Dismissive? Trying to team up with you here

Posted by: TJNFL1 on Aug 16, 00:35 in response to Antibody's post Unfortunately, White Supremacists believe they are...

I would never walk up to a black lives matter supporter and say, "only black lives matter"? Of course we already know that all lives matter. It's more of being aware that some people need additional opportunities to showcase their gifts and talents.

When I'm working with kids, I can spot a natural leader a mile away, but it takes effort to find the shy introvert and say, hey, why don't you lead this time? With the right support, most kids start to believe in themselves more. As they contribute, their personality and potential are showcased. The group grows and is made stronger, able to do more things in greater detail with less effort, while having more fun.

Can we stop pointing fingers and calling names and just look past the outside, and say, "hey, what can we do together to make things better"? Protests and counter protests are just two sides screaming at each other and going home to stare at a mirror and say, "I'm a day older, but none wiser".

If segregation is wrong, and integration is too hard, why not partnerships?  Find something that needs to be done and complete it with assistance from someone different than yourself.

Sometimes we just need to take that first step to learn how to walk.

POTUS doubles down on "many sides" and is certain there were "some very fine people" marching for the Confederate statues in C'ville slipping jimmy Aug 15, 14:21

I posted below. Unbelievable. Trump revealed his true color as a Neo-Nazi sympathizer. {nm} Antibody Aug 15, 14:23

like father like son {nm} slipping jimmy Aug 15, 14:29

President said he condemns "in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 15, 21:28

David Duke: "Thank you President Trump for your honesty & courage to tell the truth about #Charlottesville & condemn the leftist terrorists" slipping jimmy Aug 15, 23:18

...on many sides". Only racists equates KKK, Neoi-Nazis and White Supremacists to the counter protesters that believe in equality. {nm} Antibody Aug 15, 23:24

What good does it do to call someone a racist? What is being accomplished? There is no communication, no change, ...{nm} TJNFL1 Aug 15, 23:55

It HAS to be said, so it can't be ignored and brushed off. It's an issue that needs to be addressed, not avoided. {nm} dubord.s Aug 16, 07:54

Ignored, brushed off, and avoided? Its been discused since the 1960's. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 16, 10:38

Exactly - because people called him out on it, as opposed to remaining quiet and allowing it to go unchecked like you seem to imply. {nm} dubord.s Aug 16, 12:42

Publicly condemned as evil since what, around 1925? {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 17, 02:39

Doesn't mean its gone away. {nm} DTravel Aug 16, 15:57

Agree. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 17, 02:42

Not calling them out normalizes their bigoted views. Racists have already been emboldened by Trump to threaten other Americans. {nm} Antibody Aug 16, 10:33

Sorry, they have already been called out and condemned. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 16, 10:51

Sorry, Trump took it back on Tues.. Is that why Duke, Spencer and the Alt-Right are the only one happy with Trump.? {nm} Antibody Aug 16, 11:17

Happy that he condemned it, Agree to disagree that he took it back. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 17, 02:46

But the Dow is up 0.02%, so it's ok to support racists. {nm} dubord.s Aug 15, 14:26

President said that he condemns "in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence". {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 15, 21:26

..on many sides". Only racists equates KKK, Neoi-Nazis and White Supremacists to the counter protesters that believe in equality {nm} Antibody Aug 15, 23:25

Careful how you use that word "equality", it might mean people you don't like get equal rights and treatment. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 16, 10:56

There are already groups for people who think like that, and they decided to march on Charlottesville with swastika flags. {nm} dubord.s Aug 16, 12:37

John Kelly during the President's Q and A at Trump Tower Antibody Aug 15, 15:00

He took the TU out of POTUS. All that is left is a POS {nm} Buy BONDS 28 Aug 15, 20:00

There is no such thing as the "Alt-Left" an undefined term. Buy BONDS 28 Aug 15, 20:05

The man who said "Alt-Left" lives in a world of alternative facts. {nm} DTravel Aug 15, 20:35

It was defined and rejected by many in the last election. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 15, 21:01

He just assumed that there were also some normal people there that just didn't want to see history rewritten. TJNFL1 Aug 15, 23:21

Unfortunately, White Supremacists believe they are speical and better than others. {nm} Antibody Aug 15, 23:31

Dismissive? Trying to team up with you here TJNFL1 Aug 16, 00:35

You need to first recognize that White Supremacists is not a side. {nm} Antibody Aug 16, 10:39

If it is a group of human beings then it represents a point of view, a perspective, another side of a coin however misguided and wrong. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 16, 11:05

Nazi German is just a side, ISIS is just a side. Just let them kill millions. {nm} Antibody Aug 16, 11:24

Using TJNFL1's "logic", we should just wait until the white supremacists launch a nuke at the rest of the USA? {nm} BSmurf Aug 16, 15:08

There is a difference between peaceful protesting and putting on black pajamas, smashing windows, and burning cars. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 17, 03:18

Groups of people represent points of view, doesn't make it right. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 17, 03:13

In "1984" Winston Smith had a job as a rewriter of history.. We were always friens of Eurasia and never East Asia (or was it the other StarBondFund Aug 16, 04:59

1984? Fixing misquotations and manipulating recorded history again? {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 16, 11:15
