Love this thread, it tickles me How 2 relatively “new members” have hijacked it!
And yet they’re spouting the same shit they have for years on end! Fucking boring.

Why would one not tell the truth about something too, Dennis? I mean just one case in point is HIV infection rates in the US which you again brought up in a thread about Sweden.
How could I be banned for citing what is on something as anodyne as webmd for goodness sake? Truth is not bannable. I am treating no individual different based on race, but am just pointing out a statistical reality since you yourself brought it up as though it is wild extremist talk.
Black women are 4 times more likely than other racial groups to be infected with HIV. Is that a problem for you? It should be. Is it my fault this reality exists? I would prefer it not to be the case and for people to display more agency, but it is what it is. It makes you uncomfortable, not me.
Again, if you want that discussion, then how about starting your own thread instead of hijacking others? You cannot handle reality and I am sorry about how uncomfortable that is for you. Facts are not feelings for me. I have no emotional investment in it like you do. I just state what is.

Well if you're tired of black ppl like me bringing up race then there’s an easy way to solve that problem.
Do the work yourself.
If whites were willing to stand up and condemn the racism in your community then blk ppl wouldn’t have to be the ones leading the rally.
But that’s the problem: most whites do nothing in the face of racism. Most don’t speak up, don’t talk back, don’t challenge family, friends, colleagues. It's white silence and collaboration that has always made racism possible.
Exactly. Gandalf will google search a link and claim that's the truth.
It's the US and THEM way of thinking most white supremacists have.
Us: We are better than we are (collective self-esteem), our shortcomings are due to circumstances (attribution error), we got to help each other out (in-group favouritism, the main cause of discrimination, not any sort of out-group hatred).
Them: They are all alike (out-group homogenization), they fit stereotypes as proved by selective sampling (confirmation bias), they are worse than they are (out-group derogation), their shortcomings are because they are (ew/gasp) one of Them (attribution error).
When these lines become part of the culture they get passed down by parent and teacher, becoming part of “the way things are”.
There are plenty of white people who do exactly what you are asking of them. They are typically people in academia and media and the public too. However, I don't happen to think, for example, that it is anything to do with racism why black women are 4 times more likely than other groups to have been infected with HIV. I mean you brought that up as an example of me being Mr Mean.
Do you think I owe you an answer to everything when it was you who took this thread off the rails? 👀
This woman is an academic doing the thing you endorse and which I find pathetic.

Then there is The Guardian you can read everyday with constant minority worship. Then you have the law to protect and nurse you too.
There are no discrimination laws where I am. You have to land on your own two feet and make your own way sometimes. You do not see X, who I have tremendous respect for whining like you do all the time. Pull yourself up. Or if as you have argued, you are doing very well, then what are you complaining about?
Canyou really post about nothing other than this stuff? Is there nothing more to you? Are you reading any interesting books these days? That's a nicer question.
God bless you miles you still bother with that guy. This place is losing the fun that was left. We got Brock back all he wants to do is set up arguments and report posts. I guess that’s fun for some but it’s just a bummer seeing what’s happening. I still think the mods should unlock brocks account
The woman on the link isn't white. She's bi-racial. She clearly has a black mother or father.
All she's doing is calling out racism and good on her. Genocides unfold in eight stages. Stopping it at any one stage, stops the genocide from going forward.
The first people killed in any genocide are always those in the mainstream who speak up for them. Now the message of hate goes unchallenged.
Racism grows and feeds off a culture of silence. The point of calling out racism is to break down that silence. It does not matter if she persuades anyone, it does not matter if she “wins or loses the argument”
What matters is that she was heard and planted that seed in people’s minds “Hey, maybe this is not right.” What grates you is black self-determination: the right of black peoples to define their truth, and to stand in that truth without apology.
And you know what is pathetic ?
In this COVID era whites who think that not being able to get their hair cut or get seeds to plant flowers in their gardens or not being able to play golf is fascism. Yes, that’s a thing.
You know who doesn’t think that way?
Black people.
We don’t typically have the privilege of thinking it’s oppression if you can’t go to the beach and exercise your way around town while drinking beer.
We complain about systematic racism.
Women and gays are minorities. There is no minority coalition. Many Asians, Non black women and LGTB folk are just as anti black in their views as you.
Also one thing you'll notice with the guardian and their race section were they post example of white racism is that they never talk about punishment.
Yeah sure they post topics about the racial wealth gap, housing gap, police brutality.
But they don't talk about punishment. See when blk ppl fk up. It's all about punishment, laws, jail......punishment, punishment.
What laws do black ppl have to protect us ?
You've just written a post whining. Whining about the guardian. Whining about some women on TV calling out racism.
And you could have said that 55 years ago. 55 years ago you had Muhammad Ali, Sammy Davis Jnr, Diana Ross, Louis Armstrong they all had money. They were all doing well (what ever that means) but we had MLK and Malcolm X and the USA was going through a civil war with the civil rights demos up and down the country.
I've said many times. I joined Saddo in 2005. For the 1st ten years I stuck to boxing topics. Secondly there is no boxing at the mo if you haven't noticed. So other topics I'm gonna write on. Finally this coming from you who has written 50 thousand posts. I reckon since 2005 I don't think I've written more than 5 thousand posts max.
