Rudy G. Says ‘BLM’ Is ‘Inherently Racist’ - Millhouse - 07-11-2016 I said recently in another thread that the 'BLM' phrase should drop the first word and replace it with 'All'. Now I dont know if I fully agree with what Rudy is saying here in terms of being 'racist', because I understand the BLM movement is aimed at the very rare unjustified deaths at the hands of a few cops. But I do agree with a lot of what he said overall. A lot of social energy is put forth in these protests for a handful of wrongful deaths, where is that energy for trying to prevent the other '99%' deaths of young blacks, let alone the energy in protesting the under-educated, single parent homes, violence & drug problems in the city hoods which according to some smart people is the root cause of a lot of these issues. Regardless at the end he is right, all races matter. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/rudy-giuliani-says-%E2%80%98black-lives-matter%E2%80%99-is-%E2%80%98inherently-racist%E2%80%99/ar-BBu9PPb?li=BBnb7Kz w/video of him discussing this Quote:Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday said more black people in the U.S. are being killed by other black people than they are by police officers, adding that the phrase “black lives matter” is “inherently racist.” an excerpt from CNN http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/11/politics/rudy-giuliani-black-lives-matter-inherently-racist/index.html : Quote:Giuliani also defended himself against criticism that he did not appreciate the problems faced by the black community, standing by his record as mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001. RE: Rudy G. Says ‘BLM’ Is ‘Inherently Racist’ - Nately120 - 07-11-2016 Man oh man, I really like Rudy G. as a "get stuff done" sort of politician, but I don't care for him as a soundbyte-spewing pundit at all. RE: Rudy G. Says ‘BLM’ Is ‘Inherently Racist’ - GMDino - 07-11-2016 We've had this discussion before. BLM *is* a specific thing. The other stuff is discussed by other groups. It is the same as when I get told I must not care about cops because I post something about BLM or I get told I don't care about black lives because I psot something about the police. You can care about both. What Rudy G is doing to trying to make it seem like caring about one thing is wrong if you don't voice the same concern about the other. RE: Rudy G. Says ‘BLM’ Is ‘Inherently Racist’ - McC - 07-11-2016 Seems like he is just expressing the potential for divisiveness inherent in the title/concept. Regardless of the organization's intent, in this, the real world, this cause has spawned unrest on top of previous unrest. RE: Rudy G. Says ‘BLM’ Is ‘Inherently Racist’ - GMDino - 07-11-2016 I was going to post this in the comics thread but... ![]() RE: Rudy G.

Says ‘BLM’ Is ‘Inherently Racist’ - Millhouse - 07-11-2016 So if a young Latino is pulled over and unarmed, but ends up getting shot & killed by a cop, can those that protest it march in a BLM parade? Or an Arab-American, Asian-AmericanRedneck American, Native American American, or Samoan American? Or should they just form their own nifty social media tags? If so thats a lot in play: BLM, LLM, ALM, AsLM, RLM, NALM, SLM. RE: Rudy G. Says ‘BLM’ Is ‘Inherently Racist’ - SunsetBengal - 07-11-2016 So, no one get the point that RG is making? If the Black community want to see and end to Black males being shot by police, they need to get the criminal element out of their community. That is a long story to undertake, but it is the truth. RE: Rudy G. Says ‘BLM’ Is ‘Inherently Racist’ - jason - 07-11-2016 Maybe the people who worry about their sons and daughters should sit back and wait for ALM and Rudy G to sort this stuff out. They've done a good job so far. RE: Rudy G. Says ‘BLM’ Is ‘Inherently Racist’ - Bmoreblitz - 07-11-2016 (07-11-2016, 07:54 PM)SunsetBengal Wrote: So, no one get the point that RG is making?

So if the gay community wants to stop the discrimination towards them, they need to stop being homosexual. ![]() RE: Rudy G. Says ‘BLM’ Is ‘Inherently Racist’ - BmorePat87 - 07-11-2016 "Why does BLM only focus on police deaths and not other problems facing the black community?" "Why does the NRA only care about the 2nd Amendment and not any of the other ones?" Interest groups often focus on one specific interest. As for the "inherently racist" part, this is the tool used by those who oppose equal or support bigotry. Garbage Trump supporters who back him because his rhetoric matches their bigotry use this line to try to deflect away from the fact that their beliefs were found to be wrong decades ago. RE: Rudy G.

So law abiding black males need to focus on stopping law breaking black males if they expect cops not to kill them during traffic stops? RE: Rudy G.

It's warped that you use an organization that is discriminatory by their very nature to try to illustrate how others oppose equal rights or support bigotry. But I have come to expect just about anything from the left. RE: Rudy G.

Yep. Law-abiding and productive blacks need to undertake the burden of stopping their naughty brethren. Peaceful Muslims need to address and stop their terror-loving compatriots. Christians who aren't crazy need to rise up against Pat Robertson and/or those guys who blow up abortion clinics. White males need to take time out of their lives to stop that affluenza guy and/or rapey white-bread frat boy d-bags. What else can I say? Um...thin people need to make a point to make fat people stop being fat. Rich people need to do everything they can to stop poor people from being poor....hey, wait a minute! Anywho, I find it interesting that some people feel the need to make any statement about a group or individual include themselves (under the guise of including EVERYONE). Can't people say black lives matter? Does black lives matter mean ONLY black lives matter? Hell, even if it does I'm fine with letting people say it. If "Black Lives Matter" means "only black lives matter" then scream it until your lungs bleed for all I care. Geeeebuz people, just ignore it! RE: Rudy G.

Meanwhile law abiding white male gun owners have no obligation to fix the issue of law breaking white male gun owners conducting the majority of mass shootings. RE: Rudy G.

Obviously the sane need to make the insane lone wolf gunmen of the world more sane and less lone...while remaining every bit as gunman, though. RE: Rudy G.

It is discriminatory (recognize a difference based on color) by it's nature because it excludes folks of other colors. Not sure how far to the right one has to be to consider a libertarian to be liberal. |
