New racist threats at GM plant where nooses found

[HomerJS]

I have no argument with that. I will say, however, that it was a lot more virulent & widespread 50 years ago. Which is not to defend it at all. I wasn't raised that way.

Because it's has been on the decline in the last 50 years, now we are on a serious uptick. Who knows what we will look like if Trump gets 8 years in office.

Can you show me this "serious uptick"? I have yet to see the likes of lynchings or dragging on a rope with a vehicle.

90% figure is out of my ass but I’ll fibd examples when I get off work. This stuff happens all the time.

Happens all the time, you heard the man, it's all good guys, nothing to be concerned about.

I believe Homer is unfortunately correct-

I dont know how .. But this is racist towards white people !!!!!! And I wont stand for it !!!!!!
And I aint racist or nothing, I got brown friends, but I WILL join the clan if I have to!!!!

Is that like 90% of stats are made up on the spot? Where are you getting that figure?

Living around blue collar whites my whole life, this story doesn't seem absurd at all to me. Especially if they are all older workers like good ol Earl there, and if the workers are mostly white.

Hopefully we'll find out if investigations are ongoing. Either way (faking or real) someone needs to be punished severely.

I'd love to know where you get your 90% figure. I have an entire thread of blacks being harassed by white people having LEOs called just because of their existence.

Do you think 90% of these are fake??

Why do you guys keep responding to him? He straight up admitted already he's just trolling ("ok well the 90% I pulled out of my ass"). You know from prior experience he's not going to argue in good faith and his "evidence" is going to be dumbass bullshit that is often the total opposite of what he claims it is if it isn't outright the madeup bullshit that he pretends he's actually arguing against. The more you respond the more it just derails the thread, which is why he keeps doing it.

Step1: Hire an outside investigator.
Step2: Place hidden cameras at the scene of the crime.
Step3: Remove the offending material.
Step4: Wait for it....
Step5: Profit!

The same place where you get everything you post here? Now you're going to find a few examples and extrapolate that to your out-of-your-ass guesstimate of 90%?

Don't go in to comedy for a career, you're no good at it.

 

[UglyCasanova]

"Examples" doesn't really cut it when you make a claim that 90% of these situations are false flags. Either find some solid data or retract your statement.

Oooh yes sir! Queue NDT's "watch out we’ve got a badass over here" meme.

Now how about posting the real ones and the number of real cases versus fake ones? Or are you just in to things that are fake?

This is what I said about Felix, but he at least openly admitted every post he made in P&N was a troll post. I don't know why they give them the time of day. People like PCGeek claim they will admit they are wrong when they are wrong, then when slapped down with facts they slink away. I know this place is becoming increasingly liberally slanted, but it would be nice if we could get some conservative members who can competently defend their positions. For me, it isn't really about liberal verse conservative ... Trump crossed that line. Trump is just god damned cancer.

How bout you post some boss, should be easy.

The 90% song & dance routine was your claim. You haven't established it but rather that some fakery has occurred.

Fail.

 

[UglyCasanova]

Hang your hat on that if you want...

 

[Greenman]

A little off topic, but when did a hangmen's noose become a symbol for racism?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Can’t go through that thread I’m banned from it. I’ll find examples later.

That first sentence tells so much.

 

[UglyCasanova]

Ever since they started hanging black folk from trees I’d imagine.

please tell me you're kidding.

 

[Jhhnn]

It's contextual. You know that. It meant something entirely different in old Westerns like Hang 'em High.

The "Whites only" sign is apparently too obvious for you to notice.

 

[Greenman]

please tell me you're kidding.

Not even a little. The first time I ever noticed the connection was just a few months back. Now I see it with some racist crap written on a wall. I understand the threat behind it, I just never thought it was confined to blacks. That part is new to me.
I'll add that having witnessed a man hanged from a tree, it's an extremely disturbing sight. A picture doesn't even begin to describe it. I saw it 30 years ago and remember it like it happened yesterday.

 

[JEDIYoda]

You don`t work for Donald Trump do you?? I would think you and him would be beer guzzling buddys! I was going to say something else but I couldn`t remember if but had one or 2 t`s...….
It would appear that you get great satisfaction out of lying...

 

[JEDIYoda]

So that's where to phrase whats hanging came from??
I always thought it was talking about whats hanging between your legs....hmmmm

 

[DrDoug]

Once again, you pulled something out of your ass and can't back it up when challenged so you try to push disproving your bullshit claim off on to me...lol! I bet you're even a more miserable person IRL. Oh, and I'm not your boss.

I'd fire your ass if I was.
