George Floyd Riots

You go first.

I am aware. Causing a pregnant woman to miscarry was a much lower punishment than killing anybody out of the womb.

It wouldn’t be good for us.

We wouldn’t survive it, no. It wouldn’t be good, if our survival was some moral rule outside of ourselves somehow existing in the cold, deaf, and dumb cosmos.

Seriously…

Now, I will bow out. Thank you guys for the civil discourse on it. I realize it’s a truly contentious issue. But, in this thread at least, I need to do the polite thing and let it go from here.

Or you can go here and knock your self silly!

That’s not what it says at all. It says that she is to be cursed to miscarry if indeed she cheated.

[Luke 16:17] 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.

That law includes the part that says thou shalt not kill.

Facebook takes down the groups and pages of peaceful organisations that don’t exist on mass:

Antifa are not going to use Facebook or Insta for any real comms but it is a good gate to close.

Wow! Finally, now maybe the riots and mayhem will stop!
Oops! Nevermind, it may take a few days to stop now that Facebook has removed them, what will they do now!

Night 84! We’re almost to 90, keep up the good work fellas!

" I want to make something very clear: the most brutal social structure that Western civilization has managed to force on the present-day Black family—the African family—is the alienating nuclear family structure. This structure not only eroded the modes that Africans had long thrived on and carried out in their tradition, it drove the production of social and environmental ruin.

The nuclear family is competition with one’s neighbours and family, rather than communal living, space-sharing and strength in the face of oppression: it is the erasure of our history; the replication of white supremacy with Black silhouettes."

It sounds like the plan is to go back to living as they did in Africa in the 1500s and earlier. The article neglects to mention that “the modes that Africans had long thrived on and carried out in their tradition” include polygamy, tribal wars, and slavery, is that actually the solution? Of course the same things were happening in other parts o the world and in some cases still are, but is the solution really to go backwards to a more difficult time? This is what they call cutting off your nose to spite your face.

It also neglects the fact that even in Africa, most regular average joe people lived in family units structured very closely to what they call the “Nuclear Family”, I.E. regular family units. Why? I don’t know, maybe nature? But nature is racist too.

When polygamy becomes widespread it leads to more issues because then you have a lot of single men who can’t find a woman, women are in short supply and the men with money, power, and social status try to keep them all for themselves. That’s one reason why those sorts of societies need to have war regularly, get more of the young men killed and at the same time maybe capture some girls from elsewhere.

I used to work with a girl from Benin, she said her grandfather has about 50 wives and over 100 kids. Apparently if you own a good portion of land over there you can get lots of women. She said a lot of single men travel around Africa trying to find wives, I suppose a lot of them are the ones going to Europe. It’s a situation that benefits very few people.

Someone needs to tell this clown that so-called African-Americans (black Americans whose roots in this country go back to slavery) are not Africans.

Is this true? Africa has many cultures and I think it’s racist to paint them all with a broad brush.

Also, those traditions also included slavery.

Spoken like someone from a broken home who has no experience with a real nuclear family.

I don’t think many black people here actually want that. I don’t think the black immigrants who come here, Nigerians for example, want that.

No. It’s how he assumes all people live there.

Here’s what these uneducated morons don’t see: white people don’t rely solely on the nuclear family. These afrocentrists talk about Africa and the reliance on the extended family but the extended family structure exists among whites as well. They look at it as an either or situation when that is not how it works among whites. White people have relationships with cousins, uncle, aunts, grandparents, etc. These clowns see white people as little islands comprised of two parents and their children. The nuclear family is part of a larger family structure.

From the article: “The nuclear family, and its individualized units led exclusively by patriarchs, are not of Black traditions.”

Patriarchs? Are we in 2020?

But we can find a matriarchy, it’s called the inner cities. Those single moms do a very good job of raising illiterates, sociopaths and criminals.

"the nuclear family model discourages African-rooted practices such as community fostering, fictive kinship, social fathering "

These are all things that exist in European cultures and in the US among whites. Again, the nuclear family is not an either or proposition.

This author is pushing a racist ideology. He wants to paint white people as cold, distant, uncaring about others, selfish, greedy, etc. It’s the nuclear family against the world.

On top of all of these idiocies, there’s another crowning achievement that the author is completely unaware of:

In order to even try to claim that these so-called white establishments like the nuclear family go against the African roots (ridiculously uneducated though he is of the cultures in Africa) of black Americans living here he has to assume an unconscious and collective race/culture memory centuries long.

This is not only completely and empirically wrong, it was part and parcel of the racist ideologies pushed through the last 100 years and more, which have rightfully found themselves on the trash heap.

" Who is Andray Domise? Well, for one thing, he was arrested in 2016 and charged with one count of mischief and three counts of domestic assault, all of them involving alleged physical abuse of his then girlfriend. An article about the case, which was settled out of court, described Domise as a “darling of the progressive scene in Toronto” who, despite a reputation as a stalwart supporter of feminism, “is known to have harassed and attacked feminists online for years, particularly those who speak out against male violence, misogyny, pornography, objectification, and the sex industry.” The response of Macleans to this courtroom episode was to suspend Domise’s column for a week.

Another commentator on Domise’s brush with the law described him as a “self-celebrating prat” (British and Canadian for “idiot”) whose “self-promotion drive” had ended up in a “ditch” as a result of his arrest. The commentator provided some info on Domise’s background: born Andre, Domise “switched to the more Caribana-inflected ‘Andray’ when he realized that ‘Andre’ comes with all sorts of inferences, none of them flattering.” When he ran for a Toronto city council seat, he served up a “fable about being raised in poverty” by a “single mother in a social housing complex”; in fact, his mother divorced and remarried and the family moved to West Palm Beach, and shortly after their relocation to Toronto Domise was a university student. As for his arrest, both Macleans and The Toronto Star knew about it at the time, but kept mum; not until months later did the National Post find out and break the news.

So it goes. Another day, another shameless apologist for the evils of Marxism being protected by his leftist media cronies – even when it becomes clear to everyone that he’s the very opposite of the pillar of honesty and virtue that he pretends to be."

Eh, the old ways seem marxist by coincidence. Older cultures were more collective by necessity because all resources were typically shared (which meant you had to pull your weight, or were a danger to the rest of the community). Newer more individualistic societies rely less on community for survival, and more on the family unit. Thats my take on why a “traditional” culture is nearly always going to be more “marxist” looking.

And forgetting all the while that Black Africans profited immensely from the slave trade as well.

Keep in mind, this is coming from Marxists. In other words, these interpretations of traditional cultures are seen through a Marxist lens and written down through a Marxist filter. This is why they avoid mentioning other aspects of these cultures that are not “Marxist” like slavery, polygamy, religion, monarchy.
