@DeluxedEdition @PatKirby There are 164 verses in the Quran that teach to kill non Muslims, but the difference is historical context. Mohammed dictated peaceful and loving words in Mecca, and very violent words in Medina. Studious Muslims know the historical context. We cannot allow ourselves to paint all Muslims with the same brush. The vast majority of Muslims want peace, prosperity, and happiness, like the vast majority of Christians. Terrorists are as much Muslim, as Westboro Baptist Church is Christian. Early on, the Muslims took up the slave trade and cornered the market because it was profitable; the same reason Christian slave traders did business with them, as well as powerful indigenous tribes in the African continent. Humans mistreat each other. Humans lust for power and wealth. Humans can be the pinnacle of righteousness, and the depth of depravity. It is not any particular race, or religion, (excluding a small few like the Thuggees of India.) it is the human race that is guilty and responsible.
Where’s Biden now? The “unifier”. Bet he doesn’t publicly call this woman out. Nor will Governor Phil Murphy. The epitome of racism, and ignorance, plus foul mouthed piece of trash.
Lol! I think professor Korpulent Karen here is a bit too committed to eating one too many chicken nuggets with ranch dip. Now watch out while she fills up on a large helping of Crow with a side order of Humble Pie.
@Oster1 people who can only view the world in black and white thinking cannot be reasoned with. I have seen variations of this with a relative and no amount of reasoning will sway her opinions.
Unfortunate that we have people spewing hate like this, since most of us are getting along just fine and nobody gives a crap about the skin color. Lots of mixed race families these days where nobody cares about skin tone. It's not Uncle Bob who's black, it's just Uncle Bob. I venture this woman makes a salary well into six figures, somehow has earned multiple college degrees and is doing alright for herself. So what's she complaining about?
You know I could cry all day that my Mexican ancestors lost the Mexican-American War 175 years ago and forced us to become Americans overnight by stealing land that was not theirs. But I don't because 1) it didn't happen to Me so I don't deserve anything, 2) I worked hard all my life, bought my house, saved and made something for myself without relying on or blaming others, and 3) I take pride in my own accomplishments instead demanding free shit like a good little victim.
When are these cry bullies going to stop complaining, get up and do something for themselves instead of blaming the world for what happened to somebody else?
@graphite Exactly! I live in the reddest area of the deepest south, and mixed families are the norm. Non mixed families are actually the exception to the rule. You have some bigots here and there but a hell of a lot less than out west or up north. We are educated enough to know that our blood is exactly the same.

I suspect it may be certain racist individuals here who actually agree with that hate-spewing cow. They constantly shriek about racism, while the only racism to be seen is coming from them.
Exactly.
There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.
@soar2newhighs yes I know about Canada. I was talking about a movie about the Osage Indians and how they had their oil wealth stolen from them. I think they are talking about making a movie. I saw a segment on 60 minutes a while back about this.
Brittney Cooper is an important thinker who deliberately expresses herself in over-the-top ways sometimes. Don't take out-of-context quotations as representative of her thought, or what she stands for.
Even the video clip shows that she didn't call White people individually, or all White people, "villains". She says "...White people are committed to being villains -- in the aggregate, you know." That is a small but significant difference.
Is your sense of white entitlement hurt Jackbud? Dude seriously! Are you on some kind of trolls mailing list where they send you stuff to be outraged at? What rabbit holes do you go down?
I guess the temptation exists in all of us to find some external presence to blame for all of our problems. Any reasonable analysis and comparison of life in the west vs life in Africa would show that the first group leads a more prosperous, freer and altogether better life than those who live in Africa.
Keep in mind that tribal differences (i.e., Hutus vs Tutsis) are real, widespread, violent and often deadly. Those differences are much more stark and unreconcilable than any remnant of white racism in the West.
Not first nor last, I don't know how come but all of a sudden being racist to white people in the US is acceptable, especially by indoctrination by deranged university teachers and they act like it's completely reasonable and snap at you for daring to question their logic.
I ran into a legit Aztec supremacist a little while ago, and it ended up with me just laughing at him as he ranted about how Spain didn’t actually conquer much of South America, how Cortez got his ass kicked, and about how the Aztecs were going to build their own wakanda if only the “devils” didn’t show up. He low key threatened me at some point, but that whole situation was hard to take seriously. By the time dude stormed out of the bar I was in hysterics.
Some people are nuts 🤷♂️
You’re the rightoid version of these loons btw - looking in a funhouse mirror with this post.
...happily co-existed and sailed around the world...
Funny how many people actually believe that fairytale...
In reality, they were tribal savages that robbed, raped, murdered, and enslaved each other; then one day when whites came along wanting to trade food, supplies, resources, technology, etc., the savages had nothing to trade but each other... 🤔
Perhaps before She let her battleship mouth overload her rowboat ass, had she the courage, should IMO have brought together interracial married couples ( black and white) and espoused those views to them. What would have come out of that, might have given her an opportunity to see and experience reality.
