If they didn't do anything then the problems of racism would get worse. And I bet you don't even know the true definition of racism is.

That's not really a insult because i'm not a boomer, I'm from gen z, and boomers are one of the most racist generation and I'm not racist. I don't judge people because of their skin color, unlike you.

First of all, I didn't say all of the older generations is racist. YOU said that. No generation is perfect. Not even mine.

My generation doesn't call people racist as a weapon. Of course, how would you know?

You say that I have a short attention span, but I have an attention span long enough to read your post and comment on it. I'm proud to be in gen z. And if you have a problem with that, oh well. Tough.

The way you responded shows that you ARE bothered by my response. And since your so eager to lecture me, can you tell me what your definition of racism, racist, and ignorant?

Oh yeah, and does picking on me because I'm probably 30 years younger than you make you feel better about yourself or something? Because that's just sad.

And I DON'T believe everything I see on the internet. I got that screenshot from a reliable source. Somebody that you trolled before.

And I don't like Spongebob. He's annoying. But do you watch him or something?

I see you have been banned from trolling others on other websites too. ( Since I'm young, I know my way around the internet) Do you have any kind of life? Even I have other things to do than to stare at a screen looking for the next person to troll. Or are you like that fat guy I see in movies that sits on the couch all day stuffing his face with pizza and Cheetos?

And that ending, "Boy, you sure told me, huh? So THERE! HMPH!" Just wow. VERY MATURE. I thought I was the younger one. But you totally could have passed for a four-year-old kid who didn't get his way.

And your teaching skills need practice. My so-called "short attention span" caused me to fail to learn anything from your childish lecture. Thx "Arnnatz".

Dear Timber1972,

I am blocking you. I was going to put this into letter form but decided to write this my way because 1) Barely anybody writes letters anymore, and 2) I. DON'T. CARE.
Anyways, after giving this some thought I decided to take the high road and just block you and go on with my life. You are not worth my time. I realized that I can not change your racist and ignorant opinions. And you can not change the fact that I don't judge others by the color of their skin. (I also don't go trolling others over the internet for no reason) You can go and reply by making fun of the fact that I am younger than you. You can correct my grammar and spelling all you want too. (It will be a waste of your time because I am not going to look at any more of your comments. But if you want to waste your time, go ahead, be my guest.) It won't change anything. I am not an adult yet. I am going to make those mistakes, but I will not be corrected by some ignorant guy over a meme website.
I don't know what your beliefs are, but I know mine. I will pray for you that someday you'll see the truth. And to also do something productive with your time instead of trolling others over the internet that have opinions that you don't agree with.



Black lives matter,
Moonkit.

P.S- You just lost this argument to a teenager. :)

Good for you that you blocked timbHER1972. So did I.
Without doubt the biggest loser on this site.
The moment she realises she lost the argument she goes off by posting bs with the underline that people don't have to answer in the way you want.
Then there are the endless replies when triggered filled with "You leftists with your mental illness, projecting your fear and insecurities. I'm educating you. Bla bla bla"
Indeed a waste of time.

Let me get this straight: you're saying that a largely nonviolent movement that has only existed for 7 years has somehow caused more problems than an evil belief system that has been institutionalized for centuries? Let's do a little comparison here:

Problems caused by racism(some historical, some present-day):
-Disproportionate poverty among minorities
-Segregation
-Police brutality
-Voter suppression
-The Confederacy used White supremacy to justify slavery, which eventually led to the Civil War(as any historian will tell the Civil War was not really about 'states rights', unless by states' rights you mean the 'right' to own slaves)
-Domestic terrorism against minorities(countless atrocities committed by the KKK, lynching, Tulsa Race Massacre(1921), Murder of Emmet Till(1955), Charleston Church shooting(2015), El Paso shooting(2019), etc.)
-Divisiveness and tribalism

"Problems"(actually benefits) caused by BLM protests:
-Upsetting the oh-so-great-and-untouchable status quo
-educating people about fighting racism and inequality
-Bringing greater awareness to police brutality and encouraging action against it
-Encouraging cohesive, substantial action against the systematic racism that has pervade this country for so long and continues to do so

You'll notice I didn't include looting and rioting. That's because BLM as a movement has never promoted those things, so no, it did not cause those problems. What did cause those was the repeated lack of any substantial change and apathy of politicians to fight racial inequality. The killing of George Floyd was the breaking point that caused it to all boil over.

You're trying to say that BLM is fascist?

I had heard of Ernst Rohm before, being the history buff I am, but I'm not an expert on him so I did a bit of reading.

He was a major part of the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923, and was in charge of the Sturmabteilung, the Nazi Party's militia. He wanted to combine the Sturmabteilung with the regular German Army. Hitler saw him as a threat and had him assassinated on the Night of the Long Knives in 1934.

I don't really see the connection here. If anything he would detest BLM, considering the fact that he was a Nazi and all.

I don't believe in either disbanding or defunding the police. Rather, I think officers should be trained with a greater emphasis on the social contract between law enforcement and the people. Police departments also must do more to discourage use of excessive force.

I'm not screeching about anything buddy.

Why do you automatically label everyone who disagrees with you as a leftist?

That's kinda like the SJWs who make the ridiculous claim that voting for Trump makes you a Nazi(If you did vote in 2016 I would assume you voted for him, seeing that you are strongly conservative). While there were some Nazis who did vote for Trump, most people who voted for him, were, you guessed it, NOT Nazis.

See my point? Blatantly labeling anyone who disagrees with you as an alt-leftist is really no better than the SJWs who like to call you a Nazi just because you happen to hold right-wing views.

I made that statement with the political compass in mind. This, I assumed, was the basis for your use of the term 'leftist'.

You also some assumption of your own:

"As typical with Leftists, you attempt to frame the debate to fit your narrative."

What indication did you have that I was a so-called leftist?

How does advocating for racial equality make me indoctrinated? You clearly don't understand BLM. Let me explain:

Black Lives Matter doesn't mean non-Black lives DON'T matter, what it means is that Black lives matter TOO. It's not saying Black lives are the only lives that count, that's not at all what BLM as a movement and philosophy is about.

First off, I'm not a leftist, buddy.

I am not advocating for black supremacy. When exactly did I say anything along those lines? Never have, never will. Stop putting words in my mouth.

Okay, let me ask you a few questions:

1. I'm getting the impression you believe that BLM is a Black supremacist group. How did you come to this conclusion, exactly?

Now, I will admit I am no expert on BLM. However, I have yet to see them as an organization display that ideology. Are there a very small amount of individual members who believe that ideology? Perhaps, but BLM has had an emphasis on intersectionality from early on, and that kind of thing ususally turns extremists away.

My guess would be that someone's selling you paranoia, and you're buying it in bulk.

However, I agree that it is important to be very critical of organizations and government alike. But I'm going to need some evidence to support the claim that BLM is Black supremacist, if indeed that is what you are insinuating.

And no, I don't believe they can do no wrong. I am strongly against slavery reparations and I think affirmative action should be based on class not race.

2. What exactly do you define as a 'leftist'? The definition I'm familiar with is anyone who holds left-wing views. This applies to a wide array of people, however, you seem to apply it only to the most extreme aspects of left-wing politics.

That's kinda like the SJWs who say ludicrous things like that voting for Trump makes you a Nazi(If you did vote in 2016 I would assume you voted for him, seeing that you are strongly conservative). While there were some Nazis who did vote for Trump, most people who voted for him, were, you guessed it, NOT Nazis.

See my point? Blatantly labeling anyone who disagrees with you as an alt-leftist is really no better than the SJWs who like to call you a Nazi just because you happen to hold right-wing views.

3. How exactly is what I said propaganda? I cited specific factual historical events. If racism wasn't the root cause of those events, then what was? Answer me that. Do you deny the occurrence of the events I mentioned?

I'm no doctor, but man, from what I can tell it seems you may be suffering from LWDS(Left-Wing Derangement Syndrome) It's similar to TDS(Trump Derangement Syndrome) except it occurs in the right quadrants of the political spectrum, and the target of the derangement is Left-Wing politics. Symptoms include:
-Hatred of anything even remotely Left-Wing(even moderate stuff)
-Assumption that anyone who disagrees with even a few of your views is part of some crazy liberal agenda
-Paranoia about minorities
-Denial of obvious flaws present in one's home country

The way I interpreted this comment was that you were taking a jab at me, implying I was up at 6 AM with the sole purpose of replying to an Imgflip comment. Evidently, I was incorrect.

I briefly considered the possibility you were referring to yourself, but after I had posted my comment.

My mistake.
