And BTW, I'm not white either so you can take your "My People" nonsense and shove it.
Convenient "I'm not white" line now, Not buying it, just as no one bought your "I'm not homophobic" line when you kicked a dead man winning an Oscar by claiming the only reason the Academy gave Ledger the award for portraying the Joker was due their wanting to give it to him for
Brokeback Mountain, but did not, because in your mind, Hollywood is all about "the gay", so the Joker award was not for a DC film you've soiled endless threads with attacking, but for your ill-minded, cynical attack on the Academy's alleged beliefs and sentiments. You've never had a leg to stand on, so toddle off, boy.
"I'm not going to derail this thread any further" then proceeds to post more about the topic. I have no idea what your experiences are
Where this subject is concerned, my life and work allowed me to know what others only pop-off about in social media, without a particle of experience. In typical behavior, they repeat fed stories about Antifa as if the group are heroes, when I--and other black people around the nation know the opposite--the truth. We (my people) have seen black activism groups endangered to greater degrees when recognized/known Antifa members purposely traveled to legitimate protest events and committed assaults and other forms of destruction, often, and deliberately letting black activism groups take the fucking blame--and retribution for their terror. In my work, we have talked members of the group (those willing to do so), learning what their aims were/are, and its not what is being posted in this thread. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Its spoon-fed, fact-free, offensive bullshit but that's an easy position to take when their asses--sitting on that well-built-up White Privilege / Throne of Judgement (about that they will never know)--are not in the crosshairs (literally and figuratively) at a level greater than anything seen in decades. To this day, no matter what black activist groups say or present, they are unjustifiably linked to the violence committed by those infiltrating protests around the nation.
That is reality, not the hero fantasy pushed by a couple of utterly clueless board members (not meaning you).
While I appreciate
you taking the time to relate your own account of work for causes, I am not standing by to be offended by those who do not know the realities of this nation where protest, violence and most importantly--how its fueled an already uphill battle for people like me. Oh. but I'm certain the guilty will suddenly swing in, claiming they are on the front lines, but I will note that (in the event they pull that) was not anything worth revealing until now. All too convenient.
EDIT:
An excellent post, and let's end this derail. Take anything further to PMs or TNZ. Groovy? Groovy.
Timby, I just viewed your post. Whether you understand my position or not, I returned to this thread to see more of this offensive BS aimed at me, and the posts were not deleted (the same with my own relevant to the conflict), so it appeared as if this was a free-for-all about something of the utmost importance to my real world, and I responded. I doubt the members in question are going to PM me, as they wanted to "do their thing" here, but in the event they do, I can discuss the matter at that time.
