A copy of a comment I had to drop off with no props to from my perspective a naive fellow Arizonian.
….I’ll say this; this country has prospered indeed since its inception, but let me ask you this, who prospered with it. Not the slaves who picked cotton, to ensure their masters crops were in before the winter freeze, thus ensuring the master would be able to buy food for his family, and possibly purchase more slaves to aid in his efforts, or better yet, possibly by more fertile land. Or perhaps it was the Chinese immigrants, note they are called immigrants not slaves, yet were treated almost the same, who laid the rails from the east to the west allowing businesses, and families to prosper from the rich undiscovered lands of the western Americas. No of course they didnât it had to be the Native Americans, surely without out their enthusiastic giving of 95% of their land, yes they were her before anyone else, so based on the old English ways of I claim this land in the name ofâŚ., well too bad it was already claimed. Back to my point, the civil rights movements was 30 years ago, and a attempt to rectify, and claim justice to a period in American history over 200 years ago. Yes the time has passed, however social conditioning by grand fathers, of great grand fathers of long ago, keeps those same principles alive today. Iâm not going to say racisms doesnât exist or that it is running rampant, but the fact remains it is just as relevant now as it was then. The only difference is that now it is hidden in a manner that makes it oblivious to the everyday person. Which is truly sad, a child is not born to hate, they are taught it. As for the anarchist bit, I agree to an extent, but if anarchy is the only means to rectify a government that has shown itâs corruption down from the Commander in Chief to your local school board, with all professions tainted between them, then perhaps another revolution is in need.
…You gets no props, simply because your bitching about people who bitch, therefore bitching about yourself, and no the cause of other bitching is irrelevant, the fact remains your bitching about the bitching, not making a statement about their bitching. If you really think about it can get a little confusing. The other reason being the Civil Rights movements is not something that started with Martin Luther Kings â I Have a Dream Speechâ or the Watts Riots, it has been a movement that has been progressing since the 1700âs, most believe otherwise, simply because most History books, portray it do be as such. And last if you believe that only 15% of the government is corrupt I hope whatever your smoking is as green as your background.
i’m not sure if i understand your reasons for your “no props” from reading the above entry, i had the impression that the person wasn’t bitching about other ppl’s bitching, but rather justifying their bitching? perhaps i’m not seeing the bigger pic? lemme know
here’s a copy of his post…. and you’ll see what I’m referring to…….
Ok here I go with an entry that will most likely offend a great deal of people. I don’t like the anarchy/ down with all governement crowd. Yes I realize with government of any kind comes corruption. But hey guess what people…… no matter how hard you all fight with your stupid spiked hair and “I’m not trendy but I dress like another group of people who dress just like me” clothes government will always from from any group of people so if you want anarchy and chaos go be alone and do what you want in the middle of nowhere with nothing and no one around. And the whole anarchy thing is a load of crap. I mean what is anarchy? It’s a lack of all system and organization. So that means your organized and planned concerts and protests in no way add to the cause you “fight” for. These events are the antithesis of anarchy and you are supporting the “hippocritical governmental systems” you try so hard to destroy.
Here’s another note on that. Yes the govenrment is corrupt. But guess what…… the corruption ends up working for us in the end. Now I know the civil rights stuff was a crime to African Americans but it was 30 years ago and its really not in place any more. There are a few racist agenciesleft but they are children and do not deserve to have any pull in this country in the first place. But back to the log…. this corruption (like taxes) pays for the police you hate sooooooo bad. And you know what if you hate this government and the police that work for it you have no right to complain if they ignore you. You are their enemy and you hate them so they have no reason to serve and protect you. And this country isn’t nearly as corrupt as you try to make it look. From research taken by several neutral parties this country only 15% corrupt government personel. Take a look at other countries. There are places that would kill you right off the bat for even thinking of acting the way you do. So shame on your childish little selfish ass for crying about having rights that no one else gets. You are the kind of person who would get a 100 bucks from mom and dad for no reason and kick and whine till you got 200. So deal with this country or just kill yourself (sorry didn’t mean it was venting anger) or leave and get your bitching over with. This country works well. It has survived, prospered and grown very well for such a horrible place so maybe you should just rethink your little problems. SO what if it doesn’t serve YOU exactly. You want people to deal with your faults you damn well better learn to deal with theirs.
Now I may have compeltly mis read part of this but I don’t think so. and I don’t think he means to come off as racist, but more uneducated in the subject for the most part.
Okay, I was following you until this part:
…You gets no props, simply because your bitching about people who bitch, therefore bitching about yourself, and no the cause of other bitching is irrelevant, the fact remains your bitching about the bitching, not making a statement about their bitching.
I think my head started to spin.
It’s aight, was a random post anyway, not like today’s is of any relevance either đ
