Sometimes it takes an outsider to see what we can't
Just as TMR said yesterday, Last Week Tonight's John Oliver weighed in, also declaring the Ferguson Police Dept.'s "game changer" of a convenience store video, showing Michael Brown stealing cigars, an attempt to "distract everyone" from the issues THEY face. They're delusional. A fact that was obvious to anyone not trying to maintain white supremacy. White Americans were desperately grasping at straws, and calling it a win, hoping the power of their advocacy - alone - could still work the old magic. It is not to be.
White supremacy's dying.
White Americans - unlike blacks and the English - have limited memory and short attention spans.
But, what's great to TMR, is Oliver's pointing out "there is no practical reason" for some of the horrible and deadly ideas, and behaviors, that have become common practice for white Americans - in places where blacks can even hardly be found. White conservatives loudly complain of waste while supporting blowing billions, here at home, that serves no purpose but to terrorize us.
They're also violently against reparations to blacks for having done so.
How TMR sees Mary Katharine Ham
And then they ask for our support.
How TMR sees Megyn "Jesus Was White" Kelly
That's INSANE.
Making us compete with dogs and pigs, was one way whites fed blacks, during slavery
Oh, and Oliver also shows the CNN footage (that TMR also linked to) of a white Ferguson police officer trying to instigate a fight, by calling blacks "animals."
TMR could've put a Nazi photo here, but didn't, so "compassionate conservatism."
That's after Oliver says the footage shows the root of America's problem.
White Supremacy fights on
And THAT, as the English say, was about as spot-the-fuck-on as he could get,....
