Soup is easy to make and you can make it in bulk with leftover ingredients, so you can have a less wasteful kitchen.

But this is only the pragmatic reason why EVERYBODY makes soup. Why whiteys love it is still a mystery.

Black people can be and do get charged with hate crimes, and police will absolutely crack down on this if possible.

The only way to end inter-communal violence is to dismantle the ethnicities themselves that are in conflict. It is a dialectical process and the synthesis is beautiful mixed race babies

The SPLC has on its hatewatch map a category for Black Separatist groups, but the real question for Cannondellah is - what's your favorite soup?

^^^^^^^^

this dude gets it.

Washington Post- Ted Cruz once bought 100 cans of soup, and other facts about him and his family

Right, Trump has speechwriters.

This particular speechwriter has a long history of white nationalist rhetoric and was a college buddy of Richard Spencer.

It's near the state line and some of the metro area stretches across the border. Same way Augusta, Georgia is partially in South Carolina.

"Excuse me, but All Lives Matter"

Blue Lives Matter is even worse because it is an explicit counter to the name, saying that cops are more valuable than black citizens. People are such poo poo

CmdrRiker: Apr 8, 2016; You dismally untalented little creep!

Stephen Miller wrote the speech for Trump and he has been tied to White Supremacists and Neo-Nazis. I think it is important to pay close attention to his chosen verbiage, which in this case includes "calling for a defense of the west." I'm still not smart enough to put the rest of the pieces together for myself.

I accept the idea that we have tons of widely accepted racially coded words. I also accept the idea that organizations/communities can be subtlety reached in this way. Therefore I do not deny that the words chosen in this speech can have this sort of white nationalistic meaning and impact.

What am I supposed to do with this alternative meaning of the word now? Where do I draw the line between conspiracy and miscommunication?

Some success in explaining that Black Lives Matter doesn't mean "more" but instead "too" but only works if the person is a close friend/family and actually being honest about the mistake.

But most of the folks have internalized beliefs that Black Lives don't Matter that they aren't admitting to so you're not actually fixing a misconception you're instead fighting them being racist, so good luck on that.

Conspiracy becomes obvious in context and by the message's communicator and composer. If the speech were delivered by Wyatt Earp the phrase "the west" would have completely different meaning. Not a great example, but it's what I, a historical dunce, have to offer.

The hardest part about this is that I mostly see people countering with "well if they obeyed the law then they wouldn't have the police after them".

To them it's "Black Criminals Lives Matter", ignoring absolutely everything that BLM or the black community as a whole has been trying to say.

The absence of the word "too" at the outset of the movement has been a sticking point for me. Then I think about it for a little longer and decide that even if it had started as "Black Lives Matter, Too" that racist buffoons would figure out a way to twist it to fit their views.

This is another wall that pops up in the discourse and when you try to point out things like "the police see every person of color as a criminal without provocation" they come back with things like "well better safe than sorry" which makes me cringe and quietly unfriend them on facebook.
