also racists can fuck off

Everyone is racist to some extent. It is an inescapable fact of existence, resulting from the operation of the survival centers in our reptilian brains. The best we can do is be aware of it and attempt to counteract it individually. The first step is waking up.

i think you might be projecting just a little bit there

Pfft... Don't insult reptiles. xD
It's all just a pain in the ass. Humans can't live in peace because many still fight to be able to fight only and do not fight for the right thing. Not for each other. Only against each other in most cases. That's why stupidity will always rule this world unless all countries become one and are ruled by a single dictator with effective, yet fair methods to punish crime and unjust without looking away or abusing that power: In other words. As long as it's a human that rules the world this will never happen probably. But until then IF it ever happens we all must watch out for our closest ones... take care of each other... as long as our life allows.

transphobe says what

that non sequitur in their profile really threw me off

they've since updated it and now it's even more TERFy

oh my god

This is complete rubbish. Racism only continues to thrive in society as a direct result of the stupidity that is the "social Darwinism" of capitalism. Suggesting that it is a constant throughout human history is a purely metaphysical argument, which fails to understand why conflict changes through time.

Mmmm, no it isn't ya closet racist. Racism is a societal thing, perpetuated by beings like you and those far worse than you (full on racists) who teach their offspring to fear that which they don't understand.

can't pretend to be enlightened with a bio like that lmao

oh my fucking god he rewrote the entire thing

there's no way rewording it can change how bad the opinions are

also i got a shout flaunting the fact that its Higher Ed Lit, as if the guy actually reads professional papers on the stuff he was talking about

it's just getting more and more unhinged

Well said.

Thank you. It's been said louder and better already -- but we all need to say it.

This can't just "go back to normal".

Nope. We need to build a better normal. And it's going to take a lot more than just yelling.

Fuck yes.

agreed completely.

Preach it! Can't wait to see what apologists and all-lifers show up so I can add them to my growing block list.

The is the exact opposite of what is needed to push for change. Together is the only way forwards.

Lol. Don't try to concern troll me, jackass.

I almost fell for it, too.

Fuck off

They've circumvented being blocked on FA by pestering me on Telegram, then circumvented being blocked on Telegram by pestering me on Twitter.

Wow, you're dealing with a real winner here.

bonus points: they did the same to me, too!

Good news!

I fully support their protests, but I hope there are no more riots. After all, destroying buisnesses only make access to resources for everyone very scarce in a time where resources are stretched as it is.

We stand!!

Violence won't advance a civil issue

Indeed. Violence begets violence. Hell, look at the Middle East...

Violence created the united states dude, when peaceful methods fail, only violence remains, for to refuse to resort to violence as the last resort is to submit and accept the atrocities you oppose. This is a simple truth as shown by our past.

Ohh but when they peacefully protest they're told to shut up and stop disrespecting the flag.

What do you want them to do?

If you don't mind my opinion being here, I am not racist I just hate everyone equally.

No justice, no peace.

Well said!

....................................................................................................................When you say "Black Lives Matter" you are not talking about the group funded by George Soros are you?

I'm saying that Black Lives Matter.

Okay I just wanted some context. And they do matter.

You realize BLM is not an actual organization, right? Good lord.

Yes it is.

Who's their leader, what is their annual operating budget?

Well according to their website https://blacklivesmatter.com/our-co-founders/
Patrisse Khan-Cullors is a Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor
Alicia Garza is a Co-Founder and
Opal Tometi is a Co-Founder.

As for funding they have received 100 million dollars from liberal donors, 33 million coming from George Soros.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/new.....-liberal-foun/

Co founders, are not the current leader. BLM is a social movement, not an official organization.

Also lol so what? Why are you all so fixated on George Soros?

He funds terror and wants to bring down the USA.

FOR what little it's worth, funding terror: unacceptable. Bringing down the USA: Maybe not a bad idea considering we're a bunch of squabbling mini-nations who can't even agree on if women should be allowed full autonomy over their bodies or not

Not even in the slightest. Turn off Newsmax and OAN and consume something more substantive.

Fuck right off with that antisemetic dog whistle. This isn’t facebook. It’s less of an organization (since it isn’t one) and more of a social movement anyhow

god, I wish a magical shadowy billionaire would pay me the big bucks to...uh...not like racism

it'd be a nice source of passive income

Literally everyone dunks on billionaires what makes these people think that suddenly we'd magically pick the most jewish billionaire to pay us money instead of literally anyone else or someone local to the US itself, much less when people dislike billionaires for having too much money that could go to other things/people/projects/paying people

in a world where literally everyone is begging for them to donate to stop global warming and other shit. It's baffling that people are so fixated on that one random dude and it's plain as day as to the true motivations people have when they bring him up. It's very gross and I do not stand for such blatant antisemitism.

I wonder just how many peaceful protests worked compared to the violent ones. People forget that peaceful protesters are often shot and attacked anyways. They show pictures of MLK but they forget that he was designated a criminal by the moderates of his time.

Remember when we peacefully protested by kneeling during the national anthem? No one got hurt, the message was clear... Oh right, America still lost it's shit.

A lot of people (myself included, still, to some extent) have a painfully whitewashed view of MLK and the civil rights movement.

Protests become riots because certain outside agitators show up and start causing trouble.

You can tell who they are because they came dressed for a riot--riot gear, shields, batons, tear gas...

meh

I hope with all my heart that things can improve...even if we are steadily setting the world on fire, I'd rather we have at least tried to make things better before we burn...

That aside, I abhor bigotry (and on a personal level, do not understand it) of all forms, so I hope the protests here do not devolve into something easily broken or vilified, and that things get better. It hurts to even think about how many innocent people are being murdered by cops, and the ones I've seen fill me with an endless rush of hatred and horror.

We can only be strong when we are united as one, and are at our best in terms of thought, feeling, and purpose.

I sincerely hope that your country is able to navigate this and come out the other side a stronger and more *united* "united States of America"

The rest of the world is watching and praying.
compassion, tolerance, understanding, acceptance and *fair and equal treatment* regardless of race, sexuality, colour or faith, should be far more commonplace than what it is.

Stay strong!

I first saw this journal, didn't see the point in leaving a comment since I couldn't add anything and the message is pretty clear and I agree with it and then I came back today and wow I'm amazed how fast things can change, every post or art piece I saw on the topic always have at least one guy trying to get some attention from it, either a troll or just some racist but never anyone making a valid point.

People can be judgemental to others based on whatever reason they can find but to out right say everyone is a little racist is pretty dumb.

Everyone just gonna ignore Floyd was ODing on fentanyl?

https://youtu.be/g8hGKB5QDhw
1:02 - Officer says “Dude what are you on?”
1:35 - Floyd says “My stomach hurts, my neck hurts, everything hurts”
1:40 - white residue on Floyd’s mouth - foaming at the mouth - https://mohopeproject.org/what-does.....ose-look-like/
2:25 - Officer says “this is why you don’t do drugs kids”
5:14 - Officer says “Don’t do drugs guys”
5:51 - Store Employee “He’s off crack right now. He highly OD’d”
6:47 - Ambulance arrives - no questions asked immediately get him in ambulance because they know he’s overdosing.

We going to ignore the two independent autopsies that said he died of asphyxiation?

I'm only aware of one, and he refuses to release the documentation, but is openly speaking to the public. Imo not a reliable source.
What's the other one, can you link me to it?

of COURSE it's a fucking sergal avatar saying this shit. Of COURSE!

of COURSE it's a fucking ******* saying this shit. Of COURSE!
Anyone that was mad at YetAnotherNobody (https://www.furaffinity.net/journal...../#cid:57198790) can eat their words now

get off my profile

Safe space time

Shut up dumbass lmao

Hey man there's plenty of cool sergs too, one of my friends who is one is super supportive of the protests

I agreed with dis

Agreed.

America, more than anything, needs not more war, but healing. Not more disgust, but empathy and support for those who are suffering.

Until it's no longer controversial to say that a marginalized group matters, there will continue to be that need to express it. Black lives matter.

Why do we have to pollute Furaffinity with politics? It accomplishes nothing and destroys friendships.

Because the alternative -- sticking our heads in the sand and pretending that systemic racism was put to rest decades ago -- is absolutely fucking unacceptable.

Because this is babby's first puritanical spiral. Why accept reality when you can get yourself off on meaningless good boy points?
Telling a bunch of furries something will surely do something in real life right? Surely this will end the racercisms to yell into an echo chamber

What have you done to ease racial tensions?

Don't lie

hidening comment really

You know what fen, fuck this.
I’m out.

Blocked

good riddance, bootlicker.

+100000.

Spot on with your comment.

Ok terrorist sympathizer

Fen just made me lose most of my faith in humanity.

Don't worry, there's still some people that have some sense left

hahahahahahahahaha

The number of salty racists/bootlickers in this journal lmao

👅💦🥾

Just wanted to stop by and say that almost a year later: justice has been served, somewhat. Derek Chauvin has been found guilty on all accounts.

we did it reddit
