Love your post... thanks for sharing. I like how you think, and I think more people will listen to you and consider the movement, because you don't put others down to bring yourself up. Good for you.
I'm not trying to flip, but why not? We should be, to the limits of our abilities, working to accept everyone EQUALLY. That means no one gets preference, and no one is put down. We need to move toward social structures (like BLINDED interviews) that avoid unconscious prejudice, and punish conscious prejudice.
@NedfromtheNed So what is that your justification for splitting a race up. Lmao you know what I meant by other races not taking flack but it's funny cause in a way you're proving me right. I wonder how many Hispanics, Asians, and Arabs get this Yugoslavia talk when they gather and show pride? Hmm...
Your a complete cretin. If you had any form of substantial intelligence you would understand.
Races are killed for being full of pride all of the time, to declare that only black people get killed for being prideful is laughable at best. Not only do you not know what the break up of yugoslavia was you dont even have the common sense or want to appear somewhat intelligent by looking it up on the internet. Because you seem ineligible of operating a search engine i will explain it for you in the simplest terms possible, hopefully you won't find them to confusing. Yugoslavia wasn't a race (seriously? A race! HA!), it was a country located in Europe, near Italy to be precise. Yugoslavia was the union of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Slovenia. There came a time, in the 1990's, when Serbs ust started killing scores of people. Particularly, non-serbians and Muslims were the vast majority of their ethnic cleansing. After the war, yugoslavia was split up.
@NedfromtheNed "to declare that only black people get killed for being prideful is laughable at best."

"Yugoslavia wasn't a race (seriously? A race! HA!)"
^ No shit I already know about all that -_- I was asking about the relevance to my post

^ Lmao forced guy. You're trying so hard to seem so smart :D :P You're that angry teenage in the back of the class room no one talks too who has to try an put people down in order to feel good about himself, I pity you and your complex. I mean look at you stalking this page getting all defensive and shit. Have a seat and hold this L bruh ^_^
First of all, in your initial comment you made it clear that you though black people are the only ones wronged for showing pride. "It's only an issue with others when it's black pride but not other races smh", so i guess i may of added 'killed'; however, the two coincide so it should not distract from the main part of the message. You also state, "So what is that your justification for splitting a race up" in connection to my comment about the break up of yugoslavia. This allows for the simple connect between the two to be made. To the average person it would be apparent that you were referring to yugoslavia as if it was a race. If that isn't what you meant, you should work on making your thoughts more evident in your writing. You state that i am 'forced', i frankly have no idea as to what that means. However, i have inferred its meaning by reading the rest of your comment. Obviously, you are upset that i have outclassed you in this conversation. Since you have run out of things to
say you revert to pointless and incorrect assumptions, as if you were some highly educated psychologist. Your assumptions are, of course, false. But, im not here to prove, nor can i prove, that so i will return to my assumptions about you (looks like we can both do it!). You are out of any arguing points and you feel intimidated by my more sophisticated vernacular. You decide to play the role of psychologist and 'analyze' me because you think it will somehow be correct or prove you are just as intelligent if not more than i. You laugh because you know you have nowhere to go, you laugh because you realize that it is all you can do.
@NedfromtheNed Lmao no bruh I'm laughing cause you and all you comments on here are funny Off another post "I think a simple observation would make apparent the similarities between all of the comments i have posted on. They are all incorrect."
To the average person it would be apparent that you were referring to yugoslavia as if it was a race. If that isn't what you meant, you should work on making your thoughts more evident in your writing."
^ So we're all wrong and you're right? Sit down man and hope your phase will pass "referring to yugoslavia as if it was a race" especially with that ^ smh lol
"So we're all wrong and you're right?", no you dipstick. I commented on posts that were wrong, any organism with eyes and the ability to think could see that i didn't comment on all of the opinions. "Sit down man and hope your phase will pass", what the heck does that mean! Use understandable english! Explain what you say!
@NedfromtheNed Now go reread my original post and look at where we are now.. exactly my point smh lol but ima let ya rage on kid :P Nothing on the internet draws out the angry, racist, or bitter like pro black post lol let the kid be CHAR he'll tire himself out
"It comes as a surprise to people when I say that. Both black and white. And it warrants many different reactions. Mostly negative. And mostly from fellow black people. They don't understand how I can possibly be for people like myself and not be against people that are different. They perceive it as me "selling out". I've had people tell me I'm ashamed of who I am and that I'm a disgrace. They even go as far as calling me "white-washed"."
Yes, there are some very hateful people in these groups, but the majority of them are not. And I know that I am not. I dot have any issues calling any person out for being hateful. Black, white or blue.
I've always been indifferent towards it. From people at my liberal college saying black lives matter and black power etc. It doesn't matter to me since I don't treat people of race different.
Absolutely nailed this! Hates, stereotyping, and division has increased even more recently. All of us need to come together and end these injustices, whether it be under "black power," "Black Lives Matter" or another term to unite us.
Possibly because all of the racism in our society had a lid placed over it that after the string of murders by police the lid blew off and the water boiled over causing people to either reveal their true feelings or develop these feelings.
Every group should protect its interests. Likewise pro-white groups are by no means necessarily ant-other groups. Protecting the interests of your group does not mean you have to hate anybody else. It is a fundamental right that every group should exercise, if it has any sense of self-preservation. However, I think it should be obvious why mixing groups within the same country can be very problematic.
@NedfromtheNed the stupid "no all lives matter" is completely missing the point. You probably picked that up from Fox News or something.
The Black Lives Matter movement is to right a wrong and create equality and accountability for government officials to not profile and abuse based on race. It's not saying any life is worth more than another.
The black lives matter party is, for the most part, an anti-white and almost anarchist force. They call for the killing of not only police but of whites in general. They do not want peace, they only want race war, they grew up with images of Martin Luther King (a great guy) and now think they can find equal fame by starting a race war and then playing the role of peacekeeper, the same thing is going on in the White House but i digress.
There are countless instances in which black lives matter have supported the killing of people. These people claim to be Ghandi, they are just another Milošević.
NedfromtheNed Saying that is dismissive of the fact that in America, Black lives have never mattered since they stepped foot on slave ships. Despite your very self-absorbed feelings and viewpoint on this topic, BLACK LIVES DO NOT MATTER and have not mattered to many police officers, persecutors, judges, lawyers, and even funeral home workers who still refuse to pick up Black bodies up until this day. There is no debate. Many people do not think black lives matter. Period. That's why they showed more concern for a lion in Africa than they did for a 12 year old black boy who got shot with a toy gun. That's why they blamed Treyvon Martin for defending himself when a grown ass man who's not a cop seemed to be stalking him at night then approached him aggressively and provoked a confrontation with him.
NedfromtheNed So you need to humbly get the fuck over yourself then comprehend that not everything is about you, your feelings, and your lame, unproductive desire to mask your intention to shove your thoughts down someone's throat online as an actual debate. The more you trivialize, the more you make your mind look like unaware, unintelligent, self-absorbed filth.
Wow, way to bring out the big guns. Attacking me as a person... um... good one? I like the way you really went for it. You just went and left all logic and attacked me based on your little knowledge of me as a person and my personality.
I dont really know what we are arguing about anymore; however, i do recall you giving up (or that, at least, seems like something you would do). Not to mention, from what i do recall the vast majority of your writing was jejune and severely mislead. If you feel the need to continue this now pointless argument go ahead.
Based off what I've seen for myself, yes. Do I think all white people are like that? Of course not. But any kind of pro-white group I've seen has had hating blacks as the purpose. But that's based on what I've seen.
Well that can be explained by the fact that the only people bold enough to claim they are proud of being white are the hillbilly bigots. But I am proud of my race just as much as you are yours, although I don't have the freedom to say it without being considered racists. But I have no issue with any race.
I also see many pro-black groups who are anti-white which gives some similarities to what you said about pro-white groups. Yes it isn't all pro-black groups, but there is a lot of anti-white bullshit spewed under the topic of being pro-black.
I understand the need to rise up from the hatred of the past and there definitely needs to be an ability of a marginalized group to speak up and overcome, but I don't believe it should also allow bigotry of the other side.
I agree. Bigotry gets us nowhere and fast. I hate that there vendors has to be pro-this group and pro-that. Especially in 2015. Race should not still be an issue.

One of the best questions at the last democratic debate was asked by a black American teen, 'do black lives matter, or all lives matter?'.
I can tell you how the candidates responded impacted how I felt about hem.
Basically- I agree with you.
Thanks.
"At the end of the day, we're all human beings. We all bleed the same red color. None of us had a choice as to what the color of our skin was going to be."
Indeed.
I understand what you mean. Being pro-X when X has a lower standard of living than the general populous isn't being against the general populous.

We need to move toward social structures (like BLINDED interviews) that avoid unconscious prejudice, and punish conscious prejudice.
I don't completely disagree
If you get in a position of power, please work toward getting BLINDED interviews accepted at your company.
Preach! It's only an issue with others when it's black pride but not other races smh
False, ever heard of this thing called the break up of Yugoslavia?
@NedfromtheNed
Yeah and?
Croatian pride, killed. Muslim pride, killed. Bosnian pride, killed. Non-pro-yugoslavia pride, killed.
You have obviously never heard of it.
@NedfromtheNed
So what is that your justification for splitting a race up. Lmao you know what I meant by other races not taking flack but it's funny cause in a way you're proving me right. I wonder how many Hispanics, Asians, and Arabs get this Yugoslavia talk when they gather and show pride? Hmm...
@NedfromtheNed
And black pride ain't killing anyone :P

This goes to show that many races, cultures, and groups are killed for having pride.

Nice try. I will leave you with one last message.
Beware of what you say about those you criticize. You maybe worse than those you persecute.
... ohh and i am the wiser and you are fool.
But does being pro-white equal being anti-black to you?
Not always, but in some instances yes.
I wonder when is it that we started dictating people by their skin color. anyway excellent take. People gotta realize race isn't real.
Thank you.
Pro-black groups aren't anti-white, but:
"It comes as a surprise to people when I say that. Both black and white. And it warrants many different reactions. Mostly negative. And mostly from fellow black people. They don't understand how I can possibly be for people like myself and not be against people that are different. They perceive it as me "selling out".

Ok...
Ahh, I smell what you're cookin.
Yes, there are some very hateful people in these groups, but the majority of them are not. And I know that I am not. I dot have any issues calling any person out for being hateful. Black, white or blue.
Do you think its a Generational problem? Has people criticised you are much older? Of course I believe in equality and I agree with your take.
They haven't been much older. Usually around my age or younger actually
I see, a bit short-sighted then.
Pretty much.
I've always been indifferent towards it. From people at my liberal college saying black lives matter and black power etc. It doesn't matter to me since I don't treat people of race different.
Absolutely nailed this! Hates, stereotyping, and division has increased even more recently. All of us need to come together and end these injustices, whether it be under "black power," "Black Lives Matter" or another term to unite us.
It has increase drastically. I feel like I've been teleported back to 1950. United we stand, divided we fall.
Possibly because all of the racism in our society had a lid placed over it that after the string of murders by police the lid blew off and the water boiled over causing people to either reveal their true feelings or develop these feelings.
I agree. A lot of people have shown there true colors.
I think just a lot of people are freaked out by that "Justice OR ELSE" slogan from the recent million man march.
I think a lot more people should be freaked out that signs such as those have to be made in the first place
Every group should protect its interests. Likewise pro-white groups are by no means necessarily ant-other groups. Protecting the interests of your group does not mean you have to hate anybody else.

BLACK LIVES MATTER!!! Agree and love your post.
Thanks bestie!
False, all lives matter.
@NedfromtheNed are you going to go on everyone's post?
I think a simple observation would make apparent the similarities between all of the comments i have posted on.
They are all incorrect.
@NedfromtheNed the stupid "no all lives matter" is completely missing the point. You probably picked that up from Fox News or something.

Hmm, interesting opinion. But again you fail.

Eh, i dont really care to continue this
@NedfromtheNed cool, seeya
Sorry if i was a bit of an ass. I get kind of heated :)
@NedfromtheNed it's all good.
Does pro-white mean anti-black to you?

Sadly there are many stupid ignorant people still needing a good ass kickin. (In all races)
Indeed.
If we're all human beings, then why do we need to use these darn labels like "Gay" marriage or "pro-gay", "pro-black"?
Sure pro-black =/= anti-white, most people know that anyway.
Everything gets a a label these days. More ways to divide and conquer I guess.
Well it's rather moronic, but you can thank left wing radicals for that.
Great take as always!
Thank you darlin!
Excellent!
Thank you!
Rock on!
Great take!
