There is still rampant racism in the US and it is nowhere near a level playing field. What is the most glaring in all this is that massive amounts of white people showed up and demonstrated recently over the shutdown. No problem. They were welcomed by the cops. But, when people of color demonstrate they are all labeled rioters and terrorists. Granted there was some rioting. But most were peaceful, at least until the cops started bashing them and gassing them. Based on his recent language, how can we fairly describe the leader of the "free world"? Vicious dogs. The best armed military is coming after you! the people I have seen creating the most destruction and fomenting the most fear and conflict were young White men, though some females too. Twitterwill give you a much better idea of what's going on than the mainstream news will. It may be that the revolution IS being televized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 When the President of a Nation that proclaims itself to be the prime example of democracy and protector of that principle has to resort to calling on it's own military to forcefully subdue internal civil disobedience that in various forms has been encouraged by that same President then the people of that nation need to understand what many observers outside that Nation have long recognized ! The naive who have willingly swallowed the concept rampant monopolist capitalism versus honest enterprising commercialism sold themselves into that 45 years back. Bezos is now King of the USA by virtue of that naivety and has no responsibility or culpability. Should we all congratulate him or curse him? The implosion that is occurring was inevitable. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I would never use that fact to spread racist hatred. Both the number of blacks killed by law enforcement and the number of police killed by blacks only reflects the impoverished nature of many black communities and the failure of Democrat governments running these cities to address the problems. Why must you see everything through raciest eyes? I would not limit the failure to democratic governments. Republican governments are equally bankrupt, in terms of competence, ethics and morality. It is more about a totally broken nation. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get the figure up to 50 % I know you're joking, of course. But if one was to include White-Hispanics in the statistics as White people, that figure already exceeds 50%. By the way, I also believe socioeconomic factors are the main reasons for the crime which various communities in the U.S are experiencing. And while racism might be one of many factors holding those communities back, I don't believe at all that racism is the main reason for inequality and poverty. Other groups of people in the country do comparably well in relation to each other, generally speaking. There are also Black people who do very well too and its middle class has been growing for a relatively long time. However, many Black people seem to suffer from a cultural problem which manifests itself in dysfunction, at least according to the Black people I know, and it creates a very poor environment for people who aspire to better themselves and improve their communities. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The historic church had been damaged by fire, and Trump was eager to show that the nation's capital - and especially his own downtown swath of it - was under control. There was just one problem: the throngs of protesters, who on Monday had again assembled peacefully in Lafayette Square across from the White House to protest the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in police custody in Minneapolis last week. And so - shortly before the president addressed the nation from the Rose Garden at 6:43 p.m. Monday and roughly a half-hour before the District of Columbia's 7 p.m. curfew went into effect - authorities fired flash-bang shells, gas and rubber bullets into the crowd, clearing a path for Trump to visit the church immediately after his remarks. https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2020/06/01/inside-the-push-to-tear-gas-protesters-ahead-of-a-presidential-photo-op/ 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mlmcleod Posted June 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2020 Trailing in the polls, Trump has decided to encourage his arc-conservative radicals to try to intimidate the protesters. Of course, they are unlikely to be intimidated so there will be bloodshed. Now Trump can be a hero by launching the military on the protesters to re-establish order. Sadly, for Trump, this is completely obvious to anyone who was alive in the late 60's and early 70's when Richard Nixon used the same agenda. I am sincerely concerned that anyone not related to Trump could ever vote for him! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
