Or "real world problems" ike evil statues still standing. Tearing those down should be the utmost priority over everything else lmfao.

What pooty/whirly really means when he says "real world problems"
are things he doesn't like like Trump, nationalism, capitalism, Christianity, right-wingers, people who don't share his Darwinian view of the world, etc.... those are the "real world problems" in his tiny sick mind.

I was reluctant, but once they toppled the statue of famous confederate general Frederick Douglass I was on board.

What makes the entire thing preposterous is the posturing with nothing of significance.

There is just an entirely bad culture undermining the movement but as S&M said its good for democrat dollars🙂

I wonder how much the marxist trained leaders will be taking home as well or are they spreading all the money throughout the community?

And all this talk about how the cops are bad and need to be defunded, all these city councils virtue signaling to do so...all it has amounted to is:

-statues toppled
-cops retiring en masse
-crime rates increasing

Winning?

And oh shit even Camden that morons brought up isn't as simple as people think, and this is from a dog shit left leaning site:

Camden is not a blueprint for disbanding the police

Oof, good thing nobody here touted it, imagine the embarrassment.

Yeah, I find those boycotts so performative. It’s because we are taught that we are “voting with our dollars”, which is mostly bullshit really. If you don’t want to eat Goya beans cause the CEO praised Trump, or you don’t want to wear Nike’s cause you disagree with them casting Kaepernick in an ad, sure go ahead. But the idea that we need to do consumer boycott and that sends a strong political message is laughable imo, and very much fits the toxic definition of “virtue signaling”.

The nike thing is mind boggling. Forget Kap for a second, what about the sweatshops? Suddenly you could look the other way cuz they were giving a millionaire even more money...

Yeah, that’s a much better reason for anger, I still think that a consumer boycott puts emphasis on the wrong thing, as if individuals can really affect much just by 5eir buying decisions. I mean what ethical sneakers should they buy instead...the whole industry is unethical. So what is needed is regulation and strong policy to ensure that working standards are kept around the world. Much more so than consumer boycotts, which are fickle and easy to manipulate.

I wonder if this quote is applicable to rap culture?

“If one should desire to know whether a kingdom is well governed, if its morals are good or bad, the quality of its music will furnish the answer.”

Ahhh, yes, the murders of black people continue. Before long, we will have more black people murdered on the daily than COVID-19 deaths.

But don't tell anyone: black lives really don't matter.

Oh, that reminds me: black people seem to be more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and are getting infected and dying disproportionately. I know, I know: black lives really don't matter.

But to me they do. Anyone talked about what they are going to do to solve the problem of black bodies piling up on the daily? I'd like to know.

1.Build up jobs and funding in the areas where its happening.

2.Legalise less lethal drugs like Cannabis to help end the drug war.

3. Definitely dont defund the police in said areas.

You're more welcome to the come to the US and run for public office - I'd vote for you.

Hilariously I believe Trump did something to help spur economic zones that were down trodden already.

Realistically though you need to travel in some of what I call section 8 towns to see why someone might be reluctant to build a shiny new business in those areas atm.

I made a thing:

You didn't make that, it's been on the democratic reddit page 4evah🙂 Something like 2k thumbs up to it.
