Structural racism doesn't have anything to do you you an as individual, it's about policy structures. As it pertains to wealth in present day America, the most egregious form of structural racism occurred after WWII and lasted for about 50 years. Access to low interest, federally insured home mortgages allowed tens of millions of working class white families to own homes, accrue equity in those homes and pass that on to the next generation. This program literally generated 10's of billions dollars of wealth for mostly white families. Maybe your grandparents or parents didn't benefit from home ownership and build modest wealth. But most white families were able to, and there was nothing they did that was wrong! But access to the same low interest federal mortgage programs were denied to working black families. The polices were racist, and persisted into the 90's.

Are you open to the possibility that we all benefited from structural racism without knowing it was happening?

Holy *****. I just learned that the police bombed a black neighborhood in Philadelphia in 1985 in a standoff with a black extremist group. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2015/05/18/407665820/why-did-we-forget-the-move-bombing https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/10/move-1985-bombing-reconciliation-philadelphia#img-2

So it wasn't actually circulated by an MSNBC reporter, just someone looking to stir up more *****.

Which MSNBC reporter circulated it?

No, I mean MSNBC didn't use that clip. Some dick edited it to make it look like that.

That's a fake.

So here's a purported copy of the Trump / Epstein affidavits in the southern district of NY. Anyone else watch the new Epstein series on Netflix? https://www.scribd.com/doc/316341058/Donald-Trump-Jeffrey-Epstein-Rape-Lawsuit-and-Affidavits

All of the rioters are black? That's bull####.

The rules were setup requiring people receiving assistance to maintain poverty in order to keep receiving housing, food and health insurance. It didn't have to be that way, the rules could have helped people get ahead. And there were several government subsidized programs that helped several generations of Americans do just that. After WWII the government subsidized and insured low interest mortgages for tens of million of American families who were able to own a home, build equity and pass it on to their children. Tens of billions of dollars of wealth were created through home ownership for working class white America. This program was denied to working and middle class black people for 50 years following WWII. Instead they were redlined into housing projects.

Not going to argue with that. The rules of the welfare state that LBJ instituted were incredibly racist.

It's encouraging that some police officers are acknowledging that they need to be part of the solution. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2020/05/31/in-some-cities-police-officers-joined-protesters-marching-against-brutality/amp/

Richard Nixon was one of the architects of advancing a racist agenda by denying the existance of racism.

In 1968, Richard Nixon lectured the American people on national television about the Unified States being the model of racial equality for 100 years.

The oldest camera store in Chicago was looted and burned down. Here's the 3rd generation owner being interviewed as the store his grandfather started burned: https://twitter.com/filming_chicago/status/1266953940064763905?s=20

I watched it, I think the girl recording is genuinely shocked that they tried to get into the truck. And then is horrified at seeing someone killed in front of her.

That's a big part of this too. Young kids full of piss and vinegar doing dumb ass ***** for kicks.

Chicago's on curfew now and the mayor is about to send the police to do mass arrests. Should be a long night.

I'm not accusing you of anything. As your attorney, I advise you rent a fast car with no top... and you'll need the cocaine... I did think it was relevant in a conversation about a pending civil war to note that one of the leaders of the white supremecist movement is saying that these protests and riots are a jewish media conspiracy to wage civil war against white people.

I don't know man. You think a civil war is a better idea than working to reconcile? Here's a different Duke's take on civil war today:

A different conclusion-- it would appear we're due for civil reconciliation.

There were four officers involved who were fired on Monday. So you're saying go f yourself. Got it.

There's no leaders of antifa, and no formal structure. So any moron can show up to public demonstrations clad in black and do whatever they want... I did hear a leading civil rights attorney, Lee Merritt, articulate two needs to address unjust killing of people at the hands of the police. One is federal legislation that revokes implied immunity so that officers need to have actual threats to administer lethal force. Under current law, officers only need the say they believed there was a threat to their lives to be found not guilty of wrong death. So objective guidelines in the use of lethal force is one rather than subjective standards. And two, they are pushing for comminity review boards of police conduct so that the community has the right to review the actions of officers who police them.

Ha, or paint it Bills colors and turn it into a Bills Mafia tailgate item next to the red pinto.

We can disagree about a lot of things, but we can agree that the feds should take down extremists of any political spectrum evoking violence and destruction in the street.
