oh im not saying the black community doesnt have problems, im saying that an approach that acknowledges the environmental factors contributing to them is going to be more constructive, if not essential.

The statue that was ripped down was generic Southern soldier. If any monuments were going to be used to teach and remind, a generic soldier seems to be a good example.
Regardless of that, the way to get rid of any statue the local community wants to get rid of is through the democratic process itself, not through mob rule.
We aren't a 3rd world country, that is just the way it is done here, or at least used to be done.
Would it be OK if KKK stormed DC and ripped down the MLK statue?
The slippery slopes these days are greased with oil, give people an inch and they take a mile.
I see a lot of people that need to be made examples of, starting with the idiot that drove the car into the crowd and murdered people. How about a good old fashioned tarring and feathering, we sing koombaya, and go on with our lives?
that a thread about an actual nazi rally in virginia contains 12 pages of people railing against black america's "victim complex" says everything possible about the community dan druff has cultivated.
So were the colonies who did the same thing to the English less than a century earlier. The only difference is that the Confederacy lost and the victors write the history books. You can debate motivations and reasons all day long, but the truth is that the South had every right to leave the Union.
I suggest this new crop of Nazi's are really just left behind folks with no true grasp on history at all. As products of a failed education system and lack of local leadership they are lashing out in ways that gives them attention and therefore makes them feel good. The more they can avoid ownership and place blame of their situation on others the better they feel.
Trying to explain this situation by assuming these folks have accurate historical perspective is a waste of good logic.
there is iron in these words. i think the entire alt-right movement has simply congealed around the lowest gravitational moral sinkhole. and honestly the KKK is one of the most well organized and influential political movements in the history of the confederacy, so it makes sense that all these rubes would fly the banner of white nationalism at the end of the day, what with it having the overt approval of president bannon's white house.
morals so low ya'll.
How are attacks on a sovereign nation by a foreign entity analogous to states declaring independence? The southern States that formed the Confederacy attempted to secede from the country they were a part of. You are making an ignorant over the top argument that holds less water than a thimble.
Safe to say the racists are coming out of the closet in this thread at a serious clip.
The northeast does the heavy lifting as far as tax dollars go.
I will take your word on that because I will be the first to say that taxes in the south are relatively low. The county I live in is voting on another 1 cent sales tax increase today to finally go to 10 cents. Our property taxes are insanely low too because the lumber and coal companies lobbied heavy to keep the increased from passing.
hey guys, great news, trump just announced this rally's body count was the fault of the 'violent left'.
Like you're in this country benefiting from all its "horrors", either leave or just kill yourself.
You guys are some delusional fucks.
It's hypocritical as fuck to say that slavery was bad, yet not realizing the fact that without slavery you wouldn't be so comfy and fat, just typing away at your false altruism......
...its cute tho.
lol fuck me, you weren't kidding.
an actual photograph of john kelly during trump's meltdown.
if you look close enough, you can actually see him composing his resignation letter in his head.
“You had some very bad people in that group,” Trump said, “but you also had people that were very fine people — on both sides.”
Some of the white nationalists are very fine people, I stand corrected.
He needs Obama's teleprompter and a set of blinders. I think it may be possible he's missing the section of the brain that understands consequences and makes you think twice before saying something.
Few of the militia groups that were at the rally denounced the organizers and participants days ago...
Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia: “These people did not come for free speech, they came to fight. We are not going to allow people to get violent. This was nothing more than an excuse to unite rightwing hate groups. They knew Black Lives Matter would come and antifa would come,”
... and 3%ers issued an ultimatum to all their members that if they are seen participating at any white supremacists rally they are out.
