For someone who despises the left, you sure seem to know a lot about what the left stands for. Where exactly do you get this information from because it just seems like right wing talking points.

No, you are reading into things in order to throw out your talking points and canned phrases. I will point out that you didnāt even answer the question. In fact, I would say your post is the bigoted one since I didnāt say blacks were more prone to commit crimes but simply that they live in those areas where crime is more pervasive. Unlike you, I donāt look at all blacks who live in high crime areas as criminals.
Thatās what Iām trying to get at.
The FBI U.C.R. actually indicated that 44% of Police killed in the Line of Duty are killed by Black people?
I am a big history buff. While I agree the toxic atmosphere demonstrate by people on the left is disturbing, itās nothing compared to the Civil War. The Civil War is what should have destroyed the country. It was the ultimate test. The small minority, ranting mobs of gender benders and tribalist war mongers canāt compare to the test of democracy that was the Civil War. Itās that perspective that gives me comfort that, this like many other things will be delegated to the scrap heap of things that were trendy.
The left nor the right are not left unchecked, itās a battle, a constant one, but the tension seems to keep the majority of the country safely in the middle.
The historic number, since there isnāt data for the most recent years, is 40% of officers murdered are killed by black suspects, not 40% of all officer deaths.
Iāve said before most blacks; the great majority, are good law abiding people. Read for comprehension, kid.
Considering most victims of black crimes are other blacksā¦ whatās your virtue signaling answer to this fact ?
You criminal cuckolds are truly a pitiful lot.
More alt-right terminology. Do you have a mind of your own robocop? The funny thing is, you are pretty much a leftist anyway with your commie union.
Outstanding, @pat.
Agree.
The powers that be on both sides want people to view the extreme elements of the other side as representing the whole. So every liberal is Antifa and every conservative is a Nazi. This way no one listens to the reasonable majority on the other side and starts to see that maybe, on some issues, they have a point.
The reasonable middle makes for boring news cycles. Media hypes up the extremes to elicit a reaction. For instance, if the media didnāt pay any attention to Kaepernickās āprotestā, nobody would have been the wiser and all this hullabaloo would not have played out like it has.
But they took something benign and irrelevant and made it a hot button issue.
The news went from reporting the news to creating the news. Itās not a new phenomenon, it just took a while for people to catch on.
Theyāve caught on? Iirc all of the big news networks have seen growth year over year. People have a weird way of catching on to things lol
More people are aware of it then they were before. I am not sure how that would affect viewership. It may be that people are in more general cynical of what they here on the news. But people do tend to gravitate toward their echo chambers, particularly when things do not appear to go their way.
I myself, rarely watch the news. I read it mostly, that way I can skip over the Kardashianās when they come up. But I still use standard media outlets as well as other things, but I look at both sides even if I am repulsed by the āotherā at times.
I donāt think itās wise to dismiss standard media even if a lot of it is just click-bait. I am cynical about the media and take it with a grain of salt.
The stories I tend to despise are the ones that talk about what some ijit said on twitter. As if twitter isnāt bad enough, you have to embellish this sewage vessel with a news story.
My observations are that on a given news story the first two paragraphs are the actual news and the rest of the story is the writerās opinion on it. Itās not a hard rule and excludes actually well researched and thought out op-eds that dig deeper into a story. Itās what I generally observe.
However, if there is something big going on like Hurricane Harvey, I will watch the news for that.
Right, agreed. I just wish people cared lol
I do. The only way back from the clickbait infused sensationalist 280 character media is by not consuming it, therefore effecting the bottom line.
I think itās usually more reflective of āthis is what said ijit believes.ā
Like when the POTUS derptweets out. Itās worrisome because heās the president, not because itās on twitter
And reading actual newspapers like the NYT.
I am not on twitter, or any social media for that matter. And if itās the POTUS, I can understand a story. However, when they pick some random, unknown person and write a story about what they tweeted, itās got to be a slow news day or more likely horrific journalism.

Sad commentary on the divisive political climate. This family adopted an orphan from Ethiopia and got negative feedback from complete idiots on both the right and the left, both caught up in their flavor of identity politics.
I have to hope that most people are more reasonable and positive, not hung up on race. I hope. Iām sure interactions with the racists and vocal idiots of all stripes would stick in your memory.
We have more people intermarrying in the US and Europe than ever before, so youād hope that acceptance of mixed families is improving overall.

āRace-cucking?ā Is there nothing those alt-right cellar dwellers wonāt attach the word cuck to?
As for the lefties who talk a big game: are they going to make up the difference if white families donāt adopt children of color? Itās easy for them to choose ācultureā over eating.

Oh, Iām sure. Sounds like two writers (of a political nature, too) getting trolled online. Never, ever, ever, let the online world color your view of humanity.

Wise words,Sloth. We see extremes that make the headlines. And trolls making comments arenāt representative of the average person.
I had never heard this word, ācuckā until maybe a year ago. The minute someone says it, Iām going to form an immediate opinion.

Part of me thinks itās intentional. The alt right community has done us the service of allowing themselves to be easily identified.
Itās almost like a weird game. Who can use the word cuck in the most creative manner
