People who don't believe in the southern strategy are the same people who believe a pedophile ring could be run out of the basement of a pizza restaurant with no basement.

What made the southern strategy so easy and effective was the fact that there were so many racists in both parties. They were able to bring over more people from the democratic party than they lost by adopting racist policies.

honestly, this meme kind of catches why the back and forth over who used to be racist vs. who is racist now is so boring
there is a much better anti-black quote from Hillary that embraces her own individual views on black youth the one that BLM was upset with her for


but yeah, your meme does capture the interesting contrast that exists when people say they want less minorities in America, but also complain that abortion services and the like are stifling the white population

not sure if she was politically active at the time or not she said it during Bill's presidency, with regards to the crime bill he pushed through that disproportionately sent young blacks to prison

RCMP arrests in Wet'suwet'en territory spark protests nationwide Rail lines, ports and government offices shut down by supporters
Quote:
Arrests by the RCMP in Wet'suwet'en territory in northern B.C., have triggered railway blockades and other protests across the country in support of the First Nation's fight against a natural gas pipeline.
RCMP began enforcing an court order against those blocking construction on the Coastal GasLink pipeline last Thursday. The Wet'suwet'en have established camps along the road, including the Unist'ot'en healing village that began as a Wet'suwet'en-operated checkpoint on the road in 2009, preventing people working on the pipeline from accessing the territory.
The 670-kilometre natural gas pipeline project has been approved from the province, and 20 First Nation band councils have signed agreements in support of the project, including five of the six councils in the Wet'suwet'en nation. However, the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs say those councils are only responsible for the territory within their individual reserves because their authority comes only from the Indian Act.
Quote:
B.C.
Indigenous youth have been occupying the front steps of the B.C. Legislature in Victoria since Thursday and say they won't leave until the government ends the RCMP action.
Further, a CN railway line has been blocked near New Hazelton, B.C., since Saturday afternoon, affecting all rail traffic in and out of Prince Rupert and Kitimat, according to CN Rail.
Two ports in the Vancouver area — Port of Vancouver and Port of Delta — were also blocked by Wet'suwet'en supporters. They were served with a court order to clear out on Sunday, and early on Monday police arrested 34 demonstrators at the Port of Vancouver.
Alberta
On Friday, almost 100 people went into the lobby of Canada Place in Edmonton calling for the Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) to divest its 65 per cent equity interest in the Coastal GasLink pipeline.
Saskatchewan
A group of some 75 Wet'suwet'en supporters were blocking the Albert Street bridge in Regina on Saturday when a car pushed its way through the crowd.
There were no injuries reported and the police are now investigating, but no charges have been laid. The blockade held up traffic for approximately 40 minutes.
Manitoba
Youth from Winnipeg have been occupying the constituency office of Dan Vandal, the minister northern affairs, since last Tuesday.
On Friday, dozens of people held a rally outside of an RCMP office and briefly shut down traffic on Portage Avenue.
Ontario
Via Rail service affected
In Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, passenger and freight rail traffic have been stopped for five days along one of the busiest rail corridors in Canada.
The blockade near Belleville, Ont., is still affecting passenger train service between Toronto and Montreal, and Toronto and Ottawa.
On Friday, CN Rail obtained an injunction from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto, which was served to demonstrators by CN police on Saturday afternoon.
Building occupations
Twenty Indigenous youth and allies have occupied the Ministry of Justice building in Ottawa.
A news release issued Monday said the youth and allies will continue their occupation "until RCMP stand down, the demands of the hereditary leadership of the Wet'suwet'en peoples is respected, and all land defenders are released and cleared of all charges."
Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth have also occupied the Toronto constituency office of Minister of Indigenous Crown Relations Carolyn Bennett.
Quebec
Since Saturday, people from Kahnawake Mohawk territory have been blocking commuter rail tracks, leading to suspended service on Exo's Candiac line.
Nova Scotia
Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth occupied Liberal MP Andy Fillmore's office in Halifax.

The RCMP's militarized invasion of the Wet'suwet'en Yintah deserves it's own thread. I'll try and find the time, but most people's activity right now is looking at on-the-ground direct actions.

Quote:
American public opinion can sometimes seem stubborn. Voters haven’t really changed their views on abortion in 50 years. Donald J. Trump’s approval rating among registered voters has fallen within a five-point range for just about every day of his presidency.
But the Black Lives Matter movement has been an exception from the start.
Public opinion on race and criminal justice issues has been steadily moving left since the first protests ignited over the fatal shootings of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. And since the death of George Floyd in police custody on May 25, public opinion on race, criminal justice and the Black Lives Matter movement has leaped leftward.
Over the last two weeks, support for Black Lives Matter increased by nearly as much as it had over the previous two years, according to data from Civiqs, an online survey research firm. By a 28-point margin, Civiqs finds that a majority of American voters support the movement, up from a 17-point margin before the most recent wave of protests began. How voters’ views on Black Lives Matter have changed in the last two weeks Though they started from different places, all kinds of voters moved sharply in the direction of supporting the movement.
The survey is not the only one to suggest that recent protests enjoy broad public support. Weekly polling for the Democracy Fund’s U.C.L.A./Nationscape survey shows a significant increase in unfavorable views of the police, and an increase in the belief that African-Americans face a lot of discrimination.
Perhaps most significant, the Civiqs data is not alone in suggesting that an outright majority of Americans agree with the central arguments of Black Lives Matter.
A Monmouth University poll found that 76 percent of Americans consider racism and discrimination a “big problem,” up 26 points from 2015. The poll found that 57 percent of voters thought the anger behind the demonstrations was fully justified, while a further 21 percent called it somewhat justified. Polls show that a majority of Americans believe that the police are more likely to use deadly force against African-Americans, and that there’s a lot of discrimination against black Americans in society. Back in 2013, when Black Lives Matter began, a majority of voters disagreed with all of these statements.
Will the recent shift in opinion last? News events can sometimes cause a shift in public opinion that quickly dissipates. After mass shootings, for instance, big spikes in support for gun control typically ebb as soon as memories of the bloodshed fade.
Quote:
How voters’ views on other issues have changed in the last two years Large swings in public opinion in short periods are not typical. Two-week periods with the biggest shifts in movement are highlighted.
But there are reasons to think that the Black Lives Matter movement might be different. For one, the shift continues a long-term trend in public opinion that preceded the death of Mr. Floyd. By the time of the 2016 election, many white liberal Democrats held some views on race that were to the left of African-Americans over all, in what some branded the “Great Awokening.”
Perhaps surprisingly, the election of Mr. Trump may have helped move public opinion even more. There’s a longstanding tendency for voters to drift toward the views of the party out of power on various issues, sometimes called thermostatic public opinion.
And whether on gay marriage or civil rights, American public opinion tends to drift toward the side advocating equal treatment. Public opinion doesn’t have nearly as clear a record of drifting toward the left on issues that don’t hinge on equal treatment under the law, like gun control and abortion.
With a majority of Americans backing the protests, it’s also possible that steps by political actors could move opinion further. The support of Republican elected officials, like Senator Mitt Romney, could give permission for some potentially sympathetic Republican voters to re-evaluate their views on the issue. In general, public consensus becomes likelier when the two parties reach a consensus.
Of course, it’s also possible that events could move public opinion the other way. The tactics of some protesters could be a factor. Kneeling during the national anthem may be less effective at appealing to persuadable Americans than the recent peaceful protests, for instance. A sense that protests were getting out of control, with looting and violence, could also harm the public image of the movement. And it is possible that the movement will face fresh obstacles as it transitions from a critique of the status quo to proposing new policies. Some of the policies under discussion, like defunding the police, may hold more limited support than police reforms.
There’s no way to know what will happen next. After all, no one just a few years ago would have predicted that a majority of Americans would say they have a favorable view of Black Lives Matter.

i agree, i think my date makes me an old fag. mostly i lurk. if we could be anything, i would want it to be the voice of reason. we all are some kind of seeker. what do we seek? truth, healing, a cool buzz, a good time? i worry that moderates, free spirits , and individualists will be marginalized in the not to distant future. i spend a good amount of time on 4,8 /pol/ i am racially aware, but until recently i never really felt too weird about it. i turned plenty of brothers on lol. this shit today is nuts. they gave that dude a $7million dollar coffin, why? he was no mlk or malcom x. it all feels so fake to me. does anyone else feel this way? do you remember the way the towers fell? that for me was enough to say hell no!!! i aint joining that shit. my family wanted me to go and kill innocent strangers for zog, i wanted to go to dead shows.

These people didn't fare so well taking down a confederate statue:
Dude that got hit is in a coma.
Another view:
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

In this volatile divisive environment, a poll that asks people if they feel positive or negative about the BLM movement is like asking folks if they feel positive or negative about killing 2 year old's.
There are many people who think the movement creates more hatred than creating any positive change. When people express such views, they are branded a "racist" and told they are ignorant.

yeah it is great that racism and ignorance seems to be dropping and people are realizing that supporting BLM does not mean they are spouting hatred just because people who hate a movement that recognizes the validity of black lives try to dissect it through their beliefs
