They have very little clout, and Barack Obama being elected at one point had very little to do with them and he did very little for them.

They're 13% of the population. They should have exactly 13% of the political power.

A major point of intersectional identity politics is to get the other 87% to align their power with the smaller, easily controlled groups. That lets you control a larger bloc without having to do more things for a more diverse constituency.

This is another Instagram post. I swear, I’m tired of seeing everyone self flagellating for this cause:

Now that I think about it, we’re witnessing a modern day flagellent movement. Instead of whipping themselves to repent for the Plague, they’re whipping themselves to gain acceptance from black people (which won’t happen on a massive scale since salvation and redemption are not part of social justice ideology).

I was responding more for you. How has it changed things for you? I'm not saying shit things can't happen with certain people getting into power, just offering some sobering advice that you're better off sorting yourself out than constantly worrying about what happens in 2030, 2040 and beyond.

A lot of trends right now are showing normal people are fucking fed up with progressive lunacy. Normal people will always push back against things even if the party you didn't vote for wins one here and there.

Dindus rioting and burning communities is far more of an impact for normal people right now that worrying about 2024.

How has it changed for me?

...I watched my state's infrastructure finish getting hijacked, realized the thought that Virginia was becoming a purple state was a delusion, and am beginning to watch monuments be ripped down, icons destroyed, and archives burned. Gun rights, which once upon a time were mostly unrestricted, are now being slowly boiled away. In the very long term I will probably have to abandon my home because it will eventually become unsafe.

I do sort my affairs, make sure I am building up funds, etc. But this ends up affecting my local community, I can't completely ignore it.

I don't think Normal People will push back against it enough.

I cant make my mind up which on a scale of 1 to 10 is more dumb.

The attractive riot cop taking easy grab neck break hair to a close quarters combat situation or Sony and their absolute fucking bullshit?

it's extra dumb because the riots have resulted in like 11 deaths already, and that number will likely increase.

somehow everyone forgot that we're in the middle of a global pandemic with a disease that most people shrug off, but can easily kill the hell out of an old or unhealthy person. All the karens on my social media accounts immediately went from chiding everyone to stay at home forever (because it saves lives!) to supporting the protests and excusing the looting because "it's just stuff," all in the span of a day or two, but a virus doesn't give a fuck if you're on the right side of history or if the TV you're looting can be replaced

the bodies are gonna start stacking up again like cordwood in a week or two, the protest's indirect bodycount caused by huge a nationwide mob setting off another surge is going to be significant

How'd we get into a world where binary good-bad thinking came to be the norm? It seems lazy to lay the blame on social media, but I'm really chewing at that one. It feels like the country's moral compass is being adjusted by a swarm of people with the maturity of a 14 year old.

"People die" VS "property destruction" doesn't really seem like a case of GOOD V BAD. Well, since I guess killing someone is worse than breaking their stuff, that must mean that breaking their stuff is good.

Because millenials and zoomers communicate with emoji's and in 220 words or less.

There is a strange narcissism among blacks that I can't put my finger on. They get outraged when something happens to them police brutality related but to anyone else they don't care. MSM gives them lots of attention. A white meth head resisting arrest who dies in police custody (happens all the time) would never even make the news.

They act like they're the majority in the USA but they're less than 15% of the population.

minority rights is code for minority rule. They want to give all these groups DISPROPORTIONAL power. e.g. gay shame month. Okay if homosexuals want to celebrate this month in their local community, fine, but why are you forcing me to worship gay shame month? Why do I need to worship Harvey Milk as a Saint? Stonewall as a temple? Clearly you're establishing homosexuality as the state religion and forcing me to worship it and if I dislike that, I'l fired from my job. This is not "equality" it's "minority-rule."

6 months from now? 2020 is a schizo drunk on moonshine and high on PCP. Do you know how many things it can throw at us in that time?

Hey, anyone remember impeachment 5 months ago? That "stain" on history that everyone was totally going to care about forever and ever? I don't either.

Couple of choppers have been out for about a half-hour now circling overhead, probably both police and news. Cars are honking, some people walking down the street chanting as they move towards the corner. Things are starting up again it seems here in MKE. It's nice weather, cool and breezy, with a partly cloudy sky. I just wanted one night where it didn't feel so tense and stressful. :(
Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 90's which doesn't bode well unless we get predicted rain. Mayor cucked out at press conference earlier (of course), I turned it off. I don't hold out a lot of hope in getting much sleep tonight again.

The white guilt is real and it’s sad that people feel like they need to feel horrible about themselves because of their skin color

I love it when white liberals post gay shit like this and an uppity Shaneequa comes along and tells them to stop making this about white feelings and shut the fuck up.
