I hope neither of you ever complains about racist police, then. You guys experienced probably the most openly racist behavior by a Police Officer I’ve heard of in any recent time and didn’t care enough to do anything but talk about it on a message board, apparently.
Edit: Do you think it’s possible that your memory of the event was clouded by alcohol?
I understand you’re likely trolling, but trolling using blatant victim blaming is pretty low, even for you. Its shitty, and i know you’ll double down on it just to rile me up, so ill be signing off.
What “victim blaming?” If your story were true, there would still be no victim. By your own admission, no one cared.
If you get riled up and feel the need to announce you’re signing off due to something on an internet message board, you probably need to stay off the internet altogether.
Two young fellows walk out to speak with Police. The black guy is immediately spun around, cuffed, and slammed into a vehicle. The white guy, presumably(since he went on to merely receive a stern lecture), doesn’t utter an objection to his friend’s mistreatment. Something was either left out or forgotten(alcohol), or you two did the world a disservice by not complaining.
There is a group that attends an environmental law conference in Oregon every year that my fiance attends. They hand out waterbottles, coozies and other swag. Their entire message is to kill yourself because overpopulation is the cause of all environmental problems. not joking. They don’t kill their ownselves because they need to spread the message apparently haha.
From her family name (Moore) it’s obvious her family belongs to the Amero-Liberian elite, who upon settling in Liberia in the 1840s established a carbon copy of the antebellum South with them being the planter class and the Africans being the indentured servants.
A tiny Americo-Liberian elite, dressing in frock coats and top hats ruled Liberia until the early 1990s while the rest of the population toiled in abject poverty.
For her, Texas was more oppressive because she wasn’t at the top of the pyramid.
The Bolshevik Revolution for example, also known as “hey, these guys are handing out freshly stolen booze, they must be all right!”
The rural peasantry were much smarter than the urban poor and killed and tortured every Bolshevik they could lay their hands upon.
Trevor Noah is holding a town hall discussion on the Daily Show with the BLM founders, discussing police defunding. He appears to be deeply shocked by the levels of police violence in the US.
Trevor, as he often likes to point out, comes from South Africa. This is a not-out-of-the-ordinary clip from a local news channel in SA.
I don’t think there is a black community just as there isn’t a white community. I do think the inner cities are their own culture, regardless of the color of the residents.
Angela Davis was in a talk show in the early 90s and when asked if college should be free, she answered, students should get paid to go to college. This was followed by much applause. As much as I believe college should, if not be free, be much lower cost, I am not crazy enough to think students should get paid.
I think you might be on board with a U.K. style system.
You get loans that are government backed, the fees are capped, you don’t start paying the loan back until you earn more than 18000 a year, and it’s cancelled after 30 years.
It is also incapable of causing bankruptcy, nor does it accrue much interest.
I forgot to add, and I don’t know how it works in the UK, but college should also have higher entrance standards. In the US we have a college for all mindset so many students who should not be in college go regardless (and usually drop out or are kicked out for academic reasons).
Our system is as bad on that front, to be honest. I think the Japanese have the right of it. The college sets entrance exams, and if you pass you can get in. If you don’t make the cut, you don’t.
Since Tony Blair’s push to have every student go to university we have:
Had declining standards and grade inflation.
Destroyed our trade base.
Created thousands of over-‘educated’ graduates who are totally unemployable.
A total shit heap of a situation that will implode in short order.
