BLM/White Privilege/etc

[jesmu84]

Amen.   


And as I pointed out in another thread, Al would be proud.

What's the Venn diagram of folks who fond for a coach like Al vs folks who fight/argue against BLM?

[Elonsmusk]

White men are so damn fragile.

Some are, for sure. Those of you so easily manipulated by a radical, fringe "organization" like BLM.

Just a few minor corrections. I went to HS at school 30% black and very few of those were from Africa but I do remember there being huge arguments in history class because the amount of times African American students would trivialize the students from Africa's history (genocides, apartheid, disease, etc)

Yes, sometimes history is hard to look at.  For example, I had no idea how much London/England suffered during WWII.
My views of Winston Churchill, have recently changed immensely. 

In Italy I mix with a lot of Africans and they are very different from what I expected.  My provincial views are sometimes embarrassing.

Thank you for the details.  9 pages of comments is a lot to catch up on.  Nevertheless, I think I  got the picture.

How about a nice Dred Scott statue for their front lawn?  Don't we need to express our first amendment rights anong with our private property rights?

Oh, who in their right mind would live in a house like that?   Is it on the List of National Historical Sites?   Perhaps there is a preservation stipend involved.

Obviously he knows little abour weapons, his has probably never even been lubricated.

a lot of houses in that area of STL were bought on the cheap many years ago because the city was in such ruins. Just a few blocks north of there is Delmar Ave., the divide where it become really rough and considered one of the most dangerous blocks in the country. Thus the games. That house is worth $1.1 million. In my current neighborhood a 3 bed 3 bath 2500 square foot home is worth $1.1 million.

You're so easily triggered when I want to push your buttons.

Nice try.  You made a dumb comment - per usual - and try to CYA with a lame post.  Keep in mind, my kind aren't "triggered."  Won't find me at protests, marching in the streets, crying on election nights, #resisting.

no, you just claim persecution, claim taking down confederate statues and names from military bases is "erasing" your heritage, and scream "I want my country back."

I have a saying, "if it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true".   Talk to me in six months, and "good luck".   That's what they said to you at the Trump casino when they gave you your chips.

When Corporate America went multinational, when globalization took over, America changed forever.  There is no going back.  It is what it is.  Boeing has a lot of capacity to fill with orders from all over the world.  GE still has jet engines to sell, Kohler and CAT have opportunities to exploit. 

I could go on a rant about the ethnicity of the West Point graduates, but I'll spare you.  Get with the program, study up on the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, etc., etc.. 

Taking down statues is an irrelevant  side show.  Should have been done years ago.  Can't let so much pent-up anger explode all at once.

I don't disagree with you.  The performance of these 16 I picked exceeded my wildest expectations, and certainly isn't sustainable at this rate of appreciation.  However, the long play companies I listed have sound business models, management, moats, and should prevail long term.

The biotechs listed I feel have similar attributes, but are just much earlier stage, risky, and volatile.

You only take stances anonymously on the internet, not like those whiny real-life protesters getting beaten and tear-gassed by cops.

What's the Venn diagram of folks who fond for a coach like Al vs folks who fight/argue against BLM?

Ironically, I think Al McGuire would be all for having BLM on the uniforms.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Some are, for sure. Those of you so easily manipulated by a radical, fringe "organization" like BLM.

I don't think you know what fragile means, because you've been fragile before fragile was a thing.

But anyway, keep refusing to learn.  You do it well.

[Elonsmusk]

Even easier that time.

You continue to embarrass yourself trying to walk away from your dumb comment.  You 100% disagree with my viewpoints on BLM, and got owned while trying to make the snarky comment:  "Your opinions are as well informed as your stock tips."

Or, I guess you believe my opinions on BLM are massively correct, informed, and the right call just like my stock recs that have returned roughly 300% since March 19?

[Galway Eagle]

I'm Irish American, I carry an E.U./Irish and an American/USA passport.
I know my Irish and my Irish American history.

I must admit that although I grew up in an Irish ghetto, I knew very of my heritage when I was growing up.  After the war everyone was trying to be American, thru and thru.

In general I would say that most educated Blacks and Jews know much more of their history than the Irish, Polish, or Italians.

I don't see the point of this point, but it may mean something to you.

I wonder if they teach the history of Wisconsin in Wisconsin schools?  The Milwaukee Sewer Socialists, the native americans, the immigrations, the Union patriots, the industrial base, etc..  Probably not, it is all about the Packers, ha.

I hold one as well we've talked about that before on here, mom emigrated from Mayo. People like you (I'd assume are first or second gen) or I are not the Irish Americans I was referring to who don't know squat.

As for the second part the reason I included it is you said blacks. And I think it's often in America we think of all black people as being African Americans but there's Caribbean culture, African American, all the African cultures, it's akin to expecting any white person to know Slavic Or Scandinavian culture because they're white. Just trying to draw the distinction between black and African American.

Here's a wise idea:  Let me go run out in the streets, in a pack of anarchists, who set buildings on fire, loot, throw objects at me as a cop, taunt me, shout in my face (not social distancing) AND not expect to incur a potential negative consequence.

#brilliant.  About as logical as the BLM "movement."

Alright my favorite debate friends here - I'm out!   Happy 4th of July Weekend.  Be sure to NOT celebrate America, but instead continue to reflect on how awful our country is and how racist our Founding Fathers were.

Meanwhile lobby and protest for open borders, sanctuary cities, those in DACA - now all of whom are subject to the oppression and racist society our Founding Fathers invented.

Disappointing effort.
At the very least you could said "Love it or leave it" or sung a few bars of Lee Greenwood.

“Your kind” aren’t triggered? You seem pretty freaking triggered to me.

About as triggered as I’ve ever seen someone on Twitter. And THAT is saying something. Triggered AF!

Kind of like “whities” who walked into the Michigan statehouse with assault rifles and screamed in the faces of cops and were all murdered for it right? Oh wait. They weren’t even cited. Weird!

Congrats on the great success playing the stocks! Maybe you’ll be able to move out of your apartment that smells like piss and weed because all your black neighbors don’t give a damn because they were raised with no fathers and all murder each other!

Thank god. You’re the most racist, ignorant POS to ever come on this site. You act like you’re “hard” but you’re the biggest snowflake anybody’s ever seen.

I had two grandparents from Cavan, my fathers side came over in the 1840's.  A farm in Ohio, California for the gold rush, a shortline railroad, back to dairy farming, then nyc construction, rags
to riches to rags, the American way.

I fought the hyphenated American thing for years.  Now I just go with the flow, it is really one world.

Now it's time for the second shift. 

I've been watching Hannity, very unhinged rants and all very predictable.

Seems like he is playing catch up.   He is still running against Hillary, Benghazi, Foster, Ukraine and on law and order.

Hasn't he heard about the pandemic, demonstrations in the streets, the collapse of the economy?

He worries about a few statues, and a few burned out shoe stores.  Sad seeing someone behind the curve and in panic mode.  Very sad seeing an entertainer when his schtick is old and doesn't pack them in anymore.  He is like Glen Beck, old news.  Defending the indefensible.

Have a safe 4th, God Bless America.
