Jon Stewart's brilliant segment on White People (1 Viewer)

[Dans La Lune]

Black people have been telling us since Fredrick Douglass what the problem is, and white people just don't listen. Instead we're like, 'Hey... why you upset? Why you anger-rapping? Why you kneeling? Why do you want police reform? Why can't you pull your community up by its boot straps?'

Also, the contrast in sympathy towards black poverty and drug use, and white poverty and drug use, is beyond the pale. The ending montage showing sports riots (trashing cities; tipping over cars; aka 'white people having a good time') and blacks protesting systemic injustice was a nice finish.

Geo "Angel Wings & Halo" Floyd....LMAO.

He has now gone 22 full months without committing a felony! Thats a new record for ol' George!! AWESOME!!

Thank you Officers, for all you do to keep society safe from dregs such as Geo Floyd.

Stewart is a very brilliant and funny man, he's an entertainer. I STRENUOUSLY DOUBT that he'll be taking his family to George Floyd Center this season to do their holiday shopping....don't you?

No sane person gives a crap about George Floyd(Jon Stewart is very sane IMO), and that is an extremely poor choice of faces to put on the Neo-"civil rights" movement.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Really pathetic the way all of those underachievers think they are owed something IMO.
I made it to about 4 minutes in, then my nausea kicked in and I had to shut it down.

Be like Barack folks....not like Li'l Wayne!! Choice is yours.

Your disgust with Black American's seems to have found a new low.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Your disgust with Black American's seems to have found a new low.

My disgust with low life career violent criminals (of any color), and my disgust at the poor dumb fools who want to finish destroying society by making the Geo Floyd's the saints and martyrs, while making the police the pariahs.

Thats why I am disgusted, all sensible people are.

Geo Floyd was a low life home invader that terrorized innocent citizens in their homes. I guarantee he has murdered people. You know what I always say: NO GREAT LOSS.

Gotta make better career choices, then you won't have your nose crunched into the pavement by the Police.

Your defense would be much more believable if you had just once trashed a white criminal. All of your preferred targets are individuals of color, or black people in general.

Without even clicking on the video, Jon Stewart is just another self-hating liberal

Thats because poor dumb fools never stop pushing the "poor oppressed black victim" narrative with these douchebags like Mr. Floyd, and always talking about how White people are evil 'racists' that are actually forcing these low life thugs to engage in their thuggish activities.

Now lets all have a pity party for Geo Floyd and Mike Brown........AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. What a loss for society. BOO ****ING HOO.

He's a brilliant guy actually, and he certainly wont be rubbing elbows over dinner with the Geo Floyds of society anytime soon I can guarantee you that LOL. No sane person would, if they could avoid it. And Stewart can avoid it.

Instead of a white comedian making jokes, how about listening to a social theorist who arrives at conclusions by actually looking at the data. For those who don't want to watch the entire video, at least watch 3:05 to 4:05 for some actual real world evidence:

 

[CaughtInThe]

his main point is pretty good.


he's saying that black people have been telling us all what the problem is dating back to the 1850s (if not before). and some people are just now going "oh, so let's talk a bit".

Yes of course blacks have gotten a raw deal in the USA historically, there is a point there and 99% of us have been fully aware of that forever, but the glorification of these idiots like Floyd and Co. has grown beyond stale.
There comes a time to leave the past behind and move forward. That time was about 50 years ago.
"Waaaa, my family doesnt have any wealth" well WELCOME TO THE CLUB, my ancestors immigrated here and came out of the coal mines of West Virginia and Kentucky, paupers ALL. Some died of black lung. So stop your whining, father your children, and take charge of your own destiny.
Be like Barack. President Obama is an excellent role model for all races of people.
You cant burn shit down and destroy stuff until you get "respect", thats not how it happens. You get respect by respecting yourself and respecting others and being respectable.
Thats it, I have nothing more to add.

 

[CaughtInThe]

i don't know where you get that %. it's certainly doesn't come from my interactions with people over 60 years here in the South.

 

[TheParser]

I have never watched Mr. S. (his show is on too late for this senior citizen).

But he is a typical silly rich liberal.

Chances are minimal that he will ever be robbed or sucker punched or looted or raped or murdered. He lives in a cocoon.

So he can afford to cry buckets of tears for people whom he says are still being mistreated.

Most ordinary non-rich folks who walk on the mean city streets or are forced to take public transportation decline to contribute to his buckets of tears.

 

[jnug]

There is no self-hating. That is an excuse to continue to ignore the obvious.

Its a racist country. Literally an apartheid country until about 1980 and once again sliding backwards today I might add.

The problem is that too few of us white people are willing to deal with it. We treat it like Climate Change...same damned nonsense.

We either say that racism is a problem we resolved a century ago or we claim a disconnect between chattel slavery, the failed reconstruction, the nationalization of the racist practices of the South, red lining, the unscrupulous use of government programs as means to stuff Black People even farther down a rathole and on and on and on it goes from the 17th century till today.

For one thing, you cannot explain the income gap favoring White High School grads over Black College grads away. Our K-12 schools are simply not that good unless you are going to a prep school and if you are a white kid going to a prep school guess what, you are not part of that equation because YOU are going on to College.

That you think the issue surrounding the George Floyd matter was his supposed glorification, then you've admitted to really having no clue.

So if the police ever suspected you of wrongdoing, you’d be cool with them killing you without trial by choking you to death, yes?

He wasnt "choked to death".
He was a low life violent career criminal that had a history of physically attacking law enforcement officers as well as private citizens in their homes during home invasions.

When the Police were called on him that day, Mr. Floyd decided that he did not want to be arrested, and he requested that he be manhandled by the Officers. As might be expected, they granted his request and crunched his nose into the pavement just exactly like he asked them to do.
Due to his extremely poor health, cardiovascular disease, and dangerous drug abuse, as well as his poor career and behavior choices, he unfortunately expired.

NO GREAT LOSS there at all Questerr, matter of fact thats what we call "addition by subtraction". Big Dumb George threw the dice out there one too many times, his number came up, and his card was punched.

Dont let this happen to YOU people!!! Stay in school, study hard, do your work, help your neighbor, stay away from gangs and drugs, stay away from crime, walk the straight and narrow and you wont become a George Floyd. Hell, you might even decide to become a Police Officer. Or an attorney. maybe a judge someday. Choice is yours!

Now they actually have a "shopping center" named after that dee-bag, unfreakingbelievable. -shaking my damn head-

What was George Floyd’s cause of death in the autopsy reports and why are you lying about it?

Other than the obvious reasons: because you hate black people and love it when the cops and other white supremacists murder them without trial.

Oh golly....did you just call me a "White supremacist" that "hates blacks"?

Man, I feel so bad now.
Whatever will I do?

Thanks for posting. Jon Stewart is brilliant. He has a series on Apple+ TV and I watch it and am a little behind on the episodes. This was released on 3/24 and is 52 minutes long. Looking foward to watching it in its entirety. Everything he said is spot on. I especially admire him for the work he does with and for our Veterans.

Considering you show up in every thread where a black man is murdered to cheer the murderers, it’s likely an accurate label.

Thomas Sowell is irresistibly attracted to Trump.

Thomas Sowell - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"..Donald Trump​

During the Republican primary of the 2016 presidential election, Sowell criticized Donald Trump, questioning whether Trump had "any principles at all, other than promoting Donald Trump?"[54] Two weeks before the 2016 presidential election, Sowell urged voters to vote for Trump over Hillary Clinton. In 2018, when asked on his thoughts of Trump's presidency, Sowell replied, "I think he's better than the previous president."[55]

In interviews in 2019, Sowell defended Trump against charges of racism.[56][57] .."

I think Thomas Sowell had no idea what he was talking about....

-snip-
January 20, 2017
"..Let’s take him at his word that he has a plan to provide “insurance for everybody” that is “much less expensive and much better,” as he said in an interview with the Washington Post.

How will he do it? Trump didn’t reveal any details, except to declare that Americans will be “beautifully covered.”

Column: Cheaper, better 'insurance for everybody'? Good luck with that

Let’s give Donald Trump, who will be sworn in Friday as the 45th president of the United States, the benefit of the doubt.
