RE: White Guilt/Privilege

Domestic Engineer · Guru

From BLM web site

We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).

We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.

Anyone catch the Oprah special tonight? I turned it off after she said that white people can't possible feel the injustice of Floyd's death. Only black people can truly feel the hurt and pain his death caused. But no, black people don't want division now do they? WTFever! I think when it happened EVERYONE felt the injustice. Now we're being told we can't possibly be angry about it. Great, let's CAUSE issues where there weren't any.

Oprah's opinion holds very little weight. She needs to stfu more often.

Yep, that's exactly what I meant when I said they will never let racism die. I have never heard a white person complain that blacks, or any other race for that matter, doesn't know what it's like when their white child was senselessly killed by a black, civilian or cop, be it deliberately or in a drive-by. I truly believe that no matter how well "reform" is placed, it will never be enough for the black community.

news.yahoo.com/former-coworker-george-floyd-derek-chauvin-claims-they-bumped-heads-in-past-071539036.html

On the CBS special, Justice for All hosted by Gayle King, George Floyd’s brother Philonise said he believes Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with second-degree murder in Floyd’s death, knew exactly who Floyd was as he pressed his knee into his neck. Not only that, Philonise said he believed it was personal, and he’s not the only one who sees it that way.

Both Floyd and Chauvin used to work security at El Nuevo Rodeo, a nightclub in Minneapolis that was burned to the ground in recent riots. Floyd worked security inside, while Chauvin was paid to sit in his squad car outside the club when he was off-duty. Former co-worker David Pinney said that not only did Floyd and Chauvin know each other, but they had a contentious history.

“They bumped heads,” Pinney said, adding, “It has a lot to do with Derek being extremely aggressive within the club with some of the patrons, which was an issue.” “Is there any doubt in your mind that Derek Chauvin knew George Floyd?” CBS correspondent Jeff Pegues asked. “No, he knew him,” Pinney replied. “How well did he know him?” “I’d say pretty well.”

Chauvin had a history of complaints against him, and the former owner of the club, Maya Santamaria, was not surprised by what she saw in the video, except that it went as far as it did.

“I was not surprised when I initially saw his knee on his neck, to be honest,” Santamaria said. “Because I’ve seen Chauvin do stuff along those lines. What surprised me was that he didn’t stop right away once George was obviously, ya know, saying, ‘OK, OK.’”

Santamaria also believes race was an issue for Chauvin.

“Do you think Derek had a problem with black people?” Santamaria was asked. She replied, “I think he was afraid and intimidated.”

Yes, I know. I've said it from the beginning. Learned from my LEO friends. That kind of info travels fast in precincts.

I think it's extremists, both sides, personally. But it's more the democrats because this is all to sway the election.

And what's up with Oprah and her hijacking HGTV and FoodNetwork last night and tonight? I'll bet she announces that either she or Michelle will be Biden's running mate.

I can't see that. Too much work to be in politics. It's messy and people constantly criticize you. The Obamas made a crap ton of money and I don't believe Michelle would want to bother nor Oprah. I think the obvious running mate for Biden is Gov Whitmer the Nazi Gov.

I think it would help if we stopped using hyphenated nationalities.

If you are born in America, especially if you are 2nd, 3rd, or 15th generation, you are American. Period.

It wasn’t used (at least African America) till Jesse Jackson started it.

I don't recall any other nationality referring to themselves as hyphenated and most still do not.

Humor only works when there is a modicum of truth. Which in this case, you don't seem to understand. And, you seem quite ignorant of the progress of history and tyranny throughout the course of makind. You don't just wake up one day with an oppressive govt. But, look at what the liberal left SUPPORTS. Riots, censorship, reeducation camps, etc.

GG got into to it with a black thug. He said to him 'you people' create your own problems by not creating paths to better lives and you pull down anyone that tries for it. I'm surprised the guy didn't call him Uncle Tom.

FNW · Guru

There is more racism among the black people themselves, from what I hear. And I've heard a lot, being the only white person on a 6 person team for over 7 years. Skin tones, area of origin, classes, etc. It's almost as if they don't want others in their own race to succeed.

TrudyML · Guru

That is what he said. I told him watch it out there. I don't need you getting stabbed because you stood up to him. Then another black man showed up and agreed with GG.

FNW · Guru

Be careful, GG!

TrudyML · Guru

He was told. He's got peeps where he was.

I believe majority of the black population agrees with GG, if they speak out, they are criticize. DC has a huge black population and a large population didn’t riot or protested.

FNW · Guru

Most of those that protested in the DC area came from out of the DMV area. They were bused in then rode bikes and skateboards.

Lindley · Guru

I’m so done with everyone caving into silly demands. I’m not against solving real racism, but what’s going on is not about solving racism, but more like a punishment for something we have no control over. Wanting to not only cancel all the police shows, but some calling for chase on paw patrol to be euthanized because he shows a positive image of police officers to children is so stupid and wrong.

FNW · Guru

Terrible.

Oh gosh. Need the police now? Too bad you defunded them, kicked them, spit at them, threw bottles at them, lit their cars on fire, and called an all out war against them. Time to phone a friend instead.
