We are tired of funnyjunk's oppression against black people. We are in the gay furrry community think that this is wrong and therefore we will thumb down this post.
booker t. washington a pretty cool guy. resolved to learn how to read as a slave child, saved up every cent after he was released to go to college, later in life built a university to teach blacks both book smarts and a trade so they can be productive members of the community with his own money and donations. worked himself to death running it.
What about Will smith, Morgan Freeman, Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X, Washington Carter, Denzel Washington, and many other examples of rational Black people who were/are successful and don't go into the streets causing havoc.
I have a hard time saying Malcolm X wasn't rational in his views. You gotta keep in mind what he was responding to. Besides the basic civil rights stuff, people were still openly lynching black people and even fire-bombing black churches. He advocated responding to aggression with aggression as a means of self-defense. In addition, he advocated for separation as a peaceful means to resolve the conflict, something advocated by Frederick Douglass. He was certainly extreme in his views, but I can't say he was irrational.
There are some blacks doing stupid **** and causing chaos so no blacks are rational.
And you guys say feminists generalize. I know it's a joke but this Ferguson **** is annoying and repetitive.
Now hold it right there.
These Ferguson people are stupid, but that's just people being people, might I remind you we have been dealing with feminists and white knights that are just as ridiculous. We are seeing the embodiment of this ignorance-glorifying racecard-pulling culture that has thrived because no one has had the guts to speak out against it.
Might I remind you, there are many above it, just like not all white college age women are *********** feminists.
Yeah. I couldn't find anything I disagreed with.
Shows that skin is just a marker of the culture you were raised in, and not how smart or well opinionated you can potentially be.
We just need to encourage these black communities to act less ghetto.
all about education. and these ghetto towns almost need to be locked down in a police state until all drugs and criminals are cleaned up and locked away.
it always cant be friendly. at times the human race can only be controlled by fear. no one wants a police state so we do all we can to prevent it. but if it keeps happening then out of fear people will change and try to do better.
Hasn't always worked out in the long run. Plus, even if it works doesn't mean its the best course of action.
I prefer a calmer method. Having people like this be at the head of the discussion. We can't have /pol/ fighting these white knights and SJW's. They just don't have the kind of appeal needed to help the issue.
The tone of the discussion needs to change from "a proud black culture struggling against racist institutions", to "we gave them equality, but we didn't get rid of the animosity and poverty-centered culture well enough".
all the social justice people can be handled in a short amount of time. publicly challenge them to act on their words instead of hide behind them. and yes the police state is more of a fall back plan or a get **** done right now plan. the best thing to do is give everyone a common enemy. in all of history nations have put aside differences to band together and challenge a threat. maybe instead of glorifying all this "thug life" ******** we could glorify an old american dream of work hard to make your dream come true. if we had enough role models to show this younger generation that the problem would stop.
There are lots of rational black people, but we never hear about them. Black people who have honest jobs, don't commit crimes and act calm don't make the news.
It's just like plane crashes. Thousands of planes make it from their airport to their destination without problems, but as soon as one crashes it's all over the news.
