There Will Be Blood …

[Thin Lizzy]

No, I wouldn't be. Irish and Italians were treated similarly and it doesn't bother me one bit.

Lol, blacks today wouldn’t know Jim Crow from Jim Beam. Racism and sexism now is just an excuse for failed cultures, failed policies and underperformance.

That’s a myth white ethnics tell themselves to feel better. Blacks have been in the US since the 1500s and were being treated like this for countless generations up to and including relatively recent times. First generation Irish and Italian immigrants faced some discrimination, like immigrants today, but it was short-lived. We’re talking hundreds of years of identity stripping slavery and degradation for Blacks. It’s not comparable.

I wouldn’t be so flip. There are people in this country living today who experienced the worst of Jim Crow, not to mention the de facto Jim Crow in northern cities. It was an evil system no one of good conscious could ever countenance.

Defacto Jim Crow....oh you mean like we see in Detroit, Baltimore, NYC, LA, Chicago, Portland...wait it's pretty much any major metro that is leftist run for the last 50 years.

Those people haven't been done any favors.

Ancient blood rituals were last month.

Hopefully this gets more and more transparent and others recognize the ritual and the light will be shined on Mr. C. and off of his goat.

He doesn't give a rat's sh1t about Blacks, he's passing the buck.

These people are several generations removed from any type of systemic racism. That said, it does make for a great excuse.

And the majority of those who experienced those laws have sided and vote for the very party that instituted slavery and Jim Crow laws

I thought this would be a bhanks thread. 

Bhahahaha!

We'll see what the new mayor does if they do riot and wreck the city.

No doubt that overt racism is fading but to deny it still exists and that the wounds created by it should be healed is unrealistic. There are Black folks in this country who lived under a system of de jure segregation. Do you think you’d be fine with everything if your mother had to endure the degradation of “Coloreds Only” public accommodations? Not to mention a slew of other horrific indignities. That’s right, you’d be angry AF.

True I still have people on the stab list from 2nd grade of course those are individual people not groups based on color.  A lot of whites have been helping blacks for 500 years. Again my ancestor fought for the North and took 2 bullets freeing the slaves. Hell I had an ancestar fight in a failed slave revolution Bacons Rebellion against the British 100 years before the revolution. Both my great great great grandfather and his father were abolisionist preachers their ancestors were quakers who have always been against slavery. So just saying whites have been oppressing blacks for hundreds of years is false. My ancestors didn't oppress anyone they fought for the blacks

Class is far far more important than race.  Racial problems are exaggerated and overhyped to foment dissatisfaction and strife and turn the working class against each other.  People who work for a living are all on the same side.

What's a stab list?  Are there people you were in 2nd grade with that you would stab if you saw them?  What happened with this individual that makes you want to stab them?

The first ones arrived in 1619 and the place has been going to shit ever since.

Over 50% of Blacks have come to the USA voluntarily. No one is stopping them from living in Africa. They choose to live in the USA because they consider it superior.

They - African Americans - consider White-majority societies to be superior. That's they choose to live there, since they think White-majority societies are superior to Black-majority societies.

No one forces Blacks to come to the USA, and no one would complain if they left - which is what they would do if they were truly "oppressed".

As for why Blacks get arrested more, it's because they commit vastly more violent crime. And Blacks get arrested more by police regardless of the race of the police officers, including in Detroit and Chicago, where most of the officers are Black
