That story about the pistol shoved in the belly of a pregnant woman and many others like it have spread like wildfire in the wake of the George Floyd killing. Snopes, Politifact and others rate this story as flat out false but once again so much energy being put into discrediting the victim of this tragedy and legitimizing his killing. It may be cheaply satisfying to fantasize about summary executions of vicious criminals but vigilantism is the edge of a slippery slope and any time it gets away on us innocent people suffer with the guilty and mob rule lynch people for no more reason than their religion or the color of their skin. Frankly your post seems racially charged. Did you have the same reaction when Dylan Roof shot all those black people in their church?

It doesn't matter who is elected, Republican or Democrat. On January 20 that person is sworn in, on January 21 they are sworn at. In Trump's case, he does everything faster. He was both sworn in and sworn at on January 20, 2017.

You guys started down that slippery slope in Portland and Roof needed to be killed too!

Given the ethnic diversity of our nation racism will always be... The best we can do is try and recognize the only limitations we have are those we impose on ourself...

It isn’t just Black Lives Matter, all lives matter. If they truly want to matter there are certainly enough social programs offered up to help them.. It becomes a matter of them wanting to do it. Respect is earned not demanded. This black lives movement is nothing more than a movement because it’s not genuine on either side. All it has done is made it a deep-seated hatred now and once again.Same with the garbage on white supremacist, its garbage!

Those things thrive because people choose to play them up rather than working towards a mutual understanding of each other, color be damned.!!!

Isolation can not prevent you from acquiring the virus, it just takes longer to get it. Well, unless you stay in hiding all your life. If a very good vaccine ever comes about then that changes. Look at FLU, at best it's 50%
effected. Hundreds of thousands die from the FLU every year even with a vaccine.
As I said, it's an act of GOOD. No power on earth can stop it. Not even Biden, lol.

I am opposed to all that bullshit. As far as my being a racist goes, if I allowed morons a peek into my personal life you might have the opportunity to see how stupid that remark was.

Seth

Trump doesn't get "called out when he screws up," he gets slandered, attacked and "investigated" every second of every day for no other reason that he beat Hillary and dried up the easy money corruption picnic for too many Democrats. anti-Trumpers have zero credible arguments for this, most of it is simply ignorant dislike or hatred for the man while ignoring accomplishments that have benefited millions of people.

Only a mentally lame person could call what Trump has been enduring since he was elected "criticism."

Seth

Ain't that the truth!

Seth

Extremely well put.

Division and hatred?
No just truth and justice.

Among the actual few obstacles faced by blacks -- and I mean few, is their penchant for following the wrong role models and listening to the wrong people, such as other blacks whose livelihoods consist of race mongering, like Al Sharpton or Maxine Waters, or the ones who allow the Democrats and the mainstream media to convince them that they live in a racist society where they don't stand a chance without the Democrats having their backs. Those who learn to think for themselves, realistically examine the things they're being told by the Democrats and weigh them against reality tend to achieve and usually begin voting to the right while those who are too lazy to question what they're being fed stay right where they are or travel downhill into the abyss of crime, drugs and prison.

Any way you look at it, though, it's all on them: how badly do they want to get out of the poverty cycle and what do they want in their personal pursuits of happiness?

I have a number of successful black and Latino friends and colleagues, some of whom reached adulthood by way of the projects, who looked forward rather than back and wanted a normal American lifestyle -- worked for it, and achieved it.

Look at two prominent models for this: Thomas Sowell was raised poor in Harlem and dropped out of high school. Now he is a college professor, a published author and well known in political circles.

Candace Owens grew up on welfare, look where she is today.

Both are disliked by "liberals" in part because they're outspokenly conservative and have the fame and credibility to influence blacks to rethink their relationships with the Democratic Party, and in part because they both succeeded without needing help from the Democrats.
