You argue about a double standard....how is your behavior not reflective of this? According to you:

The high rate of violence towards Black people is mostly committed by the state, not by innocent White people. And when it is just normal White people who do it, it's always taken out of context by the media.

The rare cases of Black on White violence are the result of uninformed angry Black people acting out for no reason at all, and the media intentionally covers it up.

When White people are violent, it's just the government...nobody to actually hold accountable. When Black people are violent, it's because we are dumb and violent and don't know any better.

When White people are violent, that only reflects poorly on the individuals who carried out the act--it has nothing to do with systemic racism or White supremacy. When Black people are violent, it reflects poorly on our entire race and culture, and proves that our movements are false.

Double standard? Look who's calling the kettle black....

Don't put words into my mouth please.. I do not recall saying any of that..

Of course there are individual white dumbass racists as well as institutional forms of suppression. I never denied these facts. What I have said is that the media reports on events that push their agenda. They don't dare to report on Black hate crimes when they occur. The state is the major perpetrator of White supremacy atrocities. (Tuskegee syphilis experiment).. Historically and to present this is true.

Also I never said that the knockout game reflects upon the entire Black race. That is popostourous. And the only reason I have said that the 'black lives matter' movement is false or manipulated is because a known Nazi collaborator in George Soros donated 33 million to the 'cause'.. A mega corporate elitist supporting a grass roots movement without a political agenda? No..

Thank you! I am all for putting aside our differences and getting along, uplifting each other with what we have in common with Rasta.

For I, the most prominent thing I have in common with Rasta is giving and receiving englightenment on Ital living, and living in spiritual connection with JAH in nature.

I think it is very healing for all of us to accept what each other think about race, and then to see what rasta say about race, and then just accept rasta for what it is.

I agree that too much anger has been caused on these issues, and that nothing that anyone says or does will change rasta, so I think

1) People have a responsibility to accept everything, ie rasta for what it is. Sure, they can have questions to learn about the reason behind thinking. But people shouldn't really try to change rasta.

2) Having put aside our differences, we can uplift each other with our similarities.

Blessings and much love,

Joe

That means stop posting and bringing this Fukkery to the forefront of the reasonings. I appreciate your response but

I had successfully pushed these discussions way to the bottom of the reasoning list and you decided to bring them all back up

Try one of the other topics

Let's get this forum back

may i ask you what you do in the case of elections? do you participate?

i really dont know what to do so i think i will go there to be signed but i will elect nobody or i write "selassie i" or "jah" on the sheet or something like this.

i agree with real libertarians as well as socialists to a cetain extent but there is no party i would support.

dont want to get too political here.

but it cant stay like it is today. ttip is insanity. i always say imagine there would be ten people on an island. and two of them would be responsible for the food. and those two would disappear behind a bush and talk about where they get their food from in the future, what they do to it and that nobody of the other eight has the right to know what happens to their food until it is handed to them by those two. if this would happen on a lonely island there would only be eight people left in the worst case. they would kill those two.

but in our society we are that distracted by sipping jim and jack, jennifer anistons haircut, jennifer lopez butt and the new star wars movie that we dont care at all.

especially in jamaica its just silly. arent pnp and jlp both acting like the sickest gangsters around? wouldnt join one of them just to be respected social wise. i was shocked how many jamaicans still see something positive in obama.

I have never really payed any attention to politics; never watch the news, or listen to the radio. So I don't know what I would do either. Probably wouldn't vote.

But, if you do want to vote, here in the UK pehaps the green party would be the best bet because they would legalize cannabis.

All the best,

Joe

somehow i like this attitude. because today all you hear from school teachers, bosses and friends who follow the main stream media wihtout thinking is "you should watch the news on tv", "have you read the newspaper today?" etc.

they put people under pressure and everything you get from the media is propaganda and nonsense. the different politics of the different parties are even together in the same secret societies. one of those is called "atlantik brücke" which means atlantic bridge. obama, merkel as well as merkels political challengers are all part of it as well as journalists of the big news medias and the big bosses of economy.

but even though youre not interested they are interested in you. politics play with you every day. this is like playing chess to them. so i have to be informed. they only work with the concept of fear, solutions and control.

the whole system when it comes to money is more than absurd. you can go to a bank and theyll give you 5000 dollars (for example) just because they have your word that one year from one you are able to pay them back. of course you cant do that so they will tell you that you have to pay 6000 dollars next year. makes sense, right? lol

so people have to work harder and harder for that non existing fantasy money just because they want to buy all of the stuff nobody needs.

the rich will getting richer and the poor are in a whole heap of trouble.

and because the usa and europe have all of the money and they are able to use all the sources of the earth they will have to be isolated from the rest of the world. there is no more place for refugees.

look at germany. they deal with all kind of weapons but the poor people from the countries which are damaged with german weapons arent welcome here.

we have to change the system.

but i dont know if socialism is the answer in every way. if a state is broke they will come with their taxes and rich people will leave. it doesnt work all the time. its all about forcing people to pay for this and that.

Yes, the system uses MANY tricks to advance their agenda.

A shooting that killed 4 marines happened a couple of days ago in Chattanooga by a Muslim named Muhammad Youssef.. The Obama administration tweeted happy Ramadan before even addressing the shooting.. Can't blame Islam for extremists but all white Americans are guilty for the Charelston shooting -- according to their media --... A disgusting double standard agenda.

Hemphill, for some reason these guys don't follow HIM and instead follow hate and racism.
