This cancel culture nonsense started before Trump even got elected.

I wonder if a white activist group called for boycotting all black business would it be racist. 

 

I wonder if they are going to boycott white politicians also.

OK, there are LITERALLY daily examples of xenophobic and racist comments coming right from our Congress let alone in society.

 

I could understand all this if we were on AR-15 but to see this kind of though on VJ is mind blowing.   Then again around the world Countries like Brazil, Russia and many others have extremism and dictators so maybe it's learned thought.

 

The amount of hate spewed towards blacks, browns, is probably 100:1 when it's done in reverse.   

 

Term limits in Congress and Supreme Court is a must.

Which White activist group did you have in mind?  What would they hope to gain by boycotting businesses that are black owned?   In the perspective of Black Xmas,  why should they fund businesses that they feel support institutional racism ? < I know many think this is not a thing which is the crux of their argument.

 

When you look across the backrooms and the boardrooms, the power is still predominantly white and male. That part is a fact. I know many businesses and institutions are working hard to close gaps in giving voice and opportunity to people of color, do you think they would take those steps without economic risk? 

 

You are free to avoid or boycott businesses that support BLM.

 

I am not sure who is more "out there" with the times: the Republican leadership and conservative media,  or young people of color trying to not give up their power.  I am betting long on the young people, however hamhanded and ineffective  this boycott  effort is.

How about that. I bet 99% here could agree on your last point.

Separate by equal seems to be the current mantra.

amazing how it has circled. I can remember when it was the law of the land and it took a lot of civil action and some major political upheaval to overturn it

[Boiler 45,516]

Ooops but equal, sorry fat fingers.

 

It is interesting to watch, I never thought it would be acceptable to advertise shopping preferences on racial lines, well wrong there., Not something I had ever come across, not something that would have been OK when I first moved here, well I do not think so.

 

Wonder what is next.

It’s coming.   Look at the history of the US.   The ONLY thing left is bloodshed.    It’s not if but when.

The United States is the last remaining democracy that doesn’t have a parliamentary style Govt.

 

If anyone thinks it’s healthy for a Country to have someone like Mitch McConnell type person “leading” Govt who openly states his goal is to obstruct and defeat the President guess what, he’s proof positive the US has already failed.

 

I’ll be retiring overseas.   I’m a submarine veteran and embarrassed at how our country Acts.

 

tRump lit the country on fire and continues to dog whistle.    
 

So when it happens and a politician or Judge gets whacked it won’t be a surprise.

 

You think people go crazy as it is, watch what happens if the SC overturns Roe v wade.

Exactly.   Would not happen in a parliamentary Govt but Moscow Mitch truly started the scorched earth.   But there’s a big difference between trying to get citizen healthcare and infrastructure vs a fat payday for billionaires 

 

I think with the gerrymandering and other games the gop is doing to try and steal the election I think the DEMS don’t play hardball enough.  Should kill the filibuster and expand the SC with a punch in Moscow Mitch face.

 

Admittedly I hope tRump runs in 2024 as I do not think he can win (without some State legislators trying to overrule their state voters and use rogue process) America is tired of him

 

I also want the US to fail.    Then maybe change will happen.
