"lel. POCs are butthurt that whites in the US are becoming a voting bloc that are realizing they have group interests. Funny though, I've never heard anyone complain about the fact that something like 96% of the blacks that voted in 08 voted for Obama. It's almost like blacks voted with their gene pool."

Sambo is an older derogatory remark pertaining to people of colour.

1991: Tory MP Jack Shields allegedly says "shut up, Sambo," a racist slur, to NDP MP Howard McCurdy, the only black member in the House. Shields later denies it.

I find it hilarious that anyone would take BLM Canada seriously,
when their leader has been shown to be a complete racist.
She was calling a Ethiopian student a coon at her university, and has tweeted many times about her disdain of white people, but that somehow is ok.
Why would you listen to someone calling a person racist, who is racist themselves?

Sambo is a fighting sport. Since he is talking about Rambo, Sambo as a martial art is the best contextual explanation.

[–]TheBigTank- Agincourt 3 points4 points5 points  (11 children)
It is most certainly not the best explanation and I invite everyone to verify that by taking a look for themselves

User names are made before a poster's history, so the latter is just quote mining/confirmation bias.
For content that does not contribute to any discussion.
[–]Anal_flagellum 2 points3 points4 points  (7 children)
Telling people to look at OP's entire post history for context is the literal opposite of quote mining.

No. That is the exact definition of it.

So you're saying that asking people to take OP's username in context of his post history is actually taking his username out of context?
For content that does not contribute to any discussion.
[–]VirginWizard69- Seaton Village -2 points-1 points0 points  (4 children)
Not his entire user name, no, just the word sambo beside rambo. Rambo did fight Russians, and Sambo is a Russian martial art. Based on that alone, we cannot know if he means Sambo as a martial art or sambo as a black person. It is not immediately obvious that his use of Sambo is de facto racist at face value.

[–]TheBigTank- Agincourt 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
OP has racial slur in username
OP has history of racially charged posts with racial slurs and and frequently comments and posts on subreddits where racists hang out
Best contextual explanation: martial arts
Gotcha

I can tolerate just about any kooky group, provided they have a sense of humour
Heck, even the Mormons liked 'The Book of Mormon' musical
This just provides further evidence of the massive chip on their shoulder, and their collective victim complex

neo nazis have a victim complex. Black people have legitimate grievances.
For content that does not contribute to any discussion.
[–]CrazyPersonPills 1 point2 points3 points  (7 children)
Is one of those grievances the use of puns in hashtags?
Neo-nazis? Yeah, I imagine they probably do... what an odd thing to bring up for absolutely no reason
For content that does not contribute to any discussion.
[–]blafunke 0 points1 point2 points  (4 children)
Not no reason, they've been making a lot of noise lately. As for the pun, it's not harmless. It's an attempt at belittling a legitimate cause, one that's about people who've died needlessly.

Have they? I must have missed all of those articles published by Toronto Neo-nazis... do they have a twitter? Have they marched in any parades or held any protests? Have any of them been invited to speak on television?
I want to make sure I'm in the loop on all of this media exposure Neo-Nazis are getting and you're so familiar with - is there a mailing list or something?
As for the pun, it's not harmless.
Yes, yes it is harmless.
Now, can you tell me how many moose were killed or abused because of that image?
It's an attempt at belittling a legitimate cause
No, no it is not attempting to belittle anything; believing it is may actually be a sign of some sort of weird paranoid delusion or persecution complex.
people who've died needlessly
... what?
For content that does not contribute to any discussion.
[–]Xert -2 points-1 points0 points  (0 children)
No, it was an attempt to advertise in an edgy fashion — any belittling was merely a byproduct

Seeing as OP is a neo-nazi it's not like it was brought up for no reason

[–]CrazyPersonPills -1 points0 points1 point  (0 children)
Are they? Looks like they're just one crazy racist, or white supremacist, on the internet
Even if they are, the linked article has nothing to do with Neo-nazis, and neither does the subject
BLM has in this case, and this is part of a larger trend, focused on a trivial and innocent banality like it's an actual case of hatred and discrimination - they can only cry wolf so many times before we have to agree that their neurotic obsession with being a victim is unhealthy and unproductive (and detracts from actual cases of discrimination and hate)

[–]xwt-timster- The Annex -1 points0 points1 point  (1 child)
maybe in the US, where they're used as target practise. Where in Canada are they being used that way?

[–]blafunke 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
BlackLivesMatter is by and large a US movement based on the really serious problems there. I don't care if you want to nit pick about Toronto's version of it. If I hear #BlackLivesMatter I think of the movement as a whole, and that means the very meaningful and important American one. There's no nuance in a hash tag that makes fun of #BlackLivesMatter. They're dismissing the whole movement U.S. included. And finally, don't pretend there aren't problems in Canada that need to be addressed. There are, we're far from blameless.

The leaders of BLM Canada have shown themselves to do what they preach against.
She is not a good person, and not someone we should listen to.
I want to support minorities (not that black people are being killed like the USA) but how can I listen to someone who talks down, and uses racist epitaphs against POCS who disagree with her.
Not to mention her tweets about killing white people.
All of this should raise red flags.
