Taking things from white people

[TheTexan]

So you have to make somebody else the enemy?

Black people aren't the enemy but the culture of violence that they live in and promote absolutely is.

Blacks are the only subculture in America where a person can earn positive social credit by committing random acts of violence.

Even the most vile, despicable white subcultures in America will look down on random acts of violence, e.g. sucker punching a grandma in the back of the head.

Similar to drug addiction problems in communities (white and black), black communities have a violence problem. As a country, we ignore it and enable this behavior, when it's clearly not something that should be tolerated.

People even refuse to even look at the issue because they don't want to be called out as racist, but yes - this issue is very specific to a specific race: blacks.

Other races commit violence, sure. But they do it for the normal reasons: mental illness, anger, greed.

Blacks commit violence for fun. (In addition to violence for normal reasons, the scale of which is high likely as an immediate result of the culture of violence they live in)

I can’t tell you how truly moved I was by this young man’s “poetry.”

Or, to put it another way, why the fuck is that barely literate drivel being honored as “art”?

I was personally moved by this young man's words of genius. I really related to the part where anyone can turn on a TV and see several kinds of bird

That WAS moving, wasn’t it?

The last line was cut short. I've edited the post to include the whole thing.

LOL. Did not see that

I wonder if anyone wrote a poem about "there is no good black people" if they'd get a $800,000 McArthur Fellowship

Appreciate the effort but I already read the whole thing on twitter/x. A lovely piece of free verse. So inspiring.

NOT.

Ice Cube "The people who one the labels own the prisons." That's who "promotes the prisons." The same people own the porn industry that's full of white people.

And?
It takes two to tango, temptations are aimed at everyone, not everyone gives into them, adds to them, and passes them on.
When a group stands out from other groups (while making an issue of itself being a group) that's on the group and any members who don't reject it, regardless of who else is at fault as well.

I understand it perfectly.

You sound like my wife: because I disagree, I'm a $#@!ing idiot that can't read plain English.

People, including you, are simply wrong on this: a mass shooting is a mass shooting.

None should be tolerated and all need accounting for.

Because it makes for very uncomfortable statistics, is not my concern.

A mass shooting in Urkaine is not the same as a mass shooting in Utah. I care more about one than the other. What you're doing is called deflection. Something bad happens in a white neighhood, rather than addressing it you go and find something bad happening in some other neighhood in order to cope. It's called "copium." J. "Deep State" Vance at least addressed school shootings by saying "Let's make the schools more secure." Your response? "Some black homeless people got killed in a mass shooting too." You offer no solutions to "your people" other than "Other groups have it worse." Sad actually.

But back to the real issue. Yes Magic Johnson asked black men to go vote for Kamala. Weren't you even the least bit curious as to why he singled out black men instead of saying "black people?" And he said Trump didn't keep his promises to black people in his first term. What promises to black people? All I remember Trump saying was "What do you have to lose?"



Of course his "58% black youth unemployment" statistic was inflated because it included high school student.



Still, Trump did undue the worst Clinton policy which was mass incarceration. And he was thanked for that by Democrats...until the first impeachment.

Ice Cube didn't take the money and isn't part of the problem. But if you want to go collectivist then you bear the sins of all of the white porn stars out there. Regardless, as usual, you missed the point. [MENTION=33245]TheTexan[/MENTION] was talked about who promotes a culture of violence. The actor / singer / dancer is not the promoter. Hell, it's in the job title "promoter."

That's nice. And this white man....

made this piece of "art."



Both were funded and "promoted" ( [MENTION=33245]TheTexan[/MENTION] and [MENTION=65299]Swordsmyth[/MENTION]) by the same people. Imagine that?

Sure, music is one part of the ecosystem of violence, I guess you could call it. Rap music, prison culture, gang culture, thug culture, it's all intertwined for sure and I'm not educated enough in the history of the origins of it to say what came first but certainly all of these elements of culture serve to basically reinforce each other and maintain the overall culture of violence I was referring to.

To the extent that white people have financial interests in these things, it's still not an excuse for thug violent behavior. Yes, white people condone this culture/behavior. Yes, white people profit off this culture/behavior. None of these things are valid excuses for committing violence.

With that said, I absolutely agree that white people should be called out for this shit. We condone it, we coddle it, and as you have pointed out, we profit from it, and all of that absolutely should be called out. Some people have, and continue to call that out. Not enough people do, and not often enough.

Regardless of the role that white people play in the black's culture of violence, it is ultimately the black's culture of violence. It is their culture, their communities, their people doing it. This blame cannot be shifted away. So yes, white people should be called out for enabling this shit. But it is black people doing it.

The culture of violence needs to be called out from every angle. As you've demonstrated, people are not afraid to blame white people for it. But people should not be afraid to blame black people for it either. Both parties need to be called out for their role in promoting it. Right now only one party (white people) is being actively called out - and not called out enough.

[MENTION=3169]Anti Federalist[/MENTION] mentioned the "poet" was funded by art philanthorpic foundation. The same is true of the "piss Christ" photo.

Okay. And yet when some white kid shoots up a school, certain folks coddle themselves with "But the black thugs are killing each other in the hood." As you say, not enough people call that out.

The difference is, no one is making excuses for the white kids who shoot up schools. They are universally demonized.

If people universally demonized black communities culture of violence, perhaps there wouldn't be so many black thugs killing each other in the hood.

Two separate foundations, as far as I can tell.

Deflection is simply making excuses by another method.

Again, who's funding it?

All part of the same club though.
