Illinois NAACP leader says some very bad things - SunsetBengal - 12-19-2023 This article is pretty much self-explanatory https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/naacp-leader-slammed-for-racial-slurs-in-leaked-video/ar-AA1lJsXk?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=9ebfda3d261e432480370d1f7f731331&ei=83 Quote:In a recent controversy, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Illinois has been criticized.

Is by invoking his name somehow supposed to lessen the severity of the true feelings expressed by a supposed leader of an association for the advancement of colored people?

RE: Illinois NAACP leader says some very bad things - Millhouse - 12-19-2023 Is what she said more hate speech or leans more towards facts. If it's the latter, then it's not hate speech but more about the reality of the situation that should not be happening to begin with.

Quote:Also, Watson noted that Haley’s comments were similar to what former President Trump has said at his political rallies. In addition, Watson revealed that the meeting in October was not the only time Haley made questionable statements. “She made comments about the LGBTQ community,” Watson explained. RE: Illinois NAACP leader says some very bad things - Sociopathicsteelerfan - 12-19-2023 I'm sure I'll be attacked for this by the usual suspects, but this doesn't surprise me at all. Speaking generally, which is very important to acknowledge in order to have an adult conversation on this issue, the Black community is, by quite a bit, the most racist if we're speaking of ethnicities. There are, of course, racists in every ethnicity, but it is very prevalent in the Black community. It's not just me saying this, it's many of the Black people I know and have worked with or been friends with for decades. I don't at all think that black people are more inclined to be racist than any other ethnicity. But I do think, and many I talk to agree, that racism in the Black community is rarely, if ever called out. White people won't dare do it. Not calling it out is seen as at least tacit acceptance, which allows it to thrive.

"Also, Watson noted that Haley’s comments were similar to what former President Trump has said at his political rallies.

Hadn't brought him up if that weren't so. Also, I said it clearly that the comments were indeed bad. There's no question, I don't defend Ms. Haley in any way. I do think, however, that it's fair to wonder why Trump does not earn the same scrutiny for saying equally bad things. Oh PS sorry, Dino was faster, oversight on my part.

Calling people savages based on their race, ethnicity, or nation of origin is hate speech. Anyone on this board that uses language like that will be banned.

I didn't read everything this person said tho. Just the part about the crimes she claims are being committed, which is why I asked if there was some truth to that.

RE: Illinois NAACP leader says some very bad things - NATI BENGALS - 12-20-2023 I’ll probably go to my grave believing everybody is racist. I myself try not to be racist. But can’t help but believe we are animals. And we have certain things ingrained in our DNA. And back in the day, when a tribe of people were out fighting for survival, I would bet everything if they came across a tribe that didn’t look like them, they didn’t offer them food and seat beside the fire.

Well it’s definitely in our brains, but they don’t have to look different than you, that just makes it easier to identify people not of your clan. |
