called the sick black psychopath a n*****r first which then precipitated the victim's "deserved" beating or murder.


There's only a handful of child molesters that follow Tariq Nasheed.

I thought many American blacks wanted to go to Africa for a better life where there is no racism like in the evil United States?  Where are the Wakandan warriors to save those girls?

Where are all the BLM campaigns to save these black slaves in Africa?

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 * .

.

.

* See page 93 here - https://www.census.gov/population/www/documentation/twps0076/twps0076.pdf  .

I'm surprised the black population was that high in the 1970's. In 2019 African Americans made up only 5.8% of the total Portland population.

That the black population was as low as it was in the 70's makes the fact that we bought and lived in a house in the black area of Portland all the more significant. Including us, there were only three white families on our block the rest of the
households were occupied by black folks. We paid a fair price for the house. We could have bought a house in many other mostly white areas of Portland, but we didn't.

My wife and I moved to Portland, OR from West Hollywood, CA in the late 60's because we were expecting our first born and wanted to have a house rather than an apartment, which was all we could afford in West Hollywood. My wife's close friend had moved to Portland to attend Portland University several years prior. She raved about how great it was here. We rented our first house here for $75 a month including utilities. We'd been paying $250 a month for a two bedroom townhouse in West Hollywood. The opportunity to save money was the main lure.

Over the next couple of decades our families followed suit, by moving from Southern California to Portland. They did so for a variety of reasons. Mainly because they were tired of the stress of big city life with traffic jams and long commutes. None of them lived in black or Latino areas of L.A. County. It safe to assume they did not move here because of the racial demographics.

Men, whether young or old don't get pregnant and give birth 9 months later. You've claim to not be very smart. I'm beginning to believe you are right about that.  ;)

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.

My point is simple. I make nothing up, I simply tell it as it is or was...otherwise known as the truth. There is no argument.

I'm not sure how relating that a neighborhood I once lived in later became gentrified has anything to do with my past experience living there. I mentioned it because it is ironic from an investment standpoint. My home today is much larger, newer and in a better school district yet that first home is probably worth more than the one I own now. Housing costs in the city of Portland are disproportionately expensive and out of reach for most people, regardless of their race.

If you can find any videos of blacks beating whites in the media please post them.

Were not the videos you posted on Instagram (which is social media) taken from the Internet on social media websites? The definition of media is; noun. a plural of medium. (usually used with a plural verb) the means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet, that reach or influence people widely:

Facebook, which is social media just removed some of Trump's campaign adds because they contained a Nazi symbol....an upside down triangle.

I'll have to ignore these hate crimes because the corporate media, which is my only source for news, hasn't reported on them.

Jimmy Dore is a Bernie-voting liberal but he explains the corporate censorship of conservative AND liberal independent media very well.

People that follow corporate CNN, etc.. narratives are pure hate. Repulsive sickening bigoted filth, creepy perverted monsters. Fuck you.

Prime I can’t help you.

Why is it ironic from an investment standpoint? You moved to an area where it was very cheap to live. You said you were one of the few white families in a black neighborhood, in a city that has a small amount of minorities. Then you said the value of the property shot up due to gentrification and you should have held on to the home.

Let me ask what point are you making? Or are you just stating facts?

Why do you argue the value of black lives when you live in a white community? Why are you not also standing up for Hong Kong and Chinese lives, or North Koreans? Those people suffer much worse atrocities than American criminals. And I refer to these men as American criminals because that is what they are regardless of color.

And no they should not have been killed because they are innocent until proven guilty. But we should also use the same standard on the police officers who are making decisions under extreme duress.

'It Was As if We Weren’t Human.' Inside the Modern Slave Trade Trapping African Migrants

https://time.com/longform/african-slave-trade/


If the exact same thing were happening in the US, except switch out Arabs for Whites, miraculously it would not be defended, qualified, or minimized by those qualifying, defending and minimizing. No hairs would be split. No arguments over semantics. It would be regarded as slavery by those denying it's slavery. Because the goal is solely to attack Whitey, despite the fact that most Whites came to the US after the Civil War and were "rewarded" with perpetual Black violence while those same Blacks never miss an opportunity to suck every last dick of the elites that enslaved them in the first place.

While these twitter posts are horrendous to watch, they are hardly major news. You can't honestly expect corporate media to report on every fight that breaks out between what appears to be teenagers. And unless who ever took these videos sent them to mainstream media, how would they even know about them?

If in any of these three examples of juvenile "hate crimes" resulted in a serious injury or death, you can bet the media would be all over it. Imagine if the young fellow who had his skate board stolen by a couple of punks reported it to the police, what do you think the police would do about it? My guess is they'd do nothing. Post some newsworthy examples and you might have a point.

Isn't it funny though that a woman in NY, that was recorded making a 911 call falsely reporting that a black man was attacking her, made international news and was broadcast on corporate media over and over again and led to the woman being fired. Out of everything happening in the world, was that newsworthy? Did that result in a serious injury or death?

The point is hypocrisy. Double standards. The powerful corporate media almost completely control the narratives. That is the point of posting all these attacks. Collectively, they show a pattern and those videos posted here are the tiny tip of the iceberg. It is a BIG, BIG problem. And children deal with it every day at schools. It is FAR from isolated.

People do send these videos to the corporate media and they ignore it. The national corporate media ignored the nursing home beatings, which I hope you are aware of. Tucker Carlson gave it a tiny mention but that was it. One local station covered it. Believe me, I am in contact with many people that sent those nursing home videos to dozens of stations and networks. The corporate media knows about it.

What about the recent news story of the "white" woman sticking racist letters on the doors of Asians in Northern Ca? Did that result in a serious injury or death? The media was all over it until they learned the woman's name was Nancy Arechiga and was very Hispanic, NOT WHITE. Oops! The media dropped it like a hot potato. No follow ups. Should that have been a national story in the first place? If so, should it have also been when the perp was found out to be Hispanic? Is the corporate media covering the Dijon, France gang wars that resemble actual wars? They give it very, very scant attention. Yes, injuries and death there. On the internet, you can see important stories from all over the world that the media never touches. They have an agenda. All corporate media, Fox, all of them.

Watch that Jimmy Dore video and you'll see what slimeballs the corporate media are.

And no they should not have been killed because they are innocent until proven guilty. But we should also use the same standard on the police officers who are making decisions under extreme duress.

Just to be clear, I wasn't expecting your help. Why would I?

I bought, fixed up and sold several homes for a profit, which I reinvested in the next property thus moving up in value each time. As a result, I live in a beautiful home that I wouldn't have otherwise been able to afford to buy.  The irony is, had I stayed put, I'd be living in a nice place, although smaller and lesser in every way except price and proximity to downtown Portland. This is an observation and a fact. It is not a complaint. If I were starting over I would not change anything. I enjoy where I live and it definitely suits my needs. Maybe this is why I've stayed here for 22 years.

One again, I am not arguing anything. I do have an opinion though. It is that people, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, occupation (including the police) or religion should all be treated equally.  Despite what anyone thinks or the media reports, I believe all criminal suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Unfortunately, this is not true everywhere in the world. It is definitely not the how a lot of folks on Getbig think judging by their posts, which often show extreme prejudice.

Oh, and I guess the 'black lives matter' movement means something to some people in my "lily white' town because they are peacefully protesting in small groups at the roadsides in West Linn. Interestingly enough, I have yet to see an African American among them....but then African Americans make up only 1.79% of the population in this town.

Echoing Joe Friday's famous business-like catch phrase, “Just the facts, ma'am.”  :)

the same where i live, the whitest towns are having protests

they should move to diverse areas if they want diversity so much, otherwise shut the fuck up

one nice white school district in my area borders a horrible black school district, there has been talk of merging the schools for years but the white school district wants no part of it, yet they still had their protests ::)

I get what you’re saying, you’re only interested in your points. Now I know.

I don’t think the majority here are implying people should be treated unequally. Racists are what they are, nothing will change them. But there are plenty of people calling a spade a spade, that’s not wrong let alone racist.

Congratulations on the protest, I hope the people they’re fighting for move into your neighborhood.
