To mention race as far as 1 life or another is racism.
IF all lives mattered, race would not be brought up by the black people.
You have freedom of speech. enjoy it.
Besides,if that high track Cat in your pics is how you earn your living,you don't anything to worry about.
plenty of people hiring and paying good money.
1 of my friends has been "working" for himself for over 20 years. made some good money but blew it all.
Hit bottom last winter, his truck broke down,his mother died,and etc.
He woke up 1 day,decided to clean his self up, and went and applied for a job as a track hoe operater.
within 7 days, he went from a unemployed ,down and out fellow to making 24 dollars a hour starting.And was willing to do over time,which is even MORE money, 3 months into that job and he is Loving it.
A racist is a person who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
I belong to a group that believes African Americans are treated like inferior people. That makes me a champion for equality of this ethnic group. For that I get marginalized by people that resent me for bringing up the subject of inequality. There are people who argue, treat me poorly, or even hate me. Those are racists. I didn’t re-define this group. I just pointed out that there’s more than one way to see racism at work. Far be it for me to shut down conversations about any subject, but, in particular, the love of my fellow man.
You are entitled to your views. If you believe supporting organizations like BLM does more harm than good, so be it. I find that that view is too narrow. Many people and a good amount of members, have taken umbrage on the fact that this is a group for African Americans. This is true, but, do you think, maybe, they should have start a group called “Caucasians for Negros? Bottom line, Twisted1975, you seem to be smart and educated, so, I don’t believe you don’t know what I was trying to convey to Phart, but, it sure stuck to your craw what I said to him. BTW, if someone gets offended by your beliefs, perhaps, then, you shouldn’t socialize with that person. It’s ok to disagree, it’s quite another to be offended by other people’s views.
anyway,
why is that folks don't want race to be a part of anything or miss use it?
hear me out. Blacks have had a rough row to hoe literally since they were brought here. BUT the past few decades things have really moved them up in the world.
So why can't the blacks be proud of their accomplishments' like a good education or a good job without taking anything away from others?
Why can't whites do the same, and other races of people?
We should not have to be sorry we are white, they should be sorry they are black, why can't we just all work towards something better? Instead of letting the media and politicians keep digging up the 60's?
The black people I know, are good folks ,hard working, educated. and proud of it. And you know ,they don't blame anyone else if a business venture fails, they regroup and start over. 3 black fellows I went to school with are business partners with 2 other black fellows and they live well. each 1 has a "department' they look over ,like transportation or warehousing materials ,buying land. They buy a plot of land, grade it ,and build houses and sell them, turn key,all in house. no outsiders.They grew up poor like I did, but didn't blame anyone,they just went to work and built this big company.
Do I have to continue?
I have yet to read a answer in the media, or anywhere to that .I just hear and read that providing ID is preventing blacks from voting. We have discussed here before. A ID can be had cheap or free. There are free rides to voting booths on election day and so on. 40 years ago, they might have had a legit gripe, but any legitimacy is faded and gone.

Voter ID laws deprive many voters of their right to vote, reduce participation, and stand in direct opposition to our country’s trend of including more Americans in the democratic process. Many Americans do not have one of the forms of identification states acceptable for voting. These voters are disproportionately low-income, racial and ethnic minorities, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Such voters more frequently have difficulty obtaining ID, because they cannot afford or cannot obtain the underlying documents that are a prerequisite to obtaining government-issued photo ID card.
Millions of Americans Lack ID. 11% of U.S. citizens – or more than 21 million Americans – do not have government-issued photo identification.1
Obtaining ID Costs Money. Even if ID is offered for free, voters must incur numerous costs (such as paying for birth certificates) to apply for a government-issued ID.
Underlying documents required to obtain ID cost money, a significant expense for lower-income Americans. The combined cost of document fees, travel expenses and waiting time are estimated to range from $75 to $175.2
The travel required is often a major burden on people with disabilities, the elderly, or those in rural areas without access to a car or public transportation. In Texas, some people in rural areas must travel approximately 170 miles to reach the nearest ID office.
CAT
I SUPPORT voter ID. What I don't support is the voter having to TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES OR HAVING TO PAY FOR THE PAPERWORK THAT IS REQUIRED.
This requirement to vote mostly affects the poor, the low income, and the old. You own a vehicle and are able to drive it. There are massive amount of people that don’t own a vehicle. They rely on public transportation. You receive some disability income and also work your own business. You have the ability to take a day off and drive to wherever you need to go, These people don’t have the luxury of loosing a day of work. Then, the costs (more than one) Here in Florida, like everywhere else, by Federal law, you need these documents to get a drivers license or ID card

And you have to do this in person. Many people in this situation just say it’s not worth it and choose not to vote. Okay, one less vote, no sweat, but, think of this. People in this group is traditionally more liberal and leaning to the Democrats. Now, guess who are pushing for Voter ID?
Still, you say, it’s a good idea to know who is voting. Okay, then make it easier to get the ID, In Florida, an ID card cost $25. A birth certificate is $15. Eight dollars more if requested by computer but the ID card has to be in person

They do have a “legit gripe”.
You have to be able to prove who you are at some point in your life.
Granted, without a serial number on our heels, our "papers" are vulnerable.

Now let me ask a question. Isn't it true that a young adult can apply for food stamps to include ALL the people living in their home and only have to prove their identity only? The mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, or even a non family dependent would be part of the formula to calculate monthly allotment. None of these people have to have an ID card. They can't vote but, it proves my point
See, you do understand!
Their lives still don't matter to you and many others, including police and politicians,
so therefore black people bring up race.
Peace does not make money for the media.
'Peace does not make money for the media.' True, isn't Fox News not 'the media'?
It is even America's most watched 'news' media network.
And it is stirring up your fear, anger and hate 24/7.
Sean Hannity is paid $ 42 million per year to do nothing else.
Sean Hannity is breeding hatred against the poor and adoration for the rich.
Tucker Carlson, who earns $35 million/year, uses fake populism, to do the same.
And he is creating distrust of science and 'the media', while he is that fake media.
He is also assigned to the job of breeding fear and hate against all non-whites.
He is openly presenting KKK propaganda on live television. It's pure
'White genocide conspiracy theory' on a slightly softer tone.
Same propaganda, but just cheaper liars.
"Stop all the underhanded exchange of money and be more transparent."
Exactly stop racist right-wingers from paying crazy Republican politicians
and black lives might eventually matter also.
that there is not a direct link between money and hate or control of people.
Money is not evil in that sense, but it causes selfishness and shortsightedness.
That has everything to do with money and short term profits.
The people with the money are using 'divide and conquer' methods,
(to control people), to maintain and increase their wealth and power.
THAT RESULTS in hatred and evil.
And now think further; who has the money and how do they use it?
claiming he needs it for his legal defense. And idiots like you are giving it.
Wasn't he supposed to be a billionaire? Why does he need your money then?
The donors that are stupid enough to fall for their propaganda.
When the familys of the fallen blacks receive nothing from blm, although they are the suffering 1's, people should be able to see right thru the greed and violence and know this is not a legit group trying to actually Help any cause the black people may need help with.
Bernie madoff was put in prison for similar things

Just how reckless are they with their donations?
Folks like myself would not be nearly as resentful of blm if the news storys were something like, "blm gives 50,000 dollars to homeless shelter" or "blm gives 50,000 dollars to victims family".
BUt it is shit like this that prompt folks like me to despise the group

But, people are getting tired of Old Joe’s Democrats. I’m sorry but I think we are going to loose the midterms
Ditch the january 6th crap and put that effort into fixen the country and you might regain some headway lost.
Every time she opened her mouth, she dropped another few percent.
And she finally was so humiliated that she dropped out.
Even Major Pete would be a better choice. At least he was in the lead for a while.
And he can argue against right-wing 'arguments' much better than Kamala.
But, after Biden, you need someone really strong or they will lose.
Please don't go with some weak, mealy-mouthed corporatist. Choose a populist with charisma and courage instead. Or at least the person who comes closest
to that type of character. But maybe not someone who would be vilified by the corporate media 24/7. So AOC is out and Bernie too (and he is too old).
Do you really think Kamala Harris can win at messaging from bullshit artists like Trump or Ron DeSantis or heaven forbid Tucker Carlson? They would crush her.
In the Trump era, you don't even need a politician to run. Better not, even.
Your best bet would be to demand Jon Stewart to run for president.
Jon Stewart would crush them. And he would also give the media a spectacle
that they like, so they wouldn't vilify him. You need someone who can do that.
