This happens everytime the pharaoh is being seen for who he is. He starts to cover his tracks by defacing monuments, burying landmarks, burning books, and otherwise erasing history. Because present conditions trumps past nostalgia in the minds of the populace. And political expedience makes dumb things into smart moves in the minds of the rulers. But the same thing seen here is the thing seen when you are told that god/bible condones slavery and that is why religion is evil. So when are we taking this to its natural conclusion and demolishing the George Washington monument?
The names of monuments, military bases, and street names aren’t meant to be a record of history. They are meant to celebrate a person. Changing the names of these places doesn’t censor history.
They are made to appease the population. "We named this and that for one of your guys now be quiet" Its another way of throwing money or whatever you have that would be of value to a group with a gripe that you know can be bought off with some cheap prestige. Or a way to pay back a favor. These things are not supposed to be that deep. Idolatry is meaningless and people who put meaning into these monuments debase their own mind worse than a crack addict. The folks angry that they are being taken down are debasing themselves. They do not know their own christianity. Of course the people tearing down the monuments better have clean motivations. The more dirty acidic motherfuckers are mixed in with the multitude the more the mass will lose its base. This kind of bread is not like the others. This dough won't go up if you don't remove the yeasty leaven. Its gotta be like dagobah when seeing the xwing rise. You gotta have faith to be part of this new religion that will bring you to your knees. Because there is no try when the life of one funguy can ferment the whole loaf.
As. long as there's something or someone to to hate on, eh? Doesn't matter how long ago, or if in a different century...as long as it was a thing, whenever. Uh... how ' bout Sammy and the Ratpack? Or maybe Jack Benny and Rochester? And the worst of all, The Little Rascals...that motherfucker Hal Roach.
No...not at all. David's character, which is himself I guess, treats Leon as an equal. In all ways. Pretty sure you missed the point here, along with your didactic friend.
So it's debatable at the very least. Mouse, would you agree that race being the reason for Floyd's death is speculative? If so, that leaves a significant possibility that he wasn't killed because it was black. Maybe it's because the officer was how Zoo described. What I'm trying to get at here is that we all have different opinions on why this officer killed George. None of us can really know for sure... but the media, big corporations, sports leagues, streaming services, etc are pushing Mouse's (and many other people's) SPECULATION as FACT. My follow up question to that would be: Do you guys believe a sufficient amount of evidence, public discourse and due process has been taken into consideration in order to confidently push/accept this matter-of-fact narrative that George Floyd was killed because he was black?
