Racism...Forever?

The ironic thing about Trump's Israel hugging schtick (I hope you saw what I did there), wherein he accuses Dems of being anti-Semitic, is that the Jews know he's full of shit. Only Christians believe that nonsense.

 

That's true.

 

Barr shoots down federal civil rights charges for NYPD who choked out & killed Eric Garner

Barr sides against civil rights officials in declining to bring charges against NYPD officer in Garner case
By David Shortell, CNN

Washington (CNN) — Attorney General William Barr made the decision not to bring federal civil rights charges against the New York Police Department officer accused of fatally choking Eric Garner, siding with a Justice Department team from New York over the Civil Rights Division in Washington due to concerns that prosecutors could not successfully prove the officer acted willfully, a senior Justice Department official said.

The decision to not pursue the charges against the officer, Daniel Pantaleo, came after a dispute between the teams, the official said. Barr made the decision after viewing the video showing Garner's takedown several times and quizzing both groups of attorneys.

It is not unusual for the attorney general, as the head of the Justice Department, to make final prosecution calls.

The divide between New York prosecutors and civil rights officials in Washington, DC, existed as well under the Obama administration, creating a stalemate that left the case unresolved before Donald Trump was elected President in 2016, CNN has reported.

Actually, there are more than 50K in Uruguay. It is estimated at 6 to 8% of the population. I was actually surprised to see the number of black people in Montevideo.

 

That’s so goy...

 

Well, that guy can kiss off state-wide or national office.

 

It would never be otherwise in a Trump administration.

What they are saying? “The sector is in recession. That’s not news, it’s a consequence of China’s cyclical slowdown and the trade war. We expect another tough quarter in Q3, but by Q4 we think a trade deal will have been done and China’s economy will be turning up,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.​

 

Hmmm. I'd think the Chinese would wait out a final negotiation until the 2020 election cycle is over, unless Trump bends over backwards to their demands.

It isn't like the Chinese government officials are going to lose an election over this.

 

Last time I checked, we currently live in a dystopian hellscape where this administration atones for nothing it does, so if y'all are expecting a recession to begin and knock Trump on his ass in time for the 2020 election, boy have I got some prime beachfront property in Glendale, Arizona to sell you.

 

Reminds me of this video about a black American experiencing the difference between a German police officer and an American one:

 

I keep seeing this political cartoon and really don't know what to make of it.

 

"Americans for Limited Government" kinda tells you their slant

 

Don't even need to know the author to see their slant. Complete misrepresentation of their message as well as Trump comments. Not to mention, to make Trump look better than 4 attractive women is really telling! ...It is garbage.

 

Did any of the four of them say America stinks?
I don't think so.

Also, that is the quote of Trump that had angered people. It is still racist, but not the most racist part.

Any more than that is a waste of time.

 

Yeah, too many snowflakes get triggered by the word "white." They feel personally attacked even though what's being attacked is the privilege.

I think it's perfectly descriptive and accurate. These people just need to put on their big boy pants and deal with it. At most, other types of privileges should be pointed out. I try to point out my male, class, and sexual orientation privilege whenever I'm explaining white privilege.
