RIP George Floyd

[Mark Antony]

Man just come out and say "I hate N......" so we can move on.

LOL @ not believing in racism being considered politics.

That's lunacy.

 

[marikomorose]

Never understood why the hell this dude was a person America liked
he massacred thousands of native Americans, dude was a war criminal

If it weren't for Christopher Columbus the system in place today wouldn't be. He's a hero to many, and a villain to a lot.

ACAB ...no ?

Fixed


Part of me thinks they do it in order to fit in with their white counterparts

In areas within cities, like New Orleans and Atlanta, where the police force is predominantly black, those have been my experiences.

I’ve had my share with white cops, but most of my worse experiences with law enforcements has been with black officers.

rolaholic they tryna change Dundas St.

I'll always be behind efforts to get rid of street/school names and statues of old slave traders especially in a multicultural/melting pot type city like Toronto

Would be crazy to actually see though for a high profile street like Dundas which might be the 2nd highest profile street in the city after Yonge

Been loving the movement of rethinking which historical figures deserve to be honored nowadays and which one's don't. Been great to see in so many major cities around the world

Never thought I'd see the day that Naskkkar does anything like this
(driver is black btw)

That car is butt ugly though

 

[sooperhooper]

He doesn't realize that he has white privilege. Any person of color would've been in the same circumstance as Floyd.

Yea they will bitterly walk away and then finally find the balls to wear the uniform they had hung up and dry clean plastic wrapped in the closet

Don't think people know that a lot of these statues weren't up after the civil war, but years later when racists regained power in the union and decided to build monuments to quell the thought of any equality or rebellion from blacks. Just like some colleges built in the 60s look like eastern bloc architecture.

See Stone Mountain, GA. That 'monument' to the Confederacy was backed by KKK money.

If we are going to lop off the head of Columbus we better start investigating Thomas Jefferson. While that man may have done some great things for building a government that government he was intent on building wasn't going to be for people of color. Read his book, Notes on Virginia.
Here in KC they have started to mention renaming streets that are for JC Nichols. Again, did a lot for the building of KC but that KC he envisioned was not to include black people.

That goes for Columbus Day as well. What a farce of a holiday.

 

[Upptempo]

these guys are so used to being granted such an immense amount of free reign and power that even the thought of them being scaled back or held accountable for their mistakes makes them ready to walk away from their job.

Yonge dundas square should be Donovan Bailey square or something

damn, shots fired lol

Victim blaming at its most insidious. Instead of discussing the system that only allowed a few, the statement shifts the focus toward personal responsibility, that bootstrap ********. Jeff Bezos can still do more than all of them combined, with his having less talent to work with. Don’t get me started on how the christian church will run with that narrative as well.

People looking to get their jaw rocked.

It would be absolutely idiotic in 2020 to idolize or look to a compromised money worshipping athlete,entertainer,artist as a leader or voice of black people in america. Most of these folks just live on a much more comfortable plantation owned by much more intelligent much more deceptive slave drivers. Where the master says “look ill lace you with all the wealth to stand above your place and people of your origins...BUT you will never own one of these planatations that provide YOU the wealth and the minute I feel you biting for a seat at OUR table of OWNERS...we will try our best to destroy you and send you back among the people and place of your origins.
