The people in-favor of removing statues is more about destroying the false history of the US.

False history? Personally, a nation’s history may have ugly parts that may not reflect who we are today, but it’s still out history and have shaped who we are today. Yeah, there are irrational folks that choose to bury their heads in the sand and believe what they were brainwashed to believe.

Really; what is America today?
The republic is gone, the races don't get along, mass civil unrest and unemployment, the rich almost owns everything, fascist police are held unaccountable, runaway national debt and deficits, both political parties don't represent the people, erosion of personal rights and liberties, and a bankrupt Covid-19 infected geopolitical-military machine still hell bent on conquering the World.
Is this the America you are talking about?

America today is what it is today. It’s not going to magically turn into your pipe dream vision of what it should be just because you hate America.
Personally, I think people get along just fine. It’s hateful people like you that overreact to MSM garbage that the sky is falling. Are things in a good state? No, but not the state of your irrational blathering...

What you talking about, I loved the American republic. I hate the American empire.

Talk about being blind to American history.
You must be the one who is not living in reality and in some fantasy World.

Irrational blathering to your limited view of things.
My views are not shaped by any MSM, the Democrats, Republicans, or anyone for that matter.
As a political atheist, I tell it how I see it, independent from any establishment.

I would say the ideals of the American Republic has gotten twisted and manipulated for the few at the cost of the many. American empire or imperialism? Yeah, I can see that, but you take it to the extreme.
You tell it like you see it? And you’re always right? Kuleana establishes his “position based on analysis” and that is fact. You know what you know and don’t want to be confused by fact, at least when they are counter to your personal propaganda. Talk about narrow view. You go on and on about half truths but constantly post examples only of police brutality but refuse to recognize cases of police empathy and compassion, never mind that they have a right to defend themselves.

Why does a certain someone have to make every topic about himself and his beliefs, regurgitating the same stuff ad nauseam?

Culture is what matters to me.
I dislike Black culture, as it exists today.
I dislike Liberal "Karen" culture.
That describes most Democrats.
I love America. I despise Democrats.
That is all.

I never said I had all the facts like a certain someone else who likes to think he does.

Personal propaganda?
Police brutality is real, police corruption on all levels is real, police resorting to deadly force without being held accountable to their actions is real. Where is the propaganda? If there is any propaganda, it is those glorifying police actions of empathy and compassion that is already what is expected of them, in order to hide the dirty illegal secrets that many police departments share.
Isn't that what career politicians do? Raise awareness of things that they are paid to do and make it sound like they are doing everyone a favor and get public notoriety.

So says the defender of the 1st Amendment.
Seems your version of free speech does not include the right of rebuttal. Unlike you, I do not COMMAND others from sharing views that is different from my own no matter what it is.
What you want are blind patriotic stooges to mindlessly follow you down a rabbit hole and parrot your narrow views of the establishment, instead of entertaining opposing views to get a more balanced understanding of the issues, in order to really solve them.
You don't want real change because you are one of those that in your heart does not see any problem with America. You want status quo and there lies the problem.

I actually like reading you and Flapp's back and forth.
Keep it up!
In the real America,
My daughter bought new rifles for the upcoming deer and elk seasons
in the fall.
My SIL had to buy a new gun safe as his old one is full,
many in his safe are mine.
They didn't have to get permission from Hawaiian cops to purchase.
Nor do they have to register the guns with Hawaiian government.
I distrust ANY government that a Hawaiian dreams up.
I despise ANY government or government agency that a Democrat
has created.
Aloha.

IRT Kuleana....Same bullshit, different day.....

I actually heard an interesting take that the reason the radical leftists are destroying statues is that they are losing. A tiny minority of extremely vocal people terrorized pretty much every industry with "cancel culture" and now the silent majority has gotten fed up with them. Not calling the riots riots was a step too far, and as a result their media mouthpieces are being ignored, slashing their propagandist workforce who thought they would have job security forever by selling out their journalistic integrity. The result is the collapse of the left and now they are trying to erase history in a desperate attempt to cover up their failure. When nobody takes them seriously any more some of them will probably convert to one of the more intolerant branches of Islam where it is culturally acceptable to force their opinions on everyone else.

I miss the days when we periodically did this face to face.
Inspector’s send off was the last one we had.
No one at that cookout was afraid to voice their opinion and it was still all good.

People tend to talk $hit more when it’s anonymous. I’m not like that at all. I would say anyone who has met me would say the same. I’m straight up.
I will say that I am a lot more understanding of people after I meet them. Like you, I know you like your “iced tea”, but deep down are cool.

I read reports of where BLM made “murals” on national monuments, but then were restored. Then BLM claimed “defacing” of their monuments. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Twisted view of reality. I think one here would claim that BLM was in the right... ::)

I see black millionaires, billionaires, celebrities, sports stars...how is that so with racism? If anything theres no repping much in the NFL or NBA by Asians.

There was a legitimate grass roots movement focused on legitimate complaints of systemic inequality at one point but now it has been clearly hacked by Soros cash and has morphed into just another deep state sponsored color revolution.

It was an awesome day. Just wish I had made it out to the shooting portion.
I'm down for all mentioned above, as well as a red dot handgun day. I am in for rimfire too, but my contribution to firearms to shoot won't be much though. . . :( It would be a good excuse to get a 22 rifle, but looks like that would take me months to get it registered. . .

That practice is centuries old, including Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great and so on. Russian Czars not only tore down statues and monuments, but they even went so far as to murder the former leader, his government and military leaders, and often their families.
These tactics have but one purpose: to wipe the cultural slate in favor of their own ideology. When the people lose the reminders of their history, they become less resistant.
Imagine if the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were to be burned, as well as all copies, references in books or the Internet and laws that cite them. Those documents and reference material teach future generations about the foundations this country was built upon. Without them, it would be much easier to fill the void with alternative doctrines.
-
The movie Stargate comes to mind in the elimination of history. Eliminate the monuments, outlaw documentation of history, and keeping the population generally illiterate and therefore more susceptible to propaganda. Lots of what I believe have occurred in many cultures throughout history. That formed my opinion of the importance of history of America, or any other country/culture, good or bad.
-

Black Rifles are always being targeted by lawmakers on the US. Black Rifles Matter. . .

-
even the Sphinx in Egypt they now say was changed from its original form thousands of years ago and may be much older than originally thought
-
Relative to most countries in world history, the US is still extremely young, and therefore has a shorter historical record.
Having said that, we also have one of the most impressive records in history, too. Not perfect, and not as immaculate as we'd like, but the pluses far out weigh the negatives.
Trying to erase history now will be easier for the anarchists than it will be another 100-200 years from now. Most dictators who have their histories eradicated were only in power for a single adult lifetime. The next dictator only has a few decades to erase at most.

If you've never eaten at a Cracker Barrel, you don't know what you're missing. :thumbsup:
Next time you see one on the mainland, make an effort to stop in.
Trigger warning: There is no SPAM or Saimin on the menu! :rofl:
I doubt you'll find rice as well.

I have never "enjoyed" eating at a Cracka Barrel. I've actually been interested in trying. From my buddies in areas like TX, TN, MI, etc have all said don't bother. They aren't foodie experts, so maybe they are just ignorant. Haha
I'm good with "no local food" menus. I actually enjoy the change.

I grew up eating that kind of cuisine: Southern style. So did most of the people growing up in that part of the country. Cracker Barrel is like going back in time to when Grandma cooked for the whole family on Sunday.
All depends on what floats your boat. As they say, "There's no accounting for taste."

I like southern cooking. Or at least most of it. Not healthy and can't eat it often, but I enjoy it. Loved my trip to TX and roadtrip to LA for work and the food along the way.

Been there, done that.
Mostly "comfort food" like Grandma's Sunday dinner, but of course, there's no comparison.

not the most popular guy on YouTube but he makes some good points in this vid
its politics.
after the elections, no matter who wins, BLM will go away for a while. bc its primarily about politics
you cant legislate racial equality. it has to be done with culture, and that change doesn't occur overnight

At the moment the whole issue of actual black lives has been lost, and average Americans who were sympathetic to the cause are now completely turned off by a violent treasonous attempt by the oligarchs to make Trump look bad. I am very much looking forward to the coming investigations that will drag these deep state critters out of the swamp and into the sunlight.
-
I think if you are strongly pro Trump, or strongly anti-Trump, it doesn't matter wtf happens. nothing will change your mind
BLM movement is to get the blacks and minorities to vote against Trump. get the swing vote
most of us here already have our minds made up. and most of the left wing people i know hate Trump and they are voting against him no matter what
its the others that dont know yet who they will vote for, that the BLM movement is hoping to swing in favor of Sleepy Joe
or even the mayoral race or governors race or any other race will benefit/not benefit from the BLM movement
its race baited politics aimed at sheep
-
BLM in general is flat out BS. Quoting from New Jack City, when "you're killing your own people", need to start with that first. Not saying any particular race or ethnicity is better or worse, but that dynamic seems to stand out the most with African Americans. The crab in the bucket analogy. When "black culture" flaunts and embraces those who live the "thug life", but then turn around and are surprised at the repercussions of teaching the next generation to idolize those types is truly ::)

Crabs in a bucket is actually an apt analogy, but not in the way you think. In nature crabs fight but usually it is live and let live, because cruising around the ocean floor looking for snacks is a way more productive and enjoyable use of their time than clawing each other to death in a mad scramble for survival. The negative traits of the crab come out when they are in the bucket, but to say that they are terrible animals is making a value judgement based on artificial circumstances.
Systemic racism is very real, and the whole point is to create a permanent underclass which can be very useful in order to foster a divite-et-impera dynamic. Look at Kuleana and Flapp. Even if they are the same person he is living out a script that was written by the Romans over 2000 years ago. The most efficient prison is always the mind of the prisoner.
-
Why don't you tell that to the guy who wants the address to my house below.
Ok this is getting ridiculous....
I would love to meet up with you over a beer or whatever and discuss things. I never intended my reply to be taken the way it was. I was actually joking. For that you have my apology. It frustrates me that there seems to be no middle ground, always a tit for tat atmosphere. My philosophy is opinions are like rectums, everybody has one. From now on I’ll agree to disagree And hopefully you’ll be able to do the same. ;)

I didn't say, nor do I think that anyone are terrible animals. . . Yeah, your example of the artificial circumstances is actually what I was thinking about, but essentially came from examples of African American friends of mine from college and how talk about how some of their friends they seem to attack those who have risen up and made something of themselves by those who are happy to sit in the bucket and not try. Not saying that "they" are all like that. Michael Vick is an example of that. But also opposite side of the coin that it's the talk about the white man always bringing the black man down. Anyways cool that you seem to know how everyone thinks. . .
Regarding systemic racism, I do think it's real. I just think it very much exists within a given race or ethnicity, and not just between races or ethnicity. Just my opinion. Just like my opinions about the reasons why the "haves" need a middle class to buffer themselves from the "permanent underclass". Just my opinion and largely from others who have shared that, but it makes the most sense to me after my personal look at information. Not saying i'm right and am very much open to other opinions, just that I don't spend a whole lot of time reading or researching it.

It frustrates me that there seems to be no middle ground, always a tit for tat atmosphere. My philosophy is opinions are like rectums, everybody has one. From now on I’ll agree to disagree And hopefully you’ll be able to do the same. ;)
You have my sincerest apology. I did not know the true meaning of your comment and I responded very immaturely.
I am embarrassed of what transpired and will never doubt your intentions ever again. :shaka:

It's about destroying the history, and as a result the foundation, of the United States.

There are some statues that should be removed but in all the fervor a bunch of idiots who don't know history are showing their ignorance and destroying statues of people who furthered the cause of black rights in America.

"Should be removed" ... because some mob decides? Or because you think so?
The people who live in those communities should decide based on discussion and votes, not because people who don't live there think it's their job to force others to live by their beliefs.
I thought you were FOR Democracy?

I didn't say, nor do I think that anyone are terrible animals. . .
Sometimes when I see someone doing a social justice freakout it makes me want to say something racist even though I do not really believe it. Not like a raging Karen n-bombing, just a little off color joke or comment to push back against a bully who cares more about forcing their will on other people than they supposedly care about the issue that got them upset in the first place.
Instead I try to remind myself that arguing with the mentally ill is pointless and cruel. They are suffering enough already and engaging them more than necessary only feeds their psychosis and makes me look like a dick.
Also there is still a real issue out there somewhere that is not being sufficiently addressed.

My mother taught me that using profanity, including racial slurs, is a sign of ignorance. If you can't think of anything more appropriate to say, then it indicates you have a limited vocabulary.
I was a really quiet kid growing up ... :D
I never "feel" like using racial slurs, because I was never taught to use them -- in fact, just the opposite.
I guess being raised in a very densely black community helped. You either avoid people different from yourself, or you learn to treat them like you want to be treated. As far as I could tell, skin color was the last thing I had to worry about. Bad people come in all colors, as do good people who just occasionally do bad things.
I've noticed the movies and music nowadays are full of things I would have never said around my house. That kind of exposure (bombardment?) of bad language teaches everyone, especially the young, really bad habits. Most of the time they aren't even aware they are doing it because everyone they hang out with talks the same way.
It's the "mouth like a sailor" syndrome. Sailors go out to sea for 6 months and come back using some form of "F#ck" every other word. It takes time and recognizing they are doing it to change the habit. It's why cussin' cups in offices work. Gotta get everyone policing our language to show us just how often we use it without even thinking.
I often grin when I hear celebs talk about BLM, then think about the movies or songs they've put out displaying the exact thing they tell us not to do. But, it's "just show business", right?

Sometimes a response "in-kind" is the most appropriate. Like your example of an irrational Karen (made me lol actually) I think sometimes it warrants throwing things back in her/him/its face.
I do think systemic racism is a real issue. I guess I am more taking an "outside observer" approach on the issue. I've been told that makes me "part of the problem" that I'm not taking a harder stance to fight against racism. Well, so be it then. . .

That is probably coming from someone who sees themself as "part of the solution" and busily paving the way to hell with their good intentions.

Yeah!
Other than people shooting at each other or hacking each other
with sharp weapons, most our local social problems are cultural
or tribal.
Not racial.
What is the fix?
There isn't one.
What there is is the Constitution.
By whatever means
the Constitution as written
is the rules.
That is all.

I’m glad he did that. People need to see what we are dealing with here, and it’s not just some misunderstood protesters who got a little out of hand.

Seriously, a friend of mine would return from deployment and was physically incapable of speech that didn't kick up a blue storm cloud around his head!
Even when he was just trying to think of what to say next, he was using "Fck" as a filler -- the way most of us use "Um" and "Uh".
Someone started a Cussin' Cup in his duty section. Every payday, he had to run to the ATM to pay off his stack of IOUs. :rofl:

Believe me,I can relate... I was in the “old navy” and cussing was a requirement to make chief :D I retired as a senior chief so you can imagine how much cussing I was doing! ::)

In my opinion. Pretty obvious because it is inherently a matter of opinion.
The people who live in those communities should decide based on discussion and votes, not because people who don't live there think it's their job to force others to live by their beliefs.

Strawman.

Halloween is almost as big a money-maker for retailers now as Christmas.
Not surprising so many of these Leftists love to dress up in costumes and play trick-or-treat (treat = looting, trick = arson, assault, vandalism, ...).
Kind of reminds me of the Chicago "Devil's Night" activities in the movie, "The Crow". Just an excuse for criminal behavior while in disguise and with no other rationale than "I wanted to".
