American Politics

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2556962]This isn't about any side of Chicago so stop deflecting. The OP said 10 unarmed blacks killed per year. I proved him wrong. People who suffer from cranial-rectal-inversion often have colored vision.[/QUOTE]Yes try to prove him wrong by distorting the facts. More blacks without guns were shot by police than 10 because some that were shot had knives, swords, axes. Some attacked the cop to try to take cops gun. Some tried to run o=ver a cop with a car and were shot. Does not deflect the fact that these were criminals resisting arrest.

[QUOTE=GDreams;2556471]Once again you deflect. Blacks killing blacks is not about racism apart from people like yourself arguing against policies that would address the problem. Why is it that most mass shootings are carried out by whites? Why is this an epidemic almost exclusively American? Why is the US subject to so many more civilin gun deaths than any other country?

If you don't believe in that there is extensive racism then you are the most deluded person on the planet. I am racist though I try to suppress it in my daily life. I'm sure blacks are racist against whites and Asians. I'm sure Asians are racist. It's an inbuilt tribal behaviour to distrust those who are different. It is how we behave towards one another that dictates whether it becomes a systematic problem. Your denial and deflection is just a hindrance to achieving a more harmonious society.[/QUOTE]Why are democrats racist and why do they hate America. Why are they trying to divide the country. Why do they continue to discriminate against white people and why do they discriminate against blacks who have jobs and are successful. Why do they want to see blacks in poverty, on welfare or killing each other? Why are they agreeing with the crises at the border. Terrorists and gang members entering the country. USA has 330,000,000 people.

And there is going to be crime and criminals. Why do democrats allow terrorist groups like Antfisa and BLM destroy their cities over a few black criminals being shot? Why do they allow these groups to kill innocent people and have innocent peoples business destroyed? Why do democrat cities ignore their homeless problem in their cities and welcome in more homeless from other countries. Yes this is the democrats today. This happens every day in USA and democrats push this agenda.

[QUOTE=Canada;2557162]Yes try to prove him wrong by distorting the facts. More blacks without guns were shot by police than 10 because some that were shot had knives, swords, axes. Some attacked the cop to try to take cops gun. Some tried to run o=ver a cop with a car and were shot. Does not deflect the fact that these were criminals resisting arrest.[/QUOTE]Exactly. Even the tiny number of "unarmed" (no firearm) blacks shot by (often non-white) cops were still resisting arrest and often violently attacking them, using other weapons, cars, or trying to grab the cop's gun and use it against him or her.

The actual number of cooperating, unarmed blacks who are shot by white cops is rarer than unicorns. Yet according to the fake news media, hollyweird and various idiotic, ignorant celebrities, it is an "epidemic". Literally the opposite of the truth.

The American people deserve better than to have chronic liars, individuals without a sliver of integrity repeating long debunked lies over and over in order to secure political power for themselves. It's not even about Repubs and Dems, socialists and capitalists anymore. It's about flagrant crooks versus public servants. It's time to vote them out. It's also about Repubs with any degree of ethics reclaiming their party. She is a liar, as are all who persist in pushing these viral, social media fantasies.

Tucker will have to up his game because of you.

[QUOTE=Canada;2556930] It isn't about weather Trump won or not but it is about weather or not the democrats cheated.[/QUOTE]So what's the whether like in Canada? Ua soo smaht. Nothing more needs to be said.

Hopefully the leaders don't take everyone with them as they go down in flames. Never would I have thought that Mitt Romney would remain as the last few voices of reason.

Now what I fear is unchecked Democrat rule. No interest in the vision that the AOC / Bernie branch will push forward. But perhaps if the social justice courting can be checked, the more moderate branch can focus on authentic parts of the platform.

Fucking hilarious.

We need a strong, credible conservative party to make that work. At present theirs a swamp to drain, meaning these nativist, isolationist, conspiracy theorist, dogged peddlers of various fantasies.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2557079]The Arizona recount is a heroic effort by patriots who have refused to stop fighting for truth and justice despite endless obstruction from well-funded democrat lawyers and fake news media. It is clear that in Maricopa County, as in Nevada, Georgia and elsewhere, large scale fraud was committed in democrat-controlled cities. The fact that they are attempting to block a recount tells you all you need to know. If they were confident in the result they would be happy to carry it out.

Certain leftists on here have blathered about "procedures" and "independent oversight", all of which are obfuscation and stalling tactics. The only "procedure" which needs to be carried out is that the votes need to be counted. Democrats are welcome to watch the count. But they are not welcome to rig it, as was the case in November. This is why they are squealing. I look forward to the results from Arizona, and to further such recounts in other states stolen by the handlers of former Vice-President Biden.[/QUOTE]Why aren't you complaining about "Democratic run" cities in states that voted for Donnie? Houston, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Columbus, Kansas City, Louisville, etc.

Are you saying that "large scale fraud" was committed only in Democratic-run cities in states that Donnie LOST? That fraud was committed in Phoenix but not in Houston?

Can I have some of what you're smokin? That really must be some good s**t!

Solid facts. I'll say that as an Asian Am, traditional Asians are some of the most judgmental people. Naturally, racism does not escape my race. It may be amongst the worst actually.

It's frustrating when so many white friends and colleagues refuse to recognize the problem. It's as if some feel that it is an indictment on them individually. It's usually not.

Like you're said, we're tribal by evolution. But I think it goes even further. I always describe humans as pack animals so it's natural to have reservations regarding others and affinity toward your own. And as you alluded, we're also cerebral animals so our actions are what matters most. Denying the issue just hinders progress.

That being said, politics and certain special interest groups unnecessarily make everything about race. I would imagine that it is very unappealing as a white man to bend down and be the scapegoat for all of society's problems.

Put some very small black, white, and Asian children together in a daycare or park and they'll play just fine. And any disagreements that develop won't relate to physical characteristics. Racism that includes discrimination is learned. To see this only compare many a Southern Cal white child from a progressive home with a typical one from the heart of the Deep South, somewhere like Mississippi or rural Louisiana, "we don't believe it mixing, the bible says so!" and the gap is wide. Send the Mississippi kid to Southern Cal at birth, adopted by the progressive family and the results will likely be very different.

It's also possible for life experiences to change a person. This is a very rare case where I'll insert a personal anecdote to make a point. I was raised in a typical white southern home, though a bit more progressive, not the Deep South. Racist attitudes were taught. Then I became a robbery victim. The first question people usually ask when I talk about it "were they black?" and the answer, "no they were white as the driven snow. " Which is typical by the way, as statistics prove we are very much more likely to be victimized by someone of our own race. But after that I just cringed when racist whites came with sayings like "white people just don't so stuff like that," or in response to a good deed, "that was mighty white of you. " That can't gel with me as like a black man I worked under told me "assholes know no color. " Plus I'm convinced that people have the capacity to change. Life experiences, either for the good or the bad can alter attitudes. And it's my objective to judge by content of character rather then physical characteristics, which is perfectly reasonable.

Also some cultures have been more ethno-centric and segregationist than others. The Brits historically were much more than the French and Spanish, as is seen in the greater assimilation in the Louisiana Territory.

As to all of society's problems being laid undeservedly at the feet of whites, I'll speak to you directly and colloquially. Stop sucking up affirming their exaggerated victimization mindset. I know you grew up in the south and feel like you are on the inside, but you are not. Is funny when you hear dumb white teenagers complaining about Black History Month asking "where is ours? The answer? "You have it every day of the week. "lolol A lot need to drop all these Trumpian fantasies and meet some folks of other races halfway. Everyone has a part to play.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2557079]This is why they are squealing. [/QUOTE]The squealer is you and your fellow pseudo "patriots," from election week onward crying about the election you lost, with all court cases and official recounts going against you. See the attached photo, and put your head and that of every fake patriot in place of Trump's and there you have it. Yes Democrats are observing and what they are seeing and hearing is laughable, as wholly untrained, partisan buffoons put on this farse that will have no bearing on the outcome of the election, which wasn't close. We are laughing, still enjoying the victory along with your desperation. Let us know how the bamboo paper analysis comes out. We are having the time of our lives. LOL.
