Racists using covid as an excuse for us not to protest. blm > some virus

The BLM movement is more important now than ever compared to some virus that is proven to be overblown. The world didn't end, no massive graves with millions of people have died from it. But you wanna stop us from voicing the fact that a whole race has been oppressed for generations? No fuck that this is our moment.

    I am sure this post is by a white supremacist to make protesters look dumb and preach more hate against the blacks, just like a bunch of anarchists are taking advantage of the protests which are mostly peaceful to do looting and arson attacks. Also it is pleasing to see more white people are protesting along side their black brothers and sisters to show unity and end racism for good among future generations. Regardless posts like these are obviously dumb. It is true the anger has taken over people's best judgement throwing cautions of covid to the wind, but until then they followed it and they will eventually return to it. Not all are like filthy Trump who puts personal interest ahead of people's life saying no need to worry, its just a flu, drink disinfectants that might help, bla bla bla. Protesters have momentarily thrown caution to the wind for the understandable anger, but caution was never a thing to you Trump supporters who were enjoying themselves at the Beach while people were dying anyway. Don't insult people's intelligence OP, we know what you really are regardless if this post wasn't attempt at sarcasm or to preach outright hate and make the BLM look stupid, you failed miserably. I am saving this comment and will post again if it gets deleted.

      Black Lives Matter already makes themselves look stupid. They don't need OP to help do that, whether you're right or not.

    • No. There are people on that side that are that stupid, many infact. They don't need people to make them look stupid. This has less to do with "blacks" and more to do with Black identity extremists, which do not represent "black people".

      To even suggest that "whiteys" are the ones causing this chaos almost exclusively is absolutely ludicrous. We see the videos, we see the looting, attacks, and property damage, this is being committed by black people far more than white people but yes, there are whites doing it also. Groups filled with white people like Antifa sure are adding oil to the fire but it was a fire already burning. You cannot absolve BLM's violence on white people that joined in.

      To even suggest Trump is the one putting personal gain before lives in this subject is unbelievable. It's not Trump out there burning down communities, killing people for TVs, etc, it's the Black Identity extremists running the show.

        You misquote, generalize and make false claims, I never ever said whites are the ones solely causing damages, and all this stems from not one incident of brutality on blacks but decades of it here, since you lack knowledge of history:

        https://www.isitnormal.com/post/iin-there-is-no-stop-to-white-police-brutality-on-black-people--294023

        It is you who is making the false claim only blacks are causing violence, a few ppl from both races black and white are taking advantage of the protests to cause violence. But the majority are peaceful, and have condemned the violence.

        And I am right, either you are blind or do not follow news and Trump had been treating the covid crisis as a joke long before. People have been spreading it going to beaches and stuffs, listening to his claims that its just a flu and bizarre suggestions you can just inject disinfectants to your body.

        • Apologies, I often use quotation marks for the sake of emphasis, it wasn't intended to quote you in that comment but I see why that was interpreted.

          You didn't directly say white people are the ones causing the chaos but it was implied, which may of been unintentional. You first suggested that a white identity extremist made this post as if to say black identity extremists do not have the capacity to be this stupid. You then separate "blacks" and "Anarchists" into different categories and claim the Anarchists are taking advantage of the protests and doing wrong while the "blacks" are just "protesting". That's what your comment implied. If this is a misunderstanding then fair do's.

          I'm aware unarmed black men have been unjustly killed, just like people from other races have been killed, just like I know routinely more white people are killed by cops. None of that justifies either group of people from either race doing what's happening in these riots.

          I never claimed that only blacks are causing violence, at most I've claimed it's primarily black people committing crimes in the riots, which is true. To try and separate the peaceful protesters from the rioters is absurd, they are using eachother. The "Peaceful protesters" are not abiding by the curfew which directly helps the rioters by limiting what law enforcement can do in order to secure areas from the crimes of rioters. So while they're "peaceful" the are making it insanely harder for law enforcement to stop the riots.

          Well it's a joke at this point with Covid. The exact same people that were against the conservative anti-lockdown protests are the same ones supporting the left wing protests/riots that is far more detrimental to the containment of Covid.

          Side point:
          What are your thoughts that race isn't the biggest component to unjust killings by law enforcement? The primary group that gets killed by law enforcement isn't necessarily black people, it's men. If this wasn't the case we would see a greater amount of black women being shot than we do white men. Looking for your thoughts on this.

            Yest white cops kill both unarmed blacks and whites, disproportionately the killings of "unarmed" white people by black officers is almost unheard of. Besides the high proportion of white police officers to blacks even after all these years is striking case of unemployment and struggle of the black people. I don't know why you are bringing gender to this, well even as late as the 90s men dominated everything, women have advanced in the last 20 years more than ever before, so number of women victims is rising, like a black woman shot dead at her own apartment in her home this year and an unarmed black woman killed on her car by cops are rising, she was beaten up just because she refused to get off her own car and had 0 offense. And there are more, a woman was killed for speeding (in a world we talk let child rapists-murderers walk free, talk about ablishing capital punishment) https://abc7chicago.com/we-want-justice-family-of-mother-killed-during-cpd-chase-demands-answers-/6232707/ , its rising as women are now more involved.

            I know your history here as a woman hater thats your personal feeling, but , this isnt a gender issue. Do not try divide people on gender or race. Men and women, black and white stand together to try and end the evils of racism for good. But I do agree the ones causing violence are criminals taking advantage of the protests and need to be taught they are not above the law, but peaceful protests can continue till racism dies, and while there are white victims, deny however much you want most victims are predominantly black. If you reply next time either reply reading this:

            • Now you're trying to muddy the waters. You're trying to downplay the numbers by injecting the "black officers don't kill white citizens as much" line as if it's relevant to the point that the "racist cops" kill more white people than black people. Yes, there's a far larger population of white people than black people, this will result in more white people being part of most employment roles, it has less to do with racism and more to do with population size.

              The sex point was a side point but you didn't necessarily answer it. I was asking why more white men are killed than black women if race is the primary defining factor of discrimination when it comes to how law enforcers act, you simply gave me examples of when black women were victims which wasn't what I was asking nor is it an answer to the question.

              Well you don't know me very well. I don't hate women and I find your attempt to pivot by asserting that to avoid the comparison to the subject I was making to be very transparent. I'm sure those radical feminists would also find you to hate women simply for what you stated there. Regardless, I'll let the GF know that I apparently hate her.

              Since you didn't answer I'll be more direct. If the biggest case of discrimination within law enforcement is race then why are men the vast majority of victims to the point white men are more likely to be shot than black women?

              Yes, I read the post you linked, I'm just waiting for you to explain the point of it.

        So you think the government and its financiers have no hand in manipulating this situation over the last couple months? The government would NEVER do that...

        Oh wait, just look up the FBI's COINTELPRO program from the 60s and 70s for a real life example of how the government deals with dissent illegally.

    Tony Timpa a white man was killed in the exact same way. The knee on the back of the neck. He begged for his life. The officers taunted him as he died. Its all on video. Of course there was no msm coverage. No outrage by BLM.

      The problem is that no one with a proper head on their shoulders wants to be a cop. The pay is shit, the people you “serve and protect” hate you, and you Get shot at. The funding for local departments decreases every year. That means less pay and less TRAINING.

        That's the real problem. Policing is a job that has certain perks, some of which include the right to a gun, ability to assert your authority on anyone of your choosing by force, a gang backing you up no matter what you do, a legal system designed to shield you from accountability, these are big to some people.

        A job like that is naturally going to attract people who want to bully others on the street with no fear of consequences. And the system makes sure they can do just that, in the name of "law enforcement"

            And the easy 6 month training course means there's no way to weed bullied kids looking to bully others from people with good intentions.

            It's the same thing with prison guards. Who the hell wants to spend long overnight shifts standing around with a bunch of people who want to throw poop at you or stab you? It's a boring, thankless, allegedly dangerous job. But on the plus side you get to brutalize people with a whole bunch of your boys behind you for backup, meaning your victims are basically helpless. That's really the only perk, if you're the type who's into that sort of stuff.

            It's a tell when they hang onto their bully macho man authoritative attitude off the job too.

              Valid points on prison guards. I've never understood how someone could want to do that job, and I find it hard to believe there are many kids who say they want to be a prison guard when asked what they want to be when they grow up.

              However, the USA loves to lock people up, and the prison business is a huge industry. There are places where a prison is the only significant employer, and the whole local economy is based on the prison. And it's obviously a job that doesn't require a good education or any skills; you just need to be able to follow orders and throw your weight around.

              And then there's the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment that showed what happens to ordinary people when you put them in charge of others in a prison setting. Even if someone starts out as a basically decent human being, they can easily become total assholes when they get sucked into a fundamentally brutal culture at work and they have to try to contol people who are angry, hate The System, are constantly looking for ways to prove that they aren't completely powerless and have nothing to lose. Add to that the fact that a lot of people in prison have very serious mental health issues, and it's not surprising that prisons are hellish for both prisoners and guards.

    You have to turn out, for each election.
    And dont get distracted by the spin machine.
    Republicans will spend millions to convince you to vote for them, or sit out the vote.

    It's not just those on the political right who are pointing out the dangers of large groups of people gathering at the moment.

    In any case, while the coronavirus is highly communicable, the odds of getting it when outside are pretty low as long as people aren't breathing directly in each other's faces and engaging in lots of skin-to-skin contact.
