We are going to be fighting with Democrats over our (American) freedom and national sovereignty this time around. You f-d up. You haven't be listening. You must like cults. Did you like cults? I ask because you are associated with a Marxist cult that is similar to the Marxist Nazi cult? Are you ready to feel what it was like to be associated with them? So, when did the KKK get darker Bob? Are you going to be foolish enough to give them a pass? Why would a free American like yourself go along with their racist views and give them a pass?

Again, the rural racist faction was fighting for continued slavery in the US Civil War.  That faction moved to the Republicans when LBJ allied with MLK in the last awakening to get the black vote.  Nixon respond with the southern strategy  The two parties over the years switched position on race.  I am tired of the conservative posters pretending to be ignorant of the history, to have never heard of the southern strategy.  If so, what are they doing on a history oriented site?

Looking at the Chauvin trial, people seem to be looking at it from two opposing angles.  One will say systematic racism is the problem, there are too many bad cops who will murder on a whim, and it has been that way since the slave ships started coming.  Others say that it is the ghetto mindset that is the problem, assume all minorities have the ghetto mindset, and so long as minorities exist that are not subdued by a surplus of law and order you will have a conflict.  Whites are supposed to be supreme.

Well, there were four guys on George Floyd.  None of them acted.  From across the country that makes the ratio four bad cops to zero good ones.  The original police report had Floyd with a preexisting condition.  He died not due to the knee to the neck, but of the preexisting condition.  The police as a whole recognized and blessed the bad cop’s version of what they wanted to present to the public.  You just can’t do that when there is a video showing reality.

Lately watching a broadcast from Brooklyn Center, there were bad cops and supposedly good cops in the police station, violent protesters exchanging projectiles with them, non violent protesters letting their position be known, and looters looting.  The primary lesson I learned was that while the violent protesters were being violent, they were providing an excuse for the cops not to do their job.  They were all bad cops.  The zero good cops in that part of the world was confirmed.  At the same, the violent protesters were providing a non productive cover for the bad cops not to do their jobs.

And that seems to be the red blue divide.  You blame the systematic racism or you blame the minorities.  While I see the systematic racism the more significant problem, both sides have room to grow.  If the ghetto mindset grows out of believing you have to be a drug pusher, a star athlete or a welfare mom to succeed, as long as systematic racism makes it impossible for blacks to join society and be a success the ghetto mindset is far too true.

The other distinction is that the blue want to solve the problem, while the red wants things to remain the same.  The progressives come up on top traditionally in a crisis.  Just ask the rural racist faction of the US Civil War.  Violence and oppression can only get you so far, not far enough to fight progress.

The Marxists are obsessed with capitol being the problem.  Neither US party feels that problem enough to solve it completely just now.  The Nazi were into tribal thinking, celebrating the aryan superman, blaming the Jews, Slavs, homosexuals and others, and using violence to enforce what they saw at truth.  The Republicans are using a tribal thinking racist approach too, though they aren’t invading with armies as they did last crisis.

So I am not associated with them.  The KKK is not getting darker, but is yielding as the culture improves somewhat over the years.  This is time for the KKK to diminish further.  They essentially vanished when their feeble attempts at protest was dwarfed by the start of the George Floyd protests.

As you have defined Acirema as the opposite of America, you have defined msicar as the opposite of racism.  If one aspect of racism is keeping minorities away from jobs of influence and wealth, just look at the difference between Trump’s white male cabinet and Biden’s mixed cabinet to see which is the truly racist group.

The two major issues this crisis seem to be COVID and systematic racism.  Trump was willing to solve neither problem, but wanted existing problems to remain.  Division and hatred was his thing.  That alone says a good deal about the driving ideals of the crisis, and which will end up on top.
