#BlackLivesMatter, White Guilt and the Marketing of Racism

I can’t breathe.

I’m literally fighting back tears as I write, again, about this prevalent injustice. They don’t see us as individual human beings, but a group to be exploited, separated, and judged based on our pigmentation.

I’m talking about mainstream media and their manipulation of all Americans, corralling us into our respective color zones. They have a narrative to peddle. And we see it with every tragic account of black Americans killed by those tasked with the extremely dangerous job of serving and protecting. I’m repulsed by a news media that is hell-bent on fomenting a racial war.

Whites are killed by cops, according to a database created by the Washington Post twice as much as blacks. Out of a total of 990 killed, 494 (or 49.9%) were white and 258 (or 26%) were black. 782 of those killed, or 79%, were armed with a deadly weapon. But hey, let’s only report when unarmed black individuals are victims of police brutality. This is a deliberate and despicable attempt by mainstream media to color the issue.

I heard some assclown on the "o'really" show last night say the opposite and declare it a fact. WTH? So, is the supposition that the percentages should line up with the overall population percentages? Do more caucasions "need" shooting and less african-Americans? How about hiss-panics, native Americans and asians? Should they be match the demographic? Don't buy in to the narrative and be sucked in to their lies to further the powers that be to further infringe on ALL of our rights. It's what they want IMO.

If I remember correctly Rodney King said “ Can’t we all get along?”

Maybe the issue is that blacks are frustrated and see no progress in their lives even after the first black president and decades of promises from the Democrat party and the Democrat party is now trying to deflect that anger by blaming “white people.”

This is a new level of desperation for the Democrat party. It is pretty insidious and evil and it s tearing this country apart.

I don't do guilt, and neither does Trump. Too much needs doing to be wasting time on fabricated destructive negativity, which "guilt" in the "white guilt" sense most assuredly is.

Screw the presstitutes, screw the chattering capuchins, if I have to personally reprimand every one of them, they will learn the ultimate truth—you don't screw with America.

Not so sure. I know at least a couple of people that, because of the way they act and their political ideas, are truly filled with white guilt.

Exactly. And blaming whitey is a dead end for blacks.

Three simple steps for blacks:

1. Repair the family and make it strong again. That
includes marriage and a commitment to the spouse and the children.
2. Education.
3. Hard work and persistence.

What white libs? What white dems? The only white humans we have are albinos. And since there is no true black in nature, we are all one shade or another of brown. Enough already with the skin tones!!! Some people need to just get over themselves!

Response to your liberal friends.

Then why don’t >they< help if they feel guilty.

There are plenty of minority families in the inner cities who could use their help. So help them already. SO DO IT!

This is what I really hate about liberals — they allow themselves to feel guilty so that the can feel superior to everyone else and yet they do nothing except blame society and demand top down solutions. Many Liberals don’t believe in hands on.

And if they are not successful the first time, then do more until they are successful.

You get used to some level of feeling like a dog that’s rolled in poop from a lot of black people, and that’s really amped up this week, one woman even made a determined attempt at sabotaging my fall registration at college (I’m not entirely white, btw). You shake it off and remind yourself of past kindnesses by black friends, and just get on with what you’re doing. I think that must be a universal experience to some degree that might respond better to a discussion over a couple of beers than a self-segregated swapping of anecdotal evidence.

To some degree I think there’s a fair percentage of the population that are just asshats. It cuts across all demographics, though as a trait it seems to become concentrated at the top ;)

It’s like the liberal writers composing the lame scream mudia are promoting the lowest common denominator concept that all crimes by blacks should be forgiven if perpetrated against whites. Or that after decades of investment by taxpayers of all citizens toward providing education facilities and job training, all the while with an underlying safety net of ‘public benefits’, the result has been an increase in the black population, with negligible effort toward assimilation. Instead of setting goals toward assimilation, the black population set out to colonize this land with ‘black pride’ and serious social and community deficits, such as illegitimacy and disrespect of education, went unaddressed. The liberal welfare system allowed this to happen. So now the tribes of Africa are ensconced throughout this land, albeit with gang tats and colors, and the only direction that BLM can point out is a journey following the path of the lowest common denominator, that of chaos in a battle for survival of the fittest. And THAT is the point of the exercise. Obama is using this schism of our nation to set up the conditions to declare martial law just before the elections in order to deny all of us the democratic process of voting for our leaders.

IMO, they are being manipulated by the elites (Democrats and race hustlers).

It is pure evil what the elites are doing and unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a solution. Worst of all it is all emotion and no logic. Completely irrational.

No guilt here at all. That’s the beauty of being raised Catholic; you learn to repel guilt. I’ve been guilted by the best and now I’m guilt-free! :D
