    The right keep banging on about "cancel culture" as if the powerful establishment elitists they adore don't have a long proven track record of cancelling people and things.

    🔵 The British state "cancelled" James Connolly by tying him to a chair and shooting him to death because he fought for Irish liberation.

    🔵 After WWII the British and Americans decided to "cancel" the main Greek anti-Nazi resistance organisation EAM because they were too left-wing, resulting in the "white terror" persecution campaign against the anti-Nazi freedom fighters, and the eventual installation of the brutal Greek military dictatorships of the 1960s and '70s.

    🔵 Between 1945 qnd 1975 the US government used the House Un-American Activities Committee to "cancel" the careers of thousands of people with left-wing views. The McCarthyite Witch Hunt didn't just ruin the careers of hundreds of actors and writers in Hollywood, it ruined the lives of vast numbers of ordinary people like teachers, academics, factory and construction workers too.

    🔵 Similarly the BBC conspired with MI5 to "cancel" the careers of thousands of people with socialist and other left-leaning views, implementing a blacklist of left-wing actors, presenters, and writers that lasted well into the 1980s.

    🔵 The British state "cancelled" the code-breaker and pioneering computer scientist Alan Turing by persecuting him for homosexuality to the extent of chemically castrating him.

    🔵 The US Olympics Committee "cancelled" the careers of 200m gold medallist Tommie Smith and bronze medallist John Carlos for their black power salute at the 1968 Olympic Games. Smith had just broken the world record, and he was never allowed to run in a competitive race again! The Australian silver medallist Peter Norman was also "cancelled" by the Australian sporting authorities for showing solidarity with the Smith and Carlos protest.

    🔵 For decades the British and American states have provided huge amounts of support to right-wing military dictatorships across the world (Cuba, Indonesia, Brazil, Greece, Chile, Cambodia, Honduras, Spain, Iran, Bolivia, Philippines, Portugal, Uruguay, El Salvador, Chad, Grenada ...) as they "cancelled" the lives of hundreds of thousands of left-wing people.

    🔵 The US attempted to "cancel" the singing career of left-wing activist Paul Robeson by revoking his passport.

    🔵 The US boxing authorities tried to "cancel" the career of Mohammed Ali by revoking his titles and withdrawing his boxing licence when he refused to participate in imperialist war-mongering in Vietnam.

    🔵 The British state "cancelled" the Miami Show Band by installing a bomb on their tour bus, then machine gunning the band members when the bomb detonated prematurely. They also "cancelled" the lives of 26 unarmed civilians on Bloody Sunday in 1972.

    🔵 The British and American governments supported Apartheid South Africa as they "cancelled" anti-Apartheid protesters with mass political imprisonment and outright murder (such as the letter bomb campaign that killed Ruth First).

    🔵 With the help of the UK government, eight of the biggest UK construction firms maintained a secret blacklist of trade union activist workers, that lasted between 1983 and 2009. Hundreds of construction workers had their careers "cancelled", just for arguing in favour of better pay and safer working conditions.

    🔵 In 2018 the Saudi regime "cancelled" the journalist Jamal Khashoggi by luring him to a Saudi embassy, murdering him, and dismembering his body. They've also "cancelled" thousands of civilian lives in Yemen with their campaign of war crimes, and genocidal starvation tactics. Britain and the United States continue arming this barbaric regime to the teeth, despite knowing perfectly well that the weapons they flog them are being used to commit war crimes.

    🔵 The NFL clubs have conspired to "cancel" the American Football career of Colin Colin Kaepernick for his protests against anti-black racism and police brutality.

    It's funny how the right don't give a damn about all the actual "cancel culture" that has, for decades, denied people their livelihoods, their liberty, their freedom of expression, and even their lives for their left-wing, anti-racist, and anti-imperialist beliefs ... yet they erupt into "cancel culture" outrage whenever one of their extreme-right ideologues gets their YouTube/Twitter account taken down for brazenly and repeatedly defying the community standards with racist hate speech, bigotry, bullying, promotion of genocide, and celebration of acts of extreme-right terrorism.

    The right absolutely adore posturing as victims like this, because once you've inflated your audience's victim complexes to the size of hot air balloons, it only takes tiny puffs of right-wing ultranationalist rhetoric to get them all floating towards fascism.

    Thus the latest extreme-right bigot to get themselves booted off social media becomes their latest cause célèbre, while the plight of the hundreds of thousands of people to have actually suffered brutal state persecution like political imprisonment, blacklisting, and death is completely ignored, because it simply doesn't fit their victimhood narrative.

    The right decided that it was a good idea to make 'not wearing a mask' into a political statement in the middle of a pandemic with cases soaring.

    The last couple of posts bring up right-wing extremism.... thus enhancing and supporting the opening post of this thread.

    Exhibit A... a quote from my opening post: "Extremists on both sides need to get a grip."





    Non-extremists such as "moi" can observe events without the tinted glasses worn by extremists on both ends. We usually can only watch in wonderment how people "rush to their assigned pole" to take up their weapons and commence fire.

    Another phenomenon that occurs with us non-extremists is that normally... extremists will pat us on the back when we lean toward their side on a particular issue.

    But lean the other way ever so slightly... and you become "ignorant", "the enemy", "polarized in the other extreme", "a hater"....... take your pick.





    I personally bask in my position as a non-extremist. It allows me the clear lens through which to look at everything and make informed, logical, productive opinions and decision.

    Hence my opinions on the current racial issues..... condemning police racial profiling and brutality, while being against the "knee-jerk" reaction of wanting to de-fund the police.

    Which is why I'm totally in favor of prohibiting the Confederate flags at NASCAR events, but caution against the indiscriminate and uncontrolled tearing down of statues.

    Which is why I would totally support grassroots racial equality efforts like reforming public school funding..... but completely scoff and facepalm at changing the Aunt Jemima brand name and logo.




    I'm gonna take the opportunity in this post to give all sorts of credit to Lyle, who although diametrically opposed to my views on many a subject...... has had the decency and even common courtesy to accept (and even "Like") some of the posts where I've stated my opinion in a well thought-out manner.

    Anyway, there's this bit of news now all over the media..............

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53371392

    "Goya Foods: Hispanic brand faces boycott for praising Trump"


    Seriously??

    Listen, I hate Trump as much as anybody. But to call for boycotts of Goya Foods because the company president praised Trump......

    That's just fucking ridiculous. What's this world coming to??

    Extremists on both sides need to get a grip.



    BTW.... before anyone has a heart attack.... I'm not minimizing COVID-19, as I hope the hyperbole is understood.

    With that said..... the pandemic will one day subside.

    Extremism will be with us forever.
    I thought it at first, but then again who knows how they got together- Did Goya have some goodies (cronyism) dangled in their faces? They will get sacked if they dont bow down. Just like with Blacks--Drumpf decides to participate in a loathed day by conservatives called JUneteenth day....in his 4th year in office...the year of election...Interesting how Goya was given airtime....during election year.
    People who side with this orange diaper stain are making out well from blackwater still getting goodies from Dubya to Drumpf. How could his daughter have gotten 18 patents from China -without him as president. Goya should look at how everyone who has gotten our tax $- all had to express loyalty.

    CEO Tommy Fisher of the Build The Wall who got a contract for $1.3 billion on their "Build The Wall" team, was a frequent guess on FOX. The very group that are now being disdained by the president claiming they built an eroding few miles of wall- Cause they wanted to make him look bad. I'd like to know how Goya & Trump hooked up.
    Stay away Goya, you might get burned making a deal with the devil's MVP.
    Everyone who gets a nice gesture from him has to do what Tito claimed (PRAISED HIM) Hispanics are a prideful people and won't accept a trinket from this fraudulent in Commander. Goya got the praise, not the people. I understand that when people stand on principle- those who are not that group can't or won't understand it. Besides its time for a new civilization where the temple of God (human body) is maintained by family. Make your own food. - side note, peruse this site and others and see how Trumpers, cons-serving narrative brag about having a piece of land to grow their own or hunt their own. How did we become a nation dependent on others to feed us? Goya can come and go. Store down the street from my mother has every Goya product one could want & they are adamant: Someone else can replace them.

    Yeah, I was on a site where a thread called Freedom Of Religion was questioned- but because I didnt go hate-lefty on them- I saw cancel culture and another leftist's responses to me. Insults and labels no substance. All because I had the audacity to chronicle the history of religious intolerance dating back to Patrick Henry whose claim to fame was defending Baptists against of all people: Puritans and asked- How was there ever Freedom of Religion here? Didn't eve desire to take on the claims of how Thomas Paine wrote of the African being enslaved was done at the hands of so-called christian. then he claime nay Christianized...they must answer to the Lord of All.

    That made me wake/woke or whatever sorrowful terms they come with as oppose to investigating- they slap a label on anyone they don't like or are to hateful, biased and shallow to engage in meaningful dialogue so just slap a label on - Cancel culture. Grown ass adults labeling folk & handing that thought process to their children. I have long here claimed what @Titofan is now stating- the worst is ideology- it allows a person to choose a side based on the philosophy- thus they can reject what is best for them simply because someone they have been trained to disdain took up the issue.


    🔵 The US boxing authorities tried to "cancel" the career of Mohammed Ali by revoking his titles and withdrawing his boxing licence when he refused to participate in imperialist war-mongering in Vietnam.

    & leave it to the biased to say- yeah well Ali was a racist. Skip the fact he has a Muslim as Angelo Dundee said- the Nation Of Islam never took issue with him & as a result he always got paid- unlike the Ray Leonard the Christian.
    Racism is no longer defined by unjust actions. Words are now sufficient.



    🔵 The NFL clubs have conspired to "cancel" the American Football career of Colin Colin Kaepernick for his protests against anti-black racism and police brutality.---And rarely let him speak- Just show him kneeling then add one's own commentary "Kapernick hate America, hates the flag...drag that son of a bitch off the field.

    It's funny how the right don't give a damn about all the actual "cancel culture" that has, for decades, denied people their livelihoods, their liberty, their freedom of expression, and even their lives for their left-wing, anti-racist, and anti-imperialist beliefs ... yet they erupt into "cancel culture" outrage whenever one of their extreme-right ideologues gets their YouTube/Twitter account taken down for brazenly and repeatedly defying the community standards with racist hate speech, bigotry, bullying, promotion of genocide, and celebration of acts of extreme-right terrorism.

    Nice way to word it.

    Thus the latest extreme-right bigot to get themselves booted off social media becomes their latest cause célèbre, while the plight of the hundreds of thousands of people to have actually suffered brutal state persecution like political imprisonment, blacklisting, and death is completely ignored, because it simply doesn't fit their victimhood narrative.
    It seems his worshippers either don't know or don't care that the first news org he branded as unfair was FOX. All because he was asked to respond on his infidelities. So the Crotch-Grabber in Chief just had to say- They were mean and nasty- so they kicked that chick off their FOX n Fool cast...AKAK canceled her career. Damn! This also happened beyond syndicated shows nationally down to a state level. Once Trump was declared winner & those who refuse to give in- were targeted by their own audience- if U can check out Charlie Sykes- he was the top dog in Wisconsin to fill in for Rush Limbaugh, whenever he took days off.

    The other guy was named Mark belling in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Belling gave in post @NEVerTrump & kept his base- Sykes stood on principle and said Hillary is no longer the issue- she lost, but he 'wouldn't bow down - so Wisconsin's conservative minded voters tuned out. He lost his job after 30 years of bashing liberals- His conservative career -canceled.

    Amazing how this is supposed to be fake, yet fake enough for Drumpf to want to buy the anecdote for a phantom virus. Phantom virus has Herman Cain putting on a Oscar award winning acting job- he can't be sick, Trump's secret service men also chimed in on the fraud, Ivanka's team claimed fraud- We got it too!! Texas governor now in on the con of -numbers are rising..let us pretend and fill beds with healthy people and make them look sick. Let's become fraudulent on causes of death.
    And the fake false media is so great at this con job, there are now nations who fell for it? And don't want Americans coming in? Now I know why Donnie the I need an advance on my inheritance Trump decided to stop Europeans coming in before China...cancel china from coming in- all that loot him & his daughter make with them goes on hold.
    Drumpf sent me a Donald Trump coronavirus guidelines---yet it is imaginary.

    A bumper sticker theology. an ideology that can fit on a fortune cookie slip. All they have to do is say oh, another woke, oh the cancel culture, oh the leftist...regardless that America's best our brass our colonels, commanders, Generals, former NSA, former advisors, current and retired conservative news pundits are now saying the same thing- he is unfit. Answer? Throw them all in one bin- liberal.
    Under his hateful minions none of us are allowed to have our own position- they assign us one.

    Somewhat interesting listening to those 2 Wiley Videos.

    I like when he pointed out:

    1. They combine race and class as deemed by society-in the hood, the ghetto.

    2. There was a time blacks couldn't think who they were- they were told and could not fight back all the way into Jim crow. If a person was 1/2 white 1/2 black you were still deemed as subordinate...so whites didnt have to be accountable.

    3. I bring up the condition because that is what the cause is about it is about police brutality- systemic oppression an racial discrimination.

    4. I started from the bottom- this country is capitalist- I am checking him because when you are black and poor is the heaviest.

    5.
    why is the middle class shrinking, why is the economic disparity.

    pt. 4 he mentioned Kappernick started speaking less and less. Wiley took issue with his Egyptian girlfriend speaking on his behalf. Well Jesus spoke on behalf of the whores, yet he was never a trick who bought cootchie. He spoke on behalf of those who had no voice. And then told his students to do likewise, so I am miffed at why he took issue with his woman speaking up. As he contradicts that statement in the 3rd part with the 4pt when he (Wiley) said he was speaking for those who didnt have a voice. Its ok for him cause he is extra dark and she is Egyptian? Sounds racist to me LOL!

    Yet Wiley at some point said on his woman helping:
    Which is fine- that she is helping...

    So he (Wiley) quotes Big Boi? A rapper. He is right none said they were leading the cause..well if they were leading- then she wouldn't have to speak up. Athletes or rappers or actors, but all of my heroes are branded as race baiters- those who sought & obtained degrees.

    Why question Kappernick as opposed to getting together with him- Jay Z...which Wiley quoted. When did conservatives respect a man like Jay Z who said he got 99 problems but a bitch aint one?
    A dude who allowed his woman ---to go on to the super bowl wearing Black Panther attire...did Jay Z comply? I read the responses here and elsewhere...the lot of conservatives had a problem- well Kap's woman didnt protest by wearing black panther attire, while shaking her ass to algorithmic digital beats, while simultaneously gyrating her vagina in the middle of the screen Not that I had a problem watching it- I had a problem on WTF was that supposed to solve? And did Wiley side with it? Or, was he silent?

    Jay Z has billions of dollars and does little for his people in any capacity to which is why the hood doesnt really respect him-

    While gives accolades stating Jay z helped out with hurricane relief, that is independent of the group Wiley is speaking on- blacks..
    When has that negro helped his own? Like lebron James who spent 8 million to open a school in Akron out his own pocket? That is doing for self, that is when a person has the right to speak indifferent on the positions blacks take that could be corrected. If you help? and make a mistake, it happens but if Jay Z doesnt help his own...who is he for Wiley to uplift?

    When Lebron opened that school- The POTUS called him stupid the same week...I wonder where was Wiley at then.
    Jay z knows his place. if he speaks on helping his own...like Dr.Dre, 50 cent , they all got mad loot, they know how to keep it..dont get involved with helping your own. And they have never..in the open. On the down low only.

    Jay Z said - we are past kneeling..meaning he was a black man checking a black man-when he said that. Did he say anything before we got to being past kneeling? What did this dude Wiley say when Jay Z rapped on a song claiming Jesus walked on water, but Jay turned the stove on & heated the water with the baking soda...aka crack cocaine?

    Lyrics like the devil is alive...how in the hell does that help the cause of blacks? Wiley wont talk on that either I imagine. Wiley- once you kneel and gained awareness...
    I ask awareness of what? Per Trump it is about hating the flag hating America. So back to Wiley - he said once U gain awareness it is time for action. I ask what action? And did Wiley help with that action? Jay Z? or did they stand on the sidelines and critique a somewhat decent QB who forsook millions...in spite of being 1/2 white or whatever...as if most of us arent mixed, but I digress.

    We are pass kneeling, monetize, materialize. well Jay Z, Dr. Dre, 50cent got the billions- but they know how to keep those billions: STFU & protest in song only.

    Wiley said get some legislation & policy going. Is this dude for real? As what? Democrats? Everything they put out as a bill is labeled liberal. Republicans? Shit, they had us from 1850-1960...and when it came time to assist with voting & civil rights, they didnt do a damn thing. So this cat is tripping.
    This government is long pass helping blacks or gender, they aren't even helping on issues of poor whites. it is now all about liberal vs conservatism, as the author of this thread said it best- extremism is the worst disease.

    Extreme ideologues on both political sides...and Wiley thinks legislation for the benefit of black people will be taken up, Yeah right.

    Wiley is right on this: You got to bring value...but every black that tried that loss their value. Why dont blacks help themselves & when one does, they are labeled as black nationalists, racists. Shun from all media.

    So we as blacks are stuck with rappers, athletes to assist, while the Ben Carsons, the Herman Caines, the Clarence Thomas' the Alan Keyes, Corduroy and Zirconium aka Diamond & Silk, they all had the spotlight and rather than bring that value- they used their spotlight to denounce their own...while FOX news propped them up as heroes for blacks.

    Ben Carson is HUD Secretary after having been head pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins after being raised by just his mother from poverty...."propped up" eh?

    Clarence Thomas grew up broke and homeless in Georgia ended up going to Yale and becoming a Supreme Court Justice...."propped up"?

    Herman Cain grew up poor in a single parent household and worked his ass off to wind up being CEO of Godfather Pizza and eventually ran for President..."propped up"?

    Diamond & Silk have made their own success on YouTube

    Alan Keyes was an Army brat who wound up going to Harvard. Surely he was "propped up" by the GOP to run against Obama in the Senate election in 2004, but as a speaker for "the race" no.



    In fact 100% of the people you've mentioned probably can't open Twitter without being called Uncle Tom's or "Coons" and why? They succeeded where others failed? They didn't need the entire system bent to their will in order to achieve what they did. That's the big fucking problem in "The Black community" it's that not only are you all treated like a voting monolith Blacks police themselves in order to keep it that way thereby wiping out any and all political power you could possibly muster because the Democrats have to do exactly 1 thing to win your votes.....and that thing is "not be Republicans".


    It's sad. Nobody expects any other group to vote 100% in lock step. Not Mexicans, not Cubans, not Gays, not Asians, not lefthanded people, not anyone, but black people...oh you had better vote Democrat or else you'll be called a "race traitor" by effete white liberals.


    That alone would have me wanting to burn down the Democrat party, but hey whatever. I'm an INDIVIDUAL it's the biggest minority group there is and I represent ME and I answer to ME and I'll have no-fucking-body dictate to me what is acceptable or unacceptable because it's my God given right......I hope one day to see such individuality, but right now I see effete white liberals attempting harass people into voting Democrat by FORCE.




    But perhaps I'm mistaken

    In fact 100% of the people you've mentioned probably can't open Twitter without being called Uncle Tom's or "Coons" and why? They succeeded where others failed? They didn't need the entire system bent to their will in order to achieve what they did. That's the big fucking problem in "The Black community" it's that not only are you all treated like a voting monolith Blacks police themselves in order to keep it that way thereby wiping out any and all political power you could possibly muster because the Democrats have to do exactly 1 thing to win your votes.....and that thing is "not be Republicans".


    It's sad. Nobody expects any other group to vote 100% in lock step. Not Mexicans, not Cubans, not Gays, not Asians, not lefthanded people, not anyone, but black people...oh you had better vote Democrat or else you'll be called a "race traitor" by effete white liberals.


    That alone would have me wanting to burn down the Democrat party, but hey whatever. I'm an INDIVIDUAL it's the biggest minority group there is and I represent ME and I answer to ME and I'll have no-fucking-body dictate to me what is acceptable or unacceptable because it's my God given right......I hope one day to see such individuality, but right now I see effete white liberals attempting harass people into voting Democrat by FORCE.




    But perhaps I'm mistaken
    No sir you are not mistaken you just see it from a perspective different than those who call them as you stated: In fact 100% of the people you've mentioned probably can't open Twitter without being called Uncle Tom's or "Coons" and why? They succeeded where others failed?

    Sellout meanings -once they make it- they deride their own, and don't come back. Now if you can't hear this coming from a black man telling you why I call these people sellouts (not so much uncle tom, that is a misunderstood label) but I digress. Our dissing of them is based on how they are so willing to insult their own on television. How they don't come back, heck I will say Carson on occasion spoke at a school or two, thats nice.

    You are talking about how they raised themselves, while I am saying only those that raise themselves up- by way of politics, specifically Republican are accepted by whites overall. Whereas the ones who raise themselves up and reject ideology aka liberalism or conservatism are also labeled.
    Just as you stated they are labeled as sellouts, well they label other blacks as militants, racists. Not race baiters so much, thats the Al Sharpton Jesse Jackson crew that fits that bill-they gets no love from me & my history here bares witness.

    Ben is sec of Hud -that which is derided as frivolous government agency- that allows people like Sean Hannity to make money off it. & how did he qualify for it? What skills? Take him out & not too many others in this admin. Ben Carson wants Americans living on housing assistance to put more of their income toward rent and he wants to give public housing authorities the ability to impose work requirements on tenants. That way, when it happens for those of color the response is: well a black guy did it. Funny how this is now an issue- 30 mil are out of jobs and we can let potential slum lords dictate to them.

    Same for Thomas, as soon as he was sworn in - he began to gut shit under Reagan with the caveat, well it cant be racist a black guy is doing it.

    Wanda from Jamie Fox and Shenaena from Martin are on par with what silk and diamond are seen by conservatives...until Trump put those chocolate piglets on his team. How could they have been successful otherwise? No skills, they act ghetto as hell, so now its ok when they do it? Why else were you limited in saying a success on youtube.

    Have you seen the way the crowds act when Trump forced those 2 unbuhweavable sows on stage? One can hear applause in the clip below, then when the camera pans look at their faces. They look disgusted! LOL! Some are even walking I guess to the concession stand or the restroom to throw up. Successful? They were kicked off FOX for saying the same stuff others say- nonsensical drivel.


    This guy here was also an internet Youtube success, doesn't mean he is ready to help a political figure!


    Alan Keys is so loathed today, when was the last time he had a spot on anyone's show? he came out during the rise of Rush and everyone got a nationally syndicated show but him. He was reduced to local radio.

    And heck to the yes him & Cain was propped up. Who here has had Godfather's pizza? and liked it? Oh, he is a CEO, well there is one for Dollar Tree as well, so if we go by how much they brought in, he isnt that special other than a black guy that votes republican, take away that conservative mindset and what good could be seen in him or Thomas?
    Remember now; when Herman 9-9-9 Cain was accused of having two affairs? No one came to his aid. And as soon as he dropped out, so, too did those 2 over-the-hill women dropped their case. He blamed the liberal media as usual.


    Remember; Herman was a success for deriding Obama, then given the chance to tell how he would have handled affairs- shows him in an agonizing several moments where he cant name a damn thing he would have done different. And he wasnt propped up by conservatives?

    In other words what African Americans do you respect that dont vote Republican? I would prefer something here from your past as if you have to initiate one now...IMO would come across as trying to make a point-just to be right as opposed to revealing that you dont have criteria of one needs to be a conservative in order for your to give props to persons of color.
    See, I can name many successful people who pulled themselves up. But if they dont hollar I am a Democrat -liberals call them the same shit Republicans do: racists, black militants.

    My purpose for responding to the videos is simple: Where are these people at in turn of blacks who get shot while unarmed? That is what Wiley claimed- Your videos showed Wiley agreed blacks are unfairly targeted. but said we are past kneeling, so where are these people at that you think are more than just props..aka props for conservatives because they met the prerequisite of downing Democrats/Liberals.

    where are these conservatives who agree with Wiley that we are past kneeling as opposed to claiming: "kneeling was a sign of disrespect of the flag and of the United States.

    Where are their dollars to go back and do for others as Lebron James did? How is opening a school not worthy of your respect?
    And shuffle butt Ben carson claimed Obama Health care was the worst thing to happen to blacks since slavery...yet 4 years later he is ok with keeping it? That's not a dude looking to be accepted among conservatives?

    He wrote in his book how he helped whites from angry blacks while in school, lied about a knife being thrusted into a belt buckle, to which we both know Trump clowned his behind Called him a sick puppy. Compared him to a pedophile, then hired him for Hud, damn. Clowned him like a damn fool.


    Last I ran the gamut on Wiley mentioning rappers. Why? Is that the best he can identify among blacks? or the best without losing the respect of right wing media if he names those who are neither left nor right?

    & claiming blacks have to be lock step with Dems is a conservative narrative. A lie. Who is going to vote for a party that rejected us in 2008 to have debates? Only Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee and 2 others showed. Trump may have gotten 29% of the Hispanic vote, but look at where they occurred, same as with Dubya states that overlooked their illegal status. Did blacks vote for Sanders and his free stuff agenda? No they didn't. And while the % was high for Hillary significantly less blacks voted in 2016, a lot stayed home, yet the conservative narrative omits that having individual such as yourself literally thinking we are forced to vote Dem as opposed to looking at how the republican's party has made inclusive for all the racist southern democrats that turned Republican. How does one show up at a rally next to a confederate flag? How does one stand next to thousands chanting lock her up- to minorities & Muslims.

    🔵 The British state "cancelled" James Connolly by tying him to a chair and shooting him to death because he fought for Irish liberation.

    🔵 After WWII the British and Americans decided to "cancel" the main Greek anti-Nazi resistance organisation EAM because they were too left-wing, resulting in the "white terror" persecution campaign against the anti-Nazi freedom fighters, and the eventual installation of the brutal Greek military dictatorships of the 1960s and '70s.

    🔵 Between 1945 qnd 1975 the US government used the House Un-American Activities Committee to "cancel" the careers of thousands of people with left-wing views. The McCarthyite Witch Hunt didn't just ruin the careers of hundreds of actors and writers in Hollywood, it ruined the lives of vast numbers of ordinary people like teachers, academics, factory and construction workers too.

    🔵 Similarly the BBC conspired with MI5 to "cancel" the careers of thousands of people with socialist and other left-leaning views, implementing a blacklist of left-wing actors, presenters, and writers that lasted well into the 1980s.

    🔵 The British state "cancelled" the code-breaker and pioneering computer scientist Alan Turing by persecuting him for homosexuality to the extent of chemically castrating him.

    🔵 The US Olympics Committee "cancelled" the careers of 200m gold medallist Tommie Smith and bronze medallist John Carlos for their black power salute at the 1968 Olympic Games. Smith had just broken the world record, and he was never allowed to run in a competitive race again! The Australian silver medallist Peter Norman was also "cancelled" by the Australian sporting authorities for showing solidarity with the Smith and Carlos protest.

    🔵 For decades the British and American states have provided huge amounts of support to right-wing military dictatorships across the world (Cuba, Indonesia, Brazil, Greece, Chile, Cambodia, Honduras, Spain, Iran, Bolivia, Philippines, Portugal, Uruguay, El Salvador, Chad, Grenada ...) as they "cancelled" the lives of hundreds of thousands of left-wing people.

    🔵 The US attempted to "cancel" the singing career of left-wing activist Paul Robeson by revoking his passport.

    🔵 The US boxing authorities tried to "cancel" the career of Mohammed Ali by revoking his titles and withdrawing his boxing licence when he refused to participate in imperialist war-mongering in Vietnam.

    🔵 The British state "cancelled" the Miami Show Band by installing a bomb on their tour bus, then machine gunning the band members when the bomb detonated prematurely. They also "cancelled" the lives of 26 unarmed civilians on Bloody Sunday in 1972.

    🔵 The British and American governments supported Apartheid South Africa as they "cancelled" anti-Apartheid protesters with mass political imprisonment and outright murder (such as the letter bomb campaign that killed Ruth First).

    🔵 With the help of the UK government, eight of the biggest UK construction firms maintained a secret blacklist of trade union activist workers, that lasted between 1983 and 2009. Hundreds of construction workers had their careers "cancelled", just for arguing in favour of better pay and safer working conditions.

    🔵 In 2018 the Saudi regime "cancelled" the journalist Jamal Khashoggi by luring him to a Saudi embassy, murdering him, and dismembering his body. They've also "cancelled" thousands of civilian lives in Yemen with their campaign of war crimes, and genocidal starvation tactics. Britain and the United States continue arming this barbaric regime to the teeth, despite knowing perfectly well that the weapons they flog them are being used to commit war crimes.

    🔵 The NFL clubs have conspired to "cancel" the American Football career of Colin Colin Kaepernick for his protests against anti-black racism and police brutality.

    It's funny how the right don't give a damn about all the actual "cancel culture" that has, for decades, denied people their livelihoods, their liberty, their freedom of expression, and even their lives for their left-wing, anti-racist, and anti-imperialist beliefs ... yet they erupt into "cancel culture" outrage whenever one of their extreme-right ideologues gets their YouTube/Twitter account taken down for brazenly and repeatedly defying the community standards with racist hate speech, bigotry, bullying, promotion of genocide, and celebration of acts of extreme-right terrorism.

    The right absolutely adore posturing as victims like this, because once you've inflated your audience's victim complexes to the size of hot air balloons, it only takes tiny puffs of right-wing ultranationalist rhetoric to get them all floating towards fascism.

    Thus the latest extreme-right bigot to get themselves booted off social media becomes their latest cause célèbre, while the plight of the hundreds of thousands of people to have actually suffered brutal state persecution like political imprisonment, blacklisting, and death is completely ignored, because it simply doesn't fit their victimhood narrative.
    Lots of ACTUAL Communists in your examples Beanz. Care to peruse their history or is it just Nazis or nothing with you?

    why would el kabong want to beat up an old gay guy?
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Is kind of fecked up. Goya finally manages to expand its store space locally and now you have it targeted for ‘boycotting’. And I’m not talking a full shelf either. Literally a quarter shelf stacked nice and neat complete with those awesome chickpeas and an owner guilty by association. In this instance we’re talking business ffs. The real shame is once again the aftermath and soap box fuckery out shines the actual political initiative that was being introduced. Though it was originally implemented by Bush each President since has boosted it up. Not to stereotype but now I really want some tacos.

    I bought a minimum of 10 Goya products a week for years and years. Everything from coconut water to all kinds of beans, squid, octopus, mackerel, you name it, I dont give a rats ass who the CEO votes for. I'll keep buying it.
