We need to sterilize Ana before she reproduces. We can't allow her retard genes to be passed on. She's attractive so we don't have a lot of time - someone may be going down on her as we speak.



[edit] Nevermind boys, I just came across some remarks by her made in the past and apparently she doesn't believe in having kids! That's what I call a god damn miracle. If that ain't proof there's a god, I don't know what is.

- Are quick to scream "BLM" and blame all the problems within the black community on racist white police officers when around 90% of black homicide victims are killed by other blacks

87% of white people are killed by other white people too. That statistic is extremely irrelevant. "Black Lives Matter" doesn't mean that black lives are the ONLY lives that matter - it means that black lives matter too, ie just as much as everyone else's. Nobody's blaming all of the black community's problems on white people, but to deny the systematic racism in this country is just plain naive.

We should be taxing the rich more. America is pretty much a goddamn pyramid scheme at this point and the majority of us are at the bottom. That said, I do agree that there are plenty of government funds that could be pulled from elsewhere - ie the 50%+ of our budget that goes to military spending.

Obviously this will not "end poverty," but it's certainly a step in the right direction. Minimum wage is supposed to be the minimum LIVABLE income, not the lowest possible amount of money you can give someone without being sued. Times have changed, prices are heavily inflated, and it's time that wages change to match.

Realistically though I do assume that this will end up creating many more "temporary" and "part time" jobs, but I don't necessarily consider that a bad thing. It means there would be more competition in the workforce, which would mean that only the best workers actually stay employed and keep their hours every week. If you want a pay raise, you need to be willing to work and compete for that money.

tl;dr america is racist and systemic racism is destroying blacks, we need to take as much of everyone else's money as we possibly can and more socialism and handouts encourages competition

where do you live bruh? because it certainly aint in reality xD

Yeah because a wage hike was the only thing proposed by the left, right boys? Do I have to go down the list? Because it's kinda long.

Systemic racism isn't "destroying blacks,"

Exactly. And literally the first sentence on the BLM website's "guiding principles" page reads

"Black Lives Matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise. It is an affirmation of Black folks’ contributions to this society, our humanity, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression."

BLM believes that black people can't get ahead because of systemic racism, that they are being hunted down on a regular basis by white police officers ( when, as I pointed out, it's blacks that are hunting other blacks on a daily basis, and no, this is not an irrelevant statistic, this is of the utmost relevance ), that they deserve slavery reparations( LOL ), and that destroying local businesses ( some owned by OTHER BLACKS ), attacking white people at random and killing police officers that had nothing to do with the any of the incidents is somehow a justifiable response to the injustice they insist is happening.

BLM is one of the most sickening, hypocritical, ignorant bullshit movements of our time. What's even more hilarious is when people not even within the black community just lap up the race baiting like peaches and cream oatmeal and march alongside the savages without even knowing what's happened. I'm from the ghettos of Detroit, Michigan. I spent the first half of my childhood growing up in a rundown apartment complex next to a liquor store. I remember being about 5 or 6 years old hearing loud noises coming from outside and my Mom telling me to "get down" - only to realize later on in life, those were gun shots I was hearing or more importantly, blacks killing other blacks. So no, I don't entertain, even for a second, the moaning and griping about "white folks did this" and "white folks did that" and "Trump wants to send us back to Africa" ( that's an actual quote by a BLM member btw ).

We obviously have a fundamental difference of opinion here and that's OK.

We have a different awareness of reality. You know, there's certain places in the world that you can move to if you want more socialism. You can try Greece for example. You can have all the promises and taxes you want there.

You don't have to be an asshole all the time, you know.

Right, the first response by everyone on the left as soon as you tell the truth. "Quit being an asshole." I'm surprised you haven't said "quit being a racist" yet.

Or any country that does democracy better than the US. They're bound to lean toward the left and function better as a society as a whole.

That's a fun reality for you.

Socialism works.

It is not a fact. Black people are not poor because of systemic racism. What you're insisting is that there are white educators, white officers, white judges, mayors, etc. all working together to keep the "black man down", and absolutely no such thing exists. Instead, the only "proof" you have to present is "unarmed blacks are killed at 5x the rate of whites" which doesn't take into the account why some of those "unarmed" suspects were shot, i.e. reaching for the officers weapon, attacking the officer with their own equipment, hell, some blacks even get shot by stray bullets from the officers and this is added into the overall "unarmed black killing" statistic and purported by BLM to be "racism". More whites and Hispanics are killed by police than blacks are, and 40% of all cop killers are black, but BLM is never going to point that out to you. Those are the other "clear cut statistics" you were looking for.

Blacks are not in poverty because the white man is forcing them to. Statistics also show that the majority of rich people earned, not inherited, their wealth. This means that whenever you see a black person driving a Rolls Royce, that person more than likely came from the exact same situations you claim keeps every other black person from succeeding in life - and if that's the case, why is that black man driving a Rolls Royce? If all these corrupt evil white folks are forcibly keeping black people down by just randomly shooting them for no reason, or tossing them in prison, and denying them the best jobs and homes and education, please explain to me how we ended up with well-off black people in this country. We have a half-black man who went to Harvard, became president and got 2 terms, but "there's systemic racism in America". When people like Jay-Z perform at concerts, their crowds are predominantly white, but "America hates blacks". In some of the riots, they were protesting supposed "racism" that was done by black officers or a department with a black police chief, so are black police officers and police chiefs working with the white police officers to kill or arrest all the blacks? I guess white people are also to blame when black kids don't graduate, and are encouraged by other black adults to join gangs and commit crimes, and are to blame for the alarming amount of single mothers in the black community too and the black fathers who don't support their children.

You know why blacks are in poverty? Because they don't do anything to change their situation. They are their own worst enemy. Everything is someone else's fault. The parents don't teach their children anything of value, the children grow up not knowing anything so out of ignorance, they make the same mistakes their parents did and the cycle of crime and death continues. Every white person could get on a boat back to Europe right now and tomorrow you'd still have blacks killing blacks in Chicago, not achieving anything in life, and they'd be arrested by black police officers and judged by black judges and would probably still be blaming the white man. No one is denying that there are racist people in America, but this story about how white people are somehow running around stifling blacks all across the country inhibiting us from going to school, working hard, creating a better future for our families and achieving our goals is an absolute fairy tale. I lived in the same neighborhood, went to the same schools, dealt with the same society, worked the same jobs as every other young black man in this country and I am who I am today not because the KKK members within the government forgot to gun me down on the side of the road, but because my parents chose to make better decisions and so have I.

My cousin who is black as well and in a gang was recently shot and left bleeding on the sidewalk and a police officer rushed him to the hospital where he recovered. A few weeks later during all the BLM ruckus, he posted a picture on Facebook glorifying the killing of the police and I couldn't believe someone who was rescued by a police officer not even a month prior to posting that could somehow hate cops, but this is the level of stupidity that runs rampant in this country. And this is why Trump needed to win, because his opponents are obsessed with political correctness, and would like to censor people like me who say "no, blacks are not being held back by whites, blacks are holding themselves back". There was a Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s because there was actual government-mandated discrimination and segregation happening. There's a BLM movement in 2016 because blacks who haven't achieved anything need someone or something to blame their failures on. If you want to improve the black community, it doesn't start with attacking white police officers. It doesn't start with legislation. It doesn't start with protesting the president. It starts with the black community. Blacks need to focus on improving themselves first. Even if they were entitled to slavery reparations ( they're not ), it's putting the cart before the horse. Get off your ass and work. Educate yourself. Think for yourself. Learn from the mistakes of the people who came before you. Raise your children. Help others. Be patient and don't give up.

There is no systemic racism preventing blacks from doing anything I just suggested here. At all. The problem is that they choose not to do it and until they start making better choices, there's nothing anyone outside of the black community can do to save them. Would you like to know how many homicides have occurred this year in Chicago? 725. Would you like to know how many killings involved a police officer?

10.

But apparently racist whites are the main reason blacks can't succeed in America. Has nothing to do with the blacks themselves. There'd be no crime and poverty if whites would just pay blacks the reparations they owe them, HURR DURR.

I want you to give me several examples of systemic racism holding blacks back. You can't just post a misrepresented statistic and think you've made an argument.

The BLM movement is not a response to actual racism and individual discrimination within society.

The BLM movement is a response to the worsening socio-economic position of the lower and middle classes and increasing wealth disparity in this country.

The race-war bullshit has been aggressively preened by the media to scare the majority of the population into watching more news and has has the unusual unintended side-effect of making the whites and hispanics in this country genuinely seem to think that things are okay economically.

The Baltimore riots are the end result of a city whose zoning code precluding buildings taller than 40 feet have resulted in a massive urban sprawl that is completely unsustainable. Gentrification, traffic, long commute times, obvious income disparity and borderline slave wages within the city center for those commuting for as much as 60 additional hours a month are creating underserved and volatile pockets of poverty at the fringes of the city.

The anger of black Americans is understandable, and should be mirrored among lower and middle class whites. However, I feel it is misguided and misdirected.

Instead, we need to repair our crumbling infrastructure. We need to adjust our zoning laws that are creating an environment ripe for the squeezing and seclusion of the lower and middle classes, and we need to address our complete and utter failure to understand that a livable wage for the lowest classes in our society is not an option. You can only neglect the bottom 40% of our society for so long before they start missing meals. Our society is three missed meals away from total implosion. All societies are.

Wealth inequality is the problem. Not skin color. Police are only a target in BLM's rhetoric because they are the protectors of landowners, merchants, and investors. Police exist to maintain the stability of a socio-economic paradigm, not a society.

TL;DR: Quit talking about race. Everybody is hurting pretty bad, and you can't just expect that every member of our society is going to be able to work their way out of poverty. There are too many predatory factors at work on our lower and middle classes, and that can be demonstrated by our ever-disappearing middle class.
