I always like and enjoy these AD campaign of United Colors of Benetton.. did they cease up doing business because I dont see them anymore...

I guess they offended someone?

Oh I remember now they were accused of child exploitation???

Very sad...I do hope not.

The only comparison made was to their current level of fame. See John Lennon's "We're more popular than Jesus now." It was not a case of one being any better or worse than the other.
It would be pretty ignorant to deny the fact that Mr. Floyd is very (in)famous (worldwide no less) at this point. ;)

I was merely pointing out that using abbrevs, initialisms, and acronyms in a post on The Intertubes is very common and not disrespectful. Yes, really.

Well, at least something positive came of Floyd’s death. Apparently, he found the cure for Covid-19.

Kinda weird I never heard of this incident until today. I guess since it’s a “white on white” crime, the media doesn’t care... sad, really...

Reading through all of this, can't quote it all.

Life

Every life is precious, I'm a God loving man, I don't think He would put a life on this earth without reason. I'm only 29, but I've realized everything happens for a reason, good or bad, whether we know that reason is on us. We either have to come to a understanding and if we don't then it's a friendly reminder that we are only human. As humans we are flawed, we never will be perfect yet we constantly strive for perfection. Noah's ark, Adam and Eve, The Tower of Bable, Worshipping the golden calf heck the list goes on how humans can turn on a dime when it comes to good/bad, right/wrong etc. He did not deserve to die like that, nor does he deserve to be glorified and have a day named after him etc. You want a day named after you? Earn it. His death is sad and I hope he's in a better place and I hope God gives his family the strength needed to get through this life.

Perspective

Look at what's happening in parts of Africa how the "white man" is getting there farmland stripped of them due to their skin color. Where's the white lives matter march? In China, Chinese Muslims (Urumqi region) are beign slaughtered and "re educated" by the thousands. Where's the Muslim Chinese lives matter march? Funny thing (due to hypocrisy) is that some Muslims are always foaming at the mouth about Palestine this and Palestine that... Apparently only ARAB MUSLIM lives matter. . . But when it comes to Chinese Muslims, no one gives a rats ***, no one Muslim nation is standing up to China about. Why? Because China is the cash man, and who doesn't love cash?

Look at Pakistan. Always talking about how India treats its 200 million Muslim MINORITY like crap. Yeah, sure. That's why India had a Muslim President. Never seen a non Muslim president/high ranking official in Pakistan that wasn't a Muslim. . . Where is Pakistan's Prime Minister ridiculing China's approach to their Muslim minority? He won't talk down to them because China is funding Pakistani projects and giving them massive loans, which by the way, will crush them.

The basis here is, all lives matter, we should not pick and choose, we should stand against injustice no matter who it is against. When we pick and choose, it makes the movement, in my eyes, weak because it's focusing on a certain group.

Photo in thread with Chinese flag and asking for their help

It baffles me how idiotic some people are, it really does. My aunt is Vietnamese and tells me the horrors of communism. How it took her fathers hotel businesses, stripped them of everything, and forced them to flee. They had to go on a boat and travel to Thailand. Her sister was on another boat during a storm while fleeing, it sunk. . . took may lives with it. Communism does not work. I do not hate Chinese people, well not all, I get along with some but not all, but that goes for anyone. The Chinese government I don't trust and want gone, they're scum bags the whole lot of them.

People who stand for the Chinese government make me laugh. Go to China, speak against them, you and your family will dissapear faster than the memory of Liberals regarding Justin Trudeau and his black face and SNC Lavalin scandal.

Communism = bad. Show me a communist country, that follows the ideology to the "T" and is successful like the U.S, Canada, U.K and Australia. No ideology is perfect, but Democracy beats Communism any day.

Also... The WHO is trash, the U.N is trash as well. Here's a good clip, enjoy.

Again I say police brutality is not be condoned and it must be given the highest punishment of the law in my opinion.

But going in line to your statement Im just wondering if media would pick on this and if it also garner world wide protest?

What if the police officer was also Black, of course the argument would say Oh a black man would not do that to another back man.

I understand..but for the purpose of argument. You saw 2 human beings of the same color. Im sure there are black policemen as equally abusive as white policemen. Again I say not all policemen are abusive!

Would this be a case of a hate crime or its just a police brutality case...how is media would run it on the news so it will also garner much attention and create anger and riots around the world? Would it be easy to garner much attention as the one we currently have?


Or let say the policeman was a chinese or Japanese (American) or Mexican would it garner hate riots towards the Chinese, Mexican and the Japanese Americans?

Or another situation...the policeman was Black and the one on the ground gasping for air is a white man.

Would white men go out in riots and protesting “White lives Matter”?
Maybe yes...they have the right to do that as citizens of America.

In closing: All human beings around the world are suffering and experiencing police brutality...injustice...prejudices.... bullying....torture.... poverty....Covid19
This is the reality!

Would be ok to say “All human Life Matters”???

There was a slogan in the rioters “ If your neutral about the situation you just took side of the oppressors” I ask who are the oppressors???....the whites....the yellow...the brown....the blacks???

One was chanting end the racism!!!!

If you want racism to end it should start from you...stop looking at my color and stop calling me as my color...stop calling me by my religious beliefs...stop calling me because of my culture....stop treating me indifferently because of my skin color!!!

I am a human being with a God given name.!

Maybe Racism would be taken out of Webster dictionary as part of everyone language!

But of course I live in America!

This is what you get with identity politics. As far as racism goes, I was a white minority in my NJ High School. Racism goes both ways. I’ve lived it, yet never thought about destroying someone else’s property.

There’s a guy who likes to tell racist jokes to the staff and some members of my golf club. He actually thinks that he’s not a racist because he tips well and “is only joking around”. He has no idea how much they despise him.

So, bottom line is racists exist, and I’m afraid always will. It’s taught. Nobody comes out of the womb hating someone because of their skin color.

Personally, I don’t judge people by their color, religion, ethnicity, sexual gender, or sexual preference. I judge people on whether they’re azzholes or not.

I don't disagree with anything you have said about racism, but conversation for Blacks is much greater than racism in the way you describe. It is magnified by being oppressed, marginalized and treated as inhuman. Do you ever see pictures of non-Blacks depicted as animals. Blacks are often depicted as monkeys and Apes. I understand your point and do not condone racism Black on White or White on Black, that said a White person can change their geography and said racism goes away it is not so for Black person. Furthermore White people have access to jobs, wealth and opportunity for success at a much hire rate than Blacks. Yes, many of us are more successful today than ever and access to many things have widen be we are still no where near being equal. Just take a look at Motorsports to keep it real. How many Black drivers do you know that are racing at the highest level? There isn't a shortage of outstanding Black drivers just access to sponsors. Of the Black drivers that are running at the the highest levels not one of them is of dark skin. Oh yes if even within the Black race here in America and many other countries Blacks with lighter skin are shown more favor and is a cause of inter-racial prejudice as well. But I digress, the conversation cannot be just about prejudice without understanding, grasping and owning our history and how all of it born out what we are experiencing today. We can't just say get over it that happened 300 years ago or that the 1968 Civil Rights Movement are enough. We need to continue to reconcile our past and present and continue to struggle forward.

My own mother told me Im an azzhole but she loved me anyways! :tup:
Honestly majority of my friends are African American...I blend well with them because my color is medium rare!

I like being with them because they are funny just hearing them talk makes me laugh! They treat me well and do the same.., one even calls me his brother he never had...so dont think at any point Im racist.... as Im proud of my skin and I know where I came from ...I proud of my heritage!

True story ...my first day at work in America coming from a foreign country!

I White red neck asked me over our daily meeting “ Hey how does a poodle (dog ) taste like?

I said well taste like a mixed of chicken and pork! Every body laugh!!!

Now we are best buddies he respect me and I respect him.. For the first time they said he never invited anyone to his house but He invited my family to dine with his family during Thanksgiving!

You see we can get along together. I didn’t take offense on what he said about my culture. Why will I get offended of something is true about me?!!


The only thing I hate being with my African American friends I’ll always in a disadvantage in any type with regards to Sizes!!! Lol

But Im cool...I know how to use it...that matters most!!!
Lol:tup:

Bob,

Im sure Rusty would say Zoren your also at Disadvantage in any sizes with Whites which way you want it!!!

Oh yeah I’ll say you know what ...I know Kung Fu and I can break your Trigger!:tup:

It's not the size of the ship, but the motion of the ocean. :tup:

It’s not pen or pencil, but how you sign your name. :happydance:

Are you guys going to start speaking up? Do you have the courage?

There is great movie on Netflix about one of the greatest race drivers that was never to be. It is called Willie T Riggs, Uppity!
