Jemele Hill’s goofy ass put her foot in her mouth again

[UpNext]

You can definitely make your point without drawing parallels to people who were kidnapped and/or sold, forcefully brought here on ships, beaten, tortured physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually, and forced to do back breaking labor all against their will.

Foot in mouth applies. That was such a dumb take.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I get what she’s trying to say here.

If only more black people could start seeing the bigger picture instead of looking at littler things to bytch about.

Always focused on shytting on the messenger instead of listening to the message.

Everyone on their moral horse because she made parallels to slavery.. well history often repeats itself if you don’t LEARN from it.

Weaponizing white radicalized citizens never ends well for black people. Point is to not let it happen again

Yep people who suck at making a point always lean on awful comparisons to evoke a response when simply saying something is wrong would register all the same.

Just because you don't like the language does not invalidate Jemelle Hill's point. She is absolutely right and this could set a super dangerous precedent.

My thing is it's always slavery, civil rights, etc. comparisons.

But use a holocaust analogy and it's packwatch. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Yes, because these illegals are breaking the law and in this country via their own will.

So it actually is an important distinction. Their suffering is not the same as my ancestors.

Runaway slaves were 'breaking the law' too, but this isn't the hill to die on here. You can disapprove of the deputization of racist posses without comparing it to slavery.

So lost.

OP is running interference ... you've already explained enough for anyone who wants to understand, to understand

not just the holocaust but there are literal tons of examples of government backed round up of humans yet they only evoke painful events in black american history everytime something wrong is done to a group of people.

It’s impossible for yall to not be disingenuous huh? Everyone KNOWS what she is trying to say, it’s just a stupid comparison for a multitude of reasons that have been laid out. Y’all want to die on this hill like nobody can comprehend. None of you making this argument can point to one post of anyone agreeing with this being a law.

 

[eastside313]

They are basically deputizing cacs to be junior police. I dont like that shyt and i dont even fukk with Messicans like that

And they definitely gone fukk over and kill some balck folks along the way in their deputized state.

 

[pickles]

Runaway slaves and illegal immigrants are not the same thing.

This bytch is stupid as fukk. She needs to be slapped up for this.

Oh I'm being very sincere here..

Again, just because you hear it doesn’t mean you’re listening



Instead, your focus is on her and the way she said it, not what she’s saying. To me, thats the least important thing.

Her implying that there are similarities isn’t incorrect at all. Whats important to me is that they are trying to pass shyt like this.. and they will keep trying for the next 4 years until it becomes normal UNLESS everyone stands against it. Have some fukking foresight

But I mean.. be hurt about it though because your feelings won’t matter eventually when a lot of this bullshyt actually falls through.

 

[KillerPups]

Illegals chose to enter a jurisdiction unlawfully by jumping the line to come here rather than waiting for the process to play out legally. Any consequences they face as a result of their choices is on them.

Slavery wasn't a choice. Being an illegal is. Leave my people outta this bird brain ho.

EXACTLY

and what you just said was all that needed to be said.

Leave people's traumatic history out of it unless yall gone become real historians and start referencing the other million traumatic events in human history that are "similar."

Once again implying that people who have an issue with her comparison, don’t understand any of this. This is what happens when dealing with people that can’t walk and chew gum
You nikkas are the most intellectually dishonest people and do it for daps

I do not disagree

She could’ve NOT said it that way, it would’ve been better, but thats not the main REAL point here.
