RIP George Floyd

I'm so nervous that the next time Trump opens his mouth. 4 years of this craziness with no end in sight. Pray folks, pray.
 
Yea, that is the part that confuses me mostly. :lol:



Man you are using 1960s talking points.
Stop. :lol:

Educated non-racist Latinos use the term brown, especially since the Chicano movement. It was a way to denounce white supremacy, even if the person is light skinned, as way to celebrate the non-European Aztec heritage of Mexicans.

"The Chicano Movement was heavily influenced by and entwined with the Black Power movement, and both movements held similar objectives of community empowerment and liberation while also calling for Black-Brown unity.[11][12] Leaders such as César Chávez, Reies Tijerina, and Rodolfo Gonzales learned strategies of resistance and worked with leaders of the Black Power movement. Chicano organizations like the Brown Berets and Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO) were influenced by the political agenda of Black activist organizations such as the Black Panthers. Chicano political demonstrations, such as the East L.A. Walkouts and the Chicano Moratorium, occurred in collaboration with Black students and activists.[11][6]

Politically, the movement was also broken off into sections like chicanismo. "Chicanismo meant to some Chicanos dignity, self respect, pride, uniqueness, and a feeling of a cultural rebirth." Mexican-Americans wanted to embrace the color of their skin instead of it being something to be ashamed of. Many Mexican-Americans unfortunately had it ingrained on them through society that it was better socially and economically to act "White" or "Normal." The movement wanted to break that mindset and embrace who they were and be loud and proud of it. A lot of people in the movement thought it was acceptable to speak Spanish to one another and not be ashamed of not being fluent in English. The movement encouraged to not only discus tradition with other Mexican-Americans but others not within the movement. America was a land of immigrants not just for the social and economically accepted people. The movement made it a point not to exclude others of other cultures but to bring them into the fold to make everyone understanding of one another."
 
I’ll never support looting and robbing small businesses which had nothing to do with what happened to George Floyd. What’d these small business owners do to police brutality? Why hurt your own people?

Looting and that stuff is collateral damage in any revolution...
so are casualties
but a person shot to death over a looting a pair of jordans, headphones, glasses, liquor bottles or whatever else
is no martyr in my eyes
 
Vermont is full of Bernie supporters, but there are some closet racists there.

Good for Ben and Jerry.
