Can we deport these dour malcontents yet?

Liberals from Cori Bush to Ben & Jerry's attack US on July 4th: 'Stolen land,' 'gleeful white supremacist'


'Today is a great day to demand reparations now,' Rep. Cori Bush tweeted.



While the rest of the nation was celebrating America's Independence Day, some on the far-left condemned the holiday celebrating freedom as a symbol of oppression.

Progressive activist Bree Newsome Bass, who garnered national attention when she removed the Confederate flag in front of a monument at the South Carolina statehouse in 2015, sent several tweets criticizing America.

"Americans’ false belief that this country has been on a steady progression toward granting equal rights to all since its founding is exactly what inspires complacency in this hour as the Supreme Court replaces the constitution with themselves," she tweeted.

Newsome Bass continued to argue that Black Americans weren't truly free in this country while defending her inflammatory viral tweets.

I'm sure they'd be much, much happier in say N. Korea, Sudan, Yemen... I hear Afghanistan is looking for talented, enlightened Liberals these days.

Democrats are so boring. All they ever say is, "Gimmegimmegimme!" They contribute nothing and are constantly trying to take.

They whine and bitch about "stolen native land" but do you ever see them giving up their multiple mansions to Native Americans?

Do you ever see them part with some of their obscene wealth to help out the poor?

All they ever do is bitch and cry demanding everyone else give up what *they* have.

**** them.

 

[OccamsRazor]

Assuming that reparations = a monetary payout.

Someone should ask Cori Bush to explain what exactly the long term benefits would be for such an action. After seeing 50+ years of affirmative action lead to barely any advancement for AAs in education, employment, etc. I'd be hard pressed to think that cutting a check would miraculously turn everything around.

 

[Monello]

Deport even the non dour malcontents. Why take chances when they could easily dour down the road.

Notice that Brittney Griner didn't say anything shitty about America this 4th of July.

 

[limblips]

Why are the POC pushing reparations now, immediately? Because they know the dems are going to bankrupt the country and they want their free money before it happens.

 

[Hijinx]

After a while you get tired of listening to these clock-suckers./
The Average American negro has it better in this country than any other country in the world, no matter who is running that country.
The poorest Negro in America has it better than the average Hispanic in South American countries.
And they ALL have it better than Negro's in Africa , countries that are run by Negro's

They piss and moan about how badly they are treated, when the fact is that Donald trump had more Negro's working that any President before him and they voted against him. Maybe because they had to work=---who knows. If they spent half the time working and studying that they spend pissing and moaning, they would have nothing to piss and moan about.

'Shut down and donate all of your land to indigenous people': Furious Ben & Jerry's customers vow to NEVER buy the ice cream again over July 4 tweet demanding 'stolen' Native American land be returned to the Lakota​

• Furious ice cream fans are continuing to call for Ben & Jerry's to face a boycott following the company's controversial July 4th tweet
• The message read in part: 'This 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it'
• Multiple Twitter users have said that Ben & Jerry's is demonstrating extreme hypocrisy given that the firm owns large pieces of property

 

[SamSpade]

There's very little land on this Earth that wasn't taken by others - several times in history.
I'd listen to them when they start giving up THEIR land - you know, lead by example. Few things are more hypocritical than to accuse someone else of something you're clearly guilty of.

That - and - the faces on Rushmore - while I might agree that Teddy is someone who wasn't exceedingly compassionate for freedom and rights - the others were champions - one of them faced the most critical time in our nation's history to end slavery - another penned rights that are universally accepted around the world - but were NOT, previously - and another put his life on the line daily to ensure that settlers HERE were not subservient to some foreigh power forever.

They might not be icons of native Americans - but they're among the best this nation ever had.

Tom Shillue made a good point yesterday. B&J doesn't care about boycotts. Statements like these are part of the company history. If you really want to hurt B&J, go after Unilever.

It's rare that boycotts work against large conglomerates - partly because they make SO MANY PRODUCTS that they could totally lose one whole product line and not really FEEL it. For example, there's been a Nestle boycott for as long as I can remember - but Nestle makes about everything.

Bud Light had previously been the number one beer in America. I don't know why - I think it's awful - but it was. If IT STOPPED getting sold, when a company loses money on its BIGGEST PRODUCT - yeah, it will hurt.

I think if a LOT OF PEOPLE stop buying B&J - the ads will stop appearing. The stocks will drop - Unilever will rethink their strategy. The problem is, political idiocy doesn't have quite the jolt to people as having a beer promoted by a man pretending to be a woman - in earnest.

“I’m not going to listen to a bunch of liberal Vermont businessmen who think they know everything about this country and haven’t studied our history,” Noem told “Fox & Friends” Thursday. “Right now, Mount Rushmore is the greatest symbol of our freedom and history of the United States of America.”

The ice cream maker’s article, titled “The US Was Founded on Stolen Indigenous Land—This July 4, Let’s Commit to Returning It,” tries to persuade readers that Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills should be returned to the Lakota people, repeatedly claiming the United States “stole” the land. All the fun and festivities of the 4th of July, Ben & Jerry’s says, “distracts” from this claim.

The company also says the presidents whose faces adorn the rocks — George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln — “actively worked to destroy Indigenous cultures and ways of life, to deny Indigenous people their basic rights.”

“We can learn from the men on that mountain,” Noem said. “We can do better. But, boy, they led us through some challenging times. And I think Americans in this country need some inspiration, and we can gain it from a monument like that.”

Noem said Americans should be proud of their country and “knock off” the claims Ben & Jerry’s is making, prompting host Brian Kilmeade to point out that Ben & Jerry’s is taking “advantage” of the country and its free enterprise system, all while strongly criticizing it.

Ben & Jerry’s Loses Billions in Stock Value Amid Boycott Calls​

https://img.theepochtimes.com/asset...id5379424-GettyImages-1342128083-1200x800.jpg

Unilever stock lost about $2 billion in market capitalization amid calls to boycott Ben & Jerry’s ice cream after the company posted a Fourth of July message saying the United States should hand Mount Rushmore over to Native Americans.

Shares of Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch multinational company, dropped about 0.5 percent on Friday, 0.8 percent on Thursday, and 0.5 the previous day. It’s not clear if the drop was due to the calls to boycott Ben & Jerry’s, which has been owned by Unilever since 2000.

It all started when the Vermont-based ice cream company wrote that “this 4th of July, it’s high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it,” before it posted a link to a blog post asserting that the United States hand back the famed national monument with four presidents to native tribal assets.

“The faces on Mount Rushmore are the faces of men who actively worked to destroy Indigenous cultures and ways of life, to deny Indigenous people their basic rights,” the post alleged.

A number of people on the platform, including prominent conservatives, called for a boycott.

I cannot boycott Ben and Jerry's because I never bought it in the first place.

Exactly. I'm not sure why white American Democrats hate themselves so much - well, I mean, I kind of do because I hate their asses too. But they only see the bad in other white Americans and are quick to blame them for literally every single thing wrong in the world.

 

[spr1975wshs]

Something these illiterates will not recognize, no humans are "indigenous to the Americas.
We are ALL immigrants, from however long ago.

My Mohawk ancestors were called Eaters of Men by their enemies.
Seems to indicate that the First Peoples were just as aggressive as later immigrants.

 

[SamSpade]

Exactly. I'm not sure why white American Democrats hate themselves so much -

They DON'T. They say this because they love themselves so much, and hate everyone else who ISN'T them.
Notice not a single one is paying the bucks, living frugal and green, donating their land - any of it.

When they do the "mea culpas" - saying how this or that is our fault - they do NOT mean themselves. It's an easy way to point a finger at everyone else for how horrible they are, while attempting to stand on the moral high ground.

I mentioned something like this in another post, when the people shouted at Jesus that had THEY lived in their father's day, THEY wouldn't have killed the prophets - and he says great, you're just the CHILDREN of murderers - do you hear yourselves?

When they point the blame, they mean you and you and every other awful person - but not themselves. By pointing it out, they somehow absolve themsselves.

Nothing in the fossil record suggests any primitive man lived here - they all came here from elsewhere, and if it was the Ice Age - crossing the Bering Strait land bridge - then it was very recent, timewise.

 

[LightRoasted]

For your consideration ...

Nothing in the [known] fossil record suggests any primitive man lived here - they all came here from elsewhere, and if it was the Ice Age - crossing the Bering Strait land bridge - then it was very recent, timewise.

FIFY.

What most do not know/realize is that about every 12K years, or so, the Earth's magnetic field flips causing about 45 degree tilt to the Earth and the waters of the oceans slosh, (think mega mega tsunamis), over all the lands washing everything away. Add in a Sun micro-nova, and the only remnants of any humans will only be found in caves, as they have been.

In addition, during the last ice age, ending roughly 11,000 years ago, when the ice sheets were miles thick, the sea levels were over 400 feet below what they are today, for thousands of years. Think of land, the continental shelf, around the US, and elsewhere, being dry land. The story of the City of Atlantis sinking, is a story. It was flooded when those ice sheets melted and now sits under about 400 feet of water, as do hundreds of other ancient cities of the day. There would have been no Chesapeake Bay, just dry forested land. Land/sea borders would have extended out sometimes hundreds of miles what is now considered off shore. And since many civilizations lived near bodies of water, as we do now, it is easy to understand why so many civilizations and cities of the past are under water, and therefore inaccessible, aka, out of sight, out of mind.

There is so much we do not know, the majority of information regarding primitive man, ancient man, being speculation. One of the major reasons, is that much of our previous existence, now sits under water. Here's what Florida would have looked like back then, its land mass more than double of today's. Now just extrapolate that low water level around the world.

Food for thought.

Wait! You mean the native peoples did not live in continuous peace and harmony until white men arrived on these shores?

Ben & Jerry’s Has a Brain Freeze as Tribe Takes Them Up On the Offer To Turn Over Their Land​

Well…the parfait pair seem to have removed the spoons from their mouths and inserted feet, as a tribe in Vermont has accepted the proposal the ice cream makers inadvertently made. Members of the Abenaki are rather keen on obtaining the land where Ben & Jerry’s headquarters is situated.

Members of an indigenous tribe who are descendants of Native Americans have reportedly expressed interest in taking back the land now occupied by popular ice cream makers Ben & Jerry's after the company made a controversial call for America to return "stolen" land.

Chief of the Nulhegan Band of The Coosuk Abenaki Nation, Don Stevens, tells Newsweek that his tribe is "always interested in reclaiming the stewardship of our lands." Still, the ice cream company has yet to contact them regarding the land its headquarters now sits on.

That is rather revealing. Once again, we see activists rise up with a loud lecture, and the very moment their words are met with reality, they scurry off in silence. In honor of this move, they should issue one of their trademarked themed flavors: It could be a lemon and shellfish-flavored dish called Ben & Jerry’s Pucker and Clam Up!
