Sorry Ragnarok, but your diatribe is based entirely on a single incident. And in that incident, the DI was in-the-wrong in terms of actions and attitude. Evidently you’re living mentally back in the 1970’s, where whites could get away with that kind of behavior toward blacks, or more precisely, attitude and actions-leading-up-to weren’t considered in the event things escalated. That is most assuredly NOT THE CASE TODAY.
Thus, your rant is completely wrong.
We will see...
So far I have seen many examples that I am right and zero examples of anyone fighting back.
Said it before and I'll say it again.
The hard men are isolated and alone.
I'm not living in any specific era except the one I occupy and I refuse to play into the race game.
You are all being used to advance the final destruction of this country.
It has been updated but the playbook has been the same since 1917.
REVOLUTION UNDERWAY - 35 Minutes
This color propaganda film made National Education Program (NEP) as a warning to citizens of the USA about the subversive groups within the country looking to destroy the American system and its people. It dates to 1968, one of the most chaotic years in 20th Century American history.

In 1932 Dmitri Moor, the Soviet Union’s most famous propaganda poster artist, created a poster that cried, “Freedom to the prisoners of Scottsboro!” It was a reference to the Scottsboro Boys, nine black teenagers who were falsely accused of raping two white women in Alabama, and then repeatedly—wrongly—convicted by all-white Southern juries. The case became a symbol of the injustices of the Jim Crow South, and the young Soviet state milked it for all the propagandistic value it could.
It was part of a plan put in place in 1928 by the Comintern—the Communist International, whose mission was to spread the communist revolution around the world. The plan initially called for recruiting Southern blacks and pushing for “self-determination in the Black Belt.” By 1930, the Comintern had escalated the aims of its covert mission, and decided to work toward establishing a separate black state in the South, which would provide it with a beachhead for spreading the revolution to North America.

African Americans, the Soviet leadership decided in 1928, had the greatest revolutionary potential and were therefore essential for achieving worldwide Communism. Interpreting racism and capitalism as closely-related obstacles to liberation, the Soviet leadership adopted an official policy of “anti-racism.” From Moscow, the increased persecution that African Americans suffered during the Depression was deemed an attack on the Soviet international project, a threat to Soviet national security.
When an all-white jury falsely convicted nine black teenagers of rape in Scottsboro, Alabama, in 1931, the USSR’s International Red Aid (IRA) organized an international campaign to liberate the “Scottsboro Boys.” Like the Internet Research Agency, the earlier IRA planned protests, distributed news and political materials, and adopted the rhetoric of American activists, masking the true foreign source of their campaign. Many American observers credited the post-trial wave of protests — some orchestrated by the IRA, others more spontaneous — with pressuring the Alabama Supreme Court to agree to hear the defendants’ appeal. Though Southern conservatives typically denounced civil rights activism as Communist, the general public understood the Scottsboro campaign in the context of ongoing anti-Jim Crow advocacy, not Soviet interference.
Soviet race-related propaganda changed after World War II. As the U.S. and the USSR competed for influence over newly independent nations in Asia and Africa, Soviet influence campaigns aimed to dissuade these countries from aligning with the U.S. by publicizing American racism, asserting the failure of American democracy and the superiority of the USSR. As Mohandas Gandhi observed in a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt,
“mak[ing] the world safe for freedom of the individual and for democracy sounds hollow, so long as […] America has the Negro problem in her own home.”
During the Cold War, American leaders made refuting the Soviet narrative about American racism a national security issue, critical for maintaining U.S. international leadership and promoting relationships with what was then called the Third World. The Truman and Eisenhower administrations consistently advanced national security arguments for ending legal discrimination. For example, the government’s 1952 amicus brief in Brown v. Board of Education argued that
“racial discrimination … has an adverse effect upon our relations with other countries. Racial discrimination [has] furnished grist for the Communist propaganda mills, and it raises doubts even among friendly nations as to the intensity of our devotion to the democratic faith.”
The Truman and Eisenhower administrations hoped that by striking down segregation, the Court would demonstrate that racial equality had always been part of U.S. constitutional values. The public relations value of Brown was clear; immediately after the Supreme Court held that school segregation violated the Constitution, the Voice of America announced the decision in 34 languages worldwide.
Efforts to counter the USSR’s narrative about American racism were undercut by the fact that Soviet propaganda typically involved the reprinting and distribution of unaltered U.S. news sources about racial issues. For instance, the Soviets showcased American news outlets’ photographs of black protesters being hit with fire hoses and police dogs in Birmingham in 1963. In 2016, many Internet Research Agency social media accounts used the same strategy, amplifying reputable U.S. news sources through retweets and shares. In fact, the top seven news sources shared by IRA-accounts included The Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, and The Hill.
Russia has a long history of highlighting the reality of racial injustice in this country.
