Yep, had no use for that jackass kaepernick and still despise the guy. On the other hand, I fully support the looting and destruction of prog cities. They are cesspools and, like Sodom and Gomorrah, should be destroyed for the betterment of all.

The question is: why are people so up in arms about property damage but not about systematic incarceration of large segments of the US citizenry? If there was the same amount of outrage that African Americans are incarcerated at 5 times the rate of whites or that 1/3 of African American males unse the age of 25 are in the criminal justice system, perhaps we would not be where we are at this moment? Have our policies over the past 40-50 years encouraged the strengthening of the family units in low-income families or have they had the opposite effect? Unfortunately, you have a lot of kids raising themselves and each other without a lot of guidance. Most of them don't have both parents, so they go looking for other people to fill those voids. A lot of those people filling those voids aren't good people. Is the bar set higher or lower for a black kid to get into college than it is for a white kid? Does a lower-income black child have more opportunity or less opportunity to receive college grants and scholarships than white kids? Employers don't have quotas around how many white kids they must hire. It would appear that many minorities aren't taking advantage of policies that were put in place to give them an advantage because they don't have support early on in life. By the time they are ready to apply for colleges and scholarships, they have already gone a different direction. ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

Lack of affordable housing, food deserts, underfunded public schools, racist police, economic hopelessness - you can't blame the youth when they get bad, as brother Bob said. ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti |

Like I said, Sniper, you have no clue what you are talking about. It's also apparent by this post that you are a racist. |

Snipe, there's a simple test. If you've spent more time complaining about property damage by looters than you have about 4 cops murdering an unarmed black man, you might be a racist.

I feel like the point stands. Everyone knows the fundamental issues, but people just care more about people throwing rocks through windows.

See Jeff Foxworthy for your sign. That's a shitty test and you are into shitty comedy. Nobody thinks this cop is justified in killing George Floyd. This cop made it much more difficult for the good cops out there to do their jobs. Also, very few people believe that what is going on around the country is doing anything to move toward any kind of workable solution. The looters and rioters are looting and rioting minority-owned businesses too. ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

And the bad rioters/looters are making it difficult to separate out the valid, peaceful protesters.

Yes I see wall to wall coverage of systematic incarceration all the time on Facebook feeds and cable news... You aren't making sense. What the media chooses to cover, and as a result, monetize, has nothing to do with an individuals beliefs. I could just easily as ask you where is the wall to wall news coverage about / and why people aren't looting, destroying businesses, and rioting because of rampant pedophilia in both the catholic church and the financial elite. I guess since that isn't happening, people must be pro-pedophilia by your logic. |

What passes for "news" in the USA is entertainment. No one wants their entertainment to make them uncomfortable. That's why all the news and even some of you guys are breathless about "looting", which the vast majority of demonstrators are peaceful and the demonstrations only turn violent when the police attack.
How about the treatment this small business owner got from the cops? "This is David McAtee. He was the owner YaYa's BBQ in Louisville, Kentucky. A pillar of his community, he gave free food to people in need He even gave free food to the police who in return shot and killed him last night. Left his body on the street for 12 hrs." Funny, don't hear too much about that; but some kid breaks a window and grabs a pair of shoes and you guys want to fetch a rope. ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti |
