Okay. What does that have to do about people not talking about the shooting in Chicago? Again, people have been discussing it. It has gotten plenty of attention.
Educated Negro was actually originally a slam against me because pgabs couldn't handle another black person diagnosing his main character syndrome, that he then added to his signature to I guess continue the joke
Pgabriel is black; he's wrong, projecting his own regrets on the rest of us and seeking attention in the most confounding way possible, but individual black men's perspectives are not an outlet or subset of your own.
Haven't read last few pages. I feel sorrow for the families . The 86 year old's death bothers me the most. I honestly get a lot more upset, emotional, or whatever when I see some of the senseless murder by young Black men regardless of the victim. A man kills his wife, I don't get upset unless it's cruel . It's their business. I don't know them. In Houston there is a murder every day The white supremacy shootings used to not happe the last 40 years but I'm not gonna panic. If they start happening more will be a lot more concerned
I understand your post And that nobody here truly cares about crime at all except you and me and a couple of other posters Here they are just using the crime as a political blame game They don’t see the big picture like you
It's just with the recent draft to consider banning Roe v Wade, the history of sterilization and use of minority women as guinea pigs for early contraceptives, faulty IUDs like Dalkon in the 70s which has since been remedied but still causes apprehension among women at present, it wouldn't surprise me to see laws written considering the sterilization of prisoners again or women that have x amount of children citing concerns over welfare budgeting or what have you, especially with the wave of alt-righ candidates vying for house and senate positions in the fall. I mean you remember Reagan touting welfare queens back in the 80s right? These same people will also call themselves Pro-Life while pushing such legislation if history is any indication, which when you're talking about surgically removing the reproductive organs of women seems anything but in my opinion, unless they make that decision for themselves and not the pressures of outside forces. I think it better to give U.S. citizens the most amount of choices in birth control available to them and not pigeon hole women into only one type of contraceptive to appease people whose motivations to push such legislation I find questionable at best. Not to mention that condoms are not only used for birth control. They help minimize the chances of other STIs while being sexually active. So when I see potential elected officials openly discussing a ban on things like I condoms, I'm just thinking that will cause a rise in STIs across all sexually active people, including members of the gay community, who typically have to take extra steps if they wish to procreate themselves, and catching STIs would only add more steps to the process not to mention it'd only escalate the likelihood of further public health crises, and as we've seen with how people have reacted in lieu of Covid, human beings tend not to react well as a group when facing a public health crisis. While I do agree making access to all methods of contraception an easier thing is a good thing, making only long term contraceptives the solution is not the solution in my opinion.
The original poster may have been black but now. .. . . nah . . .Russian Bot Hacked and took the account Rocket River
What regrets are you referring to. If you don't know ow me you need to stop saying that. What do you know about me?
. . . . @pgabriel You want to update the title to say you don't Care about Uvalde either? Or do you care about Uvalde because they not black people dying? Rocket River
That you are an attention w****, who has been bringing up the same topic in the most absurd ways for years.
Taking the country as a whole we don't care about the Buffalo shooting, we didn't care about Sandy Hook, we didn't care about Parkland, and we don't care about Uvalde. We will express thoughts and prayers but then do nothing to actually change. If anything we're going backwards. This is a political problem but more than that this is cultural problem. It's a culture that is run through with fear. A culture that is run through with alienation. A culture that has fetishized violence. A culture that values short sighted thinking and often pits the perfect against the good. A culture that prizes freedom but downplays responsibility. Until we can fundamentally change our culture there will be no political will to change anything.
There are indeed organizations out there on the ground that address all types of problems and are putting in work in communities across the country, but they don't get the support and resources that they need from the powers that be and the ruling class. And that's just one issue. As far this dumbass thread on "black on black crime" is concerned: white people have been raping and murdering everyone in their path, including each other ("white on white crime"), for hundreds of years all across the globe through imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism. The system today is operating exactly how it was designed. So to the idiots in here, bring that same energy when you bring up dumb topics like this and tell the whole story.
