jackiemarie90 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Like, it makes me think dam that shit must be instinctual for them since a lot of people felt the need to be racist just as the country was thinking about open up. Like seriously, the lynchings, the police, the dumb ass karens, America so racist it can't even be forced to contain for a dam pandemic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seight Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 We're at a point where I honestly cannot tell if we're stupider than previous generations or if social media has allowed the stupidest people, who in the past would have been ridiculed or ignored, some level of legitimacy in what they tell others.

Chapinator_X Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Being given the freedom to storm government buildings with firearms to protest for their right to get riddled with COVID at an Applebee’s gave racists the power trip they need to attack black people for existing in the same vicinity as them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupin_bebop Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 What is it? It's the power that they can do what they do, and not have to suffer the consequences. It's the fact that they have a President that has EMPOWERED them to do it. It's the fact that they have been shown they can do whatever they want, and literally get away with it.

katt_goddess Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Being forced to live in your own hoarded filth for an extended period of time is unacceptable to some. When hillbilly trailer trash can't drag their asses across others in a public setting whenever they want, they react as they've been taught by watching the Annoying Orange - have a tantrum and blame 'the Others' . Want to rebuild that broken masculinity caused by being a responsible adult and staying home during a health crisis? Go out and beat up someone perceived as lesser than you - 'the Other' is the one that caused this after all. Semi-serious answer to add to other more serious answers in the thread. Mental health issues spike for some when faced with isolation. Trapped with their own thoughts, the thoughts take over. And when you have someone who is a walking hate-boner over everything and ingests that sort of shit as news / entertainment 24 / 7, those thoughts are not something that should have space to gestate. Not excusing bad behavior because of mental issue [ because let's face it, we've all seen too many times where that's been used as the excuse for some chalkie-fart running around shooting people as a way to get out of prison time ] but it is there. Mental health isn't something that anyone seems to give an actual crap about unless it's either them or can be used as an acceptable excuse for something horrible. If things had been taken seriously from the start, more could have been done to help people prepare for the potential of an extend home-stay event. Instead you had the racist-in-queef denying anything was wrong, calling it a Democratic hoax, had an entire so-called news channel devoted to promoting that level of retardation to it's rascal-scooter-loving / low IQ audience, and then when all hell broke loose most people in affected areas had to lockdown with no back-up plans because they had never had any such ideas even floated for them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social media has certainly been a huge tool in our modern day democracy. For one thing so many people wouldn't be as upset if we didn't have evidence of the wide scale racism happening in the country. l'm also seeing people on social media call out cops undercover and other false flag attempts to demonize the cause. We just have to make sure technology is openly available to the people and used for state wide purposes like facial recognition technology. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't saying it was more bad in particular, more that, it's really odd that people would stare straight in cell cameras and CONTINUE to be racist. Like why would you insist on your 'superior' beliefs immediately after a lock down, especially on camera? Wouldn't you want to walk the moment someone pulls out a cell? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see this, they really are scared tho aren't they? Like I'm thinking that a lot of racist actions and backlash over the past recent years is a fear of being replaced. Or moreover, that they are afraid people of color will get the exact SAME equal opportunities in life, and that they will no longer have a competitive chance at their capitalist aspirations. Like when that man asked the women to put a leash on her dog, she really couldn't take that a black person was telling her what to do. She liked that she couldn't utilize her power over someone else, and now all the racist people are seeing that this power is being taken away too through social media. I think it's making them more antsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why they hate cancel culture itself, they see the signs social media changing how people can't get away with stuff as easily anymore. I think it's making people to cling to their power even more. As for Trump, I know a lot of southerners feel jilted by the establishment democrats, and thought maybe slightly racist policies would help them maintain that power for a little longer, but I think some must feel like utter shit to see how bad their president is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very interesting angle I had not considered and I do think plays a huge factor into what's going on. Even with white protesters that do have good intentions but are getting caught up in the looting too.
