CNN, the Left and its Base are Complicit in the Current Toxic Atmosphere of Political Hate

I'm pretty sure the ones who need to watch it will see the TYT symbol and just outright dismiss it.

Another talking point from conservatives to counter the notion that majority of terrorist incidents in this country perpetrate from right wing extremism is black crime.

But there is a key difference between the majority of black crime and terrorism. The vast majority of black crime effects local poor neighborhoods. If you are not a member of these neighborhoods, the chances of a black individual murdering you drops down significantly. The vast majority of black crime isn't targeted towards a large group of people to send some sort of message. It's local often involving crime related offenses that impact only the local community. It's still tragic and needs to be solved.

You can't escape terrorism. Terrorism is what makes people paranoid of going into public tourist congregations like Time Square. Terrorism is what makes people afraid of attending a mosque or synagogue. Terrorism happens in public spaces where anyone can be a victim. You can't escape terrorism or the threat of it unless you are a hermit confined to your residence in seclusion.

 

I know you are not saying that. I was just saying what would constitute a racist reply, which you did not do.

As to the 1%. I work in education and I would say that 80% of your discipline problems happen with 5% of your students and that 80% of those problems are because of 1% of your total student body population (if that makes sense) so the numbers seem to be similar. Then you look at social circumstance, home life, and economic situation and you can generally pin down why those problems are coming from the 1%.

We should spend more resources to help that 1 % that are causing a disproportionate percentage of the problems we see in society. I am willing to bet everything I have that it would save us money in the long run.

 

We've seen even worse despicable rhetoric from right wing politicians and celebrities like Ted Nugent when Obama was president.

The difference today is that the President uses the same if not worse language and he is the leader of the country hence his voice has the most impact on tone of the nation.

This country would have gone to hell if Obama engaged with his deplorable type critics like Trump did. Imagine the degradation of society if Obama did that for 8 years. Imagine Obama calling Fox News "the enemy of the people". Imagine Fox News getting bombs in the mail from Obama supporters. Imagine the clash that would happen between the right and left.

 

Are we seriously seeing a bunch of far-right hand wringing about "racism" towards Whites? Really? Now I've seen everything.

 

But this is where the problem of figuring out how rather than merely what comes into play. Figuring out what needs to be fixed is fairly simple

 

Anyone who believes that certain "races" of people are somehow immune to being racists because of their "race," is very certainly a racist. And that is true regardless of what that person's skin color is, or what sort of self-serving explanation that anyone comes up with to try to excuse their racism.

 

You are beating up a strawman. It's not about whether races other than whites can or cannot be racist. Of course they can. It is about the IMPACT of racism. Of course there are anecdotes of whites being negatively effected by racism, but systematically at a national level? No, whites have been the net benefactor of systemic racism of our 300+ year history in North America.

A disgruntled black man living in Englewood barely surviving on min wage who thinks that all white people are out against blacks has little agency in how he can effect his racism onto the white population.

 

Just put a swastika on it and call it a day.

 

CNN, the left and its base...

Did the OP forget to mention the Jews who fund them all?

 

A bit rich to mention all this stuff after the Florida bomber, the Kroger killer and the synagogue shooter.

 

I agree, and this is why we elect officials who are supposed to tackle these hard issues. Unfortunately, they spend most their time trying to score cheap political points with readings of Green eggs and ham or they have a Spartacus moment. . . . When your number one concern when elected is to get re-elected you are doing it wrong.

The next problem is when someone tries to do something positive, people that disagree with it complain that it won't matter and others will complain that it won't do enough. What you have is both sides fault finding. I love Teddy Roosevelts quote " In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best is the wrong thing, and the worst thing is nothing." Our elected officials do a lot of nothing on this matter.

For the small percentage (regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation) of our population that create problems for the rest of us, we need to look for ways to help. I would rather us try and do the wrong thing and learn from it than to just do nothing. Now some on the right will say that's a waste of taxpayer dollars and some on the left will say it wasn't enough, but at least we tried. You will only learn from a mistake when you try.

 

So you just pointed out the murder number by black men while knowing that white men murder a lot too?
You knew white men are almost equally a threat but you tell us that " the real threat is black men", even more so than terrorism???

If blacks are 1% of the population, I will be living in a community with 1 back and 99 whites. According to the data, the white color and black color are posting about SAME amount of threat to me. The racism and the percentage game do not help. I hate racists and their every racism numbers, statements, conclusions and ..attacks.

911 is not just 3000 murder cases. It was more a crime on the whole nation. Americans should know it better, the loss and the pain....
Jewish people are murdered everyday, but the recent terrorist attack that took away 11 lives was more a hate crime on millions of Jewish people and the whole nation too. You don't give it a pass by distractions such as gun control, black men murder, mental illness ...unless you are with the racists.

 

Wow...

 

Dude, you are so full of BS that if you ingested anymore, you would explode. Don't think that I didn't notice that you just called me a "Racist." It just confirms what I already know. You are an incredibly ignorant person that I have no respect for. I'm someone old enough to have seen outright, blatant racism in action. I saw "Whites Only" signs outside numerous restrooms, including the restroom and change area at the "public" swimming pool of my local Southeast Houston city park. I rode on buses to downtown Houston with my grandmother to shop at the Foley's there, and the back of the bus was packed with Black Houstonians. There were often rows of empty seats between the Whites, which included us, and the Blacks. You clearly know nothing about racism, but you certainly know a lot about being a racist, because that's what you are. So are those who agree with you.

 

Again, anyone who believes that certain "races" of people are somehow immune to being racists because of their "race," is very certainly a racist. And that is true regardless of what that person's skin color is, or what sort of self-serving explanation that anyone comes up with to try to excuse their racism.

Nobody is exempt. Not even you.

 

Thank you for reaffirming my post, racist. Enjoy your ignorance.

 

What point? That you hold actors, TV anchors, and random Whataburger customers more accountable than the President of the United States? You've had multiple ridiculous threads blow up in your face. There was your tax scam stupidity where you got clowned on all these bonuses you claimed where happening, then your idiotic 2nd amendment thread where you clearly had no clue how easy it is for people to circumvent background checks, and now this thread where you whine about actors, TV anchors, and random Whataburger customers as an apologist to the lying, scumbag in chief. Just face the fact that you're a low information Republican pawn. I don't even think you know what a dog whistle is homie.

You use whataboutism to deflect from who you support and who you're an apologist for. You conveniently try to chastise everyone but the most powerful man in the world. It's false equivalence to a disgusting degree. I'd rather you just apologize now and learn your lesson than continue to embarrass yourself.

 

You can't explain it because you lack the capacity to do so.
