Not racist because being a victim of racism makes you exempt from any future racism?
i was being sarcastic

Sorry just actually lol'd at this.
I personally do not care whether you like cops or not, regardless of what they've done or been accused of doing...
But this viral photos is what matters to me...
Original article
#BlackLivesMatter *IS* a racist front. It *IS* no different than the KKK or Skinheads.
We are either in this together, or we're not in it at all.
I'd give my life for yours...would you gives yours for mine?
Flame on. Chances are, I won't even read any responses to this. I can hear the crying now.
How many people have "Black Lives Matter" killed? Because the KKK has killed many thousands of Americans, burned a countless number of black majority churches, and personally maintained Jim Crow laws in the South. In its prime in the 1920s, the KKK claimed control over more than half of the state legislatures, with 1 in every 4 white males in the South being official members.
Skinheads & neo-Nazis follow the teachings and ideology of Hitler and the Nazis. The Nazis literally killed 10s of millions of people, including being responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million white Slavic people. Most historians put that number closer to 20 million, but I'm trying to be nice here.
So how is "Black Lives Matter" anywhere close to this? That's like me saying the Tea Party is no different than Chingiss Khan/Genghis Khan's empire because they both needed to breathe, eat, and sleep.
This is literally why politicians dumb things down so much. Because apparently some people can't understand any more complex than "me good, he bad, hurr hurr hurr".
Also, is this supposed to be good or bad? Since actual KKK members & skinheads are extremely right wing. So is a KKK or neo-Nazi sympathizer on the right wing supposed to support "Black Lives Matter" now or not? Y'all can't even get your stories straight.
wait so you are taking a relatively new movement, asking how many they have killed
then taking skinhead neo-nazis, and saying hitler killed millions? have skinheads killed millions? we know the democrat KKk killed a lot of black folks for sure!
history sucks huh?
-facepalm-
Did you miss the entire point of this thread? The OP is the one comparing this "relatively new movement" to skinheads and the KKK. Or did you not read that far?
And yes, I pointed out why BLM is nothing like skinheads or the KKK. Then I presented facts. But apparently my post was too long for you to get that?
Oh sorry, I need to be brief. "OP make comparison, I show OP's comparison not valid. Me also not Dem, me independent! Oooh oooh ohh! And if KKK so bad, why extreme right wing still embrace them? Hurr hurr hurr!"
skinheads and KKK are racist
BLM is racist
theres your comparisson all neat and tidy without the whole but but how many people were killed diatribe
youre welcome
also the EXTREME right are a minority just like the EXTREME left
And I already posted why that comparison is invalid.
You can't compare someone to the KKK without mentioning the violence the KKK committed. That was the KKK's whole point: to maintain racial segregation by any means necessary, legal & illegal. BLM is absolutely nothing like that. Hence why the comparison is invalid.
Same goes with skinheads & neo-Nazis, who follow actual Nazis. They were another absolutely violent & genocidal organization that killed 10s of millions of people. They controlled a government & conquer several other countries. BLM is nothing like that.
Also, how can you, an apparent right winger, compare BLM to the KKK & skinheads when today's actual KKK & skinheads are right wingers too? Do you reject them & their sympathizers or do you accept them? Because if you accept them, then say BLM are like them, wouldn't you accept BLM too?
are the KKK racist? yes
is BLM racist? yes...are BLM murderers? not yet.....
there we go
Thanks. You just proved my original point about why politicians dumb things down so much. Because apparently some people can't understand anything more complex than "me good, he bad, hurr hurr hurr".
Lemme guess, the word "blackmail" is racist too since it's not "black-n-whitemail"?
do i look like al sharpton to you? snow is white! therefor its racist!!
You're the one comparing BLM to the KKK & skinheads. There's no way you can know anything of substance about either of those groups then come to the conclusion that they're similar.
"Hey, Genghis Khan's empire & the Tea Party are just alike because they both breathe air. Totally similar!"

I am reading this thread, and it is p'n me off. My family consists of white folks in this country since 1621, so we have been here for a while, and I have written evidence that some of mine have owned some of yours in the past. And I am sorry, this was a sad part of of North American History.
But for the rest of you idiots to deny that systematic racism has existed since the end of the civil war is assinine. Jim Crow and all, and y'all are going to deny that black folks have been held down. Want to pull out my grandfather's purchase agreement from 1955 for his burial plot, that told him he could not sell it to person of color. Or talk to my mother who graduated HS in 1957, small town Missouri, and they still had the colored school.
Or my little town in Missouri who threw a fit in 1972, when they had a section 8 housing situation, and OMG, we had negroes living in my town. This crap has gone on for too long, we all bleed the same color, we are all the same, when are you racist asshats going to realize that.

Honestly, a lot of these people know this. They're just playing ignorant. ATS has a lot of older members who were teenagers or full grown adults during the times of Jim Crow laws & forced racial segregation. They know full well how things really were. There's even a thread here (a rant) called "African American Names!", where members here openly admit to throwing out job applications if they had stereotypical "black" names. but they're the first ones to claim institutionalized racism is fake.
I was born & raised in the South. Most "white" people I know here can tell you exactly which family members owned slaves, how many, and a lot more. They can tell you which members were in the KKK too, if you ask. And that includes the liberal, progressive, and centrist people here.
So to compare BLM to the KKK is so far off that it doesn't even make sense.

Why are there all black schools still and not all white? Why is there a TV station that is BET (Black Entertainment Television)? That is continuing racism. Not to mention there are all black fraternity's and sorority's, there are no all white ones, they may discreminate, but that is class to class. The black ones literally won't even accept a white person's application. Racism still lives and more with the coloreds today.

Because they also believe in segregation, therefore are no different than whites. It's just that within the last 30 or so years whites accept blacks to make their own segregations where blacks throw (Imus's words) nappy headed ho holler fests to get their word in, and whites still are told to feel guilty for slavery. When will that end? Never. IMHO Blacks are the same as whites, and if blacks want to have an all black anything, go to an all black community or to Africa, or else it is not American and segregationalist. There for racist.
What would happen if NAACP were attacked by the KKK? Yin Yang I presume.

Because people are still idiots and don't understand that things were white only for a long time, the blacks are trying to catch up. I will pretty much bet that I could walk up and pledge a black fraternity and be accepted, maybe not, I am old guy. Your use of the term coloreds tells me all I need to know about you, I lived in the south for several years.
