American white supremacy had to end at some point and with whites being minorities in 10 to 15 years this just sped the process up. The UN should've been stepped in. END

Seems like 2 Alpha Males working security at the same bar. Lots of competition prior to this event. One of the guys becomes a cop and low and behold he gets called to his old job site where his competitor is still working. Low self esteem mixed with onlookers causes a ruckus and cops want to show who is boss.

Skin color or fragile egos cause disturbance? I go with fragile egos and competition over skin color anyway. That is way more threatening than skin color could ever be.

Who wrote that? Christopher Steele? The refs have been called in and they are saying it's bull honkey!

"When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you—pull your beard, flick your face—to make you fight. Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. "

—John Lennon.

Brace yourselves.

There is something being concocted in the dens of power, far beyond the public eye, and it doesn't bode well for the future of this country.

Anytime you have an entire nation so mesmerized by political theater and public spectacle that they are oblivious to all else, you'd better beware.

Anytime you have a government that operates in the shadows, speaks in a language of force, and rules by fiat, you'd better beware.

And anytime you have a government so far removed from its people as to ensure that they are never seen, heard or heeded by those elected to represent them, you'the better beware.

What is unfolding before us is not a revolution.

The looting, the burning, the rioting, the violence: this is an anti-revolution.

The protesters are playing right into the government's hands, because the powers-that-be want this. They want an excuse to lockdown the nation and throw the switch to all-out martial law. They want a reason to make the police state stronger.

Limbaugh has a following / listenership of millions. Cornel west is liberal university professor, who is thus invited to be a talking head on TV to represent a point of view. There is a difference.

West is much more than a professor but just as I thought you are just uninformed. West does have a huge following with all his many best selling books, movie roles and paid appearances although how just having a following makes you a somebody in USA politics makes no sense.

So who is a somebody in American politics to you? For a nobody (according to you) Cornel West sure gets plenty of invites to political shows and events because they value his opinion. He is a frequent guest on Fox News and was actually on the network two days ago. You may not agree with his liberalism but this is akin to saying Rush Limbaugh is nobody in American politics when he clearly is regardless of his far right views. Put your bias aside and go read up on West as you aren't aware of much to make a statement like you did.

George Floyd's death was an injustice. Two medical examiners ruled it a homicide. Are you saying that the black community should shut up about this and thus get respect?

"America always wins" No deep rooted flaws in American culture. No sir! "can't we all just get along?

Who said blacks should shut up? Protest non violently and peacefully. But this vandalism and looting and shit only reinforces stereotypes.

I am also saying the best way to gain the respect of others is to deserve it in the first place. That is how the movements of Gandhi and MlK won people over.

I look at Dcups comments very disrespectful. The problem here is white America thinks we should not be angry, but we can go back years and show how this country has not honored that all men are created equal creed. Let's start with after world War 11 with the GI bill. Where the government for award of service provided low cost mortgage loans to veterans. The problem was black veterans were denied those mortgage loans and look at Long Island it was written that blacks were not allow to buy houses there even with the GI bill. We can talk about reclining that decimated the black community, bit we will. Leave that for another time.

Let's take my family. My father fought in the Korean War in the last black all infantry regiment, who had to fight their way back into South Korea when his regiment was overrun.

By Chinese troops in North Korea with his unit sustaining a 70% casualty rate. He was shot numerous times and some how made it back. You know what his reward was to make sure he got off the sidewalk when a white person was walking on the side walk even in uniform outside Fort Bennin Georgia. Now Dcups will seriously ask why are we angry. How about my mother who was the first black to graduate from her nursing school and was the top her class. I mean no. 1 and she did not get a job right away. The only reason why she got a job was because so many black oldiers were injured coming back from the Vietnam War. If you know anything about that war blacks took the brunt of the casualties early on in that war. But, Dcups thinks we should not be angry. Now when when my parents decided to buy a house outside of Boston a petition was started to prevent them from buying a house. Yes, honest hard working Americans, the one difference they were black. It took my mother going to the Boston Globe and her story being published that it was ordered that the realtor sell her that home. They have never asked to be treated better just the same.

Fast forward, to me I have done very well in life yet I have been pulled over 30 times by police with guns drawn being called the and-word wondering if I will live through the traffic stop in question. Fortunately, my last one I just won a 7 figure settlement because I got arrested driving a nice car and I have the money to hire the best attorneys and caught them in lie when they wrote there police report. No different on the lie they wrote in the George Floyd police report.

Now maybe you understand why I am angry and I come on here and will not tolerate racists comments, but for that the moderator now reads all my comments before I post. The one thing I will always do is keep it real on here. Call me angry, but I have my reasons.

With respect to Trump. I do not know if he will win, but the demographics are changing so it will. Not be long now before change happens. By the way, Georgia and Arizona are polling close, who would ever think that he will need to shore up Texas so do not be confident that he will be reelected. Just look at that black vote it came out pre Obama numbers with Hilary, she would have won PA, MI and Wisconsin. Now, Dcups if you think the black vote is not coming out for this election you will be sadly mistaken. I guess we might be a little angry.

Look dude you don't know me and likewise. So no need for the personal attacks.

Cornel west is a nobody in American politics. If you don't know that you aren't aware of much.

Slavery was of course an injustice, but 50 yrs after MLK and significant systemic reforms, all African Americans seem to want to do is fight.

Where is the sense of purpose, where is the desire to show everyone that they are worthy of respect. Where is the culture?

Very few and far between. All the black community leaders I see keep screwing the community by blaming others and not for one second looking at the deep rooted cultural flaws as well.

I mean this genuinely. Black America will get nowhere with this approach.

US is in dire trouble, the reserve currency is what worries me, because when it goes we will face collapse.

The candidates are both very poor. The root issue is monetization of the government by companies. Normal people do not get a seat at the table.

As for emptying the swamp, Mr Trump seems to have added new and more ugly rapacious species. At least they are in plain sight and not camouflaged. But that is hardly the point.

I wished it was that simple. Unless you are an economics guru... SNIP. The world has its eyes on the USA and Sweden right now because of their approach. If they fail, all hell breaks loose. I think you guys know why. It's the domino effect and the result of our interdependence on each other in this world. The Bretton Woods Agreement and the mighty US Dollar. If I was some of these other countries right now, I would send my best and my brightest or as much as possible to help out the USA from failing. SNIP.

That Brentwood Agreement and US Reserve. We think alike. But I'm still just a kid.

Who are you? You are denying the legacy of slavery. Can't you be al least a bit more subtle? Check our Professor Cornel West, an able spokesman about the state of politics in the USA. He is more legitimate than a troll on a site for sex tourism.

Man, won't you guys and all the ding dong dumbocrats be surprised when President Trump gets re-elected for a second term! After all, look at his competition: I am surprised that Joe Biden even knows his own name! Let the flame wars begin! Hahahahaha Your idiotic comments won't mean a thing when the votes are counted! Cheers! Go get laid and let the Republicans reconstruct what Obummer & Clintons have so cleverly FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition).

Let's get real though. Truth is truth, and Dubbya did his share of FUBAR too. Just sayin.

Racism is a legacy of evolution. It's not going away no how much social engineering seeks to 'accomplish'. Humans will be run by AI before so-called racism disappears. Why not simply try to improve peoples' manners. That's something we could all appreciate.

BTW, having witnessed Cornel West prancing around Princeton for years in his ridiculous costume no doubt believing he's a latter-day W. E. b. Dubois, it is impossible to take the man seriously. What we found really too funny was a letter from West that our premier banker (a man with a sense of humor) had framed and hanging prominently on his office wall. Meant from West as compliment to the bank staff, it began: "In all my years of banking. " What prompted the letter? We were informed that Dr. West kept bouncing checks and expected personal service in balancing his checkbook.
