Racism

[wesfau2]

This attitude is a major part of the problem. 

It's not "some things."  It's a complete societal upheaval the likes of which has never been seen in human history. 

More change in my lifetime than in the collective history of the world combined.  And still there are riots (with your support). 

And it's not enough.  Change is good... But stopping when it gets uncomfortable will lead to where we are.

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.

The protests in the streets aren't being led by white people.

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. 

This is out of hand.

You demagogue about as well as Prowler but you have twice his IQ. So I expected better. 

Uncomfortable? You think that's what it's about? It's about exactly what K said if you would actually read and analyze his words. Carefully. With logic and not emotion or virtue signaling. 

You are smarter than this Wes. And I mean that with all due respect.

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.

And while the protests and burning and looting etc. were going in Chicago, May 30th saw a record 18 murders in that city.

The drive-by shootings have been rampant.

I must have missed the news of the entire city of Chicago burning.

That's so 1871.

Dear Wes: 

Please explain the irony.  


Gang leader orders shootings that kill innocent bystander. 


You can't judge us all by what one man does!!!! 



Takes an arrest restraint too far. 




ALL Cops are racists!  Get rid of the PO-lice.  

Sincerely, 
Kaos


It stinks in here.

Well. The left speaks in emotional logic. Not objective logic. So it can’t be explained. The goal posts get moved.

I've got a great idea that will help all the black people of Birmingham.  Lets take away the free healthcare and not let them have church in our schools that has all been provided by Church of the Highlands AT NO COST TO THE CITY all because the preacher is a conservative.

So, the pastor "liked" some posts by Turning Point USA.  This world has lost it's ever-lovin', mutha fuckin' mind.

And I’m still waiting on wes to provide a good retort to any of this garbage. There isn’t one. The only retort is one loaded with rhetorical talking points and hysterics. Ssdd.

I'm sorry, Hal.  You aren't allowed to have this opinion.  Your life force will be terminated.

Neither is the looting or burning of stores and homes.

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.
