Please please stop letting media narratives control your thinking. That's not true at all. So there are no white men in prison for murder or manslaughter? Our people are often more likely to be poor and do what poor people do out of desperation. You think poor people in Laos or India wouldn't do the same exact shit. Crimes committed by white folks is always reported like some extraordinary shit when its mostly common place like every other mouth breather. Media which is mostly made up of white people control how its spun so we all walk around thinking saintly white people have to be tempted with ungodly sums of money to be bad and black people will kill their own mothers over a bag pork loins. You don't see the picture being painted there?
Never met a feminist who treated male rape survivors the same as female rape survivors. But, they’ll tell you that the incidents (the rape survivor double standards) are isolated...
Please, I know from personal experience how quick people your own color are to stab you in the back. "Media narratives" my ass, you're not talking to a programmed moron. Meanwhile the Saatchi Brothers (white people) had an epic battle over their company back in the 90s-00s with millions at stake. That's what it took for them to turn on each other.
I'll say the same things I'd say when women are victims in this kind of circumstance; why didn't he go to the police and file charges? She didn't force him to do anything. He could have just left at any point. And, if it's true that he was sending her romantic messages afterward, then you know he's full of shit. Look, he banged an older woman who wasn't that hot. Woke up with a case of coyote arm, felt bad about it (because of her looks) and decided to play victim and get a come-up check. Wash rinse, repeat. Sad, cause it's cases like these that take away from real cases of sexual assault and harrasment. Had this happened in the Midwest, where often the age of consent is lower, it wouldn't have been an issue. But, California ...
So basically in your mind white people only do dirt to one another when a lot of money is on the line? Interesting
This was plain gross. Very disappointed in how TYT covered this and if they know what's good for them there better be an apology soon or they're gonna lose a lot of viewers. Can't believe Cenk was that dumb smh
Cenk said similar things years ago. He and Bill Maher are always on this tip. They have always been rather gross about it.
Pretty much. You can see everyday how these white GOP for example cape for each other. They ran a known pedophile in Alabama and nobody on their side batted an eyelash. He's still not locked up. They unite behind Trump no matter what he says or does. Meanwhile Boots Riley, who just made a new critically acclaimed indie movie, downtalks Spike Lee's new critically acclaimed indie movie. Black men and filmmakers united? Nah Living in your bubbleworld must be nice, though
Although I understand what you are getting at and in some ways agree, men arguing over each other's "artwork" is something that happens in all fields using all mediums. I agree to a point, but I think this is a bad example. The GOP example, however, was spot on. I have noticed that black female opinions tend to have a lot of sway as to whether black men stick together or not (Kind of like beta simps vs alphas and such). In regards to the GOP "sticking together" I think it is often more of a party thing than a racial thing. Their party tends to stick together and back each other through a lot of stuff when they should probably jump. I vaguely remember Jamie Foxx mentioning this. I think it was during a thing with denzel washington, richard gere, and matt damon. Finally, to TDK's point, I think he means that it only "appears" to be support. I happen to agree with him here as it is more about saving face and maintaining appearances than it is about truly supporting each other. Even though terrible things happen, WASP Ultra-Conservatives pride themselves on ignoring the elephant in the room.
Thank you that was my point exactly. Myopic irrational support exists everywhere. Damn near 15 years after being caught on tape molesting underage girls the black community finally decided to disown R.Kelly. There were protests in Brooklyn after the officer who killed Akai Girly got arrested. Asian people thought it was messed up the cop was being held accountable when white officers got to go free. Yes momentarily it seems like they have each others back but not really. We see how flimsy the support is on the right. They are the law and order folk but look how quick they turned on the FBI (mostly conservative agents) when they investigate trump. They're loyalty is moment to moment convenience. The only thing they believe in is individuality above all else. I always say you can tell how bullshit the GOP anr white supremacy is because it has nothing to do with unity or love of other white people its all about hating others. And at some point the others can be white too ie Catholics and Protestants. There is zero loyalty in this game
If you venture into the thread about disgusting ass pedo teachers, you can get his opinion. Fair Warning, his opinion is gross.
I know right. I be wanting to do that with some of the other post people on here make. Great points on social matters.
