I have a small problem (Opinions welcome)
5 years ago
IN NOMINE SALVATORIS DOMINI
I have a friend that well... him and I do not seem eye to eye.
I owe him a couple of art trades, but the problem is, this guy.... lets just say he causes problems. There is always drama with him or someone else.
This time its with me.
He did draw me a pic for a art trade, I want to get started on my part of the art trade.... But on facebook, I saw his anti-police posts and that did not sit well with me. It actually upset me to the point I did not talk to him for awhile. So, he asked me and asked me again and again over time what he did wrong to get my silent treatment, and I finally cooled down enough to break it down for him. Why I do not support BLM and why I don't hate the police and why he should leave BLM. I try explaining BLM does not have have anyone's best interest in their hearts. They are a destructive organization. Oh man he did not like it.
He is a person of color and supports BLM, not the police. I am a person of color too and supports the police, not BLM.
If you guys read my journals, you know why I do not support BLM. They start riots. Cause tons of property damage. Their riots have killed or injured other people including other blacks. They do not stand up to black on black crime so, I find their name "Black Lives Matter" to be utter bullshit.
I do heavily support the police. They represent law and order. I have a few friends in the police force. If anything, I do understand that being an officer comes with it's hazards. Any officer can meet someone that will not comply, have warrants or is a felon, and they do something incredibly stupid.
Humans are not the most logically sound species on the planet. Most are stupid like Pandas, but we lack the cute factor, but we are more vicious than bears and tigers combined when angry or frighten making us throw logic and common sense out the window, and we are greedy. We hurt and kill each other for the stupidest of things and take advantage of one another. No one is perfect. You can donate to pet shelters, but don't realize while driving you cut someone off today, jeopardizing their safety. A small example how stupid and selfish we really are.
And people, when they realize they are about to be locked up for stupid shit they did, or they are drugged out of their minds, or both, they can become quite vicious. Officers had knives and guns pulled on them. Officers had died serving the public, all because criminals do not want to go to jail. Yet, despite knowing that danger can lurk anytime around the corner, I salute the men and women that wake up to put that badge on.
Are there bad cops? Of course. They make a very small margin, but there are. There will be bad people at their job. From the Cashiers stealing cash and stealing credit card information off customers, to mechanics that did a piss poor job on your vehicle. However, bad cops are very rare as the weeks go on versus daily crime. When bad cops do hurt or kill people, then that guy or gal deserves to be imprisoned like a criminal. People do have the right to protest against bad guy officers, but when they start blocking traffic, attacking people, burning shit, and looting places.... that's not a protest. That's a riot.
He tries to bring up there are racists that will target him because the color of his skin. He plays the victim mentality like that there are people targeting him, like he thinks there are racist assassins in the bushes and trees by his house waiting to ambush him. No man.
Anywhere you go in the world, there will be pockets of racists. Some bigger than others. China for example do not like blacks. I am not sure of the percentage, but when you got a country demanding Disney's Star Wars directors and artists to remove Finn from the movie posters, played by John Boyega who is black; Then that is pretty damn racists.
Do I deal with racists? Time to time. I just ignore them. I do not care. They are not worth my time and energy. Racists are just bullies. If you do not give them a reaction, then they do not know what to do with you. So they are very likely to move on. I understand I cannot change people's opinions. People are always going to hate something or someone, or a particular group of people ect ect. People can only change themselves for better or for worse.
So, tell me what you guys think. Should I complete my side of the art trade?
Because, I do not have the stomach to do something for someone that hates the police. I understand I shouldn't let differences come between us, but I have no heart for those that despise the police, firefighters, medics, and soldiers that serve the public and their nation.

Seriously, you're being serious, right? This isn't some sorta April fool's joke or a prank or something???...
Please tell me you're joking...
I think it's strange how you relate BLM to violence, yet you understand that "Are there bad cops? Of course. They make a very small margin, but there are. There will be bad people at their job"
BLM is meant to be a nonviolent movement. The people who are violent and cause riots and looting are a very small margin, not associated with the BLM movement at all. They're just people taking advantage of a situation for their own gain.
Those violent people have nothing to do with BLM, and for you to believe that is mind boggling.
You want to know why it's on the news? Because it rarely occurs. It wouldn't be "news" if it happened often.
And to think you'd potentially opt out of an arranged art agreement just because you don't agree with someone makes you no better than a scammer. Don't go down that road.
As a poc, you yourself should know better than to poke at someone else who is a poc. And yes, I know exactly who this person is that you're talking to, and I'm incredibly ashamed in you, silver.
He didn't choose the color of his skin. He can't just get up and walk away from the hatred like you can. And you're wrong for calling him out like this, knowing he and his friends would see this.
I will quote a comment I made to someone, showing these videos. They are old, and there are hundreds more if you like me to fetch them for you.
"I find that hard to believe that rioters and looters were planted by the right. I have looked at videos, read stories and seen that the looting comprised mostly of blacks and they call it reparations. https://twitter.com/i/status/1293654570501935105

Me: why doesn’t BLM protest for innocent black people murdered by other people groups?
BLM: BLM is about police brutality on black people, not other black people unjustly murdered
Me: change the name then cause your message doesn’t match it in totality whatsoever
I agree with this podcast; https://twitter.com/i/status/1274088667355594754 "
Also if anyone in America should hate, it's me. I have middle east blood in me. I use to be Muslim. The people I once called brothers and sisters, may seem peaceful, but will tear down the western world and any part of the east not under Islamic rule down to the ground. I knew al-qaeda terrorists that was hiding in Islamic communities, and one of them I use to call uncle because he was a family friend.
I left Islam because It's more of a cult than a religion that prosecutes and treats anyone not Muslim like second class. You can be put to death if caught having gay sex. Whomen are treated like cattle. Islam is more than a religion, it is law, and any form of government is forbidden in their eyes. It sickens me that I use to be a proud Muslim.
So, when people see my tongue tripping Arabic name I do get nervous, because Islam made my people into Zealots, and cause great grief to this nation and others. Innocent people died all because some pervert Islamic zealot wanted 72 virgins in the afterlife. There are Americans still pissed after all the terrorist attacks, and I am not just talking about 9/11.
So don't tell me what people can't choose because I didn't choose to be born into a violent faith surrounded by Muslims that wish to tear down the democracy that protects us.
And if you say that is not true, there was a video of all these Muslim men here in the U.S. When the Imam asked. "Who here thinks Sharia law should be placed here?" And all of them men in the room raised their hands. And when I was a young one, I would go to such meetings with my dad, Friday prayer. I remember speeches how "America is sick." and "Islam is the way." So anyone that tells you "Islam is peace" either does not know better or is telling you a bullshitting lie.
And in Islam it is okay to lie to non believers to manipulate them. It's called Taqiyya.
Quran (3:54) - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers." The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which means 'cunning,' 'guile' and 'deceit'. If Allah is supremely deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same.
Sahih Bukhari (84:64-65) - Speaking from a position of power at the time, Ali confirms that lying is permitted in order to deceive an "enemy." The Quran defines the 'enemy' as "disbelievers" (4:101).
Why I left Islam, and left my Arabic "brothers and sisters" and my family behind. I refuse to do anything that can hurt America and it's people. Both directly and indirectly. (anything to chip away at this country's democracy) That and Islam hates dogs. their so called "Prophet" commanded his followers to go out and kill every dog in town. This guy can explain it better.>>>>>>r https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjUFV2idv4Y
So as a POC, don't give me that. "He didn't choose his skin color." Don't. When people know my background, I do not blame those that give me scowling eyes. I make due with what I have. I do not have a victim mentality that racist people are after me. That's just setting chains on myself if I do. Nope. I just keep moving forward. Got no time to think like that. The good news is those that give me those scowling eyes that if looks can kill I would be splattered all over the streets in a bloody twitching red paste is that, it's rare.
He can choose to keep himself in chains or keep moving forward. Sadly only one path out of these two will have a more positive outcome.
Second: If we can separate said message. Can we see that a movement, can be bad ?
I don't support the organizers of the BLM Ideology as the go about it in a manner that is not constructive, but is destructive.
Now as for the art, give him what you owe him, then break ties if you must.
But for you to break your word is damaging to your reputation and shows a lack of professionalism, so complete the deal as is your word and then be done with it.
If you absolutely cannot go through with the trade, then you should not benefit from it either and remove all instances of the art that he provided as part of said trade. Even still it shows a lack of professionalism from you.
Once the trade is done you never have to deal with them again.
your in the wrong here, this is really scummy of you man
