Since I don't like being attacked I shouldn't attack others either. I acknowledge I attacked Brad. Some people claim I am misrepresenting his opinions. I don't see how I did. Here is his exact quote if it takes looting and rioting to make changes that may have otherwise never come to fruition, count me in. He supports looting and rioting for sure. Aren't burning and murder part of the riots. How can he say he supports the riots and then act like he isn't supporting those results of the riots. Now his exact words after count me in are I don't think anyone took joy in watching the events. It was upsetting. It was at times chaotic. I'm glad he didn't take joy in watching the events, but it still leaves him in support of the looting and rioting. Maybe he only supports the portion of the rioting that doesn't include burning and murder. I'm listening Brad if you care to explain.


Okay, so I am going to take a shot at this.

First off I am going to say a few things, because apparently I did not make my point clear enough in the original post for guys like kgdabom.

As a general rule, I do not support looting. As a general rule, I do not support rioting. Lets be clear on that. I don't sit back and wait for an opportunity to see someone looting or rioting. It's neither something I take great pride or joy in seeing. Is that clear?

At the same time, I do not support war. I don't wish it on anyone. But I understand at times that it is a necessary evil.

I also don't like process of getting Novocaine when I go to the dentist, but if it is going to dull the pain when at the dentist office you can use my cheek like a dart board.

Having said that, institutional racism has existed in this country for over 200 years. Despite countless attempts through nonviolent measures to try and alleviate or eliminate it, it still exists today nearly as much as it did 40 years ago. Denying that is akin to burying your head in the sand. The George Floyd incident was just another chapter of a book that has played out in this country for 200+ years. It is common place. It is evil. It is inexcusable.

In response to the George Floyd event, the people finally said enough is enough. Despite countless attempts through nonviolent measures to improve the societal norms, they took to the streets in a different manner. With most people protesting in a non-violent manner, some got carried away and burned buildings, looted businesses and unfortunately, some died. Most would agree that that is a fairly accurate description of what happened, would they not? For those that were in the politics thread of Talk Vikes, they know that I instantly called it a revolution. Some disagreed, but most didn't. As the protesting headed into week three, nobody was left to deny it.

The events lasted for quite some time, and took root throughout the nation and even around the world. What has come out of it has been some real change. Things that some thought would never change, have suddenly changed. Statues have fallen. Flags have been deemed racist in nature. The act of kneeling during the anthem was approved by the NBA. Soccer teams in Europe even kneeled during their own anthems. Choke holds by the police have been banned in many states. Some cities are looking at decreasing police funding and holding them more accountable. Historic professional teams have even changed their names. And on and on and on.

Is there anybody out there that thinks any of those things would have changed without the riots and protests? Because, with all due respect, I don't, and I think it's a little naive to think otherwise.

So, having said all that, I believe that the ends justify the means when it comes to this particular instance (< key statement underlined). It doesn't mean that I support looting. It doesn't mean that I support rioting. It doesn't mean that I support burning down businesses. When taken out of context to push an agenda, it may appear that way. But for those that know me best, they know exactly what I meant and have even so much as come in here to defend me.

What upsets me more than anything in this country is the lack of empathy towards the underrepresented. I've spent nearly my entire adult life getting to know the people of the city and their struggles. I've sat down and had dinner with them. I've had extended conversations. I've gone to events with them. In short, I've gotten to know them. So when something like the George Floyd incident happens, I feel their extended pain. It's this little thing called humanity. You may have heard of it.

So again I ask the question, was the looting and rioting worth it? Buildings were burned and businesses were lost, but good things came out of it. People's lives were altered. Unfortunately, a few people died. Many would say the very same thing about World War II. The ends justified the means. I would hope that we could get to a point in this country when it didn't have to come to that. Unfortunately, we are still a young country and have a lot of issues that have gone unaddressed due to a lack of humanity.

In short, the people of this country have had 240+ years to get it right. Which side of history do you want to stand on? I know which side I stand on, and I suffer no embarrassment in saying that the protests of 2020 were one of the bright spots in what was an otherwise shitty year. I feel sorry for those that lost their businesses. I take zero joy in those that lost their lives. But I do take a lot of pride in knowing that we saw a huge shift in the attitude towards institutional racism. It gives a glimmer of hope, in what was mostly a hopeless year. It once again proves that good things can come out of bad events. It's all a matter of perspective.

Now, for my critics, go ahead and grab one sentence or comment and blow it out of context to make it into something that supports your narrative. I feel no further need to defend myself. I've explained how I feel. It is here for everyone to see.

And for what it's worth, any one-liner responses or quick little jabs will get no response from me. If you wish to take a stance on the other side, make it thoughtful, respectful and thorough. Anything else is not worth my time.

Peace.

After reading that I still have the same belief about what you said. You said the ends justifies the means and it was an overall good thing that there was looting, rioting, burning and murder. Not that you per se are a fan of those things, but the results that came about made it worth it. I vehemently disagree. I don't believe those things had anything positive about them and even if they did it's still not worth it.
You talk about the 240 years of abuse. You fail to mention the incredible progress made over those 240 years. These riots in my opinion have set us back. The best progress was made under the peaceful protesting led by Martin Luther King Jr.
There is no systemic racism in our country. It is fully outlawed. Racism sure. Systemic. No way.
Team names being changed had nothing to do with the George Floyd Riots.
The NBA endorsing the kneeling is a negative.
I have yet to see that racism had anything to do with George Floyd dying. It may or may not have. Overaggressive police for sure were the cause of George Floyd's death. I'm not going to assume that the color of George's skin had anything to do with it.
As for your having dinner with the underrepresented in our society good for you. Those people are them to you. I have lived in the heart of the hood. Many of my best friends in my life Black, White and Native are from the hood. "Those people" are us to me. So what? Who cares?
Defunding or decreasing funding to the police is not a good thing.
Many times police die due to hesitating, like the one I mentioned who died here in Flagstaff. I'm not sure banning choke holds is the best idea.
So IMO all your support to the looting and rioting which included burning and murder did nothing positive, and has probably resulted in increased racism.
I however, believe that you believe those riots had good results.

Some of my conservative friends have shared with me all the very good things that Trump has done for minorities during his career.


What, you had a free minute and a half?

Lynn to me you appear to be a hard core democrat and a flat out hater of Mr. Trump. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's going to be extremely difficult for you to have an unbiased opinion. My friends shared and I listened. I take it all with a large grain of salt.

If somebody took hours telling you about the many good things Trump has done in his life you would just let it go in one ear and out the other. Am I right?
I listened when my friends shared with me the good things Trump has done. I'm not a fan of his, but I can accept when he does good things.

You want me to be open minded to the liberal propaganda and I actually am. I just won't accept any of it as accurate until I get hard core irrefutable in context proof. I hope you appreciate that I am not accepting Biden being a KKK supporter and racist just because of some allegations.
I'm open minded to the possibility that Biden and other liberals have done some good things in this world. Maybe you can try being open minded regarding the possibility that Trump has done some good things in his life.

Trump is a POS and hasn't done a thing that hasn't been directly or indirectly self serving.

Anyone who supports him, esp now, is not very bright. Period.

Every human living on this planet should be actively shouting out the travesty of this presidency. But 30 to 40% won't...cause they're not very bright. I don't care to be diplomatic about it at.

I don't care much that someone WAS supporter. No one should be now. He's disgusting.

I will always do my best to support our President to be as successful as possible guiding our country to success. This doesn't mean I will like every move he makes. To you Todd he is disgusting. To many he isn't. Clinton was disgusting having sex with interns in the Oval Office.

I don't blindly support anybody. I support the president in doing as good a job as he possibly can. If it gets bad enough revolution may be called for. We aren't quite at that point yet. I didn't like Bill Clinton, but I supported him.

It's a good thing we didn't elect Hitler, because kgdabom would have been all-in. And 40% of the country probably would have been right next to him.

Vell verth z cause

I can see his headstone. Here lies kgdabom, a man who always overlooked principles for the sake of supporting the president.

That's some kind of legacy right there.

You clearly don't know what support means. I will do my best to help every President lead our country to it's best possible outcome. To even bring up Hitler is disgusting. He was born in Austria and wasn't even eligible for the US presidency.

I never have overlooked my principles even while supporting Bill Clinton.

So a lot of people have posted various different ways to say that they think people that would vote for Trump are <some massive insult here> and I just wanted to point out that there is another way to look at this election.

What if Candidate T and Candidate B are running in an election. Back in school, they would have little cards that said what Candidate T and Candidate B stood for, and the implication was that you should vote for the candidate that you are more closely aligned with in regards to the issues they support. If this is the way you look at this election, then it may make a ton of sense for a person to vote for Candidate T if their policy opinions are better aligned with that Candidate.

I think this is a far more accurate way of looking at things than Poster M's 30-40% are not bright or Poster H's 40% would vote for Hitler nonsense.

Personally, it does matter to me what a candidate says and how they lead, which is why I cannot vote for Candidate T. But I do understand the other way of looking at it without thinking Candidate T's supporter are a bunch of dumb Nazis.

Candidate T can say ‘person woman man camera tv’. No one can take that away from him.

No, I think someone as nice as Lynn venomously spitting out a comment implying that your Mom would not be proud of you is a better cheap shot than I could conjure up.

But, KG, there is always a place for forgiveness with the left. They are really nice people, if you agree with them. You just need to become politically correct and it is easy to do.

So study this closely:

https://www.demconvention.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-07-21-DRAFT-Democratic-Party-Platform.pdf

Read it, know it, never sway from its contents and they will defend you to the nth degree or turn and look the other way when you mess up. You want examples? Let's pretend someone said that they support looting and rioting, because they will help make changes that may have otherwise never come to fruition. Now, you may think: "no one would ever say something so foolish?" But this is a hypothetical, so we can use crazy ridiculous examples.

You can say stuff like this and NO ONE that agrees with the link above will say one word about your comments. And, and here is where it gets exciting, they will actually viciously personally attack anyone that tries to refute that hypothetical comment if that person gets it partially wrong! (OK, sure the rioting did often involve burning and some people did die, but details, details.)

So, just take a day or two off. Study the manual linked above and come back here and spout from that 'truth'. And most here will love you for it!

If you want to express an opinion substantially different than the above linked platform of truth than you are going to have to learn to deal with cheap shots and condescension. Although do not be condescending back, because people can only be condescending TO YOU because you are wrong and it is OK to be condescending to people that are wrong.

I hope this post helped set you straight.

Now, you may think: "no one would ever say something so foolish?" But this is a hypothetical, so we can use crazy ridiculous examples.

You can say stuff like this and NO ONE that agrees with the link above will say one word about your comments. And, and here is where it gets exciting, they will actually viciously personally attack anyone that tries to refute that hypothetical comment if that person gets it partially wrong! (OK, sure the rioting did often involve burning and some people did die, but details, details.)

So, just take a day or two off. Study the manual linked above and come back here and spout from that 'truth'. And most here will love you for it!

If you want to express an opinion substantially different than the above linked platform of truth than you are going to have to learn to deal with cheap shots and condescension. Although do not be condescending back, because people can only be condescending TO YOU because you are wrong and it is OK to be condescending to people that are wrong.

I hope this post helped set you straight.

BINGO

If anybody else wants to take a cheap shot at me go ahead.


No, I think someone as nice as Lynn venomously spitting out a comment implying that your Mom would not be proud of you is a better cheap shot than I could conjure up.

But, KG, there is always a place for forgiveness with the left. They are really nice people, if you agree with them. You just need to become politically correct and it is easy to do.

So study this closely:

Someone took a creative writing class in school. I like that.
