Okay, now you’re trolling - in the George Floyd thread you said you agreed with Candace Owens, but now she’s a grifter? ---

Yes the Floyd thing was bullshit to me, as is the BLM organization. I went into details on why in that thread and don’t back down now. I personally agreed with her in that case, most black people didn’t. We don’t all see things the same, what’s the problem? It’s still bullshit to me with the stabbing. A ex Mexican Mafia snitch for the feds stabs Chauvin for BLM he claims. And everyone believes that. ---

Just look at what the ex-jewel thief Larry Lawton has to say about it. Yes you tube with a million+ subscribers. I take news from many sources and form my own opinion. This board is out of touch with the new media. It’s suspect that the Mexican Mafia would give two shits about Chauvin. So why would a fed snitch do it? ---

Under 50, read what I said. Younger people don’t do that, it’s old media, kind of like this board. I know its understood here because channels like Beau of the Fifth Column are regularly cited, but not called the you tube rabbit hole for some reason. You know what I’m talking about. ---

Here we go. It’s well known in general that there are lots things you can’t pick up from the written word and you damn well know that. Sarcasm is a big one. That’s why there are emojis. This is the kind of shit I’m talking about. It’s not a dig at me even though you may think it is. But I know you don’t really. ---

I know you have no grasp of reality, cite sources that don’t remotely say what you think you say, and cannot write posts worth a damn. ---

> [@split\_p\_j](#): > > Kind of like a Young Turks or David Packman, with millions of viewers, the new media.The new black media doesn’t have channels with millions yet, but there are several well into the 100k plus range. Ok. We all like some YouTube from time to time. I’ve been getting a lot out of F.D. Signifier and struthless lately. But it’s good to use independently sourced news as the primary form of information gathering, especially when it comes to laying facts down. Because you could very easily find yourself in a situation where you’re under the impression everyone agrees with one certain viewpoint expressed by a handful of similar-minded content creators and it really gives you a distorted view of the bigger picture. ---

Oh back to this again. I think I’ve proved I have a firm grasp on the reality of the situation of Biden’s poll numbers. I know my cites are dismissed as “it doesn’t say what you think it says” but it kind of does and other posts have provided links that basically back up everything I’ve been saying. Or at least proving I’m not just making it up like I’m being accused of. So while it may be fair to say we don’t see things the same way, it’s just disingenuous to claim that I have no grasp on reality. ---

I listen to all kinds of news sources and do exactly that. Different perspectives and all that. I thought I was doing that here. My own view is not distorted. But I’m very political and most people aren’t. I’d argue that if they were, the black polling wouldn’t be so bad for Biden. From my perspective, new black media is distorting the view of the bigger picture, and the polls show this. For example, they are pushing reparations hard now. Or saying how the immigration policy is anti-black. Or pointing out that the democratic party has done very little for black people even though we always overwhelmingly vote for them. This message is resonating with people. Is now the right time to make a stand? I personally don’t think so. But I’m old, so they may think if not now, then when. By they, I mean younger 30 something year old black people. I’m fully 20 years older than them and have a different agenda. ---
