âSome of those that work forces, are the same that burn crossesâ
âSome of those that burn crosses are the same that hold officeâ always felt a tinge more poignant.
Who the fuck "works forces"? That line's been bothering me since the first Matrix movie.
It's just poor grammar; put together for a snappy lyric, and everybody repeats this selfsame line on every single ACAB thread without even thinking about it.
Fuck!
Who the fuck "works forces"?
Armed forces, police etc
Cops are the "forces"
That's a feature with poetry all over: twisting grammar to make the content fit the line. "Some of those that work on the police forces" just doesn't fit as well. It gets the point across anyway, so what's the issue?
Whenever I hear "but how can the police be racist if there are so many black officers?!" I think of this line from NWA:
But donât let it be a black and a white one
âCause theyâll slam ya down to the street top
Black police showing out for the white cop
Black cops are just like women / colored Republican politicians. Traitors and pieces of crap.
All the ones that work forces are the same that burn crosses
This is one dark mode I do not like
This one made me spit my food out, I'm at a restaurant casually scrolling Lemmy lol.
Edit: this is my 500th comment. Woohoo.
Never stop posting, Hamid. These are great. I especially love it when you piss off a bunch of cop lovers, gets me every time! (Although seems like most of them have blocked you already... shame)
ACAB
BA DUUUN, BA BA DUUUN, BA BA DUUUN
Accurate. Allegedly.
Wait till you learn how people dress up to celebrate Holy Week in Spain. đ
Isn't that different, especially with the context of not being racism plus ultra?
Yes, the meaning is totally different but I find very funny that both use the same clothing.
Haha yes, all cops are racist members of the Klu Klux Klan, including this guy:
This kind of meme, as well as 'ACAB', calls out systemic issues. I agree that you can punctually do good as an individual cop, but you are still going to be controlled by and subjected to a fascist organization, participate in their quotas, arrest people for breaking arbitrary and racist laws, and so on. Also anyone can internalize racism, as recently evidenced by that poor lieutenant governor Robinson.
Who does he work for? Why do 1 in 5 black men in the US spend some time in jail or prison? Why are US drug laws the way they are, that mostly are tools to lock up black men?
yes. and here's a nazi making a list:
what's your point?
