It’s the same way that women are reclaiming the word cunt. The cunt originally was a word to describe female genitalia and not terrible at all.

I was fascinated to read of Gropecunt as a street name. Apparently the last recorded use in England was in 1561. Magpie Lane in Oxford used to be Gropecunt Lane. I never knew that, so one lives and learns.

Holy Hell Yahhhhzzz!

Facebook removes Trump ads for violating 'organized hate' policy

The identical ads featured an upside-down red triangle, a symbol used by the Nazi party in World War II to identify political dissidents in concentration camps.

Facebook removed 88 ads Thursday posted by the accounts of President Donald Trump, the Trump campaign and Vice President Mike Pence that the social media giant said were “violating our policy against organized hate.”

All of the identical ads featured an upside-down red triangle, a symbol used by the Nazi party in World War II to identify political dissidents in concentration camps. The ads caught the attention of some Twitter users Thursday who pointed out the symbol's historical significance.

A Facebook spokesperson wrote in an emailed statement that the posts violated the company's policies.

"Our policy prohibits using a banned hate group's symbol to identify political prisoners without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol," the spokesperson wrote.

That’s playing right into someone’s hands, but what does this honkey know? Nothing, except black people created the Heavens and Earth, and have not been credited for it.


Actually , this *honkey* does know something...

The word "n....er* , came from two ancient symbols ,
pronounced "Nniow" , and "G'yer" , which became
the word Niger...

Nniow meant , among many layers of meaning ,
"Childlike ( not childish ) Joy And Wonder" , and
as well , dealt with the idea of plant growth , and ,
interestingly enough , the "G'yer" dealt with :

"Marriage Of Heaven And Earth , Fertile Season ,
Harvest Of Labors , Reward For Hard Work"

among other meanings...

I have told black students this , and a few confirmed
their grandparents had told them there was an ancient
word either the same , or very similar to what I know...

So , in it's origin , before both the word was changed ,
and meaning lost , it was a *holy word*...

Language is very interesting...

No you can refuse. Who will stop you? How many black Americans are secretly also Jewish because that part gets flack...

And our children are not put down on their documents as Jewish, but we could change that. I won’t.

Correct. It's called 'deflecting' from the topic. One deflects because they can no longer dispute it intelligently. Or, in layman's terms, they shit all over the issue to cover it up.

Let’s settle for acknowledging its role for now..

The bigger message is that narcissism is part of all people’s normal persona. We are finding it has an important role in political values and decision making. The role is not simplistic such as to only categorize liberals or conservatives or Democrats and Republicans, rather, it operates uniformly in most domains but more specifically in others.”

Why Most Americans Support the Protests

Never before in the history of modern polling has the country expressed such widespread agreement on racism’s pervasiveness in policing, and in society at large.

Beyond the scenes of protest and resistance playing out in cities across the country, a movement of a different sort has taken hold.

The American public’s views on the pervasiveness of racism have taken a hard leftward turn over the past few years. Never before in the history of modern polling have Americans expressed such widespread agreement that racial discrimination plays a role in policing — and in society at large.

Driven by the Black Lives Matter movement, this shift has primed the country for a new groundswell — one that has quickly earned the sympathy of most Americans, polling shows. As a result, in less than two weeks, it has already forced local governments and national politicians to make tangible policy commitments.

In a Monmouth University poll released this week, 76 percent of Americans — including 71 percent of white people — called racism and discrimination “a big problem” in the United States. That’s a 26-percentage-point spike since 2015. In the poll, 57 percent of Americans said demonstrators’ anger was fully justified, and another 21 percent called it somewhat justified.

[ . . . ]

Implicit and explicit bias

In 2009, the year President Barack Obama took office, just 36 percent of white Americans said the country needed to do more to ensure that black people gained equal rights, according to a Pew Research Center poll. By 2017, four years after the start of the Black Lives Matter movement, that number had leapt to 54 percent of white people and roughly three in five Americans over all.

Sixty-one percent of the country in that poll said it supported Black Lives Matter.

While polls can tell us only what people say they believe — and could therefore be affected by a respondent’s desire to sound politically correct — a 2018 study by two social psychologists determined that even people’s implicit attitudes had shifted during the Black Lives Matter movement.

Times; they are a changing, my friend. Despite the naysayers and those who want to shit all over the movement.

Your points are pointless.

You just want to ignore everything and focus on a fraction of people behaving negatively to support your overall dislike of Black Lives Matters, which is a movement of millions of people of different skin colors coming together and achieving reforms through peaceful protest.

Your deflections are tiresome.

EdibleWords said:

In what sense? Don’t get me wrong, I see something in the idea of fighting oppression. This is the opposite of progress happing on the streets.

Will you deal with systemic narcissism in the liberal camp?



The mayhem is the result of a tiny fraction of what is a peaceful movement that was also exploited by outside groups up to no good. They do NOT represent what the other millions of people are accomplishing.

Read what you ignored.
