Trump Tells NRA..." London like a war zone..."

Post by ElectroClaret » Sat May 05, 2018 3:30 am

BBC
Trump, addressing the NRA meeting in Dallas said "Londons hospitals are awash with blood from knife crime".
"Knives, knives, knives".
Yeah, let's just ignore the 32,000 gunshot deaths each year in America, ya donut. :cry:

Americans in general are seriously deluded as to the state their country is in socially. They laugh at our health care despite it out ranking theirs in pretty much every category. They laugh at our "police state" despite theirs being as corrupt as a third world country. They laugh at our problems with violent crime, yet they have cities ranked amongst the most dangerous places in the world.

They are brainwashed idiots.

In the USA the NRA is a far bigger danger to American citizens than any other terror organisation.

They have done nothing to stop mass shootings, nor do they want to.

What would have been quite amusing is if a guy dressed in black had managed to get into the NRA conference shouting "God is Great", highly armed with fully automatic weapons!

He doesn't like to talk about it when it's white people committing these crimes. If the shooter was a Muslim he'd still be talking about it.

It's a pattern with him. He'll ignore or delay his responce to terrorist attacks commited by white people, but be in an orgasmic rush to tweet out condemnation when a brown or muslim person commits an attack.

But don't be calling him racist or anything. The purse clutchers will be terribly upset if you do.

Because it was black people who were silently and peacefully protesting against police brutality during national anthems. And you criticised them for it.

The US are simply too far down the line with the gun accessibility law, it would take them a century to eradicate all guns. I love how it's used as a stick to beat Trump with though, it has absolutely nothing to do with him, I believe it's been that way in America for over 40 years.

No one's trying to eradicate their guns. Sane, reasonable people want to make it harder for insane or otherwise mentally unstable people from having immediate, unchecked access to them. But the NRA and the extremists who support them say that that's unreasonable.

If they can't legally get one, they'll purchase one illegally. There is gun crime in this country. I don't think it's as easy to tell if someone is mentally unstable as you're making out. The guy who suffered from depression 10 years ago would be considered mentally unstable but the next guy who has been paid to kill wouldn't be considered mentally unstable nor would he shoot his own gun that he legally obtained.

That’s because he is cherry picking information and using certain events to push a certain political opinion..

A little bit like yourself really.

You could use events such as when the blacks started rioting in towns like Ferguson but you don’t as it doesn’t suit your agenda.

One specific point about how certain privileged black individuals within the NFL claim to be systematically oppressed when in reality they are Lauded as hero's in a society that loves them. I took issue with it. So what.

It still doesn't change the fact I had a problem with it on many different levels across the board. Including black lives matters involvement, the rioting, and the dozens of white liberal protest groups stoking the tensions that were going on at the time. It was an anti nationalism and anti-trump movement underneath all the rhetoric and everyone knew it.

No. I don't use that because it's a completely seperate crime and has nothing to do with, well, anything really.

And when you say things like "when the blacks started rioting in towns like Ferguson" you do two unfortunate things. 1) you expose your own racism by calling them "the blacks", and 2) you're cherry-picking even worse than what you're accusing me of. You're pointing to dozens of arseholes who rioted and ignoreing the thousands of protestors who just wanted to demonstrate peacefully against police brutality, while collectively referring to them all as "the blacks".

A society that generally loves them, lol. Except when they decide to peacefully protest against the police who regularly kill them with something bordering on impunity. :lol:

So society loves them, right up until they decide to express their right to freedom of expression. Then they're just ungrateful. Right? Don't worry. Black people are used to being treated as if they should be grateful to white people. You're not expressing any opinion that is new to them. They've been being told they should be grateful to us for centuries.

So predictable IT, nice try to twist and clearly missing the point.

Now your next part is a poor attempt at a slur, point 1) is clearly a plural of a term which you have yourself used in post 10 and 16, I’m assuming your calling yourself racist? No of course not because using the term black or the plural blacks isn’t racist. Point 2) was specifically used to highlight your contradiction in calling someone a cherry picker.

I hope you don't mind me responding to this. It's dehumanising to reduce a person or group of people to a sole defining characteristic. Turning a subject into an object is a problem because it's far easier to implement and/or maintain a system that oppresses, dispossessed and disenfranchises an object than it is a system that oppresses, dispossesses and disenfranchises a Human being. The posts you referred to follow up the word "black" with "people", which is perfectly fine. It might seem trivial but it's an important distinction and it's important to not let this way of thinking slip in unconsciously. Doesn't at all mean to say you're a sieg heiling fascist, or anything, but it's worth considering that if you allow yourself to think of people as an object, you're allowing yourself to be used by real racists by consenting to the way in which people are and have historically been routinely dehumanised for ideological gains. (See, anti-Jewish propaganda).

Its amazing how anyone can turn a descriptive term in to the above. A load of overthought and over sensitive nonsense. I have never discriminated against anyone for any reason, and never will, but what happened in the past, although should never be forgotten, is history and cannot be changed. We should just ensure it never happens again.

But further up the thread, you said....
Because it was black people who were silently and peacefully protesting against police brutality during national anthems. And you criticised them for it.
You called black people, black then cried racism when another poster did the same thing. Interesting, you racist.

I'm sorry but 'your point is overthought' isn't a convincing argument. I've argued why it's important to choose words carefully; I'm not actually judging anyone on this thread. Sometimes even well-intended people can be clumsy with language. I'm no saint, I've done it myself.

"the blacks" was the term he used. It's like saying "the gays", as if they're seperate and apart. It's a term racists like to use to disassociate them from "people".

Wrong again, your are despirately trying to twist any angle to throw some mud in the hope that it sticks. If you are trying to call me a racist then you are also associating yourself as one aswell.

A17 year old boy was shot dead in London Saturday evening. "The killing is one of more than 60 fatal shootings and stabbings on the streets of the capital this year." (Evening Standard).

The man is not playing with a full deck of cards.

His obscene comments about the dead of the Bataclan and miming gun shots are beyond the pale. He's insane.

You're the kind of person who will go around calling jewish people "the Jews" and cry when someone calls you anti-semitic, aren't you?
