Protests.

[CRStar]

Well, with Obumba here in LA yesterday, it was nothing but a farce. The annoying part about watching the news last night was not the protesters and what they want, but the group of Armenian protesters. Our country is in a mess, in fact a shambles and there were protesters protesting about gas, jobs, economy and points that are effecting our daily lives. But, there would be some morons protesting that the US govt does not recognize the genocide "committed " by the Turks. That was 100yrs ago. It was then known as the Ottoman Empire and these fools, who probably never had any family members involved are yapping away about this nonsense. This country has more important things to worry about than some small group of people with too much time on their hands, who wont assimilate and live in the past. Wow, I'm 50% native, 50% white, I don't go running to places like this crying how the white man killed woman and children and the Govt better own up to it and scream for reparations like other folks like to do. It's in the past, move on we have more problems at the moment than worry about something that took part about 100yrs ago and has nothing to do with this country.

Whatever.

 

[Sense]

Its like what the blacks do every minute of everyday

 

[CRStar]

You are 100% correct. They do it all the time cuz they are too Goddamn lazy to work. Any excuse for a free hand out.

 

[Two Thumbs]

one question

Why do you care what a bunch of Armenians do?

I read that whole post and found little point to it.

 

[Two Thumbs]

oh, you're a racist

never mind.

 

[Foxfyre]

No, I think there was a point to the OP. And I hope the thread starter was being tongue-in-cheek with the racist bit. If not, well the thread isn't about racism. The thread is about entitlement. Not just entitlement but hypocritical entitlement of the sort that demands payment for wrongs done to our ancesters but no responsibility to repair any harm our own ancesters might have done.

The OP is correct that what was then is not now. We can't correct most of what was then. We can assume responsibility to make our now a better time and place.

Well here's hoping I was wrong.

But I think the; "They do it all the time cuz they are too Goddamn lazy to work. Any excuse for a free hand out."

Kinda clenches the racist angle.

 

[CRStar]

Why thank you Two Thumbs you are so smart, thanks for commenting, I really learned a lot from you today. Me being half native, have had enough racism throw at me, you know what, like water off a ducks back.

Not if it was said with sarcasm to make a point. One of the problems with the internet is we are deprived of body language, voice inflection, facial expression, etc. So I'll give the member benefit of the doubt and opportunity to explain.

But again, even if she is racist, the thread isn't about that. And I think the topic worthy of discussion so hope it can be discussed.

Two Thumbs, facts are facts. Get real, look around in the REAL world. certain groups wont work and just prefer a handout and when refused, play the race card, over and over again. Sad there are so many nit wit's falling for this "race card" act and give in just to appease.

Dumbass liberals protest over so much ridiculous shit anymore that protests dont even mean anything anymore. People don't even pay any attention to them anymore because they are just a bunch of moronic cry babies sniveling and whining about nothing important.
If they would get off there lazy asses and make an attempt to make whatever it is they are complaining about better, instead of trying to use government to do it, they might just get something accomplished.
That's the thing with liberals, they cannot accomplish anything unless it's through government coercion.
Name one thing a liberal has accomplished that they did not need the government to accomplish for them.

I obviously haven't been paying attention so I had to look it up:

Thousands join in protest calling on Obama to honor Armenian Genocide pledge : Public Radio of Armenia

I found this interesting:

"As President Obama embarks on his re-election campaign, the Armenian American community, anti-genocide activists, and people of good conscience are still waiting for him to demonstrate Presidential leadership to fulfill his 2008 promise by reaffirming the Armenian Genocide," stated ANCA Western Region Chairman Andrew Kzirian.

Serj Tankian led the energized crowd in chants of “As President, I will recognize the Genocide,” referencing Obama’s January 18, 2008 statement pledging to call this evil by its rightful name.

Obama needs to keep track of his campaign promises.

But in defense of Two Thumbs who is not generally given to rash judgment or inappropriate perceptions, unless you specify that it is a group within a group rather than the entire group, his perception of racism might be justified.

And yes, there are those in the black community, as well as among the 'anglos' as our locals refer to non-Hispanic white folk no matter where they came from or Native Americans or Hispanics or Asians or whatever, who embrace a sense of entitlement that they expect everybody else to respect.

Those Armenians in your OP embrace such a sense of entitlement.

Intelligent people everywhere in all groups should reject that concept.

 

[High_Gravity]

You are 100% correct. They do it all the time cuz they are too Goddamn lazy to work. Any excuse for a free hand out.

You are full of shit.

 

[High_Gravity]

Your half Native and your talking about being lazy? you got some god damn nerve, all you clowns do is sit around the reservations, drink and collect a check every month, what a joke.

I'm intollerant of generalisations. we are all adults here and we understand the need to be specific.

As H_G pointed our the general view of natives are that they are whiney stay at home drunks. And I could easily add that they have sold thier land, pride and past to have casinoes.


Every now and then, I'm so very very glad I joined the Navy. It gave me a look at people of all colors, that were forced to get along and help each other.

I found none to be lacking.

I didn't have black or brown, asian, red, purple pink, white shipmates

I had Shipmates. A bunch of hard assed muther fuckers I'd die for.

so please excuse me for calling bullshit when I see it.

Why thank you High Gravity. I love your analysis and perception. When last did you visit a Rez? Never! I thought so. Sweetheart, I don't live on the rez and trust me hun, there are more bone idle blacks walking around the streets and the ghetto than any "drunk native sitting under a tree collecting a check". I go to the Rez and visit, I don't see much of what you are yapping about. BTW, who fills the prison system, blacks or natives. Oh wait, I'm being racist now, poor blacks were never given a chance and have always been suppressed and it's every ones fault they are destructive, lazy and have a touch of criminal element running through them and we must work hard to support them. Oh, I'm so sorry.

Two Thumbs, you are yapping. Hush sweety, you're talking in circles.
