You noticed that too? I'm confused though I heard Octavia doesn't troll?

Well yourebalways running around gathering sympathy because you get trolled. What gives?

Whatever you say.

I concur natalie_

Every time natalie_

just like conservatives

The memes that will be made 30 years from now

Those look like good, upstanding citizens. They would never, ever do something wrong or unlawful. They're fighting for "equality."

Because they have. Oh wait, wrong deadly riot. My bad.

Is this more your idea of what an upstanding citizen "looks" like? The ones fighting for superiority?

My mind has been blown.

But reality sad at the same time.

LMAO!!!!

so was dr king

So were most African-Americans back then, when the GOP was the "Party of Lincoln." Hell, they're not even the "party of Reagan" anymore.

VERY good point.

you seem incapable of happiness. your life revolves around being constantly enraged, constantly offended, constantly put upon, constantly victimized. what a waste....

Octavia, I believe that the behavior in which our friend in engaged is referred to as psychological projection. It's a whole big thing.

Yeah, good luck with that one, Octavia. :P

Did you notice the length of this meme you're commenting on? The amount of rage expressed because someone decided to take down some statues? The number of people commenting here who are offended because people had the nerve to stand up against racism? The white battle cry over being erased?

Democrats brought slavery to the US, Democrats created the 3/5ths compromise, Democrats created the masom dixon line, Democrats seceded and created the Confederate States of America, Democrats created share cropping after the civil war to perpetuate slavery after it's outlaw, democrats created the KKK, democrats created poll taxes and voter registration tests, democrats fight for and advance eugenics even today, democrats continue the bondage of slavery even today through the welfare system and lack of support for trade programs in schools. If you want to attack racism, attack the right source of racism. Most of us are just having a good time pointing out the hypocrisy of every one like Anitfa, republicans, democrats, white nationalists, etc.

Welfare is slavery or it would be easier for people to get off and into a situation where they are able to provide for themselves. when welfare pays enough to prevent someone from starving but does not provide them an ability to improve themselves so they can find a job that provides for their family better then an EBT card... That sure as hell is slavery, on an institutional level.

Welfare is not what's causing the oppression of the underclass in this country. Thats just another ridiculous elitist fallacy...

And what is causing the oppression of the lower class? No one ever offers a cause or a solution. Welfare was never meant to offer anything other than a bare minimum standard of living. It is a safety net so people don't starve to death, nothing more. It shouldn't be anything more but there should be an system in place to help offer education so that people can improve themselves. What do you propose should be the solution to the socioeconomic disparity?

How about racism? How many employers out there are low key refusing to hire African-Americans? I've seen that ish with my own eyes. So many are out there pounding the pavement every day only to have their applications and resumes just tossed in the trash for being black. Not to mention the generational lack of confidence and repetition of negative lifestyle choices that afflict underclass communities. What's a kid to do if mom dad and grandparents are all in gangs? I agree there needs to be more trade schools but after working in a legislature and seeing how that whole thing operates, I think the disinterest has more to do with the country's obsession with technology and the STEM subjects. Welfare is a safety net that helps more people than it harms, IMHO.

Racism is evil any where and by anyone. I have not personally experienced seeing applications and resumes tossed out because of the color of the applicants skin but I am sure it happens. Any where it happens it should be investigated and the perpetrators prosecuted if racism is what is going on. It's against the law and should not be allowed. If you witness it you should speak up but just because you don't get an interview doesn't mean you got discounted because of the color of your skin. As an example, teaching is a hard profession to get into. For each opening there is often 200 or more applicants in certain areas and there is no way the people hiring can interview 200 people, the pool must be cut some how as long as it's not by race, gender, or any other discriminatory manner. Your next point, when a kid's entire family are in a gang, that is a horrible situation to be in. First of all he/she is very lucky to have Mom, Dad, and their grand parents alive if they are all in a gang but being dealt that hand is an extremely unfair start to life. Statistically that child will follow in their parents footsteps but we and they should not give up. It is those situations that need mentor ship programs the most. I have seen personally members of the communities I have lived in fight to separate themselves from that culture. It's not easy but with help it is possible. I have seen many family tree changing events in my communities where students turned their back on gangs and drugs so they could be not only the first person in their family to graduate high school but to be the first person in their family to get into college. It was a beautiful thing to witness and be a part of. Those students will go on to change the world but true it may not be in the technology and STEM fields but there are many other options such as the various branches of the medical field, liberal arts, business fields, or starting their own business. The focus on STEM is because those are the fields of the future and if we are to compete with China, India, Japan, etc then we need young people to take an interest in STEM fields. Not everyone needs to be a computer programmer, we will always need plumbers, electricians, contractors, etc. As an example I use an electrician who works 10 hour days 7 days a week and makes over $250,000/year, way more than I do. You don't have to have an advanced degree to provide a very comfortable life for your family.

No you're just desperately trying to point fingers because a racist nazi from your side just drove his car into a crowd of people and killed a young woman a la ISIS. You can go back two hundred years and talk about the welfare system all you want. But right now, your party is showing itself to murderous, horrible people. Someone got killed last week by a bro-Nazi Trump supporter. That's all we need to know.

You don't know my party or my politics and I'm OK with that. Nazis are evil, white supremacists are evil and the driver of the car wasn't mine. just because someone's beliefs don't mirror your own doesn't make them evil but treating them that way only pushes them further from an amicable relationship. You assume too much and perhaps need to breath a little bit before assuming some one is a racist piece of crap.

What can I say? You're quacking like a right-wing white supremacist apologist... What with all this Democrats were the ones who owned slaves during the civil war. What does that have to do with what's going on now? It's Republicans who are supporting the racist bigotry in this country NOW. Any discussion about what happened 200 years ago is deflection...

All of the "democrats" statements were facts. You don't have to like them but you should understand the history of the party and the fact is that both the democrats and the republicans are seriously flawed in their own right. White supremacists claim the right but the right doesn't claim them. The civil war was also 150 years ago, not 200 years ago, besides we still have the same constitution we had 200 years ago, amended as needed along the way. The KKK which is the center of conversation, David duke ran first as a democrat in the 80s and should have been booed out of politics but some how continued. Jason Kessler, the Unite the Right organizer was a member of Occupy Wall street and was an Obama supporter. He even worked for CNN while covering and participating in Occupy Wall street. So he magically became in a few years he went from fighting for the people against the oppressive banking system to an evil right wing racist nut job? I don't buy it.

Yes I know they are facts and yes I rounded up@@ but the sides have switched. It doesn't bother me who was on which side in 1864. I honestly couldn't give a rip. In 1967 it was still illegal for an interracial couple to get married... in Virginia! The first female tried to run in the Boston marathon and got attacked by the organizer who cried that a woman would never run in his race. That wasn't that long ago. But here we are and things haven't changed all that much. The country is still being run by racist, mysogynists ...

You may not agree with him and it is your right to do so but Trump was not labeled a racist or a misogynist until he ran for president. He in fact received awards for diversity, brotherhood, etc. His organization employs 53% males and 47% females but more executives are females than male. He has said some really stupid things but his actions don't seem misogynistic or racist to me.

Yes he used to be liberal. But somewhere along the line he switched sides...

The civil war wasn't fought over racism.

Were the majority of slaves white? Were there white bodies hanging from trees? Was it white people that weren't allowed to sit in the front of the bus? Was it white people who were discriminated against all these years? Is it white people who are being racially profiled and shot by police? Its NO to all the above.

Something you won't see in the movies but might read about in a history book is that there were 250,000 free black men in the south when war broke out. As soon as was began 10% of those free black men (that's 25,000) signed up to fight in the Confederate States Army. White officers even allowed their loyal slaves to fight alongside them even though it was illegal, but hey, the war was about slavery right?

You're mixing up civil war civil rights. The answer is NO, the Civil War was NOT about racism. If slavery was all about race then there wouldn't have been black slave owners like there were in the US and continues to be today in other countries.

If the civil war was fought over slaver then why was slaver not abolished in the north until 8 months after the end of the war? Why weren't the 451,021 registered slaves in the north freed immediately once war broke out?a 451,021 slaves... that's 225,483 in Kentucky, 114,931 in Missouri, 90,374 in Maryland/DC, etc... But the civil war was fought over slaver, just not those slaves.

You know you are right, someone down my family line is a jew who most likely suffered at the hands of black slavers in Egypt! I want justice against black people for slaving my people! Tore down those pyramids! Oh snap! Because black people never slaved anyone... right? Right?! No one wants to bring that up

What does that have to do with what's going on now? And what makes you think that because there were black slave owners that means racism had nothing to do with it? The slaves were still all black! Rosa Parks was a black woman arrested for not going to the back of the bus. Her grandfather was forced to pick cotton barefoot in the hot sun. She and her brother and mother were only allowed to go to black only schools. Your logic is full of holes.

Oh now YOU get defensive. What does that statue has to do with Rosa Parks? See my point? My comment has EVERYTHING to do, because it shows that you guys are no different that your targeted audience.

Buddy, you're being defensive yourself. And you're making no point at all. You want to go to Egypt and tell the govt there to tear down the pyramids? Be my guest. But I know that I would never purposefully plow a car into a crowd of people. I'm not starting riots because I want my race to be the only one on earth. I'm not walking the streets with machine guns trying to defend racist imperialist a**holes who are fighting to maintain a centuries old status quo of oppression and violence toward people who I deem are inferior because their skin is darker than mine. A woman was killed. But so-called conservative Christians care more about a carved piece of rock that was erected by racists 100 years ago being taken down. It's beyond ridiculous. It's insanity.
