Weapon of the People: "Favoring the Consumer"

Muhammad Rasheed - The counter move for the bad guy is for him to get rid of that competition that's being used as leverage over him. The free open market that classic capitalism requires to function favors the consumer, so the business guy has to close those markets with a monopoly, then the consumer will have no place else to go except to his store (with jacked up prices).

In other words, to get the upper-hand over the consumer, business must wage war on capitalism itself.

Schemes of the Top Russian Agent

Muhammad Rasheed - Stop calling Russian Agent Baby Hands stupid all the time when it's clear he only plays the fool for the camera. His sole aim from the beginning is to exploit the White House seat so that he and his cronies will be trillionaires when he finally leaves office.


When your plans are WORKING, then how does that make you stupid? Do you think he REALLY gives a shit about those empty political talking points? Obama's the only POTUS who ever actually cared about his campaign promises, using them as an agenda checklist for how he governed. Trumpamania was just running his mouth while playing his true game of "wealth-grab." If he can get one or even two of the most high-profile campaign promises done just to mess up Obama's legacy it will boost his ego, but he really doesn't care about that stuff because he doesn't have to. It was never the point of why his handlers pushed him to become the president.

The Righteous Anger of the Wronged

Muhammad Rasheed - Recently I came across the article that revealed that Charlie Bucket, the protagonist of Roald Dahl's Charlie & the Chocolate Factory story, was originally intended to be Black. His agent talked Dahl out of it because the thought police were still in the process of indoctrinating the populace into believing that white is default normal, and they didn't need anything creating any glitches in The Matrix, so to speak.

I thought about the controversy around it for a while, particularly how white racists enjoy pretending that the white-washing of Black characters is 100% equal in every way to making white characters Black, and how they act like both scenarios are equally wrong. This cartoon explains my thoughts on that weak, gaslighting foolishness.

                                      

The second one is actually a light form of reparations.

Victor Burciaga - I'm not white and black washing makes me mad.

Ben Jones - I just wish people would quit with the racism stuff. As long as both sides promote it it will not go away.

Muhammad Rasheed - ???

                                         

Muhammad Rasheed - Do you really think racism is being "promoted" with these cartoons?

Muhammad Rasheed - I thought it was clear that I was 100% against racism.

Ben Jones - Promoted isn't the best word. I do think that taking jabs at people isn't really the way to open lines of communication.

Ben Jones - True racists won't be reached by your cartoons. All it will do is anger them.

Ben Jones - I could be wrong, but I know those people. I've seen how they react. They need a serious change of heart and I really can't recommend the best way to reach them, but this doesn't seem like it.

Muhammad Rasheed - That's what I want. To provoke their anger. The idea that I should instead coddle their feelings so they won't feel bad -- while they continue to oppress my people mind you -- will only maintain the status quo.

Muhammad Rasheed - When has anything ever changed for the better by coddling the bad guy's feelings, Ben?

Ben Jones - But butting heads with them will achieve the same. It's a sad fact.

Ben Jones - The race war hasn't gotten any better. Anger sure isn't helping.

Muhammad Rasheed - Can you think of any time period in history in which the oppressed class won their freedom by kissing the bad guy's butt?

Muhammad Rasheed - Even within the European historical record?

Ben Jones - Nope, but have you seen the problem getting better or worse in the last decade? People are getting madder and listening to each other even less. Why is that happening?

Muhammad Rasheed - The race war hasn't gotten any better because the oppressed class has been subjugated into silence so that the bad guys get their way unopposed.

Muhammad Rasheed - The problem has been stagnant since the civil rights era because the conversation abruptly halted.

Muhammad Rasheed - This enabled the bad guys to gain ground.

Ben Jones - Anger doesn't create useful commentary.

Ben Jones - How do you get both sides having a productive conversation?

Muhammad Rasheed - You admit to me that at no time in history, even among the centuries of European history, has an oppressed class ever won their freedom by coddling their oppressor, and yet here you are advising me to coddle my oppressor's feelings so they don't get mad about it.

Ben Jones - There's a difference in coddling and conversing. What's your solution? Civil War II?

Muhammad Rasheed - Speaking for my ethnic group, I've spent centuries being run over and exploited by these people, they have grown obscenely rich from their diabolical activities (while telling me I'm lazy mind), and you think I shouldn't be angry about it.

Muhammad Rasheed - Their anger is based on their entitlement. They believe they are entitled to a right to exploit me any time they want to. Naturally, I have zero respect for that faux-anger.

Muhammad Rasheed - The normal and natural bad feelings generated by centuries of horrible treatment is 100% part of the Candid & Courageous Conversation that needs to happen, Ben.

Ben Jones - Doesn't really matter what the anger is based on. As long as either side approaches the issue with anger in their heart then there will be no solution.

Muhammad Rasheed - I disagree completely. The anger is righteous, and to me it is due.

Muhammad Rasheed - Just as I am due compensation for the great wrongs done to me.

Ben Jones - Have you ever opened useful dialog with a racist with that approach and changed their mind in the process?

Muhammad Rasheed - To be honest, considering the nature of the offense in question, simply talking to this figure and somehow convincing him to give up trillions of dollars in wealth he exploited from me, never seemed realistic.

Muhammad Rasheed - Has he not proven that he will literally kill, steal & destroy for this massive wealth he's hoarded at my expense? Logic, reason and civilized discourse never seemed to be a true goal for him in any way.

Muhammad Rasheed - It seems to me, that what he wants to negotiate is for the educated middle class Blacks to accept a tiny little piece of the wealth he has amassed from his exploitation, and in exchange, for us to agree to allow him to continue to exploit the poorest Blacks so he can continue to grow that wealth. That's what he actually wants.

Naturally, this is 100% unacceptable for me, but I expect him to fight to the death to win that scenario, since he only cares about wealth.

Ben Jones - So we're just talking about Trump here? Yeah. I'm pretty sure neither of us will change his mind on pretty much anything.

Muhammad Rasheed - lol No, we're not just talking about Trump, Ben.

The figure we're talking about is a symbolic representative of a collective. The one that fought the bloodiest war in American history because he didn't want to give up his trillion dollar economic slave system. The one that repealed all the Reconstruction laws in fury when he saw the former slaves controlling their own lives in politics. The one that imposed jim crow laws, and terrorized the Black people with white supremacist guerrilla warfare. The one that used gerrymandering and redlining to exploit Blacks through the real estate game, which destroyed Black neighborhoods and plummeted them into perpetual poverty (while calling them lazy, of course). The one that unleashed the designer drugs into Black communities to feed Slavery 2.0 of the mass incarceration for-profit prison system (while blaming the Blacks for it).

THAT guy. You know him.

Muhammad Rasheed - You think that figure wants to actually have an empathetic heart-to-heart with me, when for centuries he's only ever seen me as prey?

Muhammad Rasheed - You know, during the height of slavery and jim crow's brutality, the word he used for my righteous anger was "uppity."

Muhammad Rasheed - As a slave, and as a 2nd class citizen -- legally -- I didn't rate the righteous anger of a full U.S. Citizen to him, you see.

Muhammad Rasheed - So telling me TODAY that I have no right to be angry at centuries of evil inflicted upon me, is to deny my manhood, my citizenship, and my humanity, Ben.

Muhammad Rasheed - His anger is false, and based on the spoiled, savage entitlement of the devil's imp.

Mine is the righteous anger of the wronged.

Ben Jones - And your solution is?

Ben Jones - Sounds like your solution is to be mad. And he'll be mad and everyone will be mad and we'll just keep what we've got now.

Muhammad Rasheed - No. I haven't been allowed to be mad, remember? People like you are always calming me down. lol MLK's "non-violent" tactics were used to sap my anger just in time for the assassinations and COINTELPRO plans of the enemy.

Muhammad Rasheed - You asked me "And your solution is?" because you know I am right about him. You know he will never willingly give up that wealth, nor the means to maintain it.

You KNOW that in the end, there will be only one solution, and my freedom will come at only one price.

Ben Jones - Is there any solution to your anger?

Muhammad Rasheed - Sure. Justice.

Muhammad Rasheed - Tell your pharaoh to let my people go, and pay us our Reparations.

Muhammad Rasheed - Do this and my anger will downgrade to merely the academic kind one feels abstractly from reading about distant historical lessons. Make the wrongs right, and what use will I have then for my anger?

Do this. Free me of these shackles, and free your soul, from the white man's tyranny, please. Thank you.

Muhammad Rasheed - If you do not, then I'll have to take it. The White Supremacist Age is drawing to its close. Aquarius is upon us, and it is time for new things. Freedom will be new for me after half a millennium, and the wealth of the wicked is my birthright, you know?

Ben Jones - In other words end racism and you won't be angry anymore. Well that's where we started. Open hearted conversation is the only thing that will affect the future of racism in our country.

Muhammad Rasheed - Define "open-hearted," Ben.

Muhammad Rasheed - I found a racist radio talking head named Rod Dreher about a month or so ago. He believes that racism is the sole fault of "Black resentments." He believes that if only Blacks would simply forgive racist attacks and just don't think about them, racism will be cured.

In other words, he wants us to stay in "our place," and accept our subjugated/exploited state as the natural order of things.

Ben Jones - But that's just stupid, right?

Racism is only a one sided problem is only one side is being racist.

Muhammad Rasheed – "Is that stupid"? I consider his comments to be no less than a declaration of war. If such filth were to assault my ears during this "open-hearted" dialogue you envision, there would be problems.

Muhammad Rasheed - What I expect for him to negotiate at such a dialogue is a limited reparations for the Black middle class in exchange for us to sacrifice the Black poor to his Slavery II sequel. That's what he wants IF he is forced to negotiate at all. Naturally he'll prefer to have his agents continue telling me not to be angry so he can duck ever needing to have that meeting. Only my anger, and the economic force at my command that such anger will wield, will finally get him to sit for that dialogue. Force is the only language he'll snap to over, and economic force more so than any other secular blade.

Ben Jones - If we do true Reparations as a country we will return this land to its original inhabitants, correct?

Muhammad Rasheed - I'm not interested in that. The First Nations may negotiate their own stuff. I'm only concerned with my own.

Muhammad Rasheed - The First Nations deserve their own space for the righting of their wrongs, not as a tack-on to mine.

Ben Jones - Racism man. Maybe it'll never go away.

Ben Jones - Gotta get some work done. Interesting debate. Have a good day guys.

Muhammad Rasheed - Have a wonderful day, Ben. And thank you.

Ben Jones - @Muhammad Rasheed… You do the same.

Who is REALLY African-American?

LaTonya Rosetta Reed - When African Americans advocate 4 their own Civil Rights, some people (even some Black ppl) assert that we are being "divisive," rather than promoting "unity. In REALITY, however, it's just politics; meaning that if U want the support of our communities (Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, et.al), the A.American community needs 2 see, & EXPERIENCE Ur support of our economic advancement. No more "freebies." THAT's Black Politics, not "divisiveness," just like with the LBGT's or any group of people.

Tanya Lamphier - Kamala Harris didn't do anything for the state of CA as AG and I dealt with her office (whilst she was AG and now that no AG has really been named in title least that I know of) while she held the title and it was (and still is) a mess. Many people I know (fellow survivors of homicide and victims advocates alike) couldn't believe the horrible things she advocated for.

What I don't get is I never hear any black people mention Condie Rice. I think she did a fabulous job as Secretary of State and is qualified for position as First Lady POTUS.

LaTonya Rosetta Reed - Yes, Condie is fab. DK 'bout Kamala; I, also dealt w/her Office in Callie, & didn't leave feeling warm & fuzzy. Guess she's currently advocating 4 some bail/prison reform, which is good. We'll see.

Adventures in Free Speech: Personalized Self-Censorship

U.S. cartoonists self-censor themselves all the time. Sure they do. Everyone has a line they won’t cross, even when the bulk of their work is in a genre traditionally considered risqué or hardcore raunchy.

Cartoonists spend a great deal of time mining their brains for ideas to wrap their art around, and they spend the majority of that time discarding concepts they personally consider ‘bad’ or ‘no way.’ This vetting is highly subjective, of course, as a cartoonist like R. Crumb would probably consider the hastily discarded ideas of a Jim Davis to be a gold mine.

The Actions of Belief

David Baldwin - Is it my fault I don't believe in God?

Muhammad Rasheed - According to scripture, "Belief in God" is a body of actions, a deliberate lifestyle choice that requires continuous maintenance throughout your lifespan. The actions that prove belief per God's criteria include continuous re-affirmations that you agree that God is indeed the Creator Supreme of reality, rejection of the temptations and sin that God commanded the believer to avoid, and the performing of righteous deeds per God's checklist. Scripture explains that "faith without works is dead," with the message that merely saying one believes will not be counted as belief on your record if such a thought is not joined by the Actions of Belief as described above. Even if one harbors secret doubts, and yet still faithfully performs the actions in one's life until death, one will still be rewarded by the Creator as a believer. You'll have everything to gain if you give God the benefit of the doubt that God's message is true, and you'll have everything to lose -- beyond your wildest imaginings -- if you reject the truth of God's existence.

Based on this understanding of the message of sacred scripture, it's your record of actions in life that will reveal that you did not believe. Belief in God is 100% choice, and to not use your Free Will to make the choice to commit to the lifestyle of that belief will absolutely be all your fault.

David Baldwin - This is a scary answer because it's not like I actively pursue disbelief. It just happened over time. I'm still basically a good person. Scripture is a big part of why I reject God. It's so contrived to me. What you've written just sounds like Pascal’s wager recycled. Ugh.

Muhammad Rasheed - Once you’ve become aware of the message of scripture, not actively pursuing belief is active pursuit of disbelief by default, David. You have to work to guard your believing lifestyle, and reject the temptations that attack it, even when they come from the depths of your own treacherous mind. On Judgment Day you will certainly be asked if you heard the message, and what you did once you heard it.

Rejecting God’s Call once heard is the very wrong answer.

David Baldwin - If there is a god, I choose to believe I will be judged as a good man. If that is not enough - if I will be damned to eternal suffering because of my disbelief - then I choose to also believe that god is not just nor good. Thank you for your answer and response to my question / comment.

Omg I just watched that video it was beyond corny.

Muhammad Rasheed - During the Judgment Event of the All-Knowing God — the One truly unique Being in all of existence — your deeds will be evaluated according to the parameters set by God, not the subjective, significantly less all-knowing whims of any members of the creation. You are not God’s peer, David; God doesn’t require your input into how things will/should be done.

Take heed.

Muhammad Rasheed - lol I was trying to find a clip composed ONLY of the hands dragging her down into the pit. hahaha I didn’t really want all the corny parts in it.

Racism by Gaslight

JRE Clips - Comedian Theo Von used to work out with David Duke. When asked what he was like, Theo said, "Honestly, he seemed like a nice guy, dude."

Muhammad Rasheed - "Honestly, he seemed like a nice guy, dude."

That's everything I need to know about white people, right there. smh lol wow...

Kincaid Beach - M. Rasheed wrote: "that's everything i need to know about white people, right there."

That's everything i need to know about black people, right there.

See how dumb that sounds? You probably don't.

Muhammad Rasheed - lol You lack the authority to say what is dumb sounding or not, klansman. Beat it.

Kincaid Beach - did you delete my comment too? what a little pussy. lol And just because someone says he doesn't seem like a bad guy in person, doesn't mean he agrees with his perception on other things in life, you narrow minded half wit.

alright. he didn't delete it. shit youtube didn't load up the entire thread. Apologies. You're still a dumb ass though.

Muhammad Rasheed - The problem is that we're talking about a professional white supremacist. Even though you and Theo seem to have a VERY loose definition of what constitutes "niceness" ("He didn't lynch any Blacks or Jews while I was working out with him that day") I'm the one from the group that Duke directs his evil. So while you are ignorantly calling me a 'dumb ass' while lacking the ability to empathize with anyone that isn't white, I find both Theo's matter-of-fact comment, and your triggered response to mine, quite telling.

But please keep on adding references that back up my "everything I need to know about white people" file folder. Thanks. ;)

max callero - what did you want him to do lie about it? its clear he understands hes a horrible person and he wouldnt have been lice if he was black

Muhammad Rasheed - What's clear to you through your #SupportTeamRahRah lens is opaque through mine. What's clear to me is he was saying that as long as the guy was nice to him then he didn't care about that other stuff, since it didn't affect him personally. That's what every other human in the universe means when they use "Honestly, he seemed like a nice guy, dude" in context.

But please keep trying your smoke-blowing, gaslighting procedures. I'm riveted.

                            


hair ledoux - @M. Rasheed... so stupid you cant tell max was on your side. You just see the boogeyman wherever you turn. Pathetic

Muhammad Rasheed - @hair ledoux... So you think "he understands hes a horrible person" is synonymous with "he seemed like a nice guy," huh? lol Because those are literally the polar opposite, chief.

Your gaslighting skills are really shitty, hair. You may wish to take an Udemy class or something.

max callero - your right dude this man is a total racist and that means all white guys are racist. that makes so much more sense than assuming that he doesnt understand that one of the most hated guys in america is a bad person. makes total sense. thank you for enlightening me

Muhammad Rasheed - +max callero... EXHIBIT A - Trump is the POTUS. You have no argument.

Take a seat, racist.

Kincaid Beach - you're literally labeling an entire race based off of individuals. if you don't see how you are PART OF THE PROBLEM then there's nothing less to call you than a dumb ass.

His statement was matter of face in the sense of his experience with the guy. He doesn't speak on behalf everyone else that's had to deal with him or anything about his shortcomings to all perspectives. He's talking about HIS experience with the individual. So, yes, you are a racist piece of shit like Duke. Good job.

Muhammad Rasheed - Kincaid, I'm not part of the problem at all. I'm of the group that is abused by the problem. Theo sees nothing wrong with David Duke, the professional white supremacist ("He seemed nice to ME, bro!"), and you got triggered at my hyperbolic quasi-joke and unleashed a butthurt stream of name-calling at me. hahahaha That gave you away as a racist, bud. You probably have Duke's poster up in your bedroom, don't you? smh

His "experience with the guy" as a white guy, right? hahahahaa OF COURSE Duke seemed nice to another white guy because that's how white supremacy works. hahahaha But you keep calling ME the dumb ass/nit-wit, right? You're doing a poor job representing for your klan btw.

Stop using the word "racist" wrong because it's not helping you. Hyperbole is a normal and accepted part of human discourse and I can use it all I want. The fact that you think my using it magically makes me a racist means you need to go study for that GED you've been putting off.

Kincaid Beach - That string of nonsense was a painful expression of mental gymnastics and backpedaling I've ever witnessed. So now you were just joking, but somehow I'm a klan member because i stated to the literal point of now what you claim to be a joke as you filing an entire race after witnessing one person's view point on someone else.

It's like you don't even understand implied statements and basic reading and comprehension because you're so fixated on your narrative. That was the point of me explicitly and repetitively stating HIS INDIVIDUAL POINT OF VIEW OF THE PERSON. So no, only you still are the dumb ass in this shit poor excuse of a conversation.

And now I'm supposedly "triggered" because I call you on your bull shit? lol These buzz words are even more pathetic when poorly used. And no, I'm using racist by the literal definition of the word. You're making a general statement for an entire group of individuals based on a few. That is the epitome of being racist, you racist dumb ass.

So keep on telling yourself that you were "hyperbolizing the situation" to make yourself not seem like such a racist POS; and I'll keep telling myself that the majority of the world isn't as dumb as you so I can still hold hope for this world, but we both know that's as much bull shit as what you're saying.

And i know you're not going to understand any of this and you're, again, going to twist this into whatever skewed perspective you're fucked mind with conjure, but it's worth at least trying one more time to show you how dumb you really are.

I'll file this under "another racist dumb ass". It's getting pretty full.

Muhammad Rasheed - I said "quasi-joking." Meaning it was a joke in its presentation, but we both know it was real based on the nature of western society.

To be clear, you outed yourself as a white supremacist because you got triggered at my original post, yes. Triggered because you don't like to think about the whole evil racist thing and it makes you defensive. Apparently this reaction is normal for your kind. lol And it's not just "one person's viewpoint." Stop. You're the one that put Trump in office. lol Please note that just because you type lies while using caps-lock, it doesn't turn them into truths. Caps-lock is not a magic spell, Kincaid. Santa Claus isn't real either btw.

Stop pretending you know what 'racist' means. Thanks.

All racists call people dumb when they witness racist behavior getting called out. Take a bow for outing yourself as a racist. You've earned it.

All references to my "twisting" anything is you trying your weak-willed gaslighting on me. You can quit that now since I don't respect you enough for it to work. You have a healthy respect for your own white privilege powers, I see. ;)

rpr kjj - Von was only being honest. It doesn't surprise me that David Duke can be a pleasant person considering he was a politician and got many people to follow him. He probably did seem like a nice guy to Theo, that doesn't mean he's endorsing David duke, it just means he's not willing to lie for the sake of virtue signaling. you act like all racists are aggressive and anti-social.

Muhammad Rasheed - @rpr kjj…That's missing the point all together, and demonstrates a joining together to support your race tribe. That’s what all these justification comments from you and Kincaid are doing for me, that whole 'stick together no matter what/rah rah, team!' stuff. Look at it this way: Of course a blond blue-eyed 'aryan' white guy would say that the lunch he had with ole Adolph was pleasant and civilized. Would he represent the group that Adolph couldn't stand? Then why are you two acting like this is even a valid response in any way? A white guy says to another white guy that a blatantly evil pro-white white guy was nice to him as a fellow white guy. Of course he was being honest. All Duke saw was a white kid he could mold and "instruct." Come on, are you really not trying to see my point, or is this just a gaslighting technique disguised as something else? At least TRY to meet me halfway here.

hair ledoux - Dude honestly someone saying that a psychopath seemed nice is mostly cliche anymore. The btk killer seemed nice to people. Jeffery Dahmer had a quiet and nice demeanor. Its quite common. Also, theo von is a comedian with a dry sense of humor. It almost sounded like there was a hint of sarcasm. Anyway. Its racist to say that all white people align this way. Particularly when a whole pile of retarded white people go march with blm. Just my two cents. Black people are mostly lower iq though so it doesn't surprise me that you are too slow to understand

Muhammad Rasheed - @hair ledoux... I'm affiliated with the BLM leadership, and I'm quite aware of the large network of financial support and warm body support the group gets from the well-meaning white crowd. Please see my "hyperbole" comment to Kincaid (that his triggered-ness caused him to dismiss in his klan rage).

Muhammad Rasheed - @hair ledoux... So what makes the whites that support BLM "retarded" exactly? I want to hear you say it.

Bearing in mind that the whole point of the group is to pressure the government into stopping police brutality in the African-American community. Why do you believe that whites are "retarded" for agreeing with their mission? Tell me.

hair ledoux - because your narrative is incorrect. Whether you are wilfully ignorant or running a scam is what is in question

Muhammad Rasheed - Tell me why you believe that whites who support BLM are "retarded." That has nothing to do with my narrative. Tell me.

rpr kjj - @M. Rasheed… You're not wrong but your response of "that tells me all I need to know about white people," is inherently racist and not helping. Maybe be more specific with your criticism, because a line like that tells me nothing other than "damn wypipo!"

Muhammad Rasheed - @rpr kjj... I appreciate your response, but I disagree that my hyperbole is contributing to any kind of problem whatsoever. If I check my "damn wypipo" attitude, will that magically make the racist police brutality numbers drop? The historical record has shown that MLK's signature non-violence/peaceful protest tactics were a complete failure, and it actually empowered the bad guys to get worse. So I'm intrigued at your philosophy that members of the disenfranchised group shouldn't express any kind of frustrated attitude at the west's culture of systemic racism that negatively affects my ethnic group in general while supporting yours.

Recently I found a white racist talking head named Rod Dreher, who believes that racism is the fault of "Black resentments." He said that if Blacks would just ignore racist attacks and just forgive them and get over it, we wouldn't have a race problem at all. In other words, whites interpret "racism" to be Black complaining about bad treatment by whites. "If they would just shut up, the racism would be solved."

Naturally this insanity triggered my "damn wypipo" attitude you mentioned earlier.

These comments from you all only support the batshit crazy philosophy of Dreher, and of course I must reject this as a weak attempt to solve the race problem. To say the least.

rpr kjj - @M. Rasheed... Never once did I say you shouldn't be frustrated and stop speaking about oppression, like you said that's how we fix the problem. But, assuming you are an adult and not a child, that doesn't excuse racism. "All black people are criminals" is also hyperbole, don't snake out of responsibility for what you said which was racist, simple as that. You also ignored the part where I asked clarification on your issue, because I still don't know and I imagine it's not simply "damn wypipo," which is pretty much what you wrote.

Muhammad Rasheed - @rpr kjj... Well, hyperbole is one of the tools I use to speak out about racism, and it isn't causing any problems in the world whatsoever. Are a disproportionate number of whites being profiled by cops, brutalized, imprisoned on trumped-up and/or false charges and killed because of "all whites are criminals?" My hyperbole is 100% harmless, and doesn't double as a mentality of systemic racism. So your pet false equivalency logical fallacy that you are wielding so confidently is only wasting both our time.

I fleshed out my original post criticism while chatting with Kincaid and hair. i'll wait for you to catch up.

hair ledoux - @M. Rasheed... im with him. Your group is just somewhat annoying. Not worth too much of my time. Try to become an individual. Its just a suggestion. You can do what you want with your life.

Muhammad Rasheed - +hair ledoux... I find your "Try to become an individual" comment ironic since no one functions as a group hive-mind more than the white conservative. I'll assume that's what you want to you with your life, amirite?

hair ledoux - @M. Rasheed… are you asking if i want to be a conservative? That doesnt even make sense. Political leaning is not something you work for. If you are asking if i want to be in politics then the answer is no. I would do it if we could start from scratch but both sides are way to fucked up for my taste

Muhammad Rasheed - @hair ledoux... No, I'm asking if you deciding to join the big white identity conservative politik was something you actually deliberately signed onto as an individual's choice.

hair ledoux - Honestly the problem is black. White people would really love it if we could get along. I find blacks to be hilarious. Talented in so many ways. But this multicultural experiment seems not to be working. Cant say we didnt try though. Sidenote. Systematic racism is a fantasy blacks have designed to answer any problems they face. Its really kind of sad

Muhammad Rasheed - hair ledoux wrote: "White people would really love it if we could get along."

What does "get along" mean exactly when you say it? "Get along" in what way specifically? Bear in mind that the two races have a long history in this country together, and we definitely haven't seen eye to eye on what that means. American History is kind of famous for the discrepancy actually, so I'll need you to be more precise in meaning so we'll be sure to be on the same page.

hair ledoux - M. Rasheed again. Ones politics are not deliberate. Did you choose to be liberal or are you just liberal. Get it?

Muhammad Rasheed - @+hair ledoux... "One" definitely deliberately chooses a political orientation, and can even flip from liberal to conservative as the climate dictates. For example, I know several people who originally pulled for Bernie Sanders, and were so enraged at Hillary's DNC nomination, switched to Republican to vote for Trump, who they saw as the OTHER "outsider." So I reject your nonsensical and unsophisticated point of view on that item. As an orthodox Muslim, I'm a lot more conservative than you seem to believe. As a Black man I am naturally pro-Black. Does pro-Black equal liberal to you by default? If so, do you think Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell, Condoleezza and Omarossa are race traitors?

hair ledoux - @M. Rasheed nope. You questioning me about conservatism made me believe you were a liberal. Also, anybody who was going to vote for bernie certainly is a liberal. Just because they voted for the conservative this time doesnt change that. Having a conservative outlook on politics is not chosen anymore than eye color. It is who you are. Take the issues one by one. Abortion. I dont want your answer but if you are for or against it was that feeling a choice? Do you also choose when you are cold? If you dont understand then i cant help you. Off topic a little but now that i know you are a muslim...please stop raping people. That is a choice and you should choose to stop it

Muhammad Rasheed - @hair ledoux... If by "nope" you actually mean "yup" then I agree. Otherwise you are spewing an ideology that doesn't align to reality. Political talking points aren't "who you are," they are either what you deliberately chose, or what you were indoctrinated in. Either way you can always change your mind and opt out.

"Raping people" isn't linked to Islam, that's a cultural thing from a people who traditionally subscribed to Islam. I can see why someone who hasn't taken the time to understand what the religion is really about would be confused by that though, considering certain cultures have become synonymous with the religion itself. I'm an African-American Muslim, and haven't raped anyone. Considering that white men statistically can't seem to stop raping Black women, please stop raping them. That is a choice and you should choose to stop it.

hair ledoux - @M. Rasheed... what do you mean what do i mean about get along? You yourself are a member of the group that has decided it is not possible. Whites have done everything we can to appease you. More. The united states made it the cool new thing to not have slavery. More. Ok we did away with segregation. More. Ok do you want section 8 housing. More. Does food stamps work. More. How about an easier path through college. More. How about a president. More. Well reparations isnt happening. One of your leaders made a list asking for our houses. Why if we are opressors and you are equals or even better than us do you keep asking us for shit. Go get it on your own!!

Muhammad Rasheed - @hair ledoux... What?

So BLM telling your cops to stop brutalizing us means we've decided that it's not possible for the two races to get along? Does that make sense? If that were true, what would be the point of working towards that change? Make sense, please.

hair ledoux wrote: "Whites have done everything we can to appease you."

I don't think "appease" means what you think it means. You know, back during slavery, the running Black stereotype was that Blacks were happy & content to be enslaved, and we were always singing and dancing because we were so content. That was the conservative slave owner's political talking point to justify the chattel economic system. When the 13th Amendment was passed to abolish slavery, the slave owner class immediately took advantage of the 13th amendment's loophole ("unless as punishment for a crime"), and overnight the Black stereotype changed from the "happy singing & dancing people" to the inherently criminal. In the 150 yrs since slavery legally ended, whites have self-indoctrinated themselves into thinking we are all bad apples, until it has eventually led to the current mass incarceration Prison Industrial Complex era, where "the over-incarceration of adults has severely damaged generations of black and minority families and their children." These conditions were made much worse when the old Black business communities were deliberately destroyed by deliberately running the new expressway systems through them. That combined with the fact that the vast majority of American citizens benefiting from the socialized programs you listed are the wealthy who scam the system (Section 8 voucher hoarding) and the nation's poor white communities.

Everything you think you know about race relations is wrong.

rpr kjj - M. Rasheed M. Rasheed

It delegitimizes your cause. What your racism tells me is that if the roles were reversed, black people would be equally oppressive to white people. You carry the same hate in your heart as any white racist, difference is you're losing. That's not a pretty picture when you want to sell BLM as a path to equality and not black supremacy. There's one problem.

Another problem is that your idea that normal people can be evil to each other in private or in conversation and it has no effect on the world at large thus it is not a problem. If police brutality is the only thing you think can be considered a racial issue than you're missing the point of why racism is why bad. That's a ridiculously stupid mindset. I mean really, if I called you a nigger, what effect would that have on the world at large? Nothing, you would just be mad. That's it. By your logic, that's not a problem.

And I'm not reading through that whole wall of text just to hear you tell me what your actual problem is. It shouldn't be that complicated.

hair ledoux - @M. Rasheed... oh and david duke would have to be one crafty fucker to turn blacks against themselves. Because you know statistically a black police officer is more likely to kill a black man than a white officer is. Kinda blows your whole faggot argument up doesnt it. And before you say thats a bullshit story why dont you look it up. Washington post

hair ledoux - @M. Rasheed... no no. You are wrong. The prison industrial complex is one of the dumbest things i have ever heard. Stop committing crimes. Why is it somebody else's fault that blacks make up a large percentage of the criminal population? You have all the rights and more opportunity than anybody else. Im done with this. We will never find common ground. And you will never find the answers you seek because they dont exist

hair ledoux - @M. Rasheed... i know there are white people using handouts as well. You dont hear them crying foul either though do you? For what its worth i find those people unbearable too. Entitlements should stop except for for those who truly cant take care of themselves

Muhammad Rasheed - rpr kjj wrote: "And I'm not reading through that whole wall of text just to hear you tell me what your actual problem is."

This is the bottom line of your own "whole wall of text." You have no interest in knowing the truth about the nation's most enduring problem, you'd much rather rant & spew your ideological justifications for why you uphold white supremacy. It comes down to "We HAVE to do this to Blacks! if we don't, then they'll just turn around and do it to us!" Of course this is unacceptable, and I will continue to call out your savage evil however way I see fit.

We are done here. I have all the data I need.

Muhammad Rasheed - hair ledoux wrote: "M. Rasheed no no. You are wrong."

No, I'm not. You are merely willfully ignorant on the topic, using that wall to protect your white supremacist ideology. You're not 'listening' and prefer to believe the evil that your folk cooked up about me that the elite use to exploit me. We can NEVER get along because you are committed to this evil the white race used to attack, subjugate and exploit the world in the first place. We are at war. That's the truth of it. A 500 year old race war, and you are crazy.

hair ledoux wrote: "Why is it somebody else's fault that blacks make up a large percentage of the criminal population?"

lol Because white supremacists are the cops and it's their job to terrorize me, invent fake charges, and push me through the for-profit prison machine, idiot.

hair ledoux wrote: "is it ok if i am 'pro-white'?"

Sure. There's nothing inherently wrong with being a descendant of the Euro-ethnic tribes. Be white. It's "pro-white supremacy" that's the problem. "Weaponized whiteness" is the source of all my ills, and of your spoiled, heroin-addicted entitlement.

hair ledoux wrote: "You dont hear them crying foul either..."

Really? Because no one whines more than your entitled folk. Remember, the poor whites were infuriated when the Black slaves were freed, and it's their whining specifically that tore down the gains of Reconstruction. It's their whining that created the New Deal social programs (that Blacks were excluded from), and it's their whining that led to their heroin epidemic of white entitlement-induced depression.

I'm not seeking any answers from you lot because I'm educated on the topic. I know the subject. You're the one that dodges the race-relations topic like Neo dodging bullets, and proudly admits ignorance regarding the moving parts involved ("The prison industrial complex is one of the dumbest things i have ever heard.").

I'm done. I can't take reading anymore of your comments. I'll get cancer or some shit.

Should We Give McGregor "Credit" for His Reckless Greed?

Muhammad Rasheed - You want me to give Conor McGregor "credit" for agreeing to becoming a multi-millionaire? Because that's all that happened here. Remember when people would ask if you'd fight Iron Mike Tyson for a million dollars? Of COURSE you would do it, while praying you didn't die. That's all this fight represented.

Conor proved he was willing to risk his health for mega-wealth, in a high-stakes episode of "Jackass." That's all. Since he was already a professional prize fighter anyway, this risk was less brave for him than it would've been for you as a non-pro fighter, but the basic principle was still the same when you pit a 0-0 novice boxer against the 49-0 future hall-of-fame, long-time pound-for-pound, boxing prodigy, multi-world champion. I'm not giving Conor "credit" to be a reckless daredevil for big money when we ALL would've jumped at the chance to make $100 million in less than an hour. That's why Quora is all of a sudden full of "How can I challenge Floyd, too???" questions. lol

The False Friend

Muhammad Rasheed - So Michael Rapaport admits that he's never rooted for Floyd Mayweather, Jr. before, but he did for the McGregor fight.  He hasn't rooted for him in the previous 49 fights for all the usual reasons, including the "I just don't like him" one.

That makes me wonder why he decided to root for Floyd for his 50th fight. What changed? Well, what changed was the enormous amounts of attention drawn in the direction of the super-event, a super-event that has the force of two big sport fan audiences converging on it, as well as the HUGE energy typically generated by such a racially-charged spectacle.

It's clear to me that Rapaport is merely taking advantage of that giant audience to position himself better in his career. That's fine. That's good business, and by itself there's nothing wrong with that.

That's not all that's involved here though.

Despite the fact that Rapaport has never rooted for Floyd -- for all the typical reasons white men haven't rooted for Floyd -- he's suddenly campaigning on this anti-racism shtick. "They've accused me of being a n*99er lover for my beliefs!" the actor proclaims, while he goes on this odd post-fight tour. What is he doing during the tour? Oh, he just happens to be promoting a book he has coming out, a book that has a chapter about Floyd called something like "Great in the ring, shitty in life." He's throwing Floyd's old sins in his face like the Accusing spirit of scripture, which is interesting since Rapaport claims the Jewish identity, and he knows Floyd himself is a believer in Abraham's God. In the comments section under the above linked video, people are praising Rapaport saying stuff like "If all white people were like him the world would be a better place."

Really? Because based on the historical record, the western civilization is a shitty place precisely because of what men exactly like Rapaport have done. Just like the original architects of the White Supremacist Ideology, Rapaport is also  exploiting a Black man he can't stand for a personal economic come-up . Michael Rapaport is an opportunist who's exploiting racism and a Black body to enrich himself. PERIOD.

He is NOT your friend. He's an asshole who will do ANYTHING for money. Beware.
