Also - more broadly about race in America - I am finding Trevor Noah really interesting on the subject. This is a between the scenes answer to a question from the audience about reparations, from last year:
And this week

I'm a white man. These stories do not reflect my life experience. But they are absolutely representative of the life experiences of my black step brothers and step father.
This is real. This is real, despite the fact that *I* didn't live it.

Well, here's a heartwarming story out of Chicago about police doing it right and giving a black man every chance to not only survive; but, retain his freedom.

Police not being racist shits really shouldn't be noteworthy

Being the first to... is noteworthy. Being the first black person to do same..., being the first Hispanic to do same..., being the first Asian to do same... etc. shouldn't be noteworthy; but, it is.

I'm guessing he can't lift himself to pull them up further.

But again, the irrelevant is cited to avoid an obvious and major problem. Widespread racism exists even among some repeat posters in the Cellar. They routinely support Trump. Refuse to admit that Trump supporters include the KKK, White Supremacists, and Nazis. Even demonstrated in Franklin Twp NJ. They want to 'wreck shit'.
A racist will ignore those damning pictures to again admire and support Trump. Both his overt racist beliefs and his 30 second attention span. Notice how those two obvious characteristics of the Don are not disputed - because they cannot be disputed. So cheapshots and irrelevant posts exist. Al Capone would envy how Trump can get rich doing tax evasion. Just another item on a list that includes racism, hate, and praising despots. |
