If you are over the age of forty, the current black riots seem like another bad remake of a bad movie from your youth. You can appreciate how the young and stupid may be fascinated by it, but you know it is just pointless destruction by people who are over indulged and terminally ungrateful.

You had me until this pompous fucking bullshit:
"by people who are over indulged and terminally ungrateful."

Before anyone responds, look at these and get fucking schooled, then come at me clowns and get schooled some more:

The greatest threat to black people isn't the police, it's other black people. That's what would be being addressed if black lives actually mattered to BLM. See http://heyjackass.com it details the American carnage of what blacks do to other blacks. Note the only number in single digits: police involved shootings.

WRONG

The police is only A FRACTION of the systemic injustice oppressing Black people - and immediate physical violence from anyone of any colour or any class is NOT the only threat they face.

Social engineering controls a lot of where Black people are allowed to live - and in those regions it's often a food desert. Getting loans for small businesses or home investments is often unheard of in Black communities. This is paramount to racialised economic sanctions and I'd even say economic warfare. The rigged justice and prison systems are an entirely other beast.

The ENTIRE SYSTEM is not fair.

I've seen HeyJackass.com and like it. A lot. But it's FAR from the entire picture.

You can move wherever you want. Come on...systemic injustice? Gimme a break. The Rohiringa in Burma are facing systemic injustice. The Uighur in China are facing systemic injustice. Black people in America don't even crack the top 25. There are literally racial preferences written into US law.

You could open a chain of fresh fruit stores in bad neighborhoods. But you won't, because the local residents would welcome you with constant robberies whenever they need money, and wouldn't buy fruit in the first place.

Actually, I am white and I CAN'T move wherever I want and can't afford it even if I wanted to (I wouldn't mind a better place). I scrape by every month.

Give me a fucking break.

Systemic injustices don't need to be on your top 25 to be validated. Regardless, in the "wealthiest nation in the world" it's well beyond hypocrisy not to properly deal with this and countless other systemic problems.

" There are literally racial preferences written into US law. "

And there are no shortage of examples where it claims to serve one purpose and does the opposite.

" You could open a chain of fresh fruit stores in bad neighborhoods. But you won't, because the local residents would welcome you with constant robberies whenever they need money, and wouldn't buy fruit in the first place. "

That's some Grade-A racist bullshit there if I ever saw it. I used to live in East Oakland motherfucker, and there were areas where there were fantastic fresh markets and areas where there weren't and it had NOTHING to do with robberies.

You're a full of bullshit racist contrarian shill and we all fucking know it.

Sigh. It doesn't literally mean you can move to Beverly Hills. But you knew that. I notice this a lot, people will restate arguments dishonestly and then attack the strawman they just created. It's why we have the pyramid of debate.

This doesn't even merit a blip on the malev-o-meter compared to real injustices. I thought we always judge American problems by worldwide standards? Are we not doing that anymore? Just like social distancing suddenly disappeared?

Oh look, a social justice type is losing an argument and responding by calling the other person racist. How unusual.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Sigh.

I'm not talking about Beverly Hills. I'm talking about finding a place where the winter heating doesn't vibrate my apartment subsonically, upset my sleep, and make me nauseous - and is within my budget. But since I can't even afford to move there's no point looking until I can.

You are now clearly arguing dishonestly by even suggesting that I am not. Further, you bring up the Rohingya [sic] in Burma as whataboutism that has nothing to do with the American systemic corruption, unfairness, and oppression, though is has a place in global systemic criticisms Burma is not even mentioned in your article. (I had actually considered bringing up the First Nations but figured it was not apt as they weren't currently rioting so far as I know of.)

Restating my correct position is not attacking a strawman. It's you trying to justify your pathetic position with poorly applied talking point jargon.

" This doesn't even merit a blip on the malev-o-meter compared to real injustices. "

Then your sense of right and wrong are completely fubar and you would know evil if it tried to face-hug you like in Alien.

" I thought we always judge American problems by worldwide standards? Are we not doing that anymore? "

Another bullshit tactic: You're saying this as if it's common practice and well known. Just keep moving the goalposts wherever you want and hope no one notices. This has nothing to do with social distancing, but you threw that in to distract too.

" Oh look, a social justice type "

A desperate attempt at mudslinging. I don't have to be a SJW to call you a racist. I wouldn't mind if you were simply racist. But you are a bullshit racist. Further, I'm an admin (whatever that means) of InfoGalactic, founded by Vox Day, author of "SJW's Always Lie." Now why would they make me an admin if I was an SJW?

" How unusual. "

Is it? Really? I expect you get called that quite often.

You lose and your racist bullshit doesn't just stink it's terribly pathetic too.

Huh? Vox Day, the alt right racist? And you're calling others racist? I'm so confused.

Racist, racist, racist. Racist. Racist. Raaaaaaacist.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

The one and the same. I hang out here on SaidIt among racists too. I'm also an atheist but there are plenty of Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Jews (under cover or not) and whatever else here. Doesn't make me guilty by association.

I'm on InfoGalactic, not for their strong conservative, racist, or anti-SJW views, but I'm there for the freedom to write articles about James Corbett, etc for which I was kicked off Wikipedia for a year. I wanted a deep-wiki with free speech. Sadly it was the only one. WikiSpooks is good but it not remotely as deep, and I still prefer the Wikipedia format. Like any site, IG has limits and flaws and strengths too. Vox Day founded IG, but I have yet to see him on there, and no one but me seems to bother to update his page when I find a nugget of info to add. To be honest, it's all been very peculiar there.

You'll just stay confused until you figure it out. I won't always be there to school you, but I hope someone does.

If you got a table with one nazi and ten people talking to her, you got a table with eleven nazis.
