TNS- Papa Pope addresses the racism (and racists) in America

"Papa Pope" explains the black point of view on the relationship between the south and their legacy, and does so elegantly, powerfully and with a hint of the impatience we all feel in waiting for our fellow humans to catch up with us.

This was a short speech/rant given on Larry Wilmore's Nightly Show in response to the (ongoing) racial tension in America, the recent murders in South Carolina, and the states resistance to removing the Confederate Flag from the states capitol grounds.

I agree completely, complaining about the flag, while I agree with wanting it taken down, seems like a ridiculously misplaced sentiment. I don't understand how that's the resolution people collectively came to in response to the deaths of innocents.
I do feel the flag is a symbol that does support an underlying system of hate, though, but in the context of the murders it probably has a laughable 0.00001% of jack-shit to do with them.
I'm sure our opinions are divided on what we should do to fix the situation as a people, but I think we both agree that there are better places to look for an appropriate solution.

It's not the flag stirring the pot, dimwit.

It's the constant murder of innocent black people.

YOU'RE STIRRING THE POT with most of your comments.

Every time you say stupid shit like..

"well black kill blacks more than cops do.
why don't you see black people protesting about that?"

The flag is the just the atmosphere ABOVE the tip of the iceberg.

What the dumb ass kid was wrong and he will get his just due in prison.


The flag means nothing to me. That was some 125 years ago. It is as irrelevant as the American flag of its day.

The flag only hold racist cogitations if you allow it. IF you allow it to imprison you mind so be it-- be stupid and let it get the best of you.


As far as what you said ""well black kill blacks more than cops do. " That is a true statement its not pot stirring.

You're fragile. You got aggrieved white man syndrome.. bad.

Your problem is.. you hate thinking.

Stop and ask yourself, why are blacks killing blacks?

Why is Genji saying i'm stirring the pot when I say that.

How does pretending like racist symbols don't bother black people, free them from all the trappings of a deeply racist society?


You think racism only exist in our minds.

You're wrong. But you're just too afraid to admit that.


Ask yourself, "why am I afraid to admit to the truth of my views"?

Why, bob? Why?
