Dont think BLM is liberal. They are more leftist. Liberalism is a moderate ideology focused on reform not revolution.

So you view liberalism as moderate, essentially?

Quote (Skinned @ Oct 5 2017 01:04pm)

Of course it is. It respect rights and property.

Communism and liberalism are rivals....that is why Liberal presidents defeated the fascists and the persecuted the Cold War. Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson....our greatest liberal presidents were all warlords as well. The only warrior-president we had that was not Liberal was Washington...he did overthrow a king and usurp existing social order though which is par for the course.

Watching leftists tear each other apart is good times.

Quote (Kenyon Martin)

"Do I need to remind this damn boy that his last name Lin?" Martin said in the video. "Like, come on man. Let's stop this, man, with these people, man. There is no way possible that he would have made it on one of our teams with that bulls--- goin' on on his head. Come on man, somebody need to tell him, like, 'All right bro, we get it. You wanna be black.' Like, we get it. But the last name is Lin."

Quote (Jeremy Lin)

"Hey man, it's all good. You definitely don't have to like my hair and [are] definitely entitled to your opinion," Lin wrote. "Actually I [am] legit grateful [for] you sharin it [to be honest]. At the end of the day, I appreciate that I have dreads and you have Chinese tattoos [because] I think its a sign of respect. And I think as minorities, the more that we appreciate each other's cultures, the more we influence mainstream society. Thanks for everything you did for the Nets and hoops ... had your poster up on my wall growin up."

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20925633/jeremy-lin-brooklyn-nets-all-good-kenyon-martin-remarks-hair-race

so former NBA player and current racist Kenyon Martin asserted that Jeremy Lin shouldn't wear his hair in dreads because "his last name is Lin" and that "he wants to be black"



Lin responded in kind:



the kicker? Martin thought his tattoos meant one thing back in 2004, but Chinese player Yao Ming told him the translation Martin was using was wrong :rofl:
