George Floyd 2: Electric Pigaloo

[choof]

Re: George Floyd 2: Electric Pigaloo

only me and all of my immediate family except my brother

I just don't come on FFR and tell my life story and all personal details cause its not relevant

hmm I think it's kinda fucked up if you're willing to call people crackheads while simultaneously having an immediate family riddled with drug abuse problems
perpetuating the stereotype and all that shit

[choof]

Re: George Floyd 2: Electric Pigaloo

if I am disliked for calling out hypocrisy oh well I guess

Re: George Floyd 2: Electric Pigaloo

so the issue wasn't even calling someone a crackhead but using their substance abuse issues as a reason for them not deserving their occupation

in that case, asking for rehabilitation is good but not making derogatory comments about someone's drug habits which only stigmatizes addiction further. and i said this in that thread but instead you stuck your head in the sand and pissed me tf off

and second what does me posting about my life have to do with anything you've said? actually, what does any personal detail about any of our lives have to do with the conversation we were having in thread (aside from the obvious "we live with a racist and corrupt police force" angle)? clearly what you're doing now is insulting me because you both disagree with me and personally dislike me. i think that's out of line

this is derailing the thread and I just made a bitchy comment toward you so idk why choof even cares

but I was just saying the exact same thing you are saying. that even if it didn't personally affect me, it's still morally not right to me that laws target addicts, and that there are people who uphold and defend these laws. I don't need to tell choof "I am an addict and have personal reasons to care" to have this view point. I realize how it came off now and am still slightly drunk from last night so I apologize. I'm not the best at wording my points

substance abuse is something a lot of veterans deal with, stereotypes like "crackhead" are one of the reasons why we don't seek help and end up emptying our brains into a bathtub

I'm not getting back into this go read the thread in tgb if you care but I was referring to a specific powerful white male politician who personally fucked up the lives of many people including addicts that I personally know irl so take that as you will but anyway I think talking about police brutality is a lot more important than this

Re: George Floyd 2: Electric Pigaloo

I never really knew about Juneteenth until a few years ago, we definitely never learned about it in school up here and man wow it's crazy that it was only 1865 when slavery ended in the USA

considering my grandfather was born in 1927 and he is still alive it's really not that hard to see how these racist ideals have been passed down and continue to the present day. it's more recent than it seems when you really think about it that slavery was just a thing that existed

Re: George Floyd 2: Electric Pigaloo

Re: George Floyd 2: Electric Pigaloo

Re: George Floyd 2: Electric Pigaloo

black lives matter!!

*goes back to not voting or helping the right people for the movement get elected into the positions they need to create actual change*

[mi40]

Re: George Floyd 2: Electric Pigaloo

tell me which candidates for which local/state/national seats of political power you are voting for and what their proposed solutions are and what you are doing to actively help them gather more votes and influence

oh nevermind haha

Re: George Floyd 2: Electric Pigaloo

Re: George Floyd 2: Electric Pigaloo

I don't live in a country that has "state" level officials my dude. And you know nothing about the city or apparently even country I live in so what would that mean to you? I am involved in local politics a lot more than you and I vote. Fuck off with your condescending nonsense.

we have our own issues here in Canada but I support this specific movement in the way that I can which is solidarity. both online and in person marches.

You're just full of loaded assumptions about me personally how about you make a better argument?
