Tonight we're trying out a new live chat software for Vox Populi. If you've Voxed before, let us know what you think of it and if you haven't, give it a test drive, it's easier than ever!
"These ISIS guys, they won't be armed, right? I mean, we're seasoned Ferguson cops, we're used to dealing harshly with groups of unarmed enemies, we're great at that."
Apparently, revolution and guns are only good things when in the hands of white people. Can you imagine what would be happening in Ferguson, MO right now if those protesting over the murder of Michael Brown openly carried rifles and hand guns in their protests?
When asked if it would strange to him, to be on vacation, Satan explained, "I am accustomed to being in horrific surroundings...so I booked a Carnival Cruise."
The militarization of police forces has turned them from a philosophy of protecting and serving the community to responding to even minor situations en masse with armored vehicles, military gear and combat uniforms complete with helmets and gas masks and we see an America that only used to live in dark science fiction stories.
What if ISIS was invading Jordan or Israel or even somewhere in Europe and on a genocidal march through the country, would President Obama be just as much of a hypocrite if he acted against them then? Are hypocrisy and conscience conditional based on what the latitude and longitude is of a terrorist-driven slaughter?
AdLib : Murph - But consider all the Repubs who've been primaried by the very Tea Party they supported to invigorate the party after Bush and Obama's win...
So much going on this week, a lot to discuss and a good time to share a joke or two with your PlanetPOV friends to lighten the load. Vox Populi, our weekly live chat on the week's events, begins tonight at 7:00pm PDT. Hope to see you then!
The real issue here is that when you criticize white people in power for using their power to further oppress black people, you're being racist. After all, aren't you attacking only white people when you do so?
AdLib : Same here, Beatlex, really enjoyed it! See you here soon, have a great weekend!
Beatlex : Big time,George knew this was his last album,Try Pisces Fish...
