Goodyear getting involved in politcs apparently

[Lateralus]

BLM is not political, it's about rights for a group of people who have been proven to be discriminated against. While I used to believe in the "all lives matter" thing, I've changed my mind. For a couple hundred years, the words "all men are created equal" has meant "except black men." Therefore, "all" has already been proven to be meaningless. MAGA hats would be comparable to a Biden/Harris 2020 hat, not to a group who primarily seeks to fix the problem of overly aggressive police. This is a problem we've had for a very long time. I've been speaking and fighting against this since the 80s. MAGA hats are endorsing one specific candidate.

Blue lives matter is the very definition of promoting tyranny and elevating big government's agents above others. It only exists in political opposition to something that was not political, and was only made that way by some forms of one-sided mainstream media.

I had Goodyear MT/R tires on my two previous Jeeps, and their mileage was incredible for a mud terrain. Around 50k. Also pretty nice ride, and while noisy, not as noisy as BFG muds. However I'm sticking with the stock Falkens on the JT for a long time. On replacement, I'm likely to get the same, they seem awesome so far. For our BMW, I use an off brand that works great, otherwise it would be Michelin.

So whatever to Goodyear, I'm not a customer anyway. But they are not being hypocrites, unless they start allowing a Biden hat and not a MAGA hat.

Thats like saying the SEIU is not a politcal organization or the NRA is not a politcal organization. BLM founders are very politcal operating under an umbrella of leftist groups that institute intersectionality politics and identity politics. They prey on peoples fears using the subject of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation etc.

But you can see the evidence for yourself. At no time in American history have people of color had more opportunity, been born into a time with less prejudice based on skin color among other things. Politicians and their allies in media push racial politics every 4 years. They focus on the worst mistakes that a small minority of police make with black citizens to stoke the fears of black Americans who have more than likely been raised to fear police.

Watch the democratic national convention. Their platform is fear. As the country has become more socially liberal from the 60's till now, you would think white supremacy was around every corner. In this day and age the demand for racial injustice is so high that many news stories of racial crimes have been debunked and proved to be falsified by people with bad intentions. We have multi racial people at the federal, state and local level governments, quota systems in federal jobs and college applicants as well as grading curves for minorities because some colleges feel like they're not smart enough to compete with asians and whites.

Don't take my word for anything I've said. Do your own research.

Number of people shot to death in 2019 by police:

Black-235
White-370

Right before Trayvon Martin was shot, black leaders were calling out the president for not doing enough for black Americans in their eyes. That story was buried the day Tryavon was killed. And the formula was proven and tested and is being implemented in this election year.

But yea, fuck bad cops and bad teachers, politicians, media and corporate executives that prey on the weak and vulnerable. I also agree that tyranny can be implemented by police especially in progressive enclaves like NYC, Baltimore and Chicago. Places that take away rights to protect one's self and family.

I agree that the democratic platform is 90% fear and lies.

Base point...Goodyear has stated their position and it's different from what Faux News and nuts like Breitbart were claiming.

Also, if anyone cares or wants to think about where I come from, I'm a hispanic political refugee, and I think this country saved my life and my families through opportunity.

Numbered of Un-armed people shot to death by Police in 2019.

Black- 9
White-23

No statistics here to support systemic racist claims.

 

[SwampNut]

Man, people are so bad at statistics. Also, unarmed is a silly exclusion to make. Cops recently murdered an armed white man here in Phoenix, but he posed no threat, he just happened to also be armed.

I hope it was fake news. I don't have cable, facebook or Twitter. Its sad that its even a believable story.

What's the rest or your story? Iam glad you and family found a better place.

We are Cuban refugees, from long ago. Parents worked hard, we had home businesses, and I started my first business in fifth grade. Dropped out of high school, and have run/sold a few businesses since then. "Only in America" can a high school dropout refugee own a phone company and live in an upper middle class house with a $60k truck parked outside!

I'm 100% convinced that the Great Orange Leader is a corrupt moron, with the intellectual maturity of a three year old. That doesn't make me anti-American, but the right extremists automatically call me that.

Back on Goodyear, there was a slide from an outside diversity company that included some things that seemed rather left-leaning. They have since clarified their official position. Some might choose to call them liars. The same people who watch Cheeto Jesus lie outright and then defend him.

Hey, has anyone noticed that we are screwed in this next election, no matter what?

Well, since we already got kicked to off-topic. I am Ok with BLM protesting but destruction of property and looting is going way too far.

 

[SwampNut]

Rioters and looters need to be locked up, period. In many cases, they fall under RICO and terrorist laws, which mandate much larger sentences. Anyone caught organizing/inciting violence needs to be tried as a federal terrorist. The rioters and looters have set back race relations and the entire concept of government protest by decades. It's awful. Also, many small business owners have been impacted in a life-changing, permanent way. Including blacks serving black communities.

 

[RedTRex]

Hope the Dems don't win, because there will much more of it to come

 

[SwampNut]

If the Cheeto wins, there will be more and more left violence. That is for sure. They will gain traction and more people will scream about him being a fraudulent president.

If he loses, then the left is likely to slack off, think they "won," but the right nut racists and martyrs will be incited to violence. There's no winning here. But I do believe that the violent right will concentrate their efforts on minorities and specific places, while the left seems to be taking out everything and everyone.

I disagree .... while Trump and Biden have a hard time forming their words .. Trump isn't a politician and IMO he's not afraid to make unpopular decisions. That is why I do like him. You can't deny the economy we've had for the last three years, but you can cast your vote for "Sleep Joe" and see where we are in the next three. If you think Biden is any less corrupt than Trump ... god help us all.

 

[SwampNut]

I am certain that Biden is less corrupt. That said, I also know that voting for a guy who is dying and/or losing his mind means a vote for the VP. And Harris is one horrible human being.

I will no longer vote at all. It's worthless. People who continue to vote for one of the two pieces of crap before us have no room to complain when we get crap. You voted for it, by voting against the perceived bigger crap. It's a joke. Legitimizing this system by continuing to play in it is bad.

 

[trust]

With all due respect black lives dont matter, no lives matter,only what each individual does with the life they've be given matters. Adding color, be it black, blue, or green seems just a racist to me as any of the complaints I've heard, but then so so the innumerable appeasement efforts that have sprung up.

But I'm old so what could I possibly know...

Never bought Goodyear and now wont

 

[trust]

I've voted 3rd party the last two elections, it's as close to none of the above as I can find on the ballot.

Trump is what we've seen him to be, Biden is dishonest (look at his 88 campaign), incompetent, sexist moron who may well be worse than that.

 

[SwampNut]

The way I put it, is we can agree that one or the other is .1% better or worse, but beyond that you're just being a party bigot. I think the orange child is .1% better than Harris. I would have been .1% on Biden's side if he had picked a rational person who WILL replace him during his term.

I would have 100% voted for Wang.
