I'm pretty sure most people could distinctly differentiate The Pulaski Klan and the BLM movement.

if that was the distinction at play, then my apologies I misunderstood. I thought it was about the Democrats/Republicans of today vs the Republicans/Democrats of yesterday.

I wouldn't expect a God of the Gaps argument from a guy who posts Ben Shappiro and Larry Elder videos. You're definitely not typical I'll give ya that. And yeah the destruction of the family unit is a problem- but it's a problem largely because Reagan Bush and Clinton were trying to score cheap political points by putting more black people in jail. Esp. for crack which more or less carried a life sentence. Hard to keep your family together if Daddy's in jail.

It starts at home. We need family structure, guidance, and mentors. A lot of kids, no matter the race struggle every day making good choices. I had a father in my home my entire childhood I still struggled with expectance, depression, and sometimes I wondered if it would be easier to take my own life. I can’t imagine what Iife is like for kids who don’t have structure at young ages to help them along the way. While I agree it’s in the interest of politicians to keep folks down and play the game so to speak they all do some disgusting things just to get re elected.

I don't actually, and I hear ya on that. Definitely plenty of white people who get the shaft too. But some races get the shaft more than others and the research seems to back that up.

If you were to swap the percentages out there of which race statistically engages in more criminal activity, thus ending up in the judicial system, would the legal shaft follow that race in higher percentages or would the current shafting level stay the same?

If it were to stay the same, there’s a judicial bias that needs addressing immediately. If it changed then what needs addressing might be the circumstances at the root cause of a race being in the higher percentage of committing crimes.

There are a lot of wheels in motion right now to reform major cities. It's difficult at the national level to get what's going on because a lot of Democrats are complacent on this issue. Long story short the main reforms involve less cops and less money for police, especially in poor areas, because there's a long track record of police doing more harm than good.

do we have anything to actually make that comparison? Do we have poor inner city areas that aren't policed vs some that are to unequivocally say "no/less police is better"? I know there have been a number of "free" towns or neighborhoods tried out all over the place. They almost literally always burn down.

A lot of things need revamping. You’ll always have bad police officers, District Attorneys, and judges. It’s completely unfair to walk out in the street and lump everyone under the same umbrella however.

Everyone as a whole needs to take responsibility for their actions and hold accountability high. Some folks actually believe they’re invincible no matter what they do or say.

In all seriousness, If your Democrat, Republican, or otherwise anyone get the feeling she laughs at all of us when the camera is off?

I wouldn’t begin to know what goes through that woman’s head. At the same time, the argument could be made for Trump too.

Maybe the next president can actually MAGA.

Wouldn't that be nice?

It can't get much better than where Trump had it pre-China virus. Unfortunately the liberal left are to stupid to realize how great things were going.

Hopefully things are getting back to pre-virus terms. The stock market is taking off again and people are once again going back to work.

I voted for the man that doesent mean I like everything he says or does. I just won’t vote for anyone who is connected to the deaths of our service men and women who give her the right to say whatever she pleases.

Do we have any democrats present?

I’d like to know how they feel about the coming election and whether or not they believe Joe can win.

No, this isn’t a post to attack you or shame you. I’m interested in opinions.

personally, with what he says or doesent say I don’t think he can win. Much like his opponent he doesent miss opportunities to fully insert his foot in his mouth. That in the end will cost him votes in important states.

This is what it's come to. Citizens trying to be in charge. Trying to tell people what to do. Trying to make people feel guilty. For what? It's like your kids figuring out a gotcha and running the house and you being afraid they will get the wrong idea if you tell them no.

We have several dems here. I can only imagine the panic going on within the DNC. They likely forgot how incompetent he is while he was hiding in his bunker

To those who emphatically denied my post that Barr unlawfully caused tear gas and rubber bullets to be fired into a law abiding crowd Trump’s order secretary today stated that the WH had no regrets. The President once again engages in selective law breaking (Lafayette Sq) the latest of a long list

When did Robert Byrd switch parties again? Grand Wizard of the KKK got to be the majority leader of the Democrats.....but you know, it's the Republicans.

Grand Wizard, lol. You forgot to included the photo-shopped picture of Byrd in the robe.

“Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation,” stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. “Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country.

“Senator Byrd came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda, doing well on the NAACP Annual Civil Rights Report Card. He stood with us on many issues of crucial importance to our members from the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, the historic health care legislation of 2010 and his support for the Hate Crimes Prevention legislation,” stated Hilary O. Shelton, Director of the NAACP Washington Bureau and Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Policy. “Senator Byrd was a master of the Senate Rules, and helped strategize passage of legislation that helped millions of Americans. He will be sorely missed.”

Yeah this is the guy that became the "majority leader of the Democrats", either party should be proud of having him.
