Title: Racism
Post by: Godfather on October 20, 2008, 04:13:30 PM
Folks,

We are very tolerant on this board. There are hardly any rules. Please don't use questionable terms or context when it comes to race. That is all!


Thank you,

I was laughing at that education video on this fellow's website...and from what I've read he seems to have a refreshing take on this subject.  Let me know what you think of that book.  I've got such a reading backlog now it'll be months before I can get to it.

Speaking of Racism:

Nazi Garden Gnomes?


(http://www.dw-world.de/image/0,,4790350_1,00.jpg)

Excerpt from Deutsche Welle, Alles Hauptgewicht ist mein Selbst:
Quote
14.10.2009
Nazi garden gnomes spark controversy
Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Heil garden gnome!

Over 1,000 gnomes raising their right arms in a Hitler salute have taken over a square in a German town. The artist who made them says they're a warning about the manipulation of the masses inherent in fascist ideology.

A collection of controversial garden gnomes, whose stubby right arms are raised in a Hitler salute, went on display in the Bavarian town of Straubing on Wednesday. The display, entitled "Poisoned," consists of 1,250 saluting gnomes arranged in rank and file. Most of the figures are black plastic, but about 20 are painted shiny gold.

German artist Ottmar Hoerl said the installation was a protest of lingering fascist tendencies in German society.
...

Something about 'manipulating the masses' reminds me of Chairman Maobama and his vacuous yet soaring rhetoric of nothingness that so many folk bought into...just saying...

But I digress, here's the full article...in English:

Not sure if anyone has heard of the terrorist threats made on the bama campus, but apparently they aren't happy at all with the obvious racism in the Greek system there. They caught one of the culprits, a white guy, but there's another one out there. The message he sent out Sunday night were pretty graphic, saying something like he's going to make people respect the minorities and some will know what it feels like to be shot on campus (or something along those lines), said it's coming soon.

I believe the second guy was just a dumbass pranking people after the initial threats. 

Pretty fucked up though.  As racist as Tuscaloosa is, they're not the only ones.  And no one should feel terrorized for any reason unless they have inflicted physical harm on somebody else.  Even then, vigilantism is usually not warranted.

Well any time someone's remedy for hatred and fear is violence we know right off the bat they aren't reasonable people. We can safely assume that if the the "vigilante" is serious about his plan he is also crazy and thus impervious to considerations of the sort you've listed.

See, this is okay.  No need for outrage.  No need to call Al Sharpton.  He was just a Bosnian.  from foxnewz.kum



Insistence by St. Louis officials that the beating death of a Bosnian man was not a hate crime is being met with skepticism and anger, according to leaders of the city's 70,000-strong Bosnian community, and the victim's brother is calling on authorities to "investigate every possible motive."

Zemir Begic, a 32-year-old man who emigrated from war-torn Bosnia almost two decades ago in search of a better life, was bludgeoned to death Sunday, allegedly by a group of hammer-wielding teenagers, one of whom has been charged as an adult. Begic was driving with his fiancee, Arijana Mujkanovic, and a male passenger at about 1:15 a.m. Sunday in St. Louis when five teenagers began pounding his vehicle with a hammer, according to police. When Begic confronted them, he was struck in the mouth, face, head and body with hammers and died at a nearby hospital.

"Zemir was a good person who would have given you the clothes off his back," his 20-year-old brother, Rasim Begic, told FoxNews.com Tuesday. "He never had any problems with anyone."

"He was my role model and a hero," the younger Begic said of his brother, noting that he pushed his fiancee out of harm's way during the attack.

"Bosnians right now have an impression that this was a hate crime."
- Sadik Kukic, president of St. Louis' Bosnian chamber of commerce

The murder early Sunday of Begic has sparked protests, some consciously patterned after those taking place just 20 miles away in Ferguson, where the police shooting of a black man and a subsequent grand jury decision not to indict a police officer prompted racial anger and a federal civil rights probe. But the St. Louis Police Department and Mayor Francis Slay are insisting Begic’s death, allegedly at the hands of black and Latino teenagers, was not based on racial or ethnic hate.

"Investigators do not believe the attack on Mr. Begic had any connection to him being of Bosnian descent," St. Louis Police spokeswoman Schron Jackson said in a statement. In subsequent emails, Jackson made clear: "Investigators don't believe the incident is in any way related to Ferguson" and "The incident is not being investigated as a hate crime."

No evidence has been released suggesting that the murder was racially motivated.

But a string of previous crimes involving poor minorities and Bosnians in a tough area on the southwest side of the city has many in the Bosnian community questioning whether Begic's death was racially motivated.

"Bosnians right now have an impression that this was a hate crime," said Bosnian Chamber of Commerce president Sadik Kukic, who met Monday with the city's mayor and police chief to discuss the murder.

"We don't know if it's a hate crime," Kukic cautioned, though he claims there have been several racially-charged crimes against his community, including last year’s murder of a Bosnian convenience store clerk.

No in Wes's defense (his political side satire remark aside) since this forum is open and anyone who isn't scared can join.  We established two rules no nudity (which has kind of morphed into links are ok as long as marked with NSFW) and no racism.  We are all assholes on here that everyone can see, but we don't need to be racist assholes.  Think of it as us saving you from yourself.

What disturbs me is the narrative that "if you have a problem with Colin's knee but not with the cop's knee, you are the problem" memes and such. Who on earth is defending what Officer richardhead did? And why can't I have a problem with both?

This^^^Right up here.
I have a serious problem with both. 
Title: Re: Racism
Post by: Kaos on May 28, 2020, 12:46:11 PM
My problems.

1) Did the cop "kill him?"  I don't know the answer to that.  Did the guy have a heart attack while he was restrained?  Suffocation -- which would have been the result of what we saw -- was not the cause of death.  Would he have had the same heart attack had they tased him, had they just held him down, had they simply pinned him against the car?  I get that it's a terrible, terrible look.  I didn't think that it was necessary to keep him pinned as long as they did.  But we didn't see the scuffle that preceded it.  He appeared to be trying to get away, which I know from watching Live PD necessitates a forceful response. We don't know what the guy we couldn't see was doing (searching him for needles, etc.?) or how long that was taking.

2) Why does anyone "get" or understand that this event should trigger riots, looting, violence.  Exactly zero percent of that response is productive.  Please explain to me how breaking a window, stealing a television and then setting the store on fire leads to the proper level of justice being applied to this situation?  Please explain how flipping over random cars and leaping around like uncaged animals promotes understanding? The vast majority of people out starting stuff (and why in the crotch-rotten hell are they rioting in LA?) don't care one whit for the guy and are doing what they're doing for purely selfish reasons. You simply cannot "get", condone, understand or approve of that sort of response. It must be condemned.

3) Colin Funklestick "took a knee" FOUR years ago.  It has since been statistically proven that there is no discernable pattern of white police officers killing or injuring black suspects. If you want the studies, go look them up yourself.  What he 'protested' was a fallacy to begin with and one isolated incident four years after the fact does not change that, nor does it validate his fraudulent position. 

4) LeBron James is an undeducated fool.  Why anyone would listen to him on political or social matters is beyond me.  The black kid from Star Wars is a moronic flaming racist (so, too, is the editorial staff at al.com!).  Ice Cube wants a race war.  He should be careful what he asks for.  I'm not sure how that would work now anyway since every single couple in every single television commercial is either gay or mixed or mixed gay. 

5) The one cop should have let up on the guy probably.  His actions are his and his alone, though. None of the other cops should be held liable for that. 


Now, does anyone want to discuss the "black jogger?" 
Title: Re: Racism
Post by: The Six on May 28, 2020, 02:15:21 PM
I don't "get" the violent response. What I "get" is people being mad about it. The response is just as ludicrous as the cops response. The full video is out, he wasn't running, wasn't trying reach for a gun, and certainly wasn't doing what that idiot Mike Brown did. The cop went way too far. People burning down AutoZone went way too far. Colin Kaepernick is a race-baiting piece of shit. All three of those are defensible positions.

As for the "jogger" incident, even that dude thinks people have over reacted to the "Karen" that dropped a dime on him.

A few things here.  Take that cop, cuff him, stuff him and prosecute his sorry ass to the full extent of the law.  We'll find out in due time what the actual cause of death was; however, if you put your knee on the neck of somebody for that long, who is already cuffed behind his back, not struggling and telling you time and again that he can't breathe, then you absolutely deserve to be prosecuted.  And as far as I'm concerned, the other cops who were there and could have simply said, "Let him up", or intervened in some way, should face some consequences as well. No excuse for that shit.

Now, as has been said, the reaction to this is utterly ridiculous, and predictable.  It's become the norm.  If you don't agree with something, let's steal and burn other people's shit.  People who had nothing to do with the reason for your "cause".  I vividly recall a scene from the Ferguson riots where a reporter was standing outside a store that was being looted.  The people running by him were jumping and hollering and laughing.  The reporter said, "These people don't seem upset to me.  This is a carnival-like atmosphere down here."  And in the last couple of nights in Minneapolis, the rioting has already resulted in at least one death and 5 other shootings.  At the end of the day, you've accomplished nothing other than destroying innocent people's lives.

BTW, You tried to burn Los Angeles down after Rodney King almost 30 years ago.  How's that strategy working out for you?

I believe it was Wes that said a while back that there is definitely a disconnect between the cops and black communities.  (Apologies if that wasn't you)  I have no doubt that's true and that there is a huge level of distrust among black communities.  Is it founded?  I have no idea.  Only being black from the waist down doesn't really qualify me to speak to that.  But I'm 100% certain that cops around this country are not systematically killing blacks.

The problem is, if a cop does in fact target a black man because that cop truly is racist, there's not a damn thing you can do about it.  You can't change what's in his heart any more than you can indict all cops around the country for his actions.  Did this cop wake up that morning and say I'ma fuck up a n***** today? Who knows?  But no amount of protesting, or burning, rioting and looting is going to change the heart of someone who is racist. Cops are no different than any of us.  The sad thing is that racism always has, and most likely always will exist in all walks of life to some extent, regardless of profession, circumstances or skin color.  There's no magic wand somebody can wave and make it go away.

This will happen again. It may or may not be the result of racism, but it will be framed as such.  And we'll wash, rinse and repeat.

The disconnect isn't fact-based. 

The problem you have is that if you walk like a duck, wear duck feathers and a duck bill, quack like a duck and act like a duck you shouldn't be pissed off and act a damned fool when somebody assumes you're a duck until proven otherwise. 

Asking people to pretend they are blind is ridiculous.  If a LEO driving down the street encounters somebody wearing gang attire, walking like a gangster, talking like a gangster it is in his best interest, the best interest of any potential bystanders and the best interests of the community as a whole to assume that the person IS a gangster until proven otherwise. 

How many cops have been shot?  How many cops have been stabbed?  How many cops have been bitten, scratched, clawed, punched? 

We don't know why they stopped this guy.  We don't know what he told them.  We don't know what they were looking for. We don't know if they had warrants for him.  We couldn't see the struggle that led to him being taken to the ground very clearly.  While there are HD 1080p videos of every other second of the encounter that portion is somehow not available.  There was a struggle, however, because you can see both officers escorting him to the vehicle being yanked in different directions.  Had he just complied and gotten in the car like they asked, would people be getting free TVs from Target today?  

Was this excessive?  Yeah. It shouldn't have happened.  But it's not indicative of a systemic problem.  It is one isolated instance. No matter how racist a police officer might be, he doesn't set out every day to cap him a colored.  

No offense to Token, but the way we treat and pay police officers does lead to some pretty shitty individuals walking around with badges.  Over my life the two dumbest sets of people I've encountered are academics with PhDs and street cops.  The "detectives" in Tuscaloosa couldn't find an open bag of Doritos if it was attached to their face like a feed bag.  But we don't pay those people enough to truly attract the best and brightest. Our priorities are screwed up.  Teachers and cops should make ass tons more than Jim Carrey, LeBoob James and Alyssa Milano.  But they don't.

I have seen numerous posts and other comments in the last few days attesting to the fact that "racism in any form is a SIN"  

I'm curious as to the theological basis of this.  

First, what is the definition of "racism" as I do not believe anyone "protesting" it or claiming it can acccurately define the word or its application.  

Second, (for you budding theologians) where is 'racism' classified as sinful?  I'm probably wrong, but I don't really think it is (depending on how you define the word, I suppose).

Is it a sin?  No way I can answer that.  It's always existed in every culture, including Biblical times.  The Bible is rife with references on how to treat slaves because that's what was accepted in those times.  But those words were written by mortal men while Jesus' entire message was ultimately that everyone is a child of God, regardless.  His message was to treat everyone exactly how you would want to be treated yourself. 

To me, racism is very simply the "act" of treating someone differently, usually to their detriment, based solely on their skin color.  It takes more than just thinking it.  It takes verbalizing it to that person.  It takes not giving them a job because of their race.  It takes any number of things, but should always involve intent. And that's what we've gotten completely away from.

I posted about the Sacramento Kings announcer of over 30 years, basically getting canned for tweeting "All lives matter....every single one.." and then going on to explain that he was raised to believe that everyone should be treated as equals.  I actually heard some debate today about whether or not Drew Brees is racist because he believes the flag means something and shouldn't be disrespected.  The examples are endless these days where people are labeled as racist or completely ruined based on something they said or did that had absolutely zero racial intent.

But that's the minefield we're walking through on a daily basis.

Here's the thing.  "Racism" has been a part of the human condition for as long as humans have existed.  It is our natural, instictive inclination to want to be around, associate with, interact with people who are similar to us -- and that natural, normal, instinctive pattern includes all facets of personality from temperment to economic status to religion to, yes, race.  

I've heard all this nonsense over the last few days about oppression and "systemic racism" that permeates this country.  I've heard it from people like LeBron James, Sterling Sharpe and Dwayne Johnson who, because of their (subjective) talents have been afforded more opportunity and more wealth than the VAST, VAST majority of people regardless of race.  More than me.  More than you.  And they have the gall to cry "racism?"  

No society in the history of the earth has undergone a more dramatic cultural change over a shorter period of time than the United States in the last 50 years.  Think about that.  Think about the world your grandparents -- my grandparents -- inhabited.  

My grandmother was an awesome woman. Feisty but extremely generous and loving.  Her father had black field hands (he owned a large farm) and for the majority of her life she used the adjective she'd learned growing up to refer to all black men.  N**** Tom, N***** Joe, N***** James.  She preferred dealing with white folks as a general rule when she went shopping, etc. 

Does that make her a sinning racist?  Is she burning in eternal hell?  

I just can't accept that.  

I also can't accept the position of the politicians.  

Open your hair salon because your family is on the verge of bankruptcy and the government descends on you, takes away your business license and arrests you.  

Roll down your car window and pepper spray "protesters" who are lunging at your window and hurling objects into traffic and the stormtroopers put you in jail.  

But smash windows, steal everything in sight, assault police officers, set buildings on fire and the government urges us to "understand"?  People like Obama actually URGE them to continue until they get what they want? 

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.  It's upside down.

This is what I don't understand.  The progress and change that's occurred in this short length of time has been amazing.  I've posted this before.  My grandfather was the town doctor in scenic Camp Hill, Alabama.  Home of the prestigious Lyman-Ward Military Academy, a place I was threatened with numerous times during my childhood.  His office was an extension he had built on to his house.  Years ago, I was visiting my grandmother and wanted to see his office.  He passed when I was about 10.  I was asking her about different rooms and she told me the one on the very back was the "Colored waiting room".  I looked at her with a "Granny say wut?" face.  She very matter-of-factly said, "Oh yes, blacks aren't supposed to come to your front door."

Now, I think about the fact that we just came out of an 8 year period with an African American holding the most powerful office in the entire free world, and blacks being appointed to, or elected to the highest and most powerful positions in the land. 

And yet, here we are.

You got that right.  Part of the plan. 

I had a conversation with the mother of a "protester" the other day.  She's intelligent. She's funny. She's a great person and a good friend. 

I asked her straight up, what was her kid protesting. 

Her: Justice.
Me: They're against justice?
Her: No, they want justice.
Me: The police officer was arrested and has been charged with murder.  He's in jail.  He will be tried by a jury of his peers.  That is what justice in America looks like. 
Her: That's not enough, he needs to be punished immediately!
Me: He lost his job. He was arrested. He's in jail.  That's what punishment looks like.  Innocent until proven guilty -- even if there's video.  That's how America works.
Her:  No! He needs to have done to him what he did to George!
Me: That's not justice. That's revenge. 
Her: No, we demand justice!!
Me: No, you're demanding revenge. 

And it went on for a while. 

She tried again today to get me to understand until I got her to essentially admit that what she wanted to happen was basically Islamic-style justice but only for white people.  And she's white. 

I think it's over.  The radicals have won because there's nobody williing to stand up and do what's right any more.

This has crossed a line for me.  I’m old enough to remember separate water fountains and the “black area” of the theater.  And I’m not that old. 

We’ve gone from not allowing blacks to shop in the same store as white folks to black senators, CEOs, generals and even a faux president.  That’s systemic change.  

And now I see Oprah - the same Oprah who, with no discernible talent whatsoever other than being black and loud, amassed an unimaginable fortune - is hosting a two-day tv special to let other blacks rend their garments.  

As this entitled sow, who has had more handed to her BECAUSE she is black and has more opportunity than almost anyone on earth, lists the participants in her “event” (including the loathsome racist Stacy Abrams) she intones “these are our demands..”

Where are we? Fewer unarmed blacks were killed in 2019 than at any time since we started keeping the stats. And that just relates to "systemic racism by police".

What Kaos is referring to is are the programs put into place to give minorities an advantage over their fellow non minority citizens. And then the white saviors, like you, come out and say its not enough.

When is it enough? When we all bow in submission? You white saviors are the most racist of all.

Dude.  Nobody's stopped.  And it's MORE than enough.  Things have changed more in just my lifetime than they have in the ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE WORLD before me.  It's damn sure enough.  Doesn't mean you can't continue to make sure things trend toward equal.  But look around you Ellen, we're at the threshold of hell.  There's no reason for it. 

There is no reality that will EVER exist where people don't make decisions based on some predjudice whether it be racial, sexual, ethnic, gender, economic, age, etc. 

Smashing stuff in Phoenix Arizona because one cop took a situation too far half the country away in Minnesota (and how is that guy even a racist?) is senseless. 

You will never cleanse the police, fire department, government, schools, or any other place you want to pick of people who have biases.  It's part of the condition of being human. 

I hate that this guy got killed.  But a lot went into that.  Racism?  Hardly the issue at all. 

Talking about shutting down the police departments because one guy abused his authority?  That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. 

I hate to get stopped by the police.  But I'm smart enough to do what they ask and not struggle.  I've been arrested a few times.  I tried that struggling thing once and ended up with my face in the dirt and somebody holding my head down.  I guess they were racist against white people. 

Look up the stats, Wes.  Black people are in no real danger from the police.  There's no "systemic" anything anywhere.

From what I see just eyeballing it.......the peaceful protests seem to be mostly blacks with a good size chunk of young white people mixed in.

The riots and looting is almost overwhelmingly millennial whites using the situation to cause destruction and push their agenda (ANTIFA). If you read their "guide book", look at their garb and watch their tactics - it bears a big resemblance to Mussolini's henchmen. Ironically the biggest fascist the worlds ever known.

There are some really dumb, really out of shape and really hate filled people in law enforcement. That’s a direct reflection of pay, hiring practices, nepotism and political hires.  We just hired a guy, late 40s. Never been in law enforcement.  I question ANYONE who wants to do this job now, specifically later in life, so I was skeptical from the beginning.  First day he is issued uniforms he immediately made a tiktok video of him pretending to be about to draw on someone like the Wild West.  He still has a job because he’s the sheriff’s buddy. 

The Minneapolis thing is stupid by every single account. Every single act from trying to pass fake money all the way to city council paying $65k in private security out of tax payers pockets while they chart out the abolishment of police because they are scared for their lives. 

 â€œHey buddy, there are 4 of us and people are all around us screaming and recording, you think maybe we can put him in the car and take him to jail now?”  â€œNo, I’m just going to keep kneeling on his neck a while longer.”  Incredibly fucking stupid and hateful. 

The Atlanta shooting is a sticky situation. Officer chasing suspect after fighting had a hand held weapon fired at him. He made a split second decision, because that’s the job, and it was the correct one. With that said it was completely avoidable.  Yes, the guy had been drinking. Yes, the guy fell asleep at the wheel. BUT. The guy complied with orders until the end.  He was respectful. He answered questions. He said he had someone who could come get him.  In a normal circumstance like that I cut him a break.  I’m not saying they shouldn’t have attempted to arrest but I bet if you ask them right now they’d give anything to be able to go back and cut the guy a break.  Not let him leave driving. Not leave him there. But have someone come get him. Or hell, take him home. 

Both sides are going to have to come to an agreement here.  For police we need to be reminded we are PEACE OFFICERS. Not military. Not punisher skulls. Peace officers.  For BLM, they need to start teaching their message to their young children inside the walls of their homes.  There is a lot of violence inside the black community and a complete lack of respect for each other or any type of authority. That in itself leads to most bad encounters with law enforcement. 

Lastly, there does need to be reform with law enforcement. There is absolutely 0 reason for law enforcement to deal with mentally ill people who aren’t violent. For instance, we got an order last week to remove a 90 year old black female from her home and take her for a mental evaluation because her family wants to have her rights taken away as she has dementia.  Under no circumstances should ANYONE with a mental illness who hasn’t committed a crime be forcefully removed from their home by law enforcement and treated like a criminal.  

We also need to stop the war on marijuana.  It is certainly no more dangerous than alcohol and while there isn’t a lot of jail time for possessing, it creates an easier means on unnecessary contact between law enforcement and citizens who are likely not causing any problems whatsoever. 

That is my quarter worth of cents.

For instance, we got an order last week to remove a 90 year old black female from her home and take her for a mental evaluation because her family wants to have her rights taken away as she has dementia.  Under no circumstances should ANYONE with a mental illness who hasn’t committed a crime be forcefully removed from their home by law enforcement and treated like a criminal. 

We also need to stop the war on marijuana.  It is certainly no more dangerous than alcohol and while there isn’t a lot of jail time for possessing, it creates an easier means on unnecessary contact between law enforcement and citizens who are likely not causing any problems whatsoever.

That is my quarter worth of cents.
