Gotta be a place out near you that has one. Asian World of Martial Arts was located in Chinatown here, but don't know if they are just mail order now, if they even still exist.

A three-sectional staff is definitely 44%, while Butterfly Knives tops out at 27%. Double sabers is 53%. Naginata, well, I'm just drooling! 🀣

Also, you're the one who said it's a dem response, and that's very telling to your ignorance. Carry on fool.

Obviously someone who doesn't really understand power at all. You might want to read a bit of history and maybe do something that develops yourself so that you understand when money has no bearing on the outcome. Bruce Wayne's parents had all the money in the world and were killed in an alley. Think

When all one has is wealth and no one liked them and their money meant nothing to others. Also, they lacked the ability to fight or fend for themselves. Read The Merchant of Venice and then do the historical dive. Having money doesn't mean you own people or their needs. Common plot theme.

There was a time when wealth didn't mean control. That time might come again. Hard to have folks defend you [and put their lives on the line] who are only making so much. Reference the French Revolution.

The turning point was both social + economic that happened in the 50s thru mid 70s. Other people ascended (women, POC, immigration opened up to other Asians), white men found out that they weren't a hegemony. Better made cars/products from Asia. Add in changes between CEO/worker pay. Add in greed

It's probably more easy to hide within groups that both say that they abhor certain things while so many are doing things "wink, wink" like. See how many are caught with male prostitutes or gay bathroom encounters.

It's rumored that Pres Eisenhower had a Black grandmother, and we know now that the current pope's mom's grandparents were Black, would make him 1/8th Black but he and his siblings [and mom] lived their lives as white.

Imagine how many Black folks they discriminated against over time.

I'm hiding all sofas, divans, love seats from him, but we can look at his wife, then Bobby Jindal and Nimrata Hale [and her family who survived because dad taught at a HBCU and Black folks supported her mom's business], who then try to align with white folks. Vivrlek got burned by Laura Ingraham

White male fragility
White fragility
The desire to also be white (assimilation protocol of immigrants mainly centered around conservative politics and values)
American Educational System
Don't want women in power
Definitely no more POC in power
Not another Black person
Definitely not a Black woman

They flipped out over Superman, not understanding his immigrant status, who invented him, or the original messaging

Notice how movies/shows with a Black superhero main character always has to have white supporting characters who are crucial. They did this when Mantis became a TV show, and did it with the Static cartoon. Seen it some other times as well.

If they are not in the pic, or not the main focus, they tend to not show any interest or patronage

I'm actually surprised that some Harvard folks deigned to dine with those from other institutions. That was might nice of them.

You ever notice that small bands playing Black music (including Caribbean genres) get more bookings if there's at least one white guy in them?

02.08.2025 09:40 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

EXACTLY. The rush for some (not all) to integrate into mainstream white culture, including its prejudices, and then get mad when they really reveal their attitudes. This goes back to the issue of model minorities. But hey, why believe Black folks who've dealt with this ish for centuries!

A ton of "white" people hid their Black ancestry because of the one drop rule. And just because someone has non-white family members doesn't mean that they still aren't racist or perpetuating white supremacy.

This is almost nothing compared to backlash against Black folks being in places and spaces, but there is so much more to take away from this, or so many other things to explore and talk about.

A white rich man used Asian students to dismantle Affirmative Action with interesting consequences
