I'd agree with that, but part of that comes from the change in the ways people can communicate. The anonymity of the internet for instance, and social media giving every idiot a voice... Traditional media have a real love/hate with the internet. Editors cannot control the message ie anti-Russia like they used to be able to. It is also cheap and easy content though, so not much time needs invested in research, fact checking etc since news is good for a day (more than it ever was in the days of "tomorrows chip wrapper") Edited June 11, 2020 by Spellczech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri Alban Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 No one is arguing about removing racist statues, but don't just pull down statues on someone's flawed mindset. We're a democracy, so let's hear the reason and facts why these statues should be removed. As for JS, we all know what he was. Hopeful we get to see who sprayed King Roberts statue. May possibly have been a unionist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See one of the problems with the left or BLM for that matter is statements that basically say if you disagree with me you're a racist or you're a facist etc. Are people not allowed to have an opinion without being on either side? It doesn't help BLM and imo plays into the people on the right who end up looking reasonable than they are. I think Trump benefits massively from this.

Do not let anyone allow a narrative of “They are all the same”, or that those who are anti-racist & anti-fascist are the problem, to gather any traction at all. Inform and educate respectfully, wherever it is needed..Decent people need to stand in solidarity with all those standing up to racism, fascism, ugly nationalism and division.

Racist is racist and there is no middle ground. The lyrics below fit perfectly ... We say "No, not in our name." It's in the things that you say and you don't say You don't know it cause you're such a ****in' cliche The way you define them & us Those you fear and those you trust You know a black guy and he's very articulate You know a Mexican and she's honest and diligent You don't see color but some people need discipline A thug is a thug, some people need to learn a lesson Your justifications, one dead give away Your qualifications, one dead give away You'd never endorse the Jim Crowe days But the malice in your voice is a God damn give away Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a check list Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a check list Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance Black lives matter and you don't know why And reverse racism isn't a real thing No you weren't alive in the time of slavery But that's no excuse to ignore its legacy Not afraid of refugees But don't want a mosque built on your street Offended by the claim of bigotry More than the racism in your face Your justifications, one dead give away Your qualifications, one dead give away You'd never endorse the Bull Connor days But the malice in your voice is a God damn give away Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a check list Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a check list Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance You fly the flag of the Confederacy You say to celebrate your history The South was fighting to save slavery To preserve and protect white supremacy Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a check list Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit Just 'cause you don't know you're racist A bigot with a check list Just 'cause you don't know you're racist You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance Just 'cause you don't know you're racist Just 'cause you don't know you're sexist Just 'cause you don't know you're fascist You don't get a pass for your ignorance Just 'cause you don't know you're racist Just 'cause you don't know you're sexist Just 'cause you don't know you're fascist You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance Submit Corrections Writer(s): Christopher Barker, Christopher Head, Justin Geever, Patrick Bollinger, Stevie Aiello AZLyrics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
