Are you implying that anyone rambling away in PaRD is doing what Arnold or Rosa managed to do?


No, are you really this obtuse?

Its a valid argument

Your Demoshit talking points only make sense if you make obtuse metaphors involving ROSA PARKS.

Freedom w/o laws is anarchy. No one, anywhere is really free. We all just do the best we can with the laws we have.
We can spend our lives railing against them or try to go with the flow.

I'm constantly amazed that minorities (for lack of a better term), can't get past the fact that they aren't really minorities. They are Americans.

There is no such thing as African Americans, Indian Americans etc... There is just Americans.
No one can change the laws in the US unless they first embrace those laws and work the change they want, within those laws. The days of revolutions in the US are long gone.

You can spend your life trying to fight city hall, or you can join city hall and work for the changes you want to see that way. You won't see them in your lifetime, this country is too big for that.
The best you can do is work for your children or grandchildren.


Like spotted elk? a man of "peace" and compromise for his people and children
adapting to a lack of freedom choosing to please the white government for survival
, disarmed and slaughtered in the snow with unarmed women and children

1890 may seem forever ago to you
chains may seem forever ago to you
rights may seem forever ago to you

but to those communities still affected by injustice and abuse, still raising babies in the conditions they inherited, still facing crooked ass authority employed by a broken ass system it all seems like yesterday

I like that reply. Some real blood in you there beo, but your words don't belong here. We are in an intelligent civilization that doesn't need rallying words of blood to bring us to a cause. We all have our own morals, driven by our intellect and civilization rather than base instincts and emotions.

There no such perfect thing, where people oppressed in the past will gain future rewards. They don't deserve them, as much as the people in the past didn't deserve their oppression.

There is no systematic gain in being oppressed; society, people and times are moving on their own. Soon, if ever, the world will be what those emotional people want it to be.

In my opinion, however, it will be never. Because emotions about past events don't belong in the future.

No that's what you're doing apparently. I'm saying become a part of the govt. so you have the power to make changes. The white man's govt.
And 1890 was when my grandparents were middle aged adults.

Every now and then a Rosa Parks appears and gets listened to. That is sheer luck, or good timing. the rest, get ground under the wheels of ...city hall, aka the govt. that we NEED to keep the US from becoming like the middle east.


/e Here this guy isn't fighting city hall, he's using it to get what he wants...

Oh, so you're saying Rosa Parks went on, let's say Let's make a Deal and started a bunch of BS?

Kaepernick abused the NFL and the viewers to get his say. Rosa Parks, just said it, all by herself.

/e I should add that when she did her thing (1955), there WAS a lot of inequality. When Kaepernick did his thing he just looked like an idiot. A guy making how many million a year is complaining. :/
