You always start with the name calling then when I get into with you, you start crying foul.

So by your own estimation deaths by White Supremacists should be ignored because the people killed are not human beings yeah?

Where did I name call? Are you a white supremacist or white supremacist supporter? I'm sorry if I wrongly labelled you a non-white supremacist.

I am looking for her original Facebook post, when I find it I will quote that so I don't quote 2nd info.

Edit:

Not sure I have the patience to scroll through her infinite posts so here are her suggestions as quoted from https://www.leoweekly.com/2017/08/white-people/

Some things I’m thinking about that should change (in that Southern, black grandmama voice):

1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.

3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.

4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists assholes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.

7. White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the Bleep they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too.

8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ dick-white men will all be returning to work. Get they ass fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.

9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.

10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.

You are a joke. It's because one black female put out some stuff on her Facebook you are going through mental organisms. FYI , there are over 50 million blacks in US and for your information, those are the richest and the most educated blacks in the world. Where did you get your info from that 80% of black doctors in America are Nigerians ?. I want to see your proof of that. You are so good in denigrating people that their life are way better that shiiiity life you live in your sewage filled environment. One of this days, your bloated stomach will be all over nairaland begging for money to cure your ailment. Spouting out junk about a country you know nada about.

There's no single black man or woman in America that doesn't have a story to tell about racism. This brain fart's are not even fit to be dialogueing with. The Repuvlican Speaker of the House and other notable republicans disavow Nazis and their pals but our worthless Nigerians who are never do wells are carrying their flags like it is something to be proud of. One thing that is good that I see from trumps presidency is the way minorities are buying arms for self protection.

It is a pledge from trump and hopefully it won't be a lie because pledging is different from actually donating. Americans with less wealth are giving more than that . Actually, he was shamed to doing that. What's the big deal here. Why don't you google Hurricane Harvey donors and see how generous Americans are. Trying to make it looks like trump is doing something extra ordinary.

In most prior Anglo-Saxon we did not have "hate groups." We had people who did, personally, hateful things. If the things they did violated the law then society punished them according to the law. We did not, that is, believe in guilt by association.
--
Now, we simply proscribe certain groups on the theory that membership in, or sympathy with, them constitutes a de facto crime. This dangerous approach is underwritten, in part, by the Southern Poverty organization that the press -- rather than doing its own research -- relies on as a sort of Star Chamber to tell the Good Guys from the Bad Guys. BLM is a cause and a (loose) organization. The KKK is the same. Violation of the law by individuals who adhere to either group must be addressed. But, if you or I find the ideals themselves reprehensible then we need not join. That is freedom of association.
--
We are in the midst of an incredible hysteria. Statutes and other public works are being ripped from where they have stood for a century and memorabilia vandalized. In Wisconsin, the operator of a cemetery ordered the removal of all Confederate symbols from resting places. So . . . now the PC sort is into desecrating graves.
--
An "art expert" brayed in today's NYT that Confederate-themed statues aren't art -- they are "propaganda." Well, ALL art is propaganda. Is one to believe that the great equestrian Renaissance statutes were neutral political statements? Are Nelson's Column or the column at the Place Vendome anything OTHER than propaganda? It 'twas ever thus -- the "intellectuals" are always the first abandon principles in the face of hysteria.
--
Some of us can recall the destruction of statues of Lenin and Saddam. We felt, perhaps, that this was a very good thing. If part of the local population finds a statue of General Lee offensive then the overall population has every right to sanction its removal. But, keep in mind that, regardless of the nobility of the cause, this is historical cleansing. Take them all down, if you wish -- but preserve them in some other way ("Confederate Park?"wink
---
During every bout of hysteria the more hysterical among us must become ever more so. One must always become more extreme in order to avoid criticism from those further to the Left or Right. The president of the USA can denounce ALL violence and that is not good enough for many of us. He must, instead, denounce the violence of which "we" disapprove and praise the violence we admire. (The NYT has adopted this approach -- there is "Your" violence and "Our" violence."wink
It has all become so silly -- this goofy parsing of which organization is/is not a "hate group." We tar everyone based on those with whom they associate or whose political opinions they may share without reference to whether these individuals have actually done anything untoward. We justify the violence with which we agree and are indignant about violence from those with whom we disagree.
---
And, now, we are desecrating graves!
---
It is all silly, inconsequential "virtue signaling." It is self-righteous and intolerant. It is, in fact, un-American.

The president of the USA can denounce ALL violence and that is not good enough for many of us. He must, instead, denounce the violence of which "we" disapprove and praise the violence we admire. (The NYT has adopted this approach -- there is "Your" violence and "Our" violence."wink
It has all become so silly -- this goofy parsing of which organization is/is not a "hate group." We tar everyone based on those with whom they associate or whose political opinions they may share without reference to whether these individuals have actually done anything untoward. We justify the violence with which we agree and are indignant about violence from those with whom we disagree.

And, now, we are desecrating graves!

It is all silly, inconsequential "virtue signaling." It is self-righteous and intolerant. It is, in fact, un-American.

Raumdeuter, Stanech, Obixcel: I found this interesting comment.
Garbage from right wing economist columnist. LordReed is still waiting for your answer about your love for the Nazi police officer in Cobb's County telling a White woman that your Nazis loving police officers only kill black people. Generic negro from the pit of hell. Answer the question thrown to you by LordReed.

Wait how much did Osama Obama pledge again?
Obama doesn't have to announce his pledge like a loud mouth bigot looking for attention. Hundreds of thousands are pledging everyday without any announcement but a ego tripping maniac will let the world know. Less wealthier Americans are giving much more than that without broadcasting it. By the way, with your love and worshiping of a bigoted trump, how much did you donate ?. I doubt if you can afford to donate $10.
