We will see how that ends up, if they try to control it, then they will probably find themselves with some kind of workaround put in place.

ewv, what happens though, when a group identifiable by a specific characteristic, claims special privilege? Racism would seem to be more related to an abhorrence of a group based solely on that characteristic. If one has a dislike because of the claimed special privilege they did not earn through their own efforts, but claim based on their characteristic, is that not to be rejected? That is one issue I have with using "ism" statements, it tends to grant special immunity to a group based on an overall generic label. I am inclined to agree with terms claim of "being done with black people and their entitlement" in that just because you are black does NOT entitle you to jack squat. You are entitled to the same rights and freedoms, and responsibilities, as everyone else, and should be judged and related to as individuals. The "label groups" tend to use it a a refuge from responsibility.

My comments have nothing to do with race. It's entitlements that I don't like. Unfortunately for black culture a high percentage of blacks in my experience are very entitled

"i am so DONE with black people and their entitlements" and "If the shoe fits..." are overtly racist. So is making sweeping claims against individuals for their race on the basis of a claimed probability.

Racism is not an outdated concept no longer valid. The facts which give rise to it are judging people on the basis of inherited physical characterics like color, which we see throughout today's society from and directed at individuals of all kinds.

It seems as if "Black Lives" only matter as long as these morons can implicate some other race. Other than that the thousands of deaths in Chicago are just another "ho-hum" for the Soros inspired idiots! These poor folks are nothing more than Progressive "cannon fodder" as was the plan of Gramsci and Allinsky from the get-go! Need more be said?

Great! Now we are being lectured by a bunch of 3rd world Banana Republic despots! We should pay reparations when the UN finally gets rid of all of the modern day slavery and human trafficking. Then, and only then can anyone discuss this stupid subject with us. The world is going to hell in a hand-basket and these fools are fixated on this tomfoolery! Go figure......

BTW, these same idiots after October 1 (unless Congress finds some integrity and guts) will be running the Internet as well. Goodbye freedom and sovereignty!

I guess this is what we get for not allowing Syrians into our country in the same number as the Germans did?

exactly. Mankpulation is the order of the day unfortunately

Well, that in itelf shows how fickle politics is, their new president makes Trump look sane and a pacifist. Yet they will be the first to whine when the Chinese kick them out of the North Pacific and declare it theirs.

It is a key concept in how people manipulate each other. Politicians push the "you are special" concept.That gives them power oiver more groups, allows them to manipulate them with special laws and money programs. This all gets tied into the whole picture.

If the shoe fits... in this culture at this time and particularly in the west where I live- a very high percentage of black people definitely feel "entitled". It's NOT a uniquely black thing. Lots of other people feel "entitled" too so profiling purely on skin color is not 100% accurate. One must add in the way a person talks, dresses, and other clues to more accurately assess them.

This has nothing to do with "racism" which I would define as including someone as a legitimate member of humanity with the associated human rights. True racism died a long time ago. Now the charge of racism is just used to get special preferential treatment for some people.

I am not a racist at all. But I am certainly a culturist in that I prefer dealing with people who exhibit certain cultural traits- entitlement NOT being one of them, whether it be the entitlement of royalty, statist party members, or "black lives matter" proponents

And now the Phillipenes won't do US war games anymore. Great reduction in our influence there. Next Taiwan will reintegrate and Korea will but Chinese warplanes

Really? I was unaware. Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. After all, I'm an honorary Ojibway, Natïve American, so I'll try to get all of Michigan and Indiana back where it belongs.

Yes, but that really seemed to fizzel out, and even then, I remember that also kicked up the reparations bandwagon.

Yes it was an international court ruling that had been cooking for some incredible amount of time like 10 years). Despite all that "careful" deliberation, since they didn't like it, it didn't fit their plans, they ignored it. Another example of not getting along on the playground...

Actually, was that ruling even from the UN? I think it was an international court at the Haugue.

Yet another power grab by FDR. More government, more government.

Indian tribes routinely held slaves taken from competing tribes and from whites.

Equating "black people" with an "entitlement" mentality is racist. Opposing racism is a moral issue, not "politically correct". See Ayn Rand's essay "Racism" in *The Virtue of Selfishness". Racism is the crudest form of collectivism.

Is robbing banks to be regarded as no more than an "economic issue"? Economic motives attributed to everything is Marxist.

In the late 1980s or early 1990s, by an act of Congress reparations were paid for the internment of Japanese-Americans.

Jefferson opposed slavery. He even tried to put condemnation of the British for establishing the slave trade into the Declaration of Independence. He didn't have the authority on his own to abolish slavery whatever he could have done to denounce his own personal ownership.

Good Thinking, Chief!!! -- j

At this point it's the obamas followers who are racist

The "BLM" movement is certainly a conspiracy, it doesn't even tried to hide Soros' involvement via the Ruckus Society. I am waiting for the families of slain police officers to open a case against him. Civil forfeiture of his fortune would be poetic justice.

The only remaining important effect of a person's color/ethnicity is that it can make him somewhat more or less likely to listen to those demagogues who still consider race to be an issue. And pretty much to a man, they are deliberate troublemakers like Al Sharpton, whose deaths will be cause for celebration.
