Huh? Are you trying to say that people who refuse to support a violent hate group are racist?

That’s the Reverse World of liberals. If we don’t support a group that riots and burns things down - with one of their leaders threatening to burn down the entire country if whites don’t give into their demands - and WE are the racist ones. Do you people even hear yourself?

For almost four years, liberals have been going around screaming and spitting “racist” to anyone who doesn’t support their radical left agenda to tear down the country. It’s reached a completely deranged level.

Don’t waste your time bringing up the truth. No one is listening. It’s strange that poor kids from various regions of the world of all nationalities, who barely speak English can come here and in one generation be successful. It’s sad, but black culture appears to be broken. Virtue signaling white people are not the answer to the solve the problem. I’m not sure what is to be honest. I’m not sure it can be fixed. There are generations of blacks who are living off the democrat plantation who literally have no clue how life can be different. Living in poor neighborhoods off the government is literally a way of life for them one generation after another. It’s a sad existence, and I have empathy for them, but society can’t keep going this way. It’s not even fair to them.

^^^Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.

Black Lives Matter is not a terrorist organization. It is pulling back the curtain on injustice and despicable deeds. Black Lives Matter deals not only with racism but also with sexism.

Black Lives Matter is not just about police violence but about the wide range of ways in which state-sanctioned violence against black people impacts lives. State-sanctioned violence looks like Sandra Bland being found hanging in her jail cell, in 2015, after being pulled over for a traffic violation. It looks like Breonna Taylor, a 26 year old EMT being slaughtered in an apartment and police letting her die on the floor with no aid during a no knock raid. It looks like black women making 63 cents to every dollar that white men make and the 79 cents that white women make. It is the fact that though black and white people in this country sell and use drugs at around the same rates, black people are more than twice as likely to be arrested for drug offenses.

The goal is to build the kind of society where black people can live with dignity and respect. The goal is not trying to build a world where black people are empowered and white people aren’t, or where there is black supremacy. That wouldn’t make things better. You can’t replace one group with another. Instead the goal is to transform the way that power currently operates.

The type of propaganda that posters spit out in an effort to prohibit fairness and justice and racial equality is racism. Simple as that. The reality is that the far-right in this country have been doing this type of distortion for more than 30 years now, as a backlash to the gains of the civil-rights movement and women’s-rights movement.

The police have had encounters with black people at least 100 million times over the last few years, and yet liberals still keep bringing up the same dozen of blacks with bad endings. That proves how exceedingly rare it is.

And why not name the whites, multiple times as many, who also came to bad endings? Why are the relatively few black people who came to a bad end so much more important than whites?

I’m all for racial equality in laws. Let’s start with affirmative action, which gives an average middle-class black student with poorer grades the advantage over a poor white student with substantially better grades.

Maybe you won't watch it all. After all, TED Talks are designed for intelligent people.
I watched the whole thing and thought it was quite good but decided to see what this Ted X is all about. After watching a few of the presentations - I actually agree with this reviewer:

https://www.newstatesman.com/martin-...uble-ted-talks

"TED Talks are designed to make people feel good about themselves; to flatter them and make them feel clever and knowledgeable; to give them the impression that they’re part of an elite group making the world a better place. People join for much the same reason they join societies like Mensa: it gives them a chance to label themselves part of an intellectual elite. That intelligence is optional, and you need to be rich and well-connected to get into the conferences and the exclusive fringe parties and events that accompany them, simply adds to the irresistible allure. TED’s slogan shouldn’t be ‘Ideas worth spreading’, it should be: ‘Ego worth paying for’."

Explains why so many white's are lining up on the BLM and protest bandwagon. It's not that they even know what they are protesting for as that changes weekly - but it makes them part of a "special" group wherein they feel better than everyone else not participating. Reminds me of Jim Jones, David Koresh or these TV evangelists.

We are now fighting Marxists. Not "Democrats" or "Progressives". They have been emboldened enough where thy are now out in the open, and calling anyone "Racist" who disagrees with them is a classic Marxist tactic. Saul Alinsky 101.

Are they a race-centric Marxist group or not? Read a little history and recall the deaths and destruction always follow any Marxist revolution.
