There are few things in life more disingenuous than an argument that Democratic Presidents don't do enough for African-Americans, from a person who thinks that Democratic Presidents care too much about African-Americans.
Trump would put him in charge of the wall. Our preferred Director would put him against the wall! HAIL GRIMES!!!
More than the Republican /blue dog controlled Congress has done since 1994. For progress to occur the white tacr must share the pie more equally. You k now that you just dont want to share .And spare me the I don't see color bullshit
Good god man....the cops are supposed to be the good guys. I've known a few good ones but also too many who flaunt their authority and protect their own from criticism!
Come to think of it McMurphy as POTUS, Martini as Chief of Staff, Chief Bromden as Chmn Joint Chiefs and Nurse Ratched as Surgeon General would bring some semblance of sanity. The rest could make the Cabinet meaningful again!
just to add a couple more that probably have already been said, stopped providing federal money to prison's and also had far stronger over-sight by the DOJ on our own police forces to make sure they run better.
The Owens video shows the damage she does as the poster girl for a white nationalist movement. Of course she is nothing but a grifter. She used to believe Trump was a racist and was a liberal before she transformed into a GOP apologist
She's being charged with a misdemeanor, tho, because while what she did was try to put out a non-contract hit on him, the criminal offense is "filing a false police report". I don't know how much there is to see here.
Well, that was quick. A shame we can't deal with polite but even more damaging forms of conservatism here.
My entire life, I've always taken the side of the college boys against the townies. Because as bad as the college boys can get, the townies are inevitably worse. Correct again - https://www.yahoo.com/news/video-sh...mpted-lynching-at-indiana-lake-222244516.html
Or not. Pretty much. Some of them will be prosecuted, but there's a fair chance they'll walk, or get their hair stroked and receive a light-ish sentence. It's kinda one group doing the bidding of the other, when you get right down to it. The college boys can't have the blood directly on their hands... yet
You have a chance of talking to the college boys, because they get exposed to a broader world. The townies, forget about it. They're not listening and they're not changing.
I was reacting to the post up thread which appeared to indicate it's ok to shoot black men so long as you suspect them of a crime
We don't. The user posted it and I believe it has been @The Jitty Slitter who correctly points out that she reaches a huge audience on facebook in large part because of their busted shared news system.
That doesn't sound good. To give my townie high school credit, there was a lot of talk and trepidation before Oakland Tech came down for a track meet, Oakland Tech as the time being as black as a high school can get. (Grads included Rickey Henderson, the Pointer Sisters, and Huey Newton.) But people on both sides ended up being cool, it was just another meet. And we won.
Also because her videos have been spammed to the top by huge spend Facebook is not stupid and does not provide free lunch - its pay to play - so if you put huge money behind your "thought piece" you too can go viral
I know. My only point was that the user received a reply at all. My great-great-great, etc. uncle Confucius Garvey DuBois Prottu once said, "Boy, you wastin' water on weeds". Uncle Foosh was a man ahead of his time
That was like when East St. Louis Lincoln came to town. Well, except for us winning. I think we won discus (our guy went on to play football and throw the disc for the Iowa Hawkeyes) and the mile (our guy ran track and cross country for Northwestern). That was about it. Recorded my career best discus toss of 136'. Good enough for fourth. No points. Their alums include Al Joyner, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and I believe Miles Davis.
