I just want to say this.

I think it is absolutely insane that people are now being punished and held responsible for events that happened decades and even centuries before they were born, while other people committing these atrocities on their fellow man RIGHT NOW are not being punished and held responsible for actions that are happening today.

When James Brown was singing about "The Big Payback", I don't think this is what he meant

Its funny how companies like Apple and Nike can capitalize off of this posting woke statements while they use people overseas who are practically slaves and I've never heard a peep from a black person about it. Don't Playstations require conflict minerals mined by child slaves in Africa? lol

these people don't give the slightest tit about actual, contemporary oppression/ slavery at all.

Of course, but surprisingly they are not afraid of losing Trumpist customers.

This is exactly it. Literally zero understanding that today’s moralities don’t apply in the slightest to events of a century or more ago, and that the ancestors of the people responsible for the colonial era, slavery, “genocide” of indigenous populations have absolutely nothing to do with those eras and events in history.

If they want to be talking about segregation, reservations, residential schools and other things that lasted into the latter half of the twentieth century, that there are still living people who experienced these things, that’s a discussion that can be had, and pushing for current day equality should be something that everyone supports. But this villainizing of everything white, and the exploitation of historical events in the name of overreaching affirmative action is nonsense.

Of course it doesn’t help that America somehow elected a reality tv conman intent on stoking the fire of racial conflict and discontent, and the democrats only respond by fanning those flames higher.

what an unbelievable cunt. I would prepare for more of this, "black lives matter!...until they come close to the suburbs..."

Will be funny how many of these types will support the looting, burning and violence in inner cities as legitimate protests against police brutality will, as soon as it even nears their backyard, unquestionably back law enforcement to prevent those "domestic terrorists" from getting some spray paint on my expensive door.

You expect a mayor to publicly say she’s against peaceful protests?
I read this very differently from Chris Palmer’s case who was encouraging vandalism.

Where are you seeing this? Because I'm really not anywhere.

I don't count random Twitter or TikTok videos from some random asshole somewhere on the internet, if that's where this is coming from.

It’s not that commonplace, but there is a very loud minority doing this and blaring it all over social media. Twitter, instagram, Facebook, etc. I don’t even know what Tiktok is. Funnily enough, it’s mostly super “woke” white people. It’s actually quite a large number of female outdoor athletes unfortunately

Ah, I figured as much. I tune shit out like that entirely, not even worth paying attention to and conflating with the mainstream. Tiktok is cringe shit for kids and teenagers :D.

That's that "white guilt," definitely trying to overcompensate and compete with the other "wokes" as has been mentioned previously by someone. Something I also tune out.

I admire Trump's dedication to Operation Kill My Supporter Base.
You get a few positive cases attending and it could get really bad for those people. It's really unfortunate, but you can't force people to not do stupid things.
