So what's with the white lives matter too much sign in the back there?
Black Lives Matter thinks we suck dick so...
No they don't. At least not the "leaders"/core movement, but BLM's issue is that it doesn't have a universal message other than "fight the oppression", and no end game goal like MLK's movement did. Granted, it was WAY easier to rally against easily defined segregation, but still. They could use a strong leader right about now to clarify a message rather than the mess it is right now.
Or, they hate white people because they're white. Just like the ones that attacked the mentally disabled kid in Chicago.
MLK must be rolling in his grave now.
Yeah, because a group of thugs and those that act out defines the entire movement and an group of people.
I suppose all of MLK's followers were pretty shit too since some followed Malcolm X as well, who promoted more violent means.
They lack unity and leadership, but to assume the entire movement is hating whites simply for hating whites, is looking at things in way too narrow a view, and paints the entire thing in a black and white way, and movements like that are anything but that.
Even with several bad apples in a so called movement harm another person because they're white, it delegitimatizes the point of BLM being a movement. You might as well as call it the black version of the KKK then.
Also, Black Lives Matter? Why not All Lives Matter? At least the lives of innocent people. It shouldn't be singled out to one race but whatever.
But anyway, with those people as an example, if BLM is suppose to be a good thing, they make it look bad, and frankly, I don't see it as a good thing. If I ever run across a BLM event going on here, I'm getting the far fuck out of there asap, because I bet you it would turn into a riot fast.
it's black lives matter because black people specifically have been the victims of extremely unjust treatment for the entirety of the united states' history (they also have an intersectional approach when it comes to immigrants' rights & indigenous peoples' issues sooooo). they needed a movement to fight back against the powers that oppress them. it's not "black lives are the only lives that matter," it's just "black lives matter." only a fool would read hostility in their moniker. you're a fucking idiot and your racist statements are horrid. martin luther king jr would recoil with disgust seeing you invoke his name.
Deci is an ethnic minority. Therefore, he can't be racist because racism is prejudice plus power. Check your privledge, cishet white male.
mad/10
"I have no response, so I'm just going to say that you're mad"
you are clearly mad tho. anyway here's the issue: deci can't really benefit from racism due to the power+privilege thing, but that doesn't invalidate the fact that he does hold racist views. i think, in the back of your head, you already knew this.
I don't hold any racist views actually.
All I did was disagree with one thing and that suddenly makes me a racist?
Well that's childish.
The statement itself has a racist rhetoric behind it, but most who say it are ignorant to what it really means

Yeah, read it. Cold War US policies with espionage were very shady, but then again, so were the Soviets. We're only criticizing the US's version of it because we won and the Soviets collapsed.
That's not to take away from the shit decisions that it was, but yeah, I'd rather take a world power that promotes tolerance and personal freedoms than one that doesn't.

I'll read all of that in a second, but are you seriously saying Vladimir 'assassination dalmatian' Putin isn't that bad a guy? The authoritarian leader who actively suppresses the media, jails and assassinates his political opponents, and tries to actively hack and bully nations around him, to not be a bad guy?
I get where the dude is coming from sometimes on trying to restore Russian might, but the way he tries to go about it at the expense of his own people is sickening.
As for the others, yes, you're right. America has fucked up a lot, I have said that. But I more so meant from a global stage where nations haven't gone directly to war with one another. I was more so talking about Nato/EU, and how the EU has been a massively stabilizing force in Europe after hundreds of years of turmoil. You could argue that changed with nukes, but I think the EU did help bring those nations together after an insanely bitter century before hand.
Edit: And some nation will control the world through influence. Most would have it be a country that promotes democracy and free speech, rather than one that oppresses its people and has no such thing as free speech or media. Even if America is shitty at it in practice, it still is better than the alternative. Even then, Russia isn't even the future super power to be worried about, because they won't be. It's China.

An issue with that though is the US, along with Nato/EU, has helped maintain the global peace, and when you have countries like Russia looking to tear both of those apart, and Trump say "these countries can do what they want", then it's pretty bad.
Especially since Russia is bully/invasion happy, and China is building islands all across the ocean. But I guess the status quo is never good for people.
The ironic thing is, this all came to be after WW2. And just as the last of the WW2 vets are dying, we're all seeing a change and losing sight of the stability all of this stuff set up has brought us.
Also, the US military doesn't really meddle in those countries with bases. They're there for if we have to put more people around with our allies. Our special ops do the meddling, but really, the US military is just one big huge deterrence.
I do agree though that we shouldn't pump so much money in our military and SHOULD focus on things like infrastructure, which is something I am supportive of.

I more so meant Trump can never just admit he's wrong ever and will somehow blame the media.
Glad he's calling out the media on things though. Mainstream media fucking sucks. We all know it. But yeah, Trump doesn't like to be wrong.
Literally shouting lies at the media isn't calling them out - it only makes you look stupid in the end. Nothing Spicer said in his tiny tirade had any basis in facts based on live images or DC Metro figures. The only thing he had accurate was that the white tarp is much more visible.
It's gaslighting at it's worst, and Spicer is shit at even doing that.
Actually, he did have validation with the MLK Bust in the White House thing, and I can see why they'd get annoyed about that little tidbit.
To which that reporter in question already publicly apologized well before this conference and explained the discrepancy. Whether or not you believe his explanation is another story.
That's like a teacher yelling at an entire class because one student plagiarized an essay.
It lends nothing to your credibility as someone who is meant to bridge the gap between administrative figures and those you work with in the press
Yeah I saw the tweet or news about it at least. He should have been a BIT more careful before throwing that bait out there that spread quickly, but yeah. Also, I don't think Trump has any credibility coming into office at all. He doesn't want to bridge the gap in the slightest, just look at his inauguration speech. It was to his voters. Edit: Then again, he said he was going to get done the things he promised, so already he's better than 90% of politicians.

I get what you mean in that they don't talk about the more controversial stuff like that.
However they do report on what's happening, and when the bill to investigate the Saudi's was a thing, it was getting talked about. It's all about cycles, and sadly, Trump makes them when he just says flat out lies that make people laugh and disprove him. Though the media would probably be best to just ignore them by this point, rather than give him attention.
Anyway, people complain about media, yet we have more access to the real news now more than ever, so it seems sort of a moot point. Unless you're talking about the people who only watch TV, and even then, World News Tonight for example and not places like MSNBC or Fox News, will more than likely try to be as non biased as possible when reporting, rather than sit around talk tables and go on and on about how someone is right or wrong.

Even Trump should realize most of his support was from the Mid-West and other areas nowhere near DC. The New England area hates him, of course he was going to have a smaller audience. Obama got a huge crowd because DC was surrounded in areas that voted for him.
That, and it was far more of a landmark in history and his campaign wasn't as divisive and negative.

I think you missed my point again. Calling someone a liar about something when proof is in their favor, doesn't make them a liar.

He should stop stroking himself and get to work. Replace ACA, with a better one. Let's see that southern border tightened up. Though you don't need to go as far as a wall. I want to see him "eradicate ISIS from the face of this earth". Very interested to see how things go.
All I know is nothing will ever be his fault. Ever.

Well I actually don't know the guy or his beliefs, however the term Fascist and Nazi has been thrown around a lot lately without thought, and I'm talking in general, not just this forum. Also I'm pretty sure Hitler and the Nazis were rather left leaning politically, they were just also super racist and authoritarian.
Keep in mind I can't respond well, I'm on my phone at work.
Facism is about as right as you can get on the political spectrum. Communist is left.

That was the one they singled out. They said the tarp made it look worse, along with security issues, and that it was actually the largest ever.
I bet Trump supporters will say that shit is photoshopped or something.

No links yet but I saw it live. The briefing guy Shaun Spencer immediately came out and started attacking the media about the coverage of the inauguration, saying that the tarp laid out made and security checks made the inauguration crowd LOOK smaller, but in actuality it was the biggest attendance of one ever. Even bigger than 2009's Obama's. I wonder how the next 4 years will be with him saying reporting is all lies and he's all right.
And also the MLK bust being moved. That was false reporting, which is actually true. It's still in the White House. Guy that tweeted it quickly apologized but looked like an idiot no less.

I promise you I'll give you a reply to that tomorrow, because the "all lives matter" thing is something I can explain in great detail and why it's inherently incorrect
but for now, I sleep. I feel sick. Goodnight.
Fair enough. Goodnight and get better soon.
Okay, replying to your post. Putting them akin to the KKK is really ignorant for the obvious reason that these people don't specifically have group meetings where they plan on how to lynch and kill people. As for the "all lives matter" thing, BLM isn't saying ONLY black lives matter. They're saying black lives matter TOO. Saying all lives matter invalidates the entire thing because it's basically saying "your people are dying because of discrimination and gang violence? Well okay, little African children are dying." It'd be like going to a Gulf War war vet and going "Hey get over it buddy, all wars matter. We all lose friends in them, you're not special". Or a cancer patient and going "hey, all cancers matter, why should we care specifically about yours?" The reason it's a singled out race is because blacks in the United States have historically been oppressed, and are still discriminated against heavily, even if it's not as in your face as "Whites Only/Colored".
