Hear me out.

Maybe, and this is just me.

We can talk about the fact that black people are marginalized, segregated and oppressed, and still talk about how other groups are those things, also.

Because, and this is important.

Not one person here has tried to say "NAH ONLY THIS ONE THING MATTERS", cept for the one bitching about how people are saying that (cough).

Nah tho it's better to rile people up and make us fight among ourselves so you can call yourself a "ally" and feel better when you sleep at night.

Meanwhile, when I sleep at night, I have to worry if the landlord might just EVICT MY ASS cause I exist in a way that displeases him.

Everybody gets the side eye now, elected an orange goon to be president.

2016 has shown that the only ones we can count on are each other. We got to do for ourselves, cause no one else will.

In 2 years when they realize they drove us away and cry, we'll still be here, sitting with the nod and the "I told you so".

2016, Bernie and this whole farce have sure shown me enough asses to rethink my worldview.

Say what you well about Trump and company, they let you know you ain't shit from jump. Better then having someone standing besides you saying "Hold up not now"

As you should be.

But of course, white moderates will misconstrue the bolded and not care for your opinions or voices. And continue to ignore.

I was one of those "middle ground" suckers. Even got banned cause I got... passionate about trying to have a dialog, and understand what would make members of that party say such hateful things, and how we can work together to make America united.

This dude makes me feel so foolish for thinking like that.

Folks still salty over Clinton and Bernie, minorities have already moved on to survival mode.

But keep with the purity tests and slap fights

In 2 years when folks are are worse off then they were, we will be here

Thats why I always advocated for us holding our own nuts. If others want to help out, thats fine, but our energy and time investment should be directed inward.

Ya'll sounding like dangerous Black radicals.... We do that we will be called Black separatists even more, lmao. Nope. Just stay where we is and hope our benevolent allies pull through......

[Frozenprince]

Hey we can trust our allies in key states like Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to come out for us and...

Oh.

 

[Enzom21]

Now, in hindsight it is an unwarranted inflammatory statement that could've been made is a much better and constructive way, and I apologize for that. But my sentiment still stands, it's a destructive attitude that focuses of the separation of exploitative systems obscuring the transversal mechanisms behind them.

So what is the more constructive way to complain about black people in a thread about a racist calling Michelle Obama an ape?

With allies like these you really don't need enemies.

Boney is not an ally and never was. There is an obvious underlying contempt for black people in all of Boney's post.

They clearly slipped up with the black nationalism post and now they're doing a pathetically transparent backpedal.
They even posted "You won't find any overt racism from me." nonsense.

2 years? serious question, weren't blacks already taking shots for not putting obama #'s on the board for clinton? cause that's 101 ally playbook (also see; BERNIE MARCHED WITH MLK AND WENT 3X PLATINUM WITH NO FEATURES)

Folks still salty over Clinton and Bernie, minorities have already moved on to survival mode.

real talk ive been thinking about just how much bullshit ya'll will somehow catch when automation really takes off, you know?
i mean, can you imagine what bold new welfare queen type shit will have to be created once conversations about a living wage start? the dissonance will be tremendous

I never intended to hurt the minority community who I spent years trying to help out of the cycle of poverty in our inner cities.

"I helped the blacks, come on I am not a racist."

I filled out the survey to send to a couple friends and forwarded it to them not realizing that I didn’t hit ‘forward’ I hit ‘reply,’” Paladino wrote. “All men make mistakes.

"I never meant to let everyone know I was a racist."

I bet Paladino hates black nationalists too... and by "black nationalists" I mean people not okay with his racism. That seems to be what Boney thinks we are anyway.

“I’m not leaving the school board, not when it’s time to help implement the real choice elements of Trump’s plan for education reform,” he wrote.-Paladino

Goddamn, I fear for those students.

Here's the link to his full statement: http://artvoice.com/2016/12/27/carl-paladino-apologizes/#.WGLFIJ9OlnE

It's a textbook "I'm not really sorry" apology. He actually looks worse by writing this drivel. It confirms he's an insecure, misguided, fool.

Why do people allow them to get away with this shit? I didn't mean for it to become public so it's not racist. How fucking racist do you have to be for that to be a sensible retort?

Woof, just read through Boney's interesting logic...

 

[MechaX]

My problem with the remark is that it positioned to undermine other forms of oppression; patriarchy, heterosexism, classism and a transversal ecological oppression. My problem isn't with raising awareness of racial injustice, but to position it as a superior moral obligation over all other forms of oppression.

Oh get the fuck out of here with this nonsense, man!

So many other people have said it before in the topic, but a group shouldn't have to, nor be expected to shut the fuck up just because another group is having an issue (if we are going to go with other minorities, each minority has their own separate and distinct history and struggle to contend with). Others were not trying to claim some superiority highroad or start some kind of Oppression Olympics; they were speaking on a very key racial problem that directly pertains to this very topic.

In my eyes, your rhetoric is no different than the bullshit rhetoric used by the staunchest of "All Lives Matter" supporters.

No, I'm not talking about "All Lives Matter" in the sense of "every minority has their own separate issues and each one of them should be given great weight, consideration, and attempted facilitation at a resolution with their struggles," because that would be what is supposed to happen. I mean "All Lives Matter" in the sense of "shut the fuck up about your problems, other people have it worse" without realizing that for all lives to matter, the lives of [x] group need to fucking matter first. Absolutely no minority group needs "allies" with this mindset.

It's more than anyone got when he got caught saying this shit while running for governor. You'd think upstate republicans could find someone better than this fuckface.

More like "Sorry, not sorry" because Trump emboldened the racists.

why can't this racist piece of shit just be fired?

I get there is freedom of speech and that is fine if people want to say racist things, but these type of people shouldn't be allowed to serve in office. If anything, it shows how little this country has changed since the Civil War. The only thing that has changed are the laws.

The majority of the people are the same as always. Can we get some laws passed so people like this don't hold these type of jobs? At the very least, he should be fired. His comments were so offensive, I thought it was 1917 not 2017.

 

[Ushay]

Racist piece of shit. What's worse is he is unapologetic about it.

Some of you are polishing the "sit in the back of the bus for just a little while longer" message that came out of the post-election season, but we still aren't buying your bullshit.

Hey, it's a step beyond that one lady who was like "I got hacked and someone posted this horribly offensive thing! (against Michelle Obama nonetheless)". Saying you got hacked is like the option select of dissociating one's shitty racist beliefs from them.

One easy to step to know a person is completely out of touch with black people.

So, has Trump condemned or admonished this guy's comments yet?

I'd say he's had more than enough time to find out about it and produce a response.

I wouldn't expect much from the guy who propagated the Obama is a Kenyan from the wilds of the Dark Continent bs in the first place. If anything him, his cabinet and his shit kids have been texting it back and forth with laughing emojis and the like.
