In The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien drew upon the language and themes found in the old Medieval hero-tales in order to construct a kind of new mythology. The brilliance of Tolkien was in his departure from the Pagan modes of conduct and morality of these old tales, his creation of a syncretistic fusion between Christian thought and Pagan language, and so his work achieved a deep resonance with all who read it.
We find this passage at the conclusion of The Return of the King:
>The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.
Adversaries in the stories that Tolkien drew upon, Grendel, Mordred and the like, often served as obstacles that the heroes could overcome through feats of strength and cunning. Sauron is not like them. When Sauron is defeated, it is not because Aragorn is stronger than him or because Gandalf is wiser. They are not. It is only that his hubris was so great that it never occured to him that anyone would want to destroy the thing he held so dear. It is not until the final few seconds of his existence that he realises his mistake.
I think that I Am Jazz displays a similar moment. In the pictured scene, Jazz's journey to what he believes is womanhood is almost complete. He is resting after surgery, a triumphant smile on his face, his rotting groin held together by a labyrinthine patchwork of stitches and grafts. But as Eru Ilúvatar nudged Gollum over the Crack of Doom into the fires beneath, so too does the God of our world intervene in this.
>Pop!
In a second, the follies of men are undone and Jazz's crotch explodes, a meaty froth of blood and pus pouring out of the hole where his penis used to be.
This is true unironically though. Gay men are attracted to men, not literal children. Someonoe who is attracted to LITTLE KIDS ha nothing in common with a gay person
It's not anything wrong with blacks. It's because of how decades old laws created systematic oppressiom that pushed minorities into bad neighborhoods ridden with crime and drug abuse and created a vicous cycle long after it was enforced. Like redlining and segregation and also just police brutality.
Seriously tho, even if we accepted that this argument is 100% truth. How do you fix the problem then? Give them more money? Because thats all a poor person need, right? Money?
giving people money is an awful solution, because individual people suck at managing money. the actual solution would probably involve investing in the community and making it not a shithole, but then again people complain that that's gentrification so you can't really win
The issue is simpler than that. It's not that they're awful at managing money, and it's not "the environment".
How do you go to sleep at night? You lie down and pretend to sleep until you actually fall asleep.
How did you get a job? You went through the motions of doing a marketable skill until you didn't suck at it enough for someone to pay you to do it.
How do you start a lawnmower? You force the engine to go through the motion of running until it actually runs itself.
Its the same with riding a bike, sex, whatever. How do you succeed at anything? You pretend to do the thing, and keep trying until you're actually doing it.
That’s why the solution is to build a community not buy one. And by build I mean get neighbors to know one another, volunteer, practice common social norms ect....
There are a lot of problems, but I think the first step to fixing them is to acknowledge the faults within our own community first. It won't matter how much the government does for black communities if all these jobless retards continuously fuck it all up.
lmao we can throw all the money at schools we want, so long as education is a "white person thing" and half the student body wrote it off sometime around age 11, ain't nobody coming out of those schools ready to succeed except the most dedicated who would've succeeded no matter where they went.
I like how the neighborhoods are just bad and it's no consequence of the people who live there. They were pushed to bad crime-filled neighborhoods, the crime was there before the people were.

In that moment of blind panic and terror, Jazz is Sauron. All triumph and victory is gone. Only the Void remains.

the claim is that by making the neighborhood nice ("investing in the community") then the blacks cant afford the rent prices anymore.

Education is #1 for fixing this. Go right to the schools
