Other than Ron Paul and his son, I’m no fan of the republican party, but that being said, I agree with Fixed, the democratic party have completely lost their shit.
This’s not how you fight the opposition in a free democracy.
They’ve basically been having a 3-4 year long temper tantrum over what?
Nothing.
Republicans are corrupt, democrats are corrupt.
Fake accusations (Christine Ford, Russian Collusion), fake caravan, fake virus, real lockdown and now race riots and martial law in the middle of a pLandemic.
What’s next, assassination, coup?
I’d say accept your loss and move on, accept the fact that 50% of Americans didn’t want globalism (not that he lived up to his nationalist rhetoric) and so on, better luck next time, but it’d just fall on deaf ears.
If I hadn’t done the kind of emotional work I’ve done, I certainly can. When you pop, if you haven’t been in those shadow areas in yourself a lot, most men go physical and any resistance near them feels like it started the fight: a wall, a chair, a woman, a store, even a child. The lockdown, with masks unemployment social distancing rules dystopian voices on loudspeakers and signs - iow the unconscious is getting panotipticon dystopia triggers, total control triggers, economic triggers and reduction in movement options. That is a formula for explosions. And I would guess they know this on the policy end. This does not excuse what they are doing. They should have done their emotional work. But it is inevitable at a statistical level.
I suppose I want to keep the primary blame on those with real power. You will never find them out on the street or even debating in Congress. They are not compressed into little balls of pain and frustration. They just want more stuff and power over people and the chance to get off on fear.
If it weren’t for my personal connections with CIA, KGB, Mafia, Yakuza, Dead Rabbits, The Guardian Angels, The Hell’s Angels, Charlie’s Angels, Visiting Angels (it’s an assisted living service for old folks) and various deep state officials, I’d be assassinated for giving you the following information.
The George Floyd incident is an elaborate hoax designed to help spread the virus through the proximity of the protesters. Floyd, family and everyone involved are paid actors…
As far as the discrimination against the blacks is concerned, neither republican nor democrates can check or end it. As of now, no polital leader from either party in the US has the guts or capacity to end it. And, above all, not even this ongoing protest of blacks can end it, no matter how long they continue to protest.
There is only one way to end this systamatic racism in US, And, that is to somehow persue the white majority to actively participate in the agitation.
Only and only the white majority can solve this issue. This movement has to be a predominately white movement in order to be succeed. As long as it remains the black movement, it is bound to fail, sooner or later.
Now, ther are only two ways to engage whites actively in this. First, they come by themselves considering it their moral or ethical duty. And, if they do not, the blacks have to make the life of an average white difficult in US. This solution is not easy and needs to go far beyond what a protest means. There should be so severe unrest all across the US that the whites would have to think that they cannot take it anymore and it has to be stopped. Only when this stage is reached, white majority will force their leaders and legislators to address and end this. Something like what happened back in Sixties.
The same apples to this gun issue. American entablishment will never enfore gun control, no matter how much people shout for it. But, believe me, it can be end in a single day. All that is required is a protest of 1000 non white armed men with asalt rifles like what we saw white armed men doing when Trump asked them to librate their respective states from the democratic governors, and, the very next day, the legislation for the gun control will be tabled in the house.
According to all demography studies about the US indicate that US will become white minority country sometime in 5th decade of this century. Many would be not be aware of the fact that even as of now, as far as 18-20 age group is concerned, Whites are not in the majoriry but in minority. it will take about two more decades to reflect this in overall population. When this happens, the discrimination towards non whites would end automatically.
South Africa
Rwanda
Colonialism in general
Southern US pre civil war in many parts, certainly rurally.
Even with places like Iran, you have a minority meme - a specific take on a religion, a foreign one - take over.
There are many examples in history of tyrannies of the minority, where one ethnic or religious group has power over a majority. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoritarianism
In fact, I think this is the general state of things today, though at that level it is not running on racial lines.
All that is true but there is a very important difference as far as the case of US is concerned. All those countries are not democracies but US is thus the change in the demography will surely reflect on the political and societal landscape.
It’s possible, but I don’t see the US as a democracy. It’s an oligarchy. Wall st. has to approve you to lead. And that’s not even getting into the darker stuff going on. So we get to choose between Wall st candidates. That’s not democracy. Some of Congress may not be approved by wall st., but those people are a minority, a Bernie Sanders, say. They have to latch onto one of the two Wall st. controlled parties to have any effect at all. Then you have lobbying. And the incredible power of the military/intelligence/industry blob. In a certain sense none of the oligarchy power players really care much about race, but they are extremely white. The real players use racism to play people off against each other, however. So even though they just care about power and not race, they use racial tension and I see no reason for them to stop once the minorities as a group are not the majority.
Projections for 2045…
I don’t see why that would make a significant different. A political party with that percentage can easily ally with one of the other groups and still radically dominate (in parlimentary systems for example). Especially if they have the bulk of the wealth and power positions.
But the main issue is whether this would end racism. I could see factionalism increasing or decreasing with such a shift.
There is no discrimination in the US.
Blacks are more likely to be killed by police officers of all races, white, brown and black, because they commit many times more crimes than other races.
The vast majority of blacks who’re killed are armed and dangerous, just as the vast majority of whites who’re killed are armed and dangerous.
Only a few unarmed and undangerous blacks and whites are killed by police officers each year.
What’s happening in the US and around the world, is liberals and neoconservatives lost a lot of ground to nationalists and populists like DT, Nigel Farage, Jair Bolsonaro, Marine Le Pen, Matteo Salvini, the Visegrad Group and to a much lesser extent progressives.
Instead of accepting their loss gracefully they’ve switched from liberal and neoconservative ideology to full blown communism and technocracy.
Covid is fake news and so is racial discrimination.
They’re using these fake crises to wage war against nationalists, populists and even some progressives and bring in agenda 2030 by any means necessary: assassination, civil wars, whatever it takes.
They want global government, a communist, technocratic dictatorship and the 4th industrial revolution.
The US has a higher murder rate than Canada, Europe and Australia not because it has more guns but because it has more African Americans (I’d say because it has more blacks, but black immigrants like Nigerian immigrants tend to be less violent than African Americans).
So the article admits the vast majority of blacks killed by police officers were armed, more than 99%.
It also concedes white police officers are no more likely to kill blacks than brown and black police officers.
So the problem doesn’t appear to be wHiTe SuPrEmAcY after all.
The article goes onto conclude cultural bias is the problem.
My conclusion is different.
The problem is blacks are many times more violent than nonblacks.
So let’s say a couple of black men are innocently killed every year.
How is that an epidemic?
It ain’t.
Thousands or millions constitutes an epidemic, not a couple or a few.

I mean, this is just weak shit. First James Baldwin is not advocating violence, nor is he likely speaking about himself, being a gay man. But jeez he is talking about an angry fantasy. I get angry fantasies about hitting people and worse for their driving,f or example. Baldwin and the other two, grew up when they were denied voting rights systematically in many parts of the US, there were still lynchings, systemtic abuse of blacks by police and every facet of the government was the rule, peaceful protesters were beaten and worse, blacks were not served in many places, including in the North of the US. A black man flirting with a white woman was in more danger than a white man sexually assaulting a black woman in many places in the us. A drug war had been set up specifically to attack the black community. That was why it was set up. That was the motivation, not any concern about drugs. And the media/entertainment was telling this people they did not exist were animals were morons systematically. Anyone who thinks they would not have fantasies of violence in that climate
is
lying
or introspectively retarded.
Baldwin worked with non-violent organizations, wrote and worked with white people, and he could fucking write. He works as an example of a literary figure, but not as some justifier of violence. Read the damn quote again.
Cleaver is hardly a literary figure. I read soul on ice a long time ago and while he can write well it contains a lot of idiocy. And hey the guy also said the police should NOT be criticized for use of excessive force and in the latter part of his life he became a Conservative Republican.
Amiri Baraka is the only decent example and he should not have gotten the respect he did, including the respect of the white community. He was not a great writer, but was treated as such. Of course sexism and rape fantasies are hardly restricted to blacks. He later moved away from his sexism and racism.
It’s like three random quotes out of context by three cherry picked black people and it’s as if the intellectual black community was pro- black men raping white women.
It’s just crap.
Most people think that the results of black treatment should have slippled out of black families and black people long ago, usually they jump back to the Emancipation Proclamation and think, things are fair now or worse they are unfair the other way. And why is there crime and problems in a community that has it on equal terms, look at the Koreans.
This is so naive it’s a joke.
In my family the results of WW1 caused shattering problems while I was growing up. A grandfather who was in the trenches and his PTSD and lung damage from gas, directly led to serious problems in my generation and the next one. (and the way blacks were treated in the US in 1917 was systematically abominable). EVeryone thinks they would live the lives of other people better than they do while having not the slightest understanding of how even a single sexual abuse event can unravel things a couple of generations down the line and more in middle class white families or those of any other culture.
it’s just tut tutting back seat driving ignorance, with the implicit claim that ‘I’ would have gotten over stuff better.
And of course 1917 and the emancipation proc were not the end of systematic abuse.
Slavery ended about 1865 and segregation about 1965.
The former was preceded by the civil war and the latter by the civil rights movement.
Since the 1960s blacks, other minorities and women have had some preferential treatment.
Virtually no one alive today knew anyone who was enslaved.
By 2065, virtually no one alive will’ve ever been segregated.
For just about every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.
But social (re)action is a lot less straightforward than material (re)action.
The civil war and rights movement were backlashes against slavery and segregation.
Today, many of those to the left on these issues imagine more will eventually be done till blacks, other minorities and women are equal with whites in every way, or all the ways they consider to be important.
But what may happen instead is as slavery, segregation, colonialism (or settlement) and the patriarchy (or chivalry) grow ever more distant in the human psyche, whites and men may get increasingly fed up with preferential treatment for minorities and women.
There’ll be a backlash against the backlash and a backlash against the backlash against the backlash and so on.
In the late 2010s and early 2020s, I think we’re seeing some of this play out already.
Only time will tell for sure exactly where it’s all headed.
