  1. @Troy@Troy Let's see the leading cause of death for bkack males is homicide.
  2. You have a lot of confidence for a guy that's not reading the news. I'll leavr yiu in your bubble.
  3. @Troyyou ask a question after I have answered. The difference between being black vs white in America is that bkack people werre persistent in living. They were suppose to go the way if the buffalo.
  4. Paul Manafort is also cuting a deal, with the Special Counsel. I guess you will only realise its over for Trump when he is out of office.
  5. x@Troy if you drove an expensive car into Alabama found the lowest class white person and insulted them, would your class protect you? Class like race is a construct unlike countries that have royalty. Its all about divide and conquer. No amount of money will white wash dark complexion. If yiu5 believe that to be true then we had better put you on the endangered species list. Wealth can bend justice but not if you're black. Look at how Michelle Obama was treated versus Melania Trump. I had a look at different Mark Knight cartoon. He doesn't seem to draw blacks realistically. Also the comment can you just let her isn't ralky about Serena's perception of unfairness. There was an invudent about 10 years ago when Harry Connickj was judging Hey Hey Saturday. When a group cane out doing yhe Jackson 5 in black face. Some Australians didn't se a problem. Even though Connick said this would be a big problem in the US
  6. The last shooting of Black man by a cop. The cop knocked on the door and shot him. White murderers don't get shot or killed. You sound like you live in a different America than the one everyone else knows.

  8. Troy you are right but also wrong. Who is defending poor whites Donald J Trump nominally while they get pick pocketed. Master overseer slave it still works. Actually his message is for disenfranchised whit's who are more concerned with maintain their perceived superiority than fairness justice or liberty for all.
  9. The hits keep comin from down unda
  10. Apparently not all scientist say climate change is an incontrovertible fact. https://www.smh.com.au/environment/weather/massive-damage-monster-storms-to-slam-into-east-coasts-of-us-china-20180912-p503a5.html
  11. @Troy if a rich black women Trump a poorer white man. We would not be discussing the cartoon. White privilege Trumps money. That's the point.
  12. The pecking order white male white female black male black female. The White Male is the main character in history and culture, everyone else has varying levels of invisibility. You can also add sexual orientation and cultural/country to the mix. Gay white men would be situated between straight white men and straight whute women. So men talk down to women and whites talk down to blacks. So the more powerf you have the easier it is us to dismiss those below you or simply not validate their existence. Even insults are asymptomatic
  13. This article discusses both sides. http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-12/serena-williams-herald-sun-republishes-mark-knight-cartoon/10235886?pfmredir=sm #Troy I haven't seen the match. The paper deactivated his Twitter account. The paper defended him reprinted the cartoon on their front page. They will sell a lot of papers and he is famous or infamous depending on your politics.
  14. Due to the Blacklash he has decided not to do any more cartoons about race. Just stated his wife and children are being incinerated on social media. He drew Naomi lighter than the umpire. Also the umpires in the cartoon ask Naomi can you just let her win. The other issue is that Serena was about to tie Australian Margaret Court record for wins, which may be a factor.
  15. Don't gorillas make the same movement.
  16. When i checked yesterday there were about 2300 reactions on Mark Knight's Facebook page 2/3 were supportive. Two friends thought it was a fair cartoon.

  18. Thank you for posting Harry. I am following this case.
  19. I feel the best leaders dont want to be leaders. Snd the people that wantbto lead aren't good leaders. Martin Luther King and Donald John Trump.
  20. Pioneer I have yet to see ego less groups. I can't see a Pioneer following.
  21. Pioneer we run different circles abd hence have a different perspective.
  22. Yes but who leads, or rather whose vision is followed.
  23. Pioneer you have succeeded in convincing the forum that your thought process is unreasonable.
