Let's Start A Riot?!?!

The enmity from Burtgang can really help in a debate if he subs war and uses provoke.

Alright I mostly skimmed this thread because it got ignorant pretty quick, but let's see:

If we assume segregation ended in 1964 with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is laughable since it didn't take place right away, the first kids to get to go to the full schools was born around 1960. Their children would be born in 1980-1990, basically older millennials. That would be the first generation of blacks that had 'properly' educated parents. And that's...less than half the current population.

You cannot dismiss the impact of segregation on the current population. It was long, it was widespread, and it's still VERY much related to how things process now.

Add in that it's not going to be a full conversion to everyone trusting and listening to the government that had literally beaten them and considered them inferior for CENTURIES, and since American school funding is also heavily based on local taxes, and blacks were forced into low income ghettoes without an education for decades, means they also largely only had access to the weakest schools.

Until we have some proper education reform to help balance out school quality across the nation, and poverty reform to help the inner cities not be stuck the way they are, it's sadly going to be a slow trickle of inner city children getting a proper education and opportunity to join "civilized society". Until then we're going to keep having data "proving" that blacks are criminals people can point to, without them spending any time to understand why that data exists.

TL:DR - If you think segregation ended decades ago and everything is super cool now you're a simplistic moron with no understanding of sociology or nuance.

Sadly, most parents see public education as a government-funded babysitter for their children, instead of what it is supposed to be. And they neglect their children because of it. Or, more accurately, educationally neglect their children (as in, not be active in their child's education).

It's another strawman.

I think the pandemic shutting down schools proved this to be true across all racial and economic barriers.

I didn't imply that this was a race issue though.

I meant this as a general "what the *** is wrong with those young'uns nowadays" old-man rant.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't check this site anymore. FFXIAH has the political sense of a dead ferret. But what else should I have expected from the forums of a 20 year-old game besides boomers.

Let me spell it out for you.

If you reject the riots and looting, you are on the side of the oppressor.

If you spend your mental energy arguing that "hurr durr looting is bad" instead of the underlying issue of police brutality and systemic racism, congratulations, you care more about property damage than human life.

Because here's the thing. Black people have been "peacefully protesting" for *** DECADES NOW. Colin *** Kaepernick protested on national television and racist chuds like you would say, "me no likely when black sports man speak out!"

Peaceful protest has done NOTHING. And when black citizens are dying on a weekly basis from the *** POLICE, what else is gonna happen? The civil rights movement in the 60's only picked up because of riots and violence. If you haven't studied the history of civil rights your opinion is unwanted. If you want a start, go ahead and read MLK's "Letter from Birmingham Jail."

Target is going to be fine. They will file an insurance claim and get fully reimbursed. George Floyd's life is gone forever. The fact that some of you give more of a ***about Target than you do about the lives of the rioters speaks volumes about your character.

Vandalism and looting gets ***done. If that triggers you, then maybe you should help create a situation where maybe thousands of citizens don't feel like they HAVE to vandalize and loot to get people to notice them.

Wrong, looting and violence doesn't get ***done. How despicaple that people would promote that garbage. These people don't give two shits about the cause, they are looting to get themselves some Louie Vuitton. People are beginning to wake up to the stupid buzz posts that people like you blindly follow on social media. Looting is NOT OKAY, stop damaging peoples businesses and livelihoods!!! They are burning garbage outside people residental houses, they are robbing pharmacies of medication that people need to live. To hell with thinking thats okay.

Once again, these people don't give a ***who the guy who died was, they just want to raise hell and steal iphones.

The thread title told me to expect thinly veiled racism from people that think they're actually fooling anyone other than themselves about not being racist and you guys still managed to make me disappointed.

LOOTERS AND RIOTERS, I've said it multiple times already.

Multiple leaders in the black community have spoken out about this violent rioting and looting, the majority condemn it.

Why you thought this was a good idea because "this site has become boring" or whatever your stated reason was is beyond me. You knew what would happen. Feigning ignorance about the racial implications of the situation and the shi*storm that would follow by bringing it onto this site with a thread by claiming "I thought this was about Corona virus" is easily negated as if that was the case, you could/would have posted in that thread about Corona virus that wouldn't die.

You're a bad person and you should feel bad. No more memes for you.

Clearly opposing rioting and looting of people who have NOTHING to do with that mans death, means you're a racist. I wonder what you'll say when it effects you? He uses "boomers" to describe everyone here, maybe he still lives with mom and never had his own business to care about.
