Obviously this author is bored.

To the author:

Get a job, a real job. Work hard, save your money, just like white people do.

Buy a house, pay it off. Support yourself by dedicating a reserve of superannuation for your retirement.

And...here's the rub. Vote for a black president, as many white fools did in the US.

Like...how stupid do you want white people to be?

The land of the free! The birthplace of democracy, equality, fraternity and assembly! What a joke! I mean, the very best democracy money can buy!

And where the (elected dictator) president's thugs can kidnap you in broad daylight for the crime of protesting racism and police brutality. And presumably with the consent of the adoring and cheering racist rednecks, who just don't get it. I mean, how much better off are they?

That the more this thing/distraction writ large is tolerated, the less real freedom they have. Stop listening to the BS! Get out and vote, your real and only power, to remove a man, who only wants to stay in power to avoid facing justice and the tax man!

Given he knows he could spend the balance of his days in maximum security prison, for the crime of tax evasion? Roll on November and the election!

In the interim, understand you cannot be kidnapped in broad daylight for protesting in the streets, If you are not out there giving this president, the opportunity.

If you must protest? Do it in planned and organised, day, date and time, reverent silence. And by taking a knee, en masse!

In my experiences I found non-whites to be the more racist yet they keep bleating racism ! Weird !

If you want to see the most racist people on this planet, look no further than the Black Rights Matter activists. You will find peak hate there too.

'they are sick and tired of systemic racism against Black people, of bigotry at the top, crude discrimination, police brutality, a prejudiced criminal justice system, economic disparity, and society's robbing black people of experiencing real freedom and equality.'

no the biggest pandemic is the dangerous left wing academics/teachers/journalist who get paid to indoctrinate the young and publish lying rubbish like this article. If Alan was truely concerned about racism he might look at any of the middle eastern countries or China to learn what the word means. The lying lefts narrative is far more dangerous than even the number of blacks killing blacks. The rare examples of cops killing blacks more often than not have many facts left out of the reporting. Isn't there any professors left with the integrity to tell the truth? I suppose they would be out of a job quickly.

runner,
The evidence of that is all around us ! I have long been saying Australia's worst enemy is from within !

Individual and Hasbeen, you are both so correct.

A nation divided against itself cannot stand! Yes there is black racism. And writ large in Zimbabwe, Kenya with the mau mau rampage, or in Figi where the Figians were running amok with machetes, murdering ethenic Indians, who were transported there as cheap labour by white plantation owners. Or in Malaysia, where Chinese coolies were imported to work the copper mines. Or here where Kanacks were kidnapped to work white men's sugar fields!

And nobody needs tell me that the communist leadership in Beijing are saints! Or that what they are doing in Hong Kong is virtuous. But as bad as they seem to be, the most powerful white man in the world has not covered himself with glory. When he of all people should set the example the rest of the world can follow, i.e., one catches more flies with a teaspoon of honey, than a whole jar of vinegar.

Alan B,
The State archives hold numerous ledgers of applications from Kanakas wishing to work in Qld.
One Caledonian was in fact eventually given the ok after having been deported 8 times for coming here illegally. Black birding did occur in the Beche de Mer colllecting years & many 'recruiters' were South Pacific Islanders who established themselves in Northern Qld & their descendants are now firmly a substantial part of 'indigenous' society here. Yes, there were unscrupulous Whites also but not in the numbers being portrayed by some novelists & writers of popular 'History'..

Our group of racists apologists are frothing at the mouth over this one. NOTHING TO SEE HERE! they thunder with all their usual bluster!

Thank you Alon for the consciousness of what is the situation in the United States. No amount of deflection or denial from our forums 'Usual Suspects' will detract from what is the reality.

Paul1405,
You never fail in obliging to expose your mentality ! It would be nice to just once get an answer with a proposal for a solution from you instead of insipid quips !
Why do you you hate it so much when we provide evidence for which your indoctrination has no acceptance ?

Paul,

what is the reality?

The reality is what you fellas in your comfort zone like to deny. Read the article and then criticise, but until then you don't have a leg to stand on. As it is titled;'The pandemic of racism In America', is factual and presents the reality, not your rednecked blinked view of denial, or your habit of victim shaming that you so often engage in. The time has come where the oppressed are sick of the pathetic excuses of the oppressors.

The Americans can do themselves a great symbolic service in November by unceremoniously dumping that nincompoop, the racists-in-chief, Donald Trump. Then they can get to work of creating a true democracy, addressing the wrongs of racism, and all the systemic disadvantage that exists within. Is that a bit too much for you fellas to take on board?

Paul,

and you honestly believe all that you have just written?
Be careful and consider your answer, it will encompass your attitude and how you will be seen or regarded by others.

ALTRAV,

If "by others" you are referring to the Forums little band of rednecked racists, and how they see or regard me, they concern me not in the slightest. Why should I care what you or others think. In fact if you were to start agreeing with me, I'd want to known what I was doing wrong.

As I said why don't you try to counter the points raised in the article? Now that would be too much, to many facts for you to argue with.

Paul,

No, No, not at all.
No I am biding my time while I get my VPOD set up.
In the meantime I am not going to give the children on OLO the satisfaction of misinterpreting anything I say that will fuel their ego's and risk me getting shut down.
Knowing now, the caliber of the commentors and adjudicators, on OLO, I will keep my head down until I decide what to do when I start to focus on my new VPOD.
So carry on by all means.

Paul1405,
I know of only one racist here, you !

Read the article, but not terribly impressed - so much virtue signalling, and of course it's all the fault of 'whites' - and their 'retention' of values 'inherited' from slavery in America, and which the whites consciously or unconsciously have retained, supposedly embedded deep in the white American psyche such that it pervades and pollutes majority 'white' thinking, forcing them to automatically discriminate against every black/coloured person they encounter - if not to outright distrust and fear them! (And perhaps 'hate' them?)

Could this unconscious fear and distrust possibly be justified?

Black Americans abused, bashed and murdered by other Black Americans - by the thousands - and, nothing to see here; just business as usual - but, of course it's all whitey's fault, the Black American had no option, because whitey has left 'them' no option.

Now we see Black Americans (and various followers) rampaging in the streets (in peaceful protest, of course), destroying property, looting, abusing police and throwing bricks or Molotov cocktails at them (the 'enemy'), taking over precincts in some places - and patrolling burnishing automatic weapons.
Brilliant stuff. Eminently designed to demonstrate how responsible and trustworthy they (rampaging Black Americans) are - obviously.

Now, white businesses are worried, cowering, lest they and their products be boycotted (or their property attacked). So, the 'virtue signalling' begins - offering millions for Black education, scholarships, counseling, housing provision, and possibly even jobs.

And, the continuing protests and rampaging don't instill 'fear' in whitey, no, they only reaffirm the genuine Black conviction and belief that it's all for 'the cause', and will only act to provoke further 'virtue signalling' from philanthropic whitey?
Or, could this backfire?
Keep up the rampaging and we'll see.

John Lewis, Martin Luther King, Barack Obama and more - musicians, actors, sports men and women, Representatives, Senators, Governors, Mayors, Councillors, and more. Just lucky I guess. Sponsored by - whitey?

Certainly a lot of legitimate Black grievances, but the 'formula' being applied to rectify them can only be adjudged as severely flawed.
There can and must be a better, peaceful, more diplomatic way?

40% of US blacks are completely supported by the US taxpayers.

"African/Americans" are 13% of the US population and contribute only 2% towards taxation.

“… between 2001 and 2003, blacks were 39 times more likely to commit violent crimes against whites than the reverse, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.”

Between 2001 and 2003, blacks committed, on average, 15,400 black-on-white rapes per year, while whites averaged only 900 white-on-black rapes per year.

“Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.”

Black Americans experience 19.5 gun deaths per 100 000; whites just 2.5. Given that most gun deaths are committed by the same race as the victims, whites (rightly) conclude that they are not the main problem: blacks are 8 times more likely to be gun killers.

There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics.

Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups.

In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non¬black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.

In 2014 in New York City, a black was 31 times more likely than a white to be arrested for murder, and a Hispanic was 12.4 times more likely. For the crime of “shooting” — defined as firing a bullet that hits someone — a black was 98.4 times more likely than a white to be arrested, and a Hispanic was 23.6 times more likely.

If New York City were all white, the murder rate would drop by 91 percent, the robbery rate by 81 percent, and the shootings rate by 97 percent.

In an all¬-white Chicago, murder would decline 90 percent, rape by 81 percent, and robbery by 90 percent.

In 2015, a black person was 2.45 times more likely than a white person to be shot and killed by the police. A Hispanic person was 1.21 times more likely. These figures are well within what would be expected given race differences in crime rates and likelihood to resist arrest.

In 2015, police killings of blacks accounted for approximately 4 percent of homicides of blacks. Police killings of unarmed blacks accounted for approximately 0.6 percent of homicides of blacks. The overwhelming majority of black homicide victims (93 percent from 1980 to 2008) were killed by blacks.

In 89.5% of US black homicides the offender was African American.

The concept the USA is intuitionally racist is complete crap. The problem is that African black people have generally low intelligence and a genetic predisposition to violence much greater than other races. But white Democrat liberals depend on "the black vote" and the "Hispanic vote" to get elected, so they are quite content to slander their own race and destroy their own civilization as long as they get to sit on top of the rubble.

Psychologists have noted that people who become completely dependent upon the charity and goodwill of others for their survival tend to hate their successful benefactors. Their sense of self esteem is destroyed by being dependent and they react by despising and blaming their benefactors for their own shortcomings.
