Joe Miner Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Just now, Reality Check said: That is a brilliant observation. I would include the racist teachers' unions also and the administrations for not address their attacks on the minds of black people. I'm pretty sure if anyone wants to have an honest discussion about education, crime, or any other bad looking statistics that we would agree there are many problems and many factors that play into them. Bad/poorly thought out laws, poor administration leadership, corrupt administration leadership, Union issues, bad candidate selection, keeping low performers employed, etc.. Are all issues that plague most govt establishments. Economic, family, culture, drugs, low expectations, etc... are all issues that plague most of our communities. Combining govt issues and community issues are going to result in bad outcomes far too often for anyone to be happy about. Is racism a problem in both areas, sure. But it's not the leading cause of these issues. 1

Four if one counts climate change, I guess. And even before that he subjugated himself to Putin, blew out the treasury, and did next to nothing to keep any of his campaign promises. Any time he wants to get moving on “MAGA-ing” is fine with me. Or is it “Keep America Great?” I can’t remember what BS slogan he’s using these days.

plenzmd1 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 21 minutes ago, whatdrought said: I agree with all of this. The thing that seems so obvious to me (and many may disagree) is that these black and minority communities where we see more poverty, less education, and more crime, have been run by Democrats since the 60's and have been the beacons of the welfare state in our country since then. Purely anecdotal here, but In my work I have seen the effects of a generational reliance on the government chit, be it food stamps, cyclical unemployment, wic, disability (without actually being disabled to a point of not being able to work). It kills people's drive to better themselves and improve and it leads to generations of apathy that bleeds into every area of life. That's not just minorities either, but in the inner city areas of our country where welfare was born we see it the worst. Again, that's my 2.4 cents (adjusted for inflation) as much as i despise Trump, the one thing I always told my MAGA friends was he nailed the "what do you have to lose" piece when speaking to black voters during the last election 3

Same thing with Powerball. Stoooo-pid. Invest that couple of bucks a week. I was saying they are examples of unified speech, based on the heretofore acknowledgement of kneeling as such (ergo). I wear jerseys on occasion, usually with duct tape and a handwritten name of the current player assigned the number. I don't wear them beyond wacthing the Bills play on TV in my basement or to a game (and often not to a game) as I feel the jersey make me look skinny. I also apparently have some odd tactile thing going on, as I find them uncomfortable generally and also find myself really enjoying the feel of the cool flat texture of the quartz countertops we installed in our kitchen a couple years back. And freshly cut boxwoods. I used to play Powerball when the jackpot hit a hundo-mill+. One time, I had two numbers and truly thought "Wow! That was close!". That was in spite of being around 50, trying to take the sensible, slow and steady approach to building wealth over time.

Some people tweeted a screenshot of someone claiming to be him saying that he's ok and it was stupid of him to try to take on all those people with a sword. Not sure what to believe. With it being so easy to get angry over all of this, I'm just trying to make sure I'm angry over the truth. I think the anger can be directed at the mob that beat this guy savagely, the people who stood around and watched it happen, and the fact that he's disposable to the 'media' that refuses to air this sort of thing when telling a story. He's like the retired police officer, the elderly female shop owner beaten, the police officers shot/killed/run over/injured/dragged by the crowds, and at this point, like George Floyd. Let's be honest, even if he was "attacking" people with a sword (v. defending his property from looters), all they had to do was try and follow Wisdom From Joe: they could have tried to hit him in the leg. 1
Sig1Hunter Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 32 minutes ago, plenzmd1 said: but it is the conversation that needs to had. The evidence is incontravertible that arrest rates and convictions are much higher in the black population. Can a small percentage of that be ascribed to systemic racism? Sure, i am sure a small amount, and for a number of reasons. The lareger issue is you state above. I think it boils down more to economics and education...lower social economic folks tend to commit the most crime..i think that has been the case since time immororium. Just happens that a greater percentage of those folks in US society are minorties. I think the conversation needs to start there, at the grass roots level of educational review. Its not necessarily a money thing, as spend per student is highest in some of our poorest areas. And i dont have the answers right now, but i do know that this economy is moving more and more towards the have and have nots..and the haves have skills and education opportunities...until we can figure out how to tackle the education question, i think there will always be this divide. where did that stat come from? Not debating it at all, and it needs to be part of the conversation, just would appreciate the link. Again , two things can be right...why cant we have a discussion that encompasses all the facts The economics, education, etc that have caused or allowed a large portion of the black community to be mired in criminality is not at issue for the cop on the street that suddenly finds himself/herself in a violent struggle. Their only thought is to make sure they are safe and their community is safe. If the actions of the suspect (black, white, green, or yellow) reveal a threat to the life of the officer or another, that officer is justified in the use of deadly force. If that suspect is killed, he becomes a statistic to be used and abused for political purposes. Meanwhile, the cops that are just trying to keep themselves and their community safe feel the brunt of those political shenanigans. They are called racist. Spit on. Attacked. If the underlying issue is the political machine, let’s fight that. . Let’s stop the constant attack on the good, ethical, and moral police officers that protect this country on a daily basis. 99% of officers fall into this category. The George Floyd case is one we can all seemingly get behind. Black, white, blue. It’s turned into screams to defund racist police. With commentators, athletes, politicians all fanning flames and talking about systemic racism in law enforcement as it is unconverted fact. It isn’t a fact. 1 2 1

Which President recounted a story of his grandmother switching the side of the street because there were black youth on the sidewalk? What was the reaction from the left? Which President, after that event, never took a "controversial" position whenever a racial issue popped up in his terms? Who personalized the Trayvon Martin incident? Under whose terms did racial strife worsen? What did the great communicator do to diffuse the tensions, instead of ratcheting them up? 2 1
