This Photo Hurts

[sheshe2]

I cry for our country...the small, very insignificant branch of our society that believes enslaving a black man and women once again is a badge of courage and celebrate their flag not the flag of the United States of America, They advocate slavery. Grow the fuck up. The war was fought. You lost. Get the fuck over it!

This is what you want? I say hell no!

Slavery by Another Name History Background

By Nancy O’Brien Wagner, Bluestem Heritage Group

Introduction For more than seventy-five years after the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of the Civil War, thousands of blacks were systematically forced to work against their will. While the methods of forced labor took on many forms over those eight decades — peonage, sharecropping, convict leasing, and chain gangs — the end result was a system that deprived thousands of citizens of their happiness, health, and liberty, and sometimes even their lives.

Though forced labor occurred across the nation, its greatest concentration was in the South, and its victims were disproportionately black and poor. Ostensibly developed in response to penal, economic, or labor problems, forced labor was tightly bound to political, cultural, and social systems of racial oppression.

1. Not small at all, though.

I just said this elsewhere




There are not a "handful" of nazi's in America.

There are about 50 million of them the same way there were in Germany in 1939.

They may not wear uniforms or use the right jargon, but when the time comes to harm minorities, they will be on board.

2. These are out in the open..

It's the ones that are not, that can inflict the most harm...

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Problem is many Americans, way too many, harbor ill will towards

the gays who insist on kissing in public, the blacks who insist on walking down a street and not being shot, the Muslims who insist on having freedom of religion and the Jewish people for existing, at all.


And every single woman alive who thinks she is equal to men.

7. The White House will cause the most harm.

They are our enemy now. They will inflict the most harm. They are the terrorists and have the arm of the government behind them to deny every American their rights.

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. DOJ is officially targeting any and all non white straight male christians.

Everyone else life is in danger, not just freedom, but your life

and any liberal who smokes pot is going to prison, only liberals.

[sheshe2]

14. 100% correct.

The rest of us are the targets.

[Bladewire]

3. I see strength, resolve and this...

Fuck the racist assholes!

[Squinch]

8. Me too. That cop is upholding the real American values at great cost to himself.

[Calista241]

4. I don't see how he was able to do that. Turning his back on people that hate him and are armed.

Kudos to the cop.

[FSogol]

6. He knows they are a bunch of cowardly chicken-shits full of hate and hot air. n/t

[customerserviceguy]

16. I'm proud of him

He knows enough to be able to do his duty, and not lash out at those who would lash out at him. Gandhi and MLK would probably be proud, too.

12. Story behind the photo of Black Officer and white supremacists and kkk.

The Story Behind the Viral Photo of the Officer and the KKK

Andrew Katz 8/14/2017

The officer stands calmly as a group of white supremacists act out behind him. One man’s outstretched right arm signals a Nazi salute. Another wears a red hood. A third rests a Confederate flag on his shoulder.

The provocative scene that Saturday afternoon in Charlottesville, captured with an iPhone, was shared with a modest public following but would attract a wide audience. “Confederate flags, Nazi salutes, and Klansmen having their rights protected by a black police officer,” reads a tweet posted on Aug. 12 by Ubadah Sabbagh, a Ph.D. student at Virginia Tech. “This picture hurts.” James P. O’Neill, commissioner of the New York City Police Department, shared the image and commended law enforcement in Charlottesville “for handling today’s events with true professionalism. Much respect.” Tim Hogan, a former member of the Hillary for America communications team, tweeted it, too: “A picture worth a thousand words.” A writer, Yashar Ali, suggested the image be nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. “A black police officer protecting a group of men who wish him harm,” he wrote in a tweet. “Incredible.” He prefaced that remark with a question common during breaking news: “Who took this photo?”

And when was it taken? The picture went viral on Aug. 12, as the Virginia college town was rocked by unrest over the planned “Unite the Right” rally. Tensions that morning devolved had into street clashes, as dozens of white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Klansmen faced off against a fierce contingent of counterprotesters over plans to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from a city park. As intense pictures from the violence made the rounds, this image stood alone. A distraction in what otherwise felt like a moment of chaos.

The image spread further after a speeding car smashed into counterdemonstrators—sending bodies flying, killing one woman and injuring 19 others. But as the retweets entered into the tens of thousands, doubts emerged that this image was from Saturday’s events. In the uncomfortable haze of live breaking news it became the latest in a long line of images to be grabbed and shared online without credit or context. Social networks are minefields for information-gathers. Photographers lose control of their work while those who share it reap the rewards: retweets, likes, followers. Images are separated from their intended meaning, and can even take on a new one.

And so began a hunt for the photographer.

Regardless when it was taken, it's a powerful image and captures the atrociousness of white supremacy, kkk, and nazi hate.

15. I will disgree with O'Neil on some points.

This officer was a fine example of doing his job. Yes and it pained him to do so. O'Neil gives kudos. I agree this officer took his oath and protected.

Yet three yards away of the PD....Deandre was almost beaten to death. You all saw this, correct? You saw this?





Harris said and his friends did not initiate any form of physical violence
