Ha, I was thinking the same thing. I wonder where the guy in the fedora will be in five years once he realizes this won't get him laid.

Do I actually have to be living in the states or can I claim I am an undocumented citizen all the way from another country?

Yeah, no.

George Carlin was a fucking prophet man. His diagnosis of politically correct language and how bullshit it becomes over time is one of the most intelligent things I've ever heard.

This one really hits close to home. PTSD is a clinical term that does describe a condition that had originated with significant trauma. And I am sure I am going to catch some flak over this, but the term has become so overused. Now people that get yelled at are using the term. One member of this forum relates how his mother yelled at him and now he has PTSD.

Don't get me wrong, there are people that have been so traumatized they legitimately have PTSD and never saw combat conditions.

I often think many people that profess to have PTSD spend time in a veteran's hospital with people with missing limbs or scars from literally being on fire. What compounds this problem is new LCSWs and Psychologists that have the authority to diagnose but virtually no experience with actual symptoms.

Don't criticize psychiatry, Onan  ;)

Not to mention that SJWs are some of the worst racists out there. I had one say to me that she "respects and understands" my culture better than I do. When I told her not to speak for me, she flipped the hell out, to the point that she was harassing me on a daily basis.

I just have an odd ethnicity. I'm sure that they've treated more visible minorities far worse, and far more often.

Man. Fuck every one of these people. SJWs are totalitarian bullies.

I caught that. Amazing. And many of the students complaining were from other countries. Go back home if my rice is not cooked to Japanese perfection. The complaint about lack of fried chicken by the black student union has to be some kind of joke. (And for the record, I'm not black but love fried chicken.) One would hope that the school could boast of some other graduate than Lena Dunham?

I thought that was epic trolling until I read the article. People are one of the main reasons I spend the majority of my time living in the middle of nowhere.

I didn't know who Lena Dunham is. Googled her. A writer/actor of raunchy HBO series.  WTF?  We used to think nukes were the end of Western civilization, but it's become clearer that social media apps on cell phones will do us in.

Welcome to today's buzz phrase "missing black millennials" which is making the rounds on social media based off a New York Times article that came out today.  ::)

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/21/opinion/campaign-stops/the-missing-black-millennials.html?smprod=nytcore-iphone&smid=nytcore-iphone-share&_r=0

QuoteTHE Democrats need young black voters. But the political party of our parents doesn’t seem to know how to reach us â€" the black millennials they can’t afford to lose â€" this time around.

Activists associated with the Black Lives Matter movement, which sprang up in the aftermath of protests over the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., have been challenging the Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton over the past few months through direct action and protests at their campaign events. So far, the candidates have responded reluctantly to the prodding, and in ways that show they underestimate the number of voters behind the movement.

In 2008, roughly 11 percent of the electorate were first-time voters. Over 20 percent of these “surge voters” were black, and 70 percent were under 30 years old. And in 2012, according to the Cook Political Report, black voters accounted for the president’s margin of victory in seven key states: Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Black youth turnout increased a full eight percentage points between 2004 and 2008, with more than half of eligible young black voters casting ballots in the 2008 election. In contrast, white youth turnout was relatively flat for the same period. In addition, blacks 18 to 44 years old made up 48 percent of the black voters who turned out in 2012.

The Democratic Party isn’t really at risk of losing these voters to the other party. But it can’t take them for granted. A Washington Post analysis found that if black support for Democrats drops from the highs of President Obama’s 93 and 95 percent showings back to the historical average of 85 percent, it could cost Democrats a net of 2.8 million votes.

Instead of really engaging black millennials where we are, the leading Democratic presidential candidates are relying on stale outreach strategies. They’re visiting historic black churches, making public appearances with civil-rights-era black leaders and failing to engage in real substantive debate on potential policy solutions to issues of racial injustice.

Recently, Mrs. Clinton marked the 60th anniversary of the Montgomery bus boycott with an appearance at the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala. In a November interview with NPR, Mr. Sanders, lamenting his weak support among blacks, again touted his record on civil rights legislation and his economic platform as a way of addressing racial inequality. And when the Clinton campaign rolled out its “African-Americans for Hillary” group, it did so with an Atlanta luncheon for black ministers, including Jesse Jackson, followed by a rally.

Students from #AUCShutItDown, a Black Lives Matter affiliate group operating throughout Atlanta’s historically black colleges, disrupted the rally with chants of “black lives matter.” In a statement regarding the protest, the group wrote critically of Mrs. Clinton’s lack of direct action and engagement: “Unfortunately, rhetoric DOES NOT save us, nor does it give confidence to black voters that we can trust Hillary to prioritize the necessity of ensuring our safety.”

Black millennials are unlike any other generation of black voters the Democratic Party has had to court. Born roughly two decades after the biggest wins of the civil rights movement, we’ve experienced both its benefits and failures. We grew up in neighborhoods and matriculated at schools that were resegregated. And while many of us participated in the election of the nation’s first black president, we’ve witnessed what feels like his inability to adequately serve black Americans in the face of continued economic challenges and systematic police brutality. As a result, we are not satisfied with the Democratic Party’s mere acknowledgment of our issues, nor are we charmed by their willingness to appear in black churches.

Like all other constituents, we need to be targeted and convinced. So far, the candidates have spent far too little time debating the policies that shape racial justice. At the top of 2016 they have a chance, with a debate sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus in which they should focus less on movements of the past and more on the one in front of them.

To be fair, the leading Democratic presidential campaigns seem to be learning from the Black Lives Matter movement. Between June and the first Democratic debate in October, Mrs. Clinton evolved from saying “all lives matter” at a black church outside of Ferguson to meeting privately with Black Lives Matter groups and elevating criminal justice reform in her platform.

Mr. Sanders has arguably shown the most growth. Since being confronted by Black Lives Matter protesters at the Netroots Nation conference in July, he has met privately with activists and published a racial justice agenda that addresses issues of economic, legal, political and physical violence against people of color.

Still, these acknowledgments of the Black Lives Matter movement do not rise to such a level that they can be considered outreach to black millennials or a substantive engagement with our issues.

Representative John Lewis, the civil rights icon who introduced Mrs. Clinton at her “African-Americans for Hillary” event, spoke about the protests to reporters afterward. When asked about the seeming dissonance between his presence at the event and that of the millennial protesters, Mr. Lewis said, “I think they represent another time, another period.”

Indeed, the period that black millennials represent is the current one. While many of us have reverence for the political gains made by those who came before us, we are not bound by their politics or approach to civic engagement. So, if the leading Democratic candidates want the support of this increasingly influential segment of the electorate, they’ll have to forgo their usual youth and black outreach tactics for ones that take seriously the intersection of those identities. Otherwise there’s a risk that black millennials will stay home in the first post-Obama presidential election.

What an utterly pointless article but prepare yourself to be awash in this mindlessness for the next few days.

What city is this in relation to?

Mall of America in Minneapolis. This is over a man who was arrested for beating a woman and then fighting the arresting cop.

I like how they claim to have shut down the light rail and airport. I'm pretty sure the city would throw them out of there if there was an actual threat of that. What an inflated sense of worth.



Do you see anything strange about this BLM Protest at Mall of America?

Ding ding ding.

I am so confused. This BLM thing is much more a socialist thing than a black thing watching the social media traffic.

/pol/ is losing their minds over all this.

QuoteAny Minnesota fags here?

Minneapolis city council woman is using her position to dox citizens for the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Call news organizations, send emails to the police department to urge them to investigate, get the word out.
