BF2S Forums Presidential Election 2016

Bigoted whites and the power base built around it probably impact more lives in the US than bigoted blacks. Aside from other ethnic minorities and the LGBT/etc. spectrum, the same system also adversely affects poor whites, as well as whites who think they're middle class but not even close. We're a big country with a lot of resources. Both issues could be worked on simultaneously, and addressing the first should do much to alleviate the second. There's no valid reason we should be underperforming in things like quality of life, crime prevention, and education rankings. Need I mention the virus?

I don't have super hopes for Biden alone drastically turning the tide here but for now I am happy to staunch the exsanguination somewhat.

The autonomous zones did face criticism from the left. We can't have people just storming around and deciding to usurp city authority with their own microgovernments. These things have to go through the proper channels, and the proper channels have to be accessible. This could have been avoided if peaceful unobtrusive demonstrations hadn't been stamped down so fiercely. Also while we're here, the Trump riots could have likely been avoided without Republican politicians riling them up like ill-trained attack dogs and setting them loose to cause mayhem. The right's attempts to deflect from their own recent anarchy by pointing out sporadic violence from BLM and non-centralized antifa in 2020 is in exceedingly poor taste.

I cannot begin to humor a connection between black Americans and our Chinese and Russian rivalries. The mental gymnastics defy reality.

e: It would also be interesting to compare the ratio of attacked volunteer medics in the Trump protest to those in BLM protests.

Why? When blacks are dominant do you think they're going to give a single shit about 'white equality', 'hispanic equality' or 'asian equality'?
Historically they've dominated and brutalised their fellow blacks, let alone other races.

Blacks aren't going to dominate America. Their share of the population is actually on the decline. From 15% to 13%. The Hispanic population out numbers them and the Asian population is growing faster than either of those two. Hispanics and Asians as a whole are probably more racist towards blacks than whites since neither group has a subset of liberals who feel guilty about slavery and Jim Crow.

I'm still the least racist person I know, everyone is racist.

Asians and hispanics can indeed be quite bigoted towards blacks, and black-on-black violence is something that should be addressed alongside other important issues that devastate various demographics.

Everyone is racist, white people putting themselves second all the time will mean their culture gets trashed by trashier cultures.

Eventually blacks will regret replacing white racism with black or asian racism.
Rhodesia is there already, South Africa any moment now.

I don't know what that means or implies. Is the next step actively assaulting people of other races? You want a pat on the back for 'showing restraint'?

Dilbert, we all have biases. But to most of the people here they're aware of that fact, see that it's neither right nor healthy, and people work on that. With you the existence of bias is not seen as an issue but as some fact of your life, an unchanging law of nature. Worse, you seem to interpret it as a good thing.

You don't know how Dilbert acts day to day in the real world. He might not even be a person.

It's a shame South Africa turned to shit. An English speaking nuclear armed economically strong country on the tip of Africa would have been good for our countries.

Seems those good english speakers turned it to shit.

Don't a significant amount of black Africans speak indigenous languages? Why did my phone suggest a monkey emoji after I typed Africa? 🐵

Africa is a pretty big place, so, uh, yes.

By a 50 to 51 vote, democrats authorized the start of a $1.9 trillion relief package that will be negotiated entirely by democrats it seems. Making the money printer go brrrr

Someone on reddit made a good response to me that you would probably find helpful, Newbie.

Once we get enough people vaccinated to the point that we can open up entertainment venues, demand for those services are going to explode. Full reopening will be a small economic boom. I think democrats might actually do well in the midterms if Biden can ride a the reopening wave.

If nothing else it will allow people to get out of their homes and out of their online social bubbles that just feed them propaganda day in and day out. Hopefully when people can actually go to events/parties, etc they will slowly regain some sanity. You see stories of that all the time when people get away from 24/7 fox news that they stop the non stop hate for everyone that disagrees with them.

I know Trump people have always and will always be there but I agree that we might be able to cool things off a bit once normal people can go to the corner bar and watch some football with strangers.

It's hope, I guess, but I think they'll still get plenty of bubble feed whether on the internet or with their like-minded friends.

‘Its Own Domestic Army’: How the G.O.P. Allied Itself With Militants

Actions taken by paramilitary groups in Michigan last year, emboldened by President Donald J. Trump, signaled a profound shift in Republican politics and a national crisis in the making."

Should we be worried about this? I'm not really worried since I have nothing to live for and we all die eventually anyway. It is actually very funny since this proves a lot of liberals right when they warned that 2nd amendment extremism, Middle Eastern wars, and obnoxious patriotism wouldn't end well. I guess this proved liberals right on a lot of other things too considering this is where the Republican party is at now. Imagine losing so much you regress into armed militancy.
