forwarding from seattle times - Arcanadigm 23 minutes ago I'm in favor of preventing unnecessary Black deaths, but this is unacceptable to me. The Black Lives Matter movement crossed a big line for me today. I view them as radicals, and I hope the FBI can find enough dirt on the organizers to imprison them. I hereby denounce the Black Lives Matter movement, and anyone who supports it. I will not listen to anyone, Black or White, who supports it. They are insane and evil people who only want to promote chaos.
This man deserves respect. He's a good man that marched with Martin Luther King and has fought for civil rights for the better part of his life. After everything he's done, this is the thanks he gets? All they say is that "White people's feelings don't matter." Well, guess what? If that's your attitude, maybe White people are done caring about your feelings, too.
I've tried to be sensitive, I've tried to listen, and now I'm done trying. White people should not have to tolerate this kind of disrespectful vitriol from Black people, simply for being White. I don't care if they call me a "White supremacist liberal" anymore, I'm not afraid to stand up to Black people anymore. I'm through bending over backwards to accommodate the warped mentality oppression has cultivated in their psyches. If this is how they repay people who fight for their rights, what hope is there for the White people who haven't?
So, no thanks, I don't care one bit about your Black supremacy movement. If you're offended that "all lives matter," you're a bigot. Not a racist, because you aren't a majority and you lack political clout, but the point is that if you were a majority... that's the kind of bigotry that would turn into racism. We may tend be a prejudiced race with a lot of blood on our hands, but you know what? I don't believe that Black people are morally superior. I reject that, whole-heartedly.
Why don't they mess with the Republican candidates who basically admit that they don't care about poverty, civil rights, or excessive imprisonment? They know they'd probably get shot, that's why. They know that we'll tolerate their verbal abuse and disrespect. I think we need to set some boundaries with the Black community. Let them know that they can't treat us however they want and get away with it. If they want to keep their White allies, they need to stop talking to us like we're their enemy. If they're going to treat me like an enemy, then that's how I'm going to treat them.
