So lies justify the outcome? The end justifies the means? We could say that about every Agenda that continues to erode our Constitution and way of life.

Frankly, THAT is bullshit. We are the least racist country on the planet.

No one should be treated differently because of their sexual orientation. No one should be treated differently because of their...whatever....see how that works?

No one should be treated differently because they want to have sex with children or marry multiple people or animals or kill people because they don’t follow a certain religion...even if that religion/political ideology wants to kill others who don’t subscribe to it...

Sorry, I don’t subscribe to revisionist history of the Black Struggle. And I sure as hell don’t need to pay, literally and figuratively, for what happened in the past when my ancestors weren’t even here. Americans already paid for the ill that was slavery, with 600,000 lives of the men who fought our Civil War. It’s time to get the hell over it and stop blaming the past for the current problems of a race of people who can’t handle western civilization and refuse to solve their own problems.

As is the rules and laws that came from it. Sorry if I don’t like paying for everyone else and that now my kids suffer because we are paying for history. All of these “victims” need to get the hell over it especially since they didn’t suffer from any of it. They need to stop blaming what happened hundreds of years ago for their current position and lack of success. They’re not succeeding for a reason and it ain’t because the United States had slaves hundreds of years ago.

The victim mentality is alive and well and it’s killing this country.

Of course.

And now we’re replacing them with more “maligned”

My youngest, senior in high school, came home today and we had a discussion...as we’ve had many discussions lately, on what the new agenda is in the schools. These last couple of weeks have been about the Syrian Refugees.

Every class, every day. She says she just keeps her mouth shut since she’s outnumbered. She tried to discuss it. She was required to write an essay. She was required to write a rebuttal. The whole class not just her. In every class.

I know exactly what’s being done since I was told to discuss it also but I refused because I teach freakin’ algebra. We discuss formulas, and rules, and slope and graphing and other math shit. Not only that but teaching the graphing calculator.

I’m not wasting limited class time to discuss all this crap. But, even our math curriculum is slanted towards this.

My youngest comes home, and she’s the most liberal in our house, and even she has problems with what is being taught in her classes and how she can’t say anything since she’s outnumbered in this affluent school. How the teachers are so driving the liberal agenda.That this kid sees this, this kid who is the most liberal but really not so, sees this.And what she tells me, what her teachers are saying, I know it’s true because I’m told to do the same thing. I said no because I teach accelerated algebra we don’t have time for this crap.But this is the crap that we’re allowing to be taught in our schools.

We are so screwed, outside of the few who are learning differently but it’s not enough to counteract the Agenda that has infiltrated every aspect of our world.

Heh same thing really. The activists, in every form, are winning because even conservatives - of every color, fall for it.

He doesn’t have to want to bring them back again. They’re doing that on their own...safe spaces, etc.

It’s the reverse now and the “guilt ridden” whites are leading the crowd.

Sorry but I will never be guilt ridden for a past that has done everything possible to reverse that injustice and is met with just more reparations and will continue to do so because it is never enough for a people who refuse to fix their own problems because why should they? The victim status serves them too well. And now we’re adding other third world peoples that we will continue to pay for while our own kids lose out. Yeah, four kids, four college educations paid for by us and their own academic achievement. They didn’t have any special “race” affiliation to pay for it. Same with our medical insurance when I can’t get the meds or other medical things because it’s too damn expensive but I’m the wrong color or legal,etc. You bet I’m pissed.

My kids earned their grades but have to fight for spots with people who don’t know the meaning of an education and refuse to actually work to attain one. We pay a huge insurance premium and out of pocket costs yet I can’t get medicine/services because I can’t afford the costs while others who I pay for get it all.

Yeah, I’m pissed.I don’t suffer from “white guilt” or any other manufactured dilemma.

Bullshit. It started way before Obama’s Administration.

Wardaddy isn’t embittered by anything. He sees what is happening and has been happening since at least the 1950s.

As is the evil now. Evil happens and then it’s perpetrated by even the “icons” who give credence to it.

#blacklivesmatter oh because they haven’t before? So now they matter more than other lives, especially white lives?

Bullshit.

Yep and whites are gonna know it. They (yes the they) are gonna make sure we suffer for all the ills of the past. They don’t want equality, hell they already have more than equality, they want domination.

You could also say it about the formation of the Constitution in the first place, which was treason against English law.

Generalities have to be considered within the context of their specific applications, yes.

Heh. Then it’s all about sides really. And I’m on our side. Or the side that matters to me and my family’s well being and my Country’s well being. It’s not the side of Blacklivesmatter (they matter no more or less than any other race’s lives), or black anything since the civil war, or islamic refugees (aka invaders) or mexican and other 3rd world country people invading this country and not assimilating like my ancestors.

#WhiteLivesMatter

I like that generalization.

I was thinking more of a generalization like the one that makes up Constitution, not one based on race.

Some of the things I’ve read have said that it did happen spontaneously, only with a different woman-an unmarried pregnant young black woman-but the people behind the protest didn’t think that she would be the best “face” of the movement, so recruited Parks, who had long been politcally active, including ties to the CPU.

No different then now when blacks want to be treated differently-only with the scales tipped in their favor-and whites discriminated against. “Black only” this, “black only” that, and whites not only are sinners for what they do, they are born in “original sin” by virtue of being born white. One difference is that while back then, whites wanted to have their own thing, they didn’t care if blacks had their own, Now blacks want to have their own, but scream raycissssmm if whites want the same.

Last news story I heard regarding Parks, when she was livng in the enlightened city of Detroit, a “brutha” broke into her home, beat and robbed her.

A few years later, when he was out on parole and got busted red-handed while robbing a Carholic church, he bragged to the arresting officers that he was the (famous?) man who was arrested for attaccking and robbing Parks.

I’ve wondered what she thought of life in the paradise of Detroit, after living in the overtly segregated “hell” of the South, as opposed to the covert segregation of the North.

I can’t see those who have Communist affiliations, as “fine Americans”. The CPU existed to undermine and destroy America.
