| Topic | Nurse "Kristy Ann Walker" says that George Floyd deserved to die. |
| Sad_Face 06/26/20 10:03:03 AM #38: | Zikten posted... she claims he was resisting arrest. though anyone who watched the video knows that is a lie You need to watch the full video then, because you can see the police struggling to pull him out of the vehicle. This is the reason why they had him pinned to the ground in the first place. They weren't taking any chances. And this also corroborates with the police autopsy of finding the described conditions she mentioned and their key detail that the airways were left undamaged, which means the knee pin wasn't the cause of him being unable to breathe. You could also see Floyd moving his neck around on the ground, another visible evidence that the pin wasn't choking him. People are paying attention to these things. The fact that no one is calling for a discussion on her points and are only flinging the "X is racist!" card is completely detrimental to seeing any significant change. For us to make any progress, black culture must be put under scrutiny. If you compare black cultural trends versus the mindset needed to generate wealth, you'll see they're completely at odds with one another. For example, having strong familial ties is a key asset in creating generational wealth. People love to prop up being self made and shine the spotlight solely on it (looking at you, Forbes) but I'm convinced that's a psyop to encourage people down the wrong path of making money so they can fail. People complain about Trump's "small loan" of $1 million and mentorship from his father, but that's how you create a grand wealth. Zuckerberg's father taught him to code, Bezos' parents gave him funding for $250K for Amazon. Having that familial component is a large factor in a lot of people's significant wealth creation. Having a complete core nuclear family means there's more income coming into the house, and more importantly, children have fathers. My mother is a school nurse and she can tell you about the behavioral problems that manifest in a kid from a fatherless home. It's easily recognizable and apparent to teachers and other staff. Kids act out for attention (think Naruto), girls don't have strong male role models to aspire to look for in a partner, and boys look for other role models to aspire to become which leaves them malleable to the gangsta nonsense that dominates our culture. Mind you, in my own circle growing up, having both parents in the house was not the norm for me Probably a good half of my friend circle lived with their single mother (though others had extended family living with them to make up for it). I would feel slight guilt that I was one of the "privileged" ones for something as fundamental as this. What's worse is that a number of my close female friends (we're in our late 20s, early 30s) are single mothers for one reason or another, from dating a guy too egotistical yet charming, or depressed (but charming), or whatever. This needs to be addressed. There are other big advantages from having a core family and even more so with grandparents living with the family, from kids getting more exposure between different generations and parents getting breaks from raising kids which gives them more energy and time to perform better in their roles. And I'm glossing over the financial benefits as well. But I want to illustrate the the major gulf the haves and have-nots. https://www.nytimes.com/1985/06/02/magazine/restoring-the-traditional-black-family.html If we want to make real progress in supporting the black community, these are the conversations that need to be had. --- ...
