Do you really want to compare the violence from some fringe, looney rightist groups to the violence of your accepted, mainstream friends in BLM, ANTIFA, and generic leftist protesters from the recent past?


I would not say BLM and ANTIFA are mainstream. I do not support either. Many folks on this board DO support groups like RAM, which is hypocritical, myopic, and dangerous.

“I believe that there is a racial gap between white people and black people. ”

The frick does that even mean? Of course there is a racial gap between the two. One is black, the other white. Doesn’t mean one is better than the other.

How is that hypocrisy? You haven’t provided anything as to how people who support the arse kicking of antifa losers are hypocritical. So are you just saying that because you’ve been called that your whole life?

I'm an independant and not much like you at all. I also don't give my opinion unless asked and think most opinions, including yours, suck.

They aren't "protesters". And someone has to do it.

So you hate one side for being violent, but you praise the other side for being violent. That's what I mean by hypocrisy.

I personally support neither side, and neither should anyone with half a brain.

Obama had BLM at the White House. When are mainstream democrats going to condemn ANTIFA and BLM for being the hate groups that they are.

Not everyone is a liberal or a conservative

Most people are centrists in opinion

40% vote Democratic, 40% vote Republican, the 10% are Independents in reality, and the rest of Americans are apolitical/don't vote

You've never seen me praise them. In fact, not 5 minutes ago I called them fringe lunatics, so take your "hypocrisy" and stick it up your arse.

I . . . acknowledge that America has a deficit of trust, and economic competitiveness.

I . . . acknowledge that far left liberalism and far right conservatism is destroying America.

I . . . am a centrist.

I . . . believe that if you want to protest police brutality, it should not be a crime.

I . . . believe that there is a racial gap between white people and black people.

I . . . believe that it is the responsibility of black people to control their communities and cities.

I . . . believe that it is the responsibility of white people to understand that black people live different lives than white people.

I . . . criticize both ideologies equally and with rigor.

Look at you celebrating violence while condemning violence on the other side. You can't help but be hypocritical with a stance like that, and you are so myopic you can't see it. I honestly feel sorry for you -- your cognitive prowess is clearly not optimized for critical thinking.

I'm not going through your post history to confirm or reject that claim, so let's just say I don't believe you.
