    Gravitas hatred might be a little heavy handed. This is hatred but once again explore at your own risk and no I’m not affiliated with white power but this is hatred.

    Well, that's my choice words.
    I'm an Artist and a writer, I tend to use words with
    emphasis and they tend towards the dramatic.

    The Turner Diaries is hatred just google it. The guy is a crappy writer so read a summary but look up the author and that is used as a loose term because it’s in my top ten worst fictional books of all time. But these groups are why the Southern Poverty Law Center exists. It’s scary seeing their influences on Ruby Ridge etc.

    I'll look it up.
    Thanks for the recommendation.
    One moment.

    I looked up the blurb, oh wow.
    That is blatant hatred.

    What I was referring to is 'self hatred' and this is the thing
    I can also detect where it is coming from hence why
    I mentioned in my earlier comment about my stereotyping.
    Officer Tatum is repeating what is being said in his environment
    and a lot of what he is saying stems from the very ideology
    that The Turner Diaries summary depicts and that is being promoted.

    And just to clarify things just because I have read Sol Alinsky doesn’t make me a communist or a member of Antifa. Right now where I live I have access to information.

    I'm not bothered about any affiliations as long as they are non violent.

    Good to know that you have access to information.

    I’m not going to go that far (unless someone explicitly says they do), but I do find some of these responses quite shocking and disappointing.

    No not at all.

    Certainly not cancel him.

    It's important that we hear what he has to say whether we agree or not.
    Some of what he said was true but the context was inaccurate.
    That's all.

    If this thread is going to continue, you may as well just spell out what you believe is inaccurate and why. He cited numerous historical facts which have largely been ignored or wallpapered over by the media, the government and by special interest groups.

  • edited June 2021

    He is ignorant of the facts. There is no debate about what happened in Tulsa in 1921; a random guy who posts a cellphone video on youtube is welcome to guess about what he surmised “really happened” in Tulsa, but we don’t have to give it any credence.

    It’s as vulgar as the rantings of a Holocaust denialist. And the “just asking questions” crowd knows this, but for some reason it’s important to them to cast doubt over what was meant to be a memorial of a tragedy.

    By the way: “critical race theory” doesn’t really exist in the academy. It’s a Fox News creation.

  • Gravitas I can watch CNN or FOX news all day long and it’s the same propaganda. I trust and watch Al Jezeera or RT over my USA new networks but I read most of my news and occasionally look at the cartoons and maybe a crossword even thought I suck at crossword puzzles.

    For those that mentioned the Watchmen tv series, kudos and it tied in to the comic with Hooded Justice. Just brilliant and no disrespect to Alan Moore because he has great disdain for adaptations and new material based on his creations.

    For an alternative opinion on the subject.

    Watch it at your own risk I just saw and still don’t know how to process it…like the time I read ‘A People’s History of the United States’.

    I’m not affiliated with the person who made the content so please don’t direct your complaints or praise at me. I don’t know what to think of it.

    Sickened. Such a sadness.

    “I watched a couple of videos about Tulsa.. I did a little research”. What a scholar. But he’s right about the origins of Tulsa. What he misses in his analysis is “measured response”. We’re fortunate he’s not the Secretary of State. The efforts of BLM may go astray, but in no way does it counter the Trail Of Tears blacks have endured. I’d say blacks have been pretty restrained in their responses.

    Agreed.

    This is a man who nitpicks history to serve his own sense of self. I guess he has not been a victim of voting or employment/education discrimination or police brutality.

    He says 96% of whites didn’t own slaves... I heard an interviewer talkin to a MAGA guy... he said his family difn’t own slaves... they couldn’t afford them! This fellow is self sabotaging his own best interests. “Logical” thinking is not always very logical. Wise people see the inconsistencies but also grasp, and even use it for the greater good. This is a microscopic thinker.

    I'm typing this whilst I'm listening.

    He doesn't realise that he already has been a victim of voting
    or employment or education or discrimination.
    It shows in his rhetoric, forgive me for saying this, especially his education.

    Oh my good gosh.

    Self hatred is so sad.

    He doesn't even realise that in the times of the Tulsa Massacre,
    the BLM movement didn't exist.

    I will agreed black men did hold slaves.
    It's a difficult thing to acknowledge along the lines of
    how African's sold slaves to the Europeans.

    I did the soundtrack for a documentary for
    PBS and the BBC in that regards back in the 90's
    when black historians in the Cote D'Ivorie
    stated that Africans sold Africans into slavery because
    some were prisoners of War and some were because of trade.
    Quite controversial at the time.
    Regardless that's anecdotal.

    Black slave ownership was a way to manage slaves.

    It provided a structure.

    Masters
    Slave masters benefited by having access to women, wealth and weapons.
    The slave masters could speak the same languages as the slaves.
    Slaves

    Now, I'm speaking as a black person.

    This is the main reason why black people fail.
    It's because individuals in searching for acceptance start
    to repeat the rhetoric that pleases their environment.

    This speaker is also hating upon his own people and culture.
    He is demonising his own people, he refers to them as dogs
    and something that many racists say which is b!!!!!!ds.
    I'm using the expletive, the speaker in this video used illegitimate,
    I've heard that phrase quite often here in the U.K.

    That's so pitiful.

    Wow.

    This is so sad.

    I will agree there are good people and bad people.
    No argument there.

    Still, it's his reality and his beliefs.
    Same as mine or anyone else.

    My problem is I hear hatred in his rhetoric.
    I don't hear love.

    What Officer Tatum said sounded pretty mild to me. So, his own research led to him to some conclusions which contradict what he was taught. That’s what a free person does. They review the available evidence and reach a conclusion. As a police officer, he may be more adept at investigating facts. Yes, it’s not unusual to debate historical events, especially events none of us are old enough to have been witness to, and the “facts” surrounding any historical event are subject to change if new facts are presented.

    From my point of view, it’s belittling to accuse him of “hating upon his own people and culture”. That just looks incredibly disrespectful of him as an individual.

    It is our duty, as @McD eloquently put in his yearning for agape (which is spot on), to call out hatred. Again, calling human beings “dogs” is an attack on the dignity of the human person. To call that out is not a disrespect of the speaker, it is to point out his own disrespect, in this case, of his own people.

    I judge him as an individual. Not as a member of a “people”. I find comments lumping this man in with an identity group very troubling. It diminishes him as an individual and treats him as if he has no right to an opinion. That is disrespectful.

    And here’s the “both sides” test applied to what you wrote: If this officer was ‘white’ would you have written the exact same thing about him?

    On the contrary - this is not about lumping someone in with an identity group. Truth is the truth no matter who speaks it. If he was ‘white,’ it would still obtain that he is attacking the dignity of the human person. Words change reality.

    It’s absolutely about lumping someone in with an identity group. He voiced his own opinion and the answer here was that he should act like “his people” (in so many words). That is very troubling.

    I agree with you. It is a troubling sentiment to demand someone act in accordance to a racial group.

    The problem is that is not what was said here. What was said is a far cry from “he should act like his people,” and in fact again resembles truth. We should not speak according to our environment, to cater or appease to the prevailing thought. We should speak the truth, no matter how unpopular, or how many people agree or disagree.

  • That guy is entitled to his opinion and doesn't seem to know what Critical Race Theory is. It isn't something opposed to the notion that people should be judged for who they are.

    It is simply a view that racism has shaped many aspects of history and public policy which has been ignored by many (mostly white) historians. It is an attempt to correct that omission (particularly important in the U.S. where so many laws are informed by our history with slavery) by including historical racism in the writing and teaching of history. [Note: an awful of Americans didn't even learn that the South seceded over slavery when they learned American history in school.] It is a matter of historical record that much public policy has been informed by racism and yet little of that record has made it into history curricula. What is called Critical Race Theory by many is an attempt to fix that.

  • @Neum, by his own admission he only watched a couple of videos. I posit many here are far better informed than this fellow and with more reasoned conclusions... not stringing a few “facts” together and drawing a conclusion he, himself, agrees with. Even if the history of blacks and indigenous peoples is only 50% true, it is still beyond horrific and something I personally would not want to experience and wish to see changed... just as Johnson, a warmonger, ironically, did in the 60s. People must struggle for such change, just as there is a struggle here in this country (and many others) for the privilege of democracy itself.

    As far as groups and individuals, obviously both have their place. It is unlikely we would even be discussing blacks, America, the Constitution, if a group did not fight a war to have a separate nation. Ask individuals at the time and a great many weren’t interested in the great experiment of democracy. Just as we are seeing many are no longer interested in that experiment, which I consider just, today.

    From the wiki page…

    White privilege

    White privilege is the set of social advantages, benefits, and courtesies that come with being a member of the dominant race (i.e. white people). For example, a shop attendant not following a white person around in a store because of assumption of shoplifting is viewed as white privilege. Another example would be people not crossing the street at night to avoid a white person.[36]

    Cheryl I. Harris and Gloria Ladson-Billings describe a notion of whiteness as property, whereby whiteness is the ultimate property that whites alone can possess; valuable just like property. In this sense, from the critical race theory perspective, the white skin that some Americans possess is akin to owning a piece of property, in that it grants privileges to the owner that a renter (in this case, a person of color) would not be afforded.[37] The property functions of whiteness—i.e., rights to disposition; rights to use and enjoyment, reputation, and status property; and the absolute right to property—make the American dream more likely and attainable for whites.

  • Linear Lineman good points. But what anyone referenced or even the forum is nothing but opinion.

    But in the meantime be good to your fellow man, express your opinion and have mucho agape with you the world and those around you. Love and respect is better than the alternative and one more reference it’s a short read and it gives me hope. Words from a dead man.

    Critical race theory is an esoteric academic discipline that has not had much real world application outside of being a racist Fox News dog whistle. I can virtually guarantee that no one on this board had ever even heard of it a year ago. As proved by this Google Trend chart which shows the emergence of the CRT panic — exactly one week after the publication of the NYT's 1619 Project.

    Critical race theory's value lies in its methods of interrogating systemic racism. And it has also proved valuable in derailing any discussion about race, like a thoughtful thread meant to come to terms with a racist tragedy in Tulsa.

    What is the evidence supporting those claims? You claim it’s valuable because of its methods? How? And what proof do you have of systemic racism?

    If one has a worldview in which everything and everyone is racist by default, then that’s an admission by proponents of that theory that they are racist and that racism is normal and unavoidable. That sounds an awful lot like repackaged Nazism.

  • Appalling. Good night. You must be proud to have derailed a thoughtful examination of an American tragedy.

  • Racism exists! no doubt about it —-but Institutional or Systematic Racism is not in evidenced in my world,—this left wing ,post-modernists ,with equity rather than equality,Biden EO.iffy!

  • @NeuM: you wrote " And what proof do you have of systemic racism?"

    I would like to better understand where you are coming from. Are you suggesting that there is not systemic racism in the U.S. and that systemic racism was not a significant factor in the past that continues to have consequences?

  • @NeuM, systemic racism does not mean everyone in the system is racist. That’s a red herring. It means the system covers up or rationalizes the racist behavior in its midst. It is in no way a repackaging of Naziism. This is like Trump transmogrifying his “Big Lie” into the “Big Lie” being the 2020 election.

    It seems rather unlikely that any discussion or POV can justify even a small percentage of the actual hate crimes committed in the US. Exactly what would make you feel at peace with this issue? On a feeling level, what is it that upsets you about many people... millions in fact, that have come to the conclusion, either by personal experience, the injury or death of a family or community member, the burning of a church with people in it, seeing murder(s) on tv, extensive reading and evaluation, exploitation, unequal education, hate talk online, etc, that not all Americans are treated equally.

    What would it mean if you acknowledged that, discrimination, violence and hatred is a reality millions live with? I am not baiting you. I just want to understand the underpinnings of your conclusions. Is it intellectual? Do you actually believe that these injustices are not happening? It is not hard to find solid information to the contrary.

    Or is it that you feel if we suffer from the hand of another it is our own fault... as Tatum seems to be saying. I don’t imagine you have ever harmed anyone, and perhaps you have not been mistreated or harmed yourself. Me neither. That is, IMO, not a good place to judge another’s hardship. After all, even one experience can change a person’s life forever. For great numbers of oppressed people each day is a new onslaught.

    This seems like a reasonable approach to me... take the promoted horrors of a particular injustice and divide by ten. If 600,000 Jews died in the Holocaust would it be insignificant? (Coincidentally the number of COVID deaths in the US after 16 months)

    If the disproportionate violence, murder, imprisonment, injury, humiliation, profiling, housing discrimination, done to blacks (or Asians, or Latinos, or Muslims) compared to those born under the shelter of a white (tho albeit, pasty) skin is significant... even at 10% of the “propagandist’s” total... if that number causes concern to a reasonable mind.... should we not allow that this is likely a reality for too many people? That is, if you hold to the principle that we are all equal.

    If each person is a universe unto himself, what is the allowable number of deaths and injuries to any group because of hatred that is acceptable? I posit that not one is acceptable.
