When presented with the hypothetical scenario I bet the other assumption immediately made is that the racist is a male. Well, you're already automatically assumed to be a sexual predator in waiting, what's another name to the list? 49 minutes ago, Lecarpetron Dukemarriot said: https://www.stripes.com/news/us/some-us-troops-view-capitol-riots-racial-protests-equally-worrying-pentagon-leaders-1.666455?fbclid=IwAR0wRkyTbWbrpI90jEo_hL6KQOI3RJ4R4MEe1V828B7Nsx0pFGm-xeysEPY CMSAF Wokeness: Hmmm, lots of people are not going along with our narrative. Exec: Ya, lots of people are countering our claims, maybe it's us? CMSAF Wokeness: LOL of course not...it's definitely not us. Time to double down!
March 19, 20214 yr We will NEVER achieve MLK's dream in this country because far too many people on both sides (your Al Sharptons and David Dukes, et al) make a good living stirring up racial animus. And far too many listen to those fools.

March 20, 20214 yr Really.... https://www.stripes.com/news/us/some-us-troops-view-capitol-riots-racial-protests-equally-worrying-pentagon-leaders-1.666455?fbclid=IwAR0wRkyTbWbrpI90jEo_hL6KQOI3RJ4R4MEe1V828B7Nsx0pFGm-xeysEPYThey aren’t the same. The BLM and antifa actions were way way way worse.

What you see in news footage from then is all whites beating blacks. There was plenty of blacks beating whites too. 1968, my uncle and I were stopped at a gate going into his property, he was trying to find the key to the lock. About a dozen black dudes came toward us yelling "kill whitey" and other stuff. The only thing that turned them around was when my uncle pulled his pistol. He asked them "who's first?" This was in Georgia by the way.

Just like when the creepy white dude shoots up asian massage parlors, it’s automatically “WHITE SUPREMACY!!!!” Turn out this dude actually had some weird sexual/religious stuff going on in his effed up/disgusting brain. Meanwhile, actual targeted assaults on Asians (happened in NY and CA, surprise surprise) that were committed nearly 100% by black Americans, have barely been mentioned on the news.

I mean, I was reading about that all black JSTARs crew and how the AF was saying that was such a great thing. Isn’t that the exact thing that men like MLK worked to fight against? I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong, but I thought the idea here was to integrate people, not segregate. I don't know about the 60s...but it does feel like we've lost a lot of ground since the 90s.
