Look up the dictionary definition. The word “thug” has nothing to do with race. |
I agree. The footage is for the justice system, and eventually for the public record - whether it shows guilt, innocence or is ambiguous. Just don't riot is part if being a decent human who actually wants progress. You find other means of expression. I remember as a kid wondering what the heck had happened to 14th and 16th street. They looked bombed. And the Mt. pleasant riots were asinine - few DC residents and lots of kids pouring into the city for anarchical "fun" like burning our Giant down. Its a communication form, one worthy of derision, and strong condemnation. Has President Obama addressed this? |
Great! That's for admitting. So when are we going to have these government programs, scholarships and help these young men? There are plenty of programs for women, where are the ones for men? |
Why are liberals so catty and sarcastic? Annoying how race matters so much to them. Living in dc we all have seen a ton of black crime and hear it in the news too. But being so touchy about it you wont ever find any solutions. |
PP here. If you hadn't thrown in that term "white privilege," I might have sympathized more with your point. (And I don't know if you're black, or a white liberal.) But throwing in that term reeks with resentment for white people, and that attitude is exacerbating the issue. And I'm not even sure what it means. The way you used it means a person who hasn't experienced racial bigotry, although I beg to differ. Jews, who are predominantly white, have sure experienced antisemitism (disproportionately from blacks, I might add, which strikes me as both ironic and sad). Plus, many whites have lost out on jobs or promotions because their competition, less qualified, was black. In those instances, would you call it "black privilege"? (I consider it a form of reparations, myself, to try to even the playing field.) |
Ah-ha! Now it's starting to make sense why BLM has adopted an anti-Israel stance, accusing Israeli Jews of "genocide" while conveniently overlooking the horrible treatment Muslim-majority countries perpetrate on their own people (like the antisemitic U.N. does). The Nazi Collaborator George Soros funded the BLM operation and was behind the whole thing! And before all you do-gooders jump in to say that accusing Israel of genocide is only anti-Israel and not antisemitic, let me point out that there is a close correlation to the anti-Israel zealots and rising antisemitism in Europe (especially bad) and here in America, with the BDS movement and violence against Jewish students on campuses. But that's not my concern with this post. My concern is WHY is Black Lives Matter - supposedly a non-violent group formed to raise awareness of police abuse against blacks - now using their muscle to further antisemitic attitudes? I'm starting to think this is the 21st century reincarnation of Farrakan's Nation of Islam (a disgusting anti-Semite). And finally, how stupid can BLM be? On one hand they're complaining about Trump and his supporters being racist, and on the other they are driving American Jews, predominantly Democratic voters, to the Republican side. (Or, if they can't vote for an R, they'll just stay home.) And while it's true that Jews are a small percentage of the electorate, they are also highly educated and participate in elections more so than the average person. In a close election, pushing Jews to vote R, or refuse to vote D, could make a difference. |
I support government programs that will help MEN to stop raping. They are already in college, they just need to stop RAPING women (and men). |
Except college rape isn't a real problem. Do we want zero percent? Of course we do so let's strive for that. But the issue is the numbers are well inflated. Sommers - a liberal herself - called out the 1-5 women are raped in college stat as inaccurate and doing damage to the issue, not healing it. http://time.com/100091/campus-sexual-assault-christina-hoff-sommers/ But the bigger problem is lack of educational and vocational opportunity. So where are the groups, scholarships, advocates for getting men to college? Women are graduating college and high school at higher rates. |
And look at how it is used in daily conversation and I beg to differ. Let me guess, a faggot is just a bundle of sticks too...? |
It is used in daily conversation to describe people who riot, loot, destroy, injure, and sometimes kill others. Race is irrelevant. As for your other point, I would venture to guess that most people do not know that the word you have used can be defined as a bundle of sticks. |
College rape is now not a problem? OK. You realize that experts have collected data showing that as many as 90% of sexual assaults are unreported. I certainly hope you don't have a daughter or, even worse, a son. |
Sommers isn't a liberal. She's a libertarian who shovels pseudointellectual agitprop for AEI, FFS. Part of the pathetic women are constantly falsely accusing men of rape conspiracists. Stop lying. |
The terms would be rioters, looters and murderers, or even criminals, among others. |
Yeah because that did so much to reduce black on black crime just like the way it was great for white on white crime. |
Or, “thugs,” for short. |
