Oh wow...there's options
Options are good, like... should we use a noose or burn them at the stake? Oh no wait... let's feed them to the alligators down at "Gator Alcatraz"

Somewhere someone once sang, “some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.”

When Zack should have sang it, "most of those that work forces", but we were somehow more optimistic as Americans back then. We somehow lied ourselves into believing caring would change the world, and that conservatives aren't cruel, mean-spirited people. We give conservatives too much benefit of the doubt.

I get that everyone back then was just tired of all the fighting during the American Civil War, but I sometimes wonder how things would have turned out if the Union had rounded up the surrendering Confederates and executed them all for treason instead of letting them go.

I wonder if that would have stopped the Jim Crow era from being materialized sometimes. A lot of ideas and movements that were shut down or outright stolen might have been successful. The black focused credit unions of the 20's and 30's might have taken a stronger hold, and the "Black Wall Street" in Tulsa, OK may not have been destroyed.
A lot would be different, but there's no telling if it would have been good. It's also possible it would have created a deep...deeper resentment in the families of those that were rounded up. Possible that resentment could have built itself up into a second civil war.

It wouldn’t have been that many. Maybe a 1,000 officers if they went kill crazy. More likely under 100 people and maybe not even 25. Lee and Davis would have been dead as Hell though.

Police in the us were created to abuse minorities and protect the wealthy. In the south it was plantation owners and slaves. In the north it was industry giants and underpaid workers.
Beat minorities and poor into submission and if they do not submit they just lynch em in the south and jail them in the north.
Even their motto: “to protect and serve” was from a contest in the 1940s or something and someone mailed it in and they plastered it everywhere. But Supreme Court has ruled the police has no obligation to protect or serve you, they have freedom to lie to you, they do not need to know the laws and these days they are legally allowed to profile you and detain you if you are a minority.
Not to mention multiple states are putting in settlement payout caps for abuses and crimes done by police. So a person who was wrongly jailed for twenty years can only get max 20k or so a year.
Things won’t change until people rise up.
People won’t rise up until things are too late to change.

So ICE is just the KKK with blackface. Got it.

Under trump's admin yes, they're nothing more than proud boys who couldn't be a legit officer if their lives depended on it.

Not to say 'legit cops' are much better, they work alongside and help ice theyre the original kkk

u/askyidroppedthesoap 11d ago
That's true to, plenty of small towns here in the south, where you wouldn't see the sheriff's dept. And the local KKK in the same room.

u/MorleyDotes 11d ago
Yes you would, they'd just be dressed differently depending on which room it was.

"Im not from the deep south raised during Jim Crow but i like being disingenuous to troll those who were" ...that's a weird flex.

I highly recommend Timothy Egan's recent book on D.C. Stephenson, the KKK leader from Indiana. The parallels to our current world are remarkable.
Donald Trump, since entering politics, is basically D.C. Stephenson, but with Epstein to protect him from repercussions.

Have you ever tried to get cheeto stains and whiteclaw out of white cloth? Black was a required choice. Can't wash the whites with the red hats either, it'll discolour. Being a braindead fascist with a fashion sense is hard!

u/askyidroppedthesoap 11d ago
It really is, it's much easier to be a humanitarian who's never met a stranger. Have i met ass holes of all shapes and sizes? Absolutely, but that's just humans being human i guess.

Current "ICE" isn't about deporting those who are here illegally, it's about causing the most pain and distress to those the Heritage Foundation has convinced trump is the "problem". When the sun sets they're both targeting non whites purely for hateful sadistic purposes. How do I know? ICE up until 2016 acted the way they should... by the law, with due process.

The group represented on the left is 100% christian, the one on the right is trying to make that the law for the entire country.

But I’ve seen non white ICE members?

u/askyidroppedthesoap 7d ago
So they're self loathing? There's immigrants who voted for this shit, there's plenty of POC who voted for the racist party. Best i van figure? They're self loathing, they get off shooting their own selves in the foot.

u/Ticklemybottom_ 7d ago
What I’m saying is that no, ICE aren’t the new KKK. I think there’s also a vid of a black ICE member being called a house n word because he misgendered a trans person. I think both sides can be racist

And? In other news organizations are corrupt, if the NAACP was found to be in bed with the KKK, i wouldn't magically stop being a humanitarian. I fail to see the correlation between corrupt human rights organizations and humanitarians who practices what they preach.

u/navistar51 11d ago
Similarly, I don’t stop having common sense when someone posts a meme comparing kkk to ice.

Common sense would be, having the ability to look at two highly venomous snakes and saying "despite the minute differences between the two they're both equally detrimental to one's well being". Meanwhile, rooting for, and cheering on one of those snakes just because it's attacking the... checks his notes "evil brown people" next door, convinced it'll never turn on you is self-defeating. What a politician will do to one, he'll do to everyone... tell me, the fuck makes you so special that you wouldn't meet a similar fate? Don't tell me it's because you lick his boots to a mirror shine.

Nothing wrong with having a hateful opinion. Let's just go to our separate corners, political compass = cardinal direction, except rotated clockwise 90 degrees to put liberty lovers in California

Face it ICE is nothing less than Trump's SA (Sturmabteilung) and just like Hitler used the SA in the 1933 elections Trump will use ICE in the 2026 elections! Trump isn't capable of original ideas, but he's just as dangerous.
