Does
the fact that he's black have significance?? Would you say "I
heard a white activist this morning?"? He was amused?? I
didn't see any black brothers with that crowd; I wonder how
amused he would have been after being shot by said viking.?
So you're a racist.? How do you
define racist?? Prove up your insult.
You tried to play the racist card because I called him a "black
activist", a term even black leaders use themselves and how they are
defined on Pacifica.? It's not a derogatory term.? So I called you a
racist for doing that particularly because you made a racial issue.
FYI, probably because you never listen to Pacifica
Radio (which is very left wing BTW) they celebrate "black
activism" all the time.?
You are calling me a racist
because I don't listen to Pacifica? Do you have any idea what
racism is?? I asked you a question and for an explanation of
what you meant.? I have zero problem with black activism.? As
an example, I fully agree that you and I have done as well as
we have because we have benefited from structural and systemic
racism.?
If you'd posted the source of your
comment, we wouldn't be having this conversation.? I listened
to the interview and have the context now for why he thought
the whole scene amusing¡ªtwo different purveyors of white
supremacy (government and the insurrectionists) at war with
each other.? He's just going to sit back with his popcorn and
enjoy the show.? I'm not impressed with his casual and cynical
attitude, although I understand his anger.? Unfortunately,
he's applied the wrong context to this situation, imo. And, 5
people died and several were seriously injured.? It isn't
amusing.? I also disagree with the conclusion he came to from
watching Biden's meeting with the NAACP and others.? The black
activists out in front right now are all about pushing for
structural change via Biden's presidency and there will be
change.? It's the GOP they need to worry about, not Biden.? ?
The pro-democracy Democrats need to hold the WH and Congress
for multiple terms.? The GOP is now the anti-democracy party,
headed by tRump. They are transparent in their agenda; they
peddle any number of conspiracy theories to forward their
goal(s).? They are brainwashed and driven by their baser
instincts. A multitude of media outlets drive narratives of an
alternate reality.? They are convinced that the "others" look
down on them and mock them and want to take their freedoms
away.? They are armed with a victim mentality and they want
revenge.? They have infiltrated Congress and police
departments in large numbers. Let us not fool ourselves.
I predicted at the beginning of Trump's presidency that he
would start a war.? Turns out it's civil, not foreign.? Makes
total sense in hindsight. We are in a dangerous place with our
democracy.? Luckily, the pro-democracy contingent is larger
than the anti-democracy contingent and as long as we stay
engaged and committed, we will prevail.?
I believe, sadly, however, that more violence is on the
horizon.? 40,000 people attended tRump's call to action and
there were protests across the nation.? Somehow, everyone
except congressional Democrats knew what was going to happen
on January 6th.? The agencies tRump controls facilitated it.?
He is a traitor and should be prosecuted and thrown in
prison.? I always like to end on that note!!? Have a good
day.?
I heard a black activist this
morning on Pacifica say he was amused at the "viking" who
briefly took over the Congress chamber??
So here is the interview with Kali Akuno:
