If there is anyone more disgusting than an actual racist, then it is someone who falsely accuses someone of being racist who is not a racist.
That is EXACTLY what we have here with Azar. A black man who consistently comes charging to the forefront to play the proverbial race card anytime a white man happens criticize a black man for his conduct, rather than his race, religion, etc...
Heaven forbid that a white man can cast an opinion about a black man based on CONDUCT, rather than that black man's race, and not have to come under the wrath of hate from black people. Criticize Shannon, be called a racist. Criticize Obama, be called a racist. Criticize Ali, be called a racist. Blah blah blah, yada yad yada... Same old song and dance from the same predictable posters.
It is incredible that in 2016, after all the progress our society has made after 50 years, that people cannot have well articulated DISCUSSIONS about race and race related issues without having the "racist" label slapped upon them at every turn. It is pathetic on multiple levels. Improving race relations in this country starts with people willing to TALK and LISTEN. Can we still have a conversation in America? Some of the thin skinned hypocritical liberals on this Board clearly cannot.
I'm not asking any black man to withhold his opinion about race and race related issues. Talk all you want, type all you want. I will both read and listen to ANY opinions from ANY black man about race and race related issues, anytime and any place, provided that they are both substantive and sincere. I.O.U. and I have talked about it in person; I have had similar discussions with other black posters on this Board who have PERSONALLY THANKED ME for simply taking the time to just LISTEN and try to understand a different point of view. My neighbor down the hall is a successful black man who is from central Florida and who went to UCF, where he unfortunately faced repeated racism. He has needed a long time trust white men in business, and to even open up to me as a neighbor about his experiences. But he eventually did, because I showed him I was willing to LISTEN to his opinion, offer my rebuttal opinion, and stimulate a healthy conversation. THAT is how friendships are forged between men of ANY color, and that is why I SCOFF at all this talk about all these racist accusations and this blame game on America.
But that is truly the favorite liberal play out of the liberal playbook, isn't it Azar...? Instead of formulating a well articulated reply to my thread, which was made in good faith, you went right for the cheap shot, the personal attack, the thinly veiled substantive reply. Instead of putting some intelligent thoughts down in writing so that I could reply back to you and may be even CONCEDE that you have a better point that I do, you dropped about 3-5 pieces of shit in this thread. Your replies were not roasting me- they were weak sauce shit from a weak minded man. Nothing more, nothing less.
It is truly ironic that liberals consistently champion themselves as this group of "tolerance" of other people's opinions, except when any of those different opinions conflict with liberals' point of view. Do as I say, not as I do. It is dishonesty, double standards, and divisiveness at the highest level.
Muhammad Ali was a man who refused to go into the Draft when his COUNTRY called. A man who refused to go into the Draft when CALLED UPON to serve his country cannot be considered an ALL TIME Great American. You can try to force feed me whatever "White America", "Racist America", "Privileged America" narrative you want, but that is merely an excuse in my opinion. This is still AMERICA, and we welcome change and embrace equality under the law, but blacks who consistently TRASH America to advance a self-serving "blackism" agenda over America as a whole are doing both themselves and America as a whole a MAJOR disservice. I don't agree with what Ali did, and you better believe that I have the right to exercise that opinion. I have provided more than enough substance to back that up. Now, if you have a problem with that opinion, then bring something more to the table than the same old self-serving racist commentary bullshit. It's laughable.
As a final FACT for you and your liberals here to consider before you get into your circle jerk, hold hands, and unload again in this thread, Ali was a member of the Nation of Islam- you know, the SAME Nation of Islam whici is a leftist RADICAL group who treat Jews like they're the Devil and think the Jews have no claim to Israel. Ali was a member of THAT group and influenced heavily by them. I guess "Jew Lives" don't matter that much to certain people. Nation of Islam, the SAME group who has SUPPORTED Black Lives Matter, a RACIST piece of shit domestic terrorist organization. So, you talk about "SHAMEFUL AMERICA", far left liberalism, Nation of Islam, and Black Lives Matter have brought AS MUCH SHAME to America has the white supremacists who sought to suppress the civil rights of blacks in the 1960's during the Civil Rights Movement...
But you don't want to talk about any of this though in a real intellectual discussion, do you- it is much easier to live in a delusional world that blames "White America", "White Privilege", and "White Power" on every single shortcoming of every single black man in America, instead of focusing on SELF-ACCOUNTABILITY. In the 1960's, black men had GREAT LEADERS in the 1950's and 1960's such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Medgar Evars, and Jackie Robinson. These people EMPOWERED black people at a time that America as a whole was struggling to afford black racial equality under the law after the United States Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education.
Now, in 2016, who are the black leaders of the black community...? We have the black community hanging its hat on Jesse Jackson (a fraud and tax evader), rappers who rap about raping white women and killing law enforcement, and Black Lives Matter which is a RACIST domestic terrorist organization advocating for violence and death against law enforcement. Americans as a whole don't have as much sympathy right now for the black community the way it did back in the 1960's because of the divisiveness, racial tensions, and demogagery that the Obama Administration, Black Lives Matter, and Rappers have created over the last 8 years. This isn't the same fight as it was 50 years ago. Today is about an Obama administration which has WEAKENED blacks across America by putting MORE blacks on entitlement, MORE blacks out of the labor force, and DIVIDING (not uniting) America along racial lines. You know who suffers when illegal immigrants run rampant throughout this country unchecked? LEGAL minorities (including blacks), because their jobs are being taken. You know who suffers when the far left liberals cast hate on law enforcement? BLACKS, because law enforcement are reluctant to go into poor neighborhoods to help protect innocent blacks from other blacks. You know who suffers from over gun control, like we see in flaming far left liberal cities like New York, San Francisco, and Chicago? Blacks. So don't give me this hogwash hogshit white supremacy bullshit all Republicans are the devil blah blah blah... Republicans actually do MORE for blacks than black will EVER realize, because the far left liberals pander and spoon feed the black community bullshit after bullshit after bullshit to get their vote. How is the average black man doing EIGHT YEARS after Obama?
Black people in America are perfectly capable of being the best Americans this country can offer, but it starts with the black community getting ITS COLLECTIVE HOUSE in order FIRST instead of spending all of this time blaming "White America", "White Privilege", "White Power" and all of this other red herring nonsense that far left liberal race agitators want to throw out there. You completely fail at cause and effect when it comes to race relations in this country.
