 Friends         | L'Internationale. English Translation: Arise, ye workers from your slumber, Arise, ye prisoners of want. For reason in revolt now thunders, and at last ends the age of cant! Away with all your superstitions, Servile masses, arise, arise! We'll change henceforth the old tradition, And spurn the dust to win the prize! So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. No more deluded by reaction, On tyrants only we'll make war! The soldiers too will take strike action, They'll break ranks and fight no more! And if those cannibals keep trying, To sacrifice us to their pride, They soon shall hear the bullets flying, We'll shoot the generals on our own side. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. No saviour from on high delivers, No faith have we in prince or peer. Our own right hand the chains must shiver, Chains of hatred, greed and fear. E'er the thieves will out with their booty, And to all give a happier lot. Each at his forge must do their duty, And we'll strike the iron while it's hot. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race.  Him_over_there: Of course we are Cho! I think many people feel I’m ignoring them because I never precipitate greetings. But the reason is, I don't like to interrupt the flow of ongoing conversations when I enter a Room. So don’t worry Cho; my best wishes are always implicit, and I always enjoy your input, because it is genuine.  rob11733410: BY THE WAY...IM NOT BEING BIGOTED WHEN I SAY YOUR BLACK ASSES..I MEANT..YOUR BLACK ASSES! AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT SUPPORTS THE BLACK COMMUNITY..AND I DO. JUST NOT BLM. THATS A DISCUSSION FOR ANOTHER TIME. AND IM OPEN TO THAT.  sublimeblackgirl: All lives matter is pursuing equality before pursuing equity . Can’t have equality without equity. Him_over_there: In all truth, we know that #ALM and #BlueLM are composed of that great rump of ‘shy racist’ Americans; too weak in character to openly support the DOJ’s surreptitious targeting of Blacks, and a Police covert agenda of racial assassinations. None of these people have any desire whatsoever for equality; indeed they will feel secure and protective of a system which favours the White over the other; which is why they support the nefarious forces of the status quo.  Him_over_there: Everyone who supports either 'All Lives Matter' or 'Blue Lives Matter' is just a shy Racist, or a willing pawn of the Police State View all 5 posts  vhhardtop: FUCKING HILARIOUS, CONGRATULATION'S YOUR A HARCORE IMBECILE. IF SOMEONE CLIMBS INTO YOUR HOUSE AND BEATS AND TIES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY UP ROB EVERYTHING OF VALUE, THEN BREAK YOUR LEGS AND TAKE YOUR FINGERS WITH THEM ON EXIT. DO NOT. I REPEAT, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE RING THE POLICE, their racist, not like the gang that robbed you. You hate racism, EXECPT YA OWN, LMFAO  sublimeblackgirl: It’s the difference between equality and equity. If you don’t understand that you need to before you can say BLM or ALM  DancesWithMarmots: Tom really shouldn't be a mod, ya know. Not when he violates Wires rules on hate speech. Is this what BLM is all about? Him_over_there: What happened to those two LAPD police officers in their police car just days ago is directly related to the racial targeting and murder their colleagues are covertly implementing - it is reciprocal terror - and #BLM has been formed to stop; to resolve this racial conflict:   (Post deleted by Lucy Bullish Pearl ) View all 9 posts  gronchbove: Breizgirl, How have any in the world profited from any of these wars? John McCain has 10 houses. The military brass gets more money to buy more airplanes and missiles. But the citizens of the world are just killed. It is sickening when you really look at the bottom line: making money off of death.   Him_over_there started a new conversation: Shy Racists, Sock-Puppet Accounts and the ‘Black Lives Matter’ room. in Politics Him_over_there:
BLM activists raising their communal voices with a resounding “No” to systemic Police murder of Blacks and BLM supporters, may cause outrage amongst shy racists and conservatives who seek to maintain the rotten status quo, but it isn't actually increasing anything that wasn't already festering below the surface  Wasted Wizard: Its not just that tho, is it. You are doing other things that have increased racism, hate and division. It fine to stand up for injustice, but if u against racism and tht is the issue why are u increasing it and happy to ignore this fact.

The BLM street lettering projects with municipal support have sparked communities to have real groundlevel reactions and conversations—there was a lot of outrage even in my own community; there was also, to my surprise, tremendous support. It’s unifying. Outrage will spark change in communities—I hope for the better, especially since we see cities are choosing diversity over white supremacy. Why do you think feds are being deployed to some of the most progressive cities in some of the most progressive states? If even a southern city in the US coming out in public support of diversity and equality is, to your mind, just lip service... I think you’re missing a vital piece of what systemic racism actually looks like in America—particularly along class lines. Silencing has been the most effective strategy for eternity—it’s been used to quell reform before it can even begin. Systemic racism in a southern town typically would have killed any of these projects on arrival. This, my friend, is what slow progress feels like. I’m honestly surprised I’m witnessing *something* being said and done *at all*. Another example of the power of art? That cartoon. To my eyes? commentary in that cartoon is nothing more than a derisive rehash of dehumanizing racist tropes (I see “mammy”, “pickaninny”, and “uncle tom” up in front.) To others? There’s no telling, really. But nothing like a little faux nuance commentary to confirm existing elaborate biases. It’s damaging any way you slice it. Him_over_there in reply to Seiren: Political art? Seriously! Big, yellow letters, laboriously imprinted on the road ‘political art’? I don’t think so. On the contrary. This was an historic insult to an oppressed group at the height of their revolt. Here the ruling elite descended from their ivory towers and said: "Listen.. you can play with the street" - "Aren't you lucky?" - “Here's some nice yellow paint, now write anything you like; we’ll even help!.. just don’t rebel.” And the docile amongst the group found it soothing enough to console their discontent. The act representing nothing in of itself other than superficial virtue signalling by local politicians. Mere diversion. As for the cartoon, I find it refreshingly honest; the derision well deserved. Those caricatures actually represent the mindset of many lumpen Blacks who are too meek to take a stand.

No reason given; no notification. Pure and blatant prejudice against someone who raises ‘serious issues’. I happen to mention it's not ok for the Police to shoot African Americans for sleeping in their cars, while amidst her racist clique of friends in the 50s coma room, but rather than discuss the subject like an adult she internalized her rage, acquiesced to their frustrated demands, and secretly abused the Mod censorship software as she skulked off and left the room. The Thought Police never sleep!  View all 17 posts Him_over_there: The corporate media certainly has no shortages of ‘Uncle Toms’ and ‘Aunt Jemimas’, who are all too eager to ingratiate themselves and sell out their own ethnicity for notoriety, and, or the prospect of financial gain which comes as a result of being a frequently used media talking head, ostensibly representing safe, ‘sensible, conservative, level headed opinion’.  Lucy Bullish Pearl: Candace Owens was paid to say those things. When Jeffrey Epstein was murdered or I believe he's still alive living in Apartheid Israel, not one person from his tribe spoke out against him. @ Him great analysis of that sell-out. |
Voting for some ‘vague opposition’ to ‘Trump’ isn’t an answer to the many problems BLM have highlighted in US policing. And neither Biden nor Harris have even made any promises which would begin to resolve the issues
