They say they are anti fascist but the thing is, like I said it doesn’t exist in this country. These are younger adults that just wanna lash out and be violent to be violent. They wear masks because they are cowards. Professors even participated at Berkeley when those protests happened. Here’s in Portland when trump became president and there was no protest to counter they showed up and destroyed shit. They are pure anarchists. That’s it
Nah. I don't think I'll do that. I do recall seeing you here a lot in the past. If that's not the case any longer, then my bad.
They are a reaction of A) An Election they do not agree with. A lot of these people are the same ones that protested against Trump. B) Were part of and are sympathetic to the occupy movement. C) Many have been organized by and often were paid by the far left. D) Have been treated as media darlings that have an anti Trump agenda. E) The "fascists" they are against are anyone that has a difference of opinion.
I’m just saying I haven’t been here for a while or even post because it’s a revolving door of libs mostly sitting here talking about how much they hate trump and after a while it’s like okay I get it. Shit even the conservatives here gave up on posting, they were tired of it too. Bunch of non news story mostly so there is no reason to comment. I used to post more here and it wasn’t pointless because even though I’m not conservative I get treated like one and told I’m this and that. People don’t wanna listen to what you have to say here unless you support the echo chamber of thoughts.
Oh, and for the rest of you reading/participating in this thread, I'd love to see proof that any of the left leaning members of this board said they support Antifa. From what I recall, Antifa has been unanimously denounced by everyone on this site, no matter political leaning. So I'm not sure what the point here is.
When I grew up in 50s Oswego, Oregon, everyone hated everyone who wasn't a WASP. We hated African-Americans the most, then came Jews, then came Asians, then came Mexicans, then came Krauts, then came WAPs, aka Italians, and finally came Catholics. Thank God if you were in one of those groups that you didn't live in Oswego then. I've returned to an area that was in the old Oswego and I see an African-American about three or four times a year in this city. I live across the street from Lakeridge High School's athletic fields and I've never seen an African-American in any of the sports teams, not even among the fans. I can only conclude that the local residents make them feel unwelcome also we have high home prices. You will never see an African-American at the Oswego Country Club private golf course or at the Oswego Hunt Club, a horse riding stable and club. I don't even see any in my church, which really disappoints me because our clergy would welcome them with open arms. Extremely rarely see an African-American in a grocery store around here. When it comes to people who are disliked, African-Americans are always at the bottom of the barrel. Decent folk have work to do.
I don’t have a point. I don’t have a side. They are both shit. It’s just frustrating when somebody tries to say antifa spawned from denouncing the kkk and racists. That’s not true.
The violent part is denounced by me. My point was that they are the result of a root problem that lies mostly with KKK, Nazis and White Supremacists. Can't you see that the KKK, Nazis and White Supremacists are going to elicit an equally violent reaction? I guess you're not the target of these slime balls and therefor see no problem. Try putting your shoes in the shoes of the victims of these horrific people.
Once again, you are talking about the 50’s. That’s not now. Also let’s think logically. Lake Oswego is where all the rich white people live as well as rich basketball players such as Damian lillard, other blazers in the past and present. The unfortunate fact is, most black people can not afford to live there, also a fact that most damn white people cant afford it either. I don’t know why you use the 50’s as if that equates to 2018 and it’s the same. This is a back in my day situation. A lot has changed since then
Did they elicit any reactions in Berkeley or angood majority of the protests here in Portland over the last couple years? No. I remember watching the livestream of the first major protests here. Antifa are cowards. They were there to break shit and stir shit up with the police and call them names. They got away with a lot of shit that first protest.
Do you know what they used to call African-Americans when bigots were soundly scolded for using the 'N' word? Ni88ras. It was a dog whistle because you knew damn well what they meant.
I'm sorry Lanny but that's a gross generalization and it shits all over the OVERWHELMING majority of good people in the "deep south". Racism may be more prevalent there than other places but it's shrinking and will continue to do so. It is commonly accepted that prejudice is wrong and racists are shit. In a matter of time it will be universally accepted. Nobody should get the hell out of anywhere. People loving their home and making a sacrifice to stick it out and make it better is extremely admirable. The bigots win when you run from them.
