If some assclown fired a flamethrower (make shift or not) at me, I’d probably shoot his ass too.

The cops should have moved on the guy with the flamethrower first.

Or they could think “Hey, I went the legal route, paid my dues, and earned my right to vote! Why the hell should these people get all of that free?!”

But no, no, let’s make any latino who doesnt fight for illegal immigrants an uncle tom.

Hi! Liked the article, very informative. I feel you may have missed the point on the anti-cop bit though. No problem you probably dont run in the circles where BLM is considered bad. Most of my other friends who dislike BLM point to one bit to prove BLM hates cops. From The Movement for Black Lives website:

Of course he is. At the end of the day, Legacy is the closest to immortality we can come to. The average person won’t be remembered past their grandchildren. Sure, there are tax records, but that’s just a name.

Cosby is already famous, but how that fame is remembered is what is at stake for him. Will he be remembered…

Most solid black BB 1911 I could find.

If That was anything like what he was carrying, and he was mentally ill, the cops really didn’t have a choice. Every second they negotiate is a second he could fire either at them or in a random direction. 10 minutes is about the right time for some who is cornered safely in a…

I get what you’re saying, but if you think racism is gonna get better AFTER the apocalypse, you’re in for one hell of a surprise.

Hang on, quick question. The man on trial had already pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon, per your article. That’s a felony level offense, which restricts gun ownership, in that he can’t have one, so his pistol is an illegally acquired weapon.

So you would rather that man walk free? Prosecuting all…

I get people dont like our current immigration laws, but you can’t just ignore them. Otherwise, what the point of having law in the first place if you’re just going to ignore the ones you dont like? Fight to change the thing, but dont just pretend it isn’t there. If nothing else, you should be blaming lax immigration…

20/20 hindsight is a bitch. For the time, his ideas were not that far off from even the most progressive in the north. Shit, it wasnt that for off from the way the rest of the world thought. Ideas do change over time, and today what he supported is immorality at its worst.

Still, from a military perspective, he was a…

No, I dont wish he had won. This seems to be the goto on this site whenever someone says something positive about anyone in history who did/supported something negative

Not really? Theoretically, any state can secede. The south seceded, and the sheer economic and power loss that cost the US is what started the war.

Ultimately, the south really didn’t do anything illegal. And theoretically, if texas seceded today, it would be legal.

Lee was a great military strategist. If he had the support he needed the south would have won. That’s why his name belongs on a military base. That’s why his tactics get studied. The army is perhaps the least racist institution in the US, because it focuses on ones skill in a particular area vs their ideology.

Arnold…

No, that’s not at all true. That would have been a valid comparison if i had said something to the effect of: Some africans aspired to be uncle toms, so that meant they loved it.

My family didn’t come from mainland europe. We came from czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia, while basically built on slavery, outlawed it ~1050…

You just repeated what I’ve already said in other comments. So yea, I agree completely with what you just said.

well, in all honesty, the article linked does say he turned himself in over an arrest warrant he had in tennessee, so that’s how he got arrested. Then he refused to leave his cell approx 96/hrs of solitary. Police went in, and he ended up dead. Story diverges here as to why. Police point to the Coroner’s report that…

I can get behind the idea, but it depend on how far tipped the scales are. Like, is the US a new N.Korea and New Colonia is really Wakanda? That would be...well...boring?

Id like to see New Colonia being a very peaceful nation with not but a small reserve army for defence, trusting the treaties with the US. Naturally,…

White guilt isn’t a thing for me. Some might cry over what their ancestors did several hundred years ago in the US, but mine didn’t arrive until just prior to WWI.

Accredited university or not, the Barbary slave trade did exist. The chinese, japanese, and koreans owned slaves at multiple various points in their…

I want you to google the Barbary slave trade.

First, I work overnight and dont read the news throughout the week. my first “day” off starts tonight, so I’m catching up a bit before sleep. what happened sunday? I haven’t seen anything yet.

Second, and this is a personal answer for myself. This site exists as a space for black people to speak about whatever they…

Reading things out of context is a terrible way to make an argument. In the context of my original argument “When Europeans landed in Africa, they pretty much took advantage of a system that was already in place.” was being used to demonstrate that africans did infact “imagine that any civilized human being could…
