Where do you find this stuff?

by rmrd0000 on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 3:43pm

I follow people like you who never have a single positive thing to say about this country and believe it is a systemically racist country and they retweet stuff like this.

by artappraiser on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 3:51pm

p.s. didya see the Charlottesville verdict as well?

by artappraiser on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 3:52pm

We have also seen exonerations of men who spent decades in prison.

by rmrd0000 on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 4:07pm

yes. and I think that's another good thing.

by artappraiser on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 4:18pm

Concrete thinking on your part

But have a great Thanksgiving anyway

"They" are the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA (also known as RCP and The Revcoms) .... a communist party in the United States founded in 1975 and led by its chairman Bob Avakian. The party organizes for a revolution in the United States, to overthrow the system of capitalism and replace it with a new socialist republic, with the final aim of world communism. wiki

"They" have been promoting revolution since 1975.

AA apparently mainlines incendiary right wing twitter repost threads, never spends 2 minutes researching the person or source, gets hopping mad and reposts the trash here, venting outrage and implying source is BLM, Woke etc etc

by NCD on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 7:05pm

Wow

I am always fascinated that AA links to random voices on social media

The revolution will televised.

The verdict does not matter

by rmrd0000 on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 7:46pm

The best "random" voices confirm preexisting bias, no need to check the source.

by NCD on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 8:19pm

She considers random people as valid sources, but has to search Wiki to document a well known scholar like Adolph Reed.

by rmrd0000 on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 9:35pm

How absurd! You're not a random anonymous poster on the internet, for chrissakes?

As to your Adolph Reed point, just because I have decided to ignore your lowest common denominator comments on my blog entry doesn't mean what you think it means. I'm trying to be tolerant, but keep pushing and maybe I'll change my mind and respond more like PP often does....

what was that complaint again? oh yeah here it is:

Ahmaud Arbery killing trial: Judge declines to change racial makeup of jury, leaving just one Black juror - CBS News 11 white and one black juror in the murder trial of three white men accused of killing one black man. This country is fucked up https://t.co/QHZ1J2cxYf
— Henry Lowell (@HenryLowell5) November 22, 2021

this person is probably correct:

The Arbery verdict was a just verdict that shows the system does work, no matter the racial makeup of the jury. The moment is being ruined by Al Sharpton taking center stage with it.
— DelrayAve (@DelrayAvener) November 24, 2021

by artappraiser on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 3:05pm

The men are guilty

How is Al Sharpton ruining that fact?

by rmrd0000 on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 3:14pm

pumping racial divisiveness when the moment could be used for positive messaging about the justice system working despite race

by artappraiser on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 3:47pm

The initial DA has been indicted for covering up the case.

The current team is the third set of DAs assigned the case.

Al Sharpton did not create that bias.

by rmrd0000 on Wed, 11/24/2021 - 4:05pm

I’m relieved to see justice has been rendered in the Ahmaud Arbery murder. NO ONE should fear this type of vigilante violence in America!

Please join me in continuing to pray for Arbery’s family, and all parents who have lost children to senseless violence.

In Georgia, Felony Murder has the same minimum penalty as Malice Murder: LIFE in prison.

A defendant must serve at least 30 years before being eligible for parole, if parole is even a part of the sentence.

The courts can only uphold but a minimum standard, if that, of what it truly means to honor the sacred worth of all Black lives. Ahmaud should be alive. We continue to mourn with his family and rejoice with them for this semblance of justice.#AhmaudArbery #BlackLivesMatter
