/u/mach-2 Gives a well thought perspective on whats happening in Baltimore

This deserves to make it to the front page

Why? mach-2 is a shitposter who consistently churns out long ass posts that at a glance sound intelligent which is enough to get Reddit liberals and contrarians to jerk themselves into a frenzy about the evil neo-nazi Stormfront bogeyman that wants to bring slavery back and gun down minorities. Every time a valid criticism of black culture is levied, he swoops in to proudly proclaim "#notallblacks" because he can't distinguish the difference between being critical of a culture and being racist.

Now this is the only thread I will be commenting on because reddit is currently in its "fuck black people" cycle.

You can see he's already made up his mind about Reddit just like the rest of SRD users, completing ignoring any subtleties in order to fight a strawman. What's being criticized isn't the peaceful protests, it's the rioting fucks who are seizing the opportunity to loot. This is a distinction commonly made in the comments section, and it's not like Reddit has turned a blind eye to the Baltimore protests before the riots started. There were plenty of upvoted threads regarding it, and the userbase was supportive of the protesters.

Now we are in a world of dog whistles. Where the police won't come out right and say they are hunitng black men but would say they are hunting "thugs" or "drug dealers' or "urban youths'. For every stupid shit the media decides to show "youths" doing, white teenagers do the same. Is it hunting people to beat up? Read up on the murder of James craig anderson in mississipi . How about the video of those group of white kids that were beating up the Asian kid in an alley?

...except it actually is drug dealers and violent thugs being pursued. The person liberals chose to rally around for their "Black Lives Matter!" campaign, Mike Brown, had robbed a store and assaulted someone. Even Freddie Gray had been arrested over a dozen times.

Do whites Sure. Do they commit hate crimes? Sure. But they're doing it at a LOT lower rate than blacks. You can find reasons as to why this is the case (most obviously, poverty correlating with crime rate), but that's the reality as to why more blacks get arrested. They commit more crime.

First people said blacks were dangerous. They have always said blacks are dangerous and that if we dont want to be arrested we should not commit crime. Is that not the advice Freddie Gray took that led to him losing his spine in 8 places? How about the other bloke shot 4 times while reaching in for his wallet? Freddie Gray was arrested for being in possession of a switch blade! A SWITCH BLADE!

He literally committed a crime. I'm not sure what he's getting at. And as shown by his previously posted arrest record, he commits them quite often.

How many white guys do we see strolling around with their guns quoting the freedoms handed down to them from the ghosts of Washington past?

Because this isn't illegal.

how about this bloke who was gunned down and had a taser planted on him?

Or this reserve deputy that shot a black guy and said he thought it was his taser? The bloke is going to bahamas. Fucking bahmas

After the mike Brown fiasco, the DOJ conducted an investigation into the ferguson PD and discovered unmittigated instances of corruption so deep that the reports never made headlines here on Reddit even after they were publsihed. The same people posting these videos for "truth" were nowhere to be seen. They had no stormfront statistics to back them up or the token black man to confirm the prejudice.

Did anyone hear of these recent developments in Missouri? Did the chasers of racial truth on Reddit upvote them?

Parma, MO: "The first African-American female mayor in Parma, Missouri’s history was sworn in on Tuesday. Half of the Parma Missouri police department resigned on Wednesday. Five of the six officers quit immediately and three other city employees also vacated their positions."

Kinloch, MO: "Just minutes away from Ferguson, its now-famous neighbor, is Kinloch... They elected a new mayor earlier this month: Betty McCray, 64, a seven-year veteran of the Kinloch Board of Aldermen. But the Board of Aldermen refused to swear her in, and now McCray can't get into city hall. On Thursday, after she was sworn in by St. Louis County officials in nearby Clayton, McCray showed up at Kinloch's combination city hall and police department. She was denied entry and handed impeachment papers."

Literally all of these things were highly upvoted on Reddit. mach-2 is seeing what he wants to see to confirm his bias.

REV AL SHARPTON and JESSE JACKSON that Reddit hates so much always tour the country to have talks with black communities and yet the common concesnus is that blacks dont talk about "black on black crime".

The point that's being made isn't that it literally never happens, it's that the response to it is MUCH more subdued. Apathetic, even. There is barely anyone protesting in regards to violent crime deaths in Chicago, but thousands will amass to mourn Trayvon Martin's death after he was shot in self-defense after assaulting someone.

When we start considering things like socioeconomic factors, Reddit screams SJW! SJW! Academia because the discussion is only convenient when "the animalistic thug" black people are the narrative.

The relation between poverty and crime is pretty well accepted on Reddit. That's not an opinion that's consistently downvoted, it's just not brought up often. It'd be like going into a thread about a politician denying climate change and wondering why there's not as many people discussing the reason fossil fuels damage the environment. It's redundant.

anyone left of hitler is an SJW these days

Unsurprisingly, the SRD user has to diverge from his argument to whine about the term SJW.

The comments are all "BLACK LIVES MATTER KEK" and "These people wonder why they are stereotyped" . If at some point you find yourself supporting the active subjugation of a group of people and then in the very same thread saying "THESE PEOPLE ARE THE MOST RACIST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET" then there is some Olympic level mental gymnastics going on there.

Mocking piece of shit rioters isn't contributing to the subjugation of blacks. Being a piece of shit rioter does that.

Or maybe it will be Muslims next. Then it will be draw Mohammed or some edgy bollocks.

The funny thing about SJWs is that their heads are so far up their asses and they're so deep into their echo chamber is that their opinions become normalized and they're shocked that someone would label them as wingnuts. Maybe mach-2 wouldn't be called a SJW if he would doing things like, say, getting pissy about cartoons drawn as a response to Islamic extremists who literally kill people for drawing them or labeling everyone who disagrees with him as "s-Stormfront!".
