Racism is firmly entrenched in our history from slavery to the treatment of blacks over the last 150 years, in the way we established our laws as a constant reminder that they were once, only property, including our Constitution. Prior to his untimely death, Lincoln was seriously considering returning slaves to Africa. Perhaps this would have been the best way. That way they could have entered this country later and only be treated poorly as an immigrant, like the Italians, Irish, Asians, Mexicans. and Jews..
Or commission another three blue-water Capital ships in one day while our Navy holds LGBTQ Sensitivity Training...Soooo dumb... China laughs at us... while we argue about stuff being racist... they build another missile or place another island fortress in the South China Sea.
They don't need training in that... I thought everyone knew 300 men go on a boat, 150 couples come off.Or commission another three blue-water Capital ships in one day while our Navy holds LGBTQ Sensitivity Training...

There are plenty of people who support policing reform who will engage with you in an academic discussion if you're willing to be open to changing your views.
1. Does the math really show endemic racism in police or is it just a few bad apples?
Here's an article from John McWhorter, a black professor who tends to lean libertarian, where he purports that policing needs to be reformed, but that black people are not killed at a disproportionate rate compared to white people. He gives a number of reasons why black people are more likely to encounter police and why the narrative has continued, but he doesn't believe that police kill because of bigotry. He believes many of the issues come about because of poverty, and more black people are poor, proportionately.

2. The fast majority of these people wouldn't have encountered the police if they weren't doing something illegal.
Tim Scott, a black Republican senator, gave a speech a few years ago about the number of times he's been pulled over for driving too nice of a car. There are plenty of stories from black millionaires who said they were pulled over for "not looking like they belong there." There was a Louis Vuitton designer who was stopped and frisked because they didn't think he looked like the kind of person who should be carrying a LV shopping bag. Obviously these are all anecdotal examples, but the statistics also show that black people are profiled at a much higher rate.

And most black people will gladly say that things are better than before, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't continue to improve.

Please list for me all races/ethnicities/genders that are immune from being treated poorly. I'm a straight white Republican man.... pretty much the least popular class of human on earth right now. When should I start demanding the education and enlightenment of those who disapprove of me in order to enact real change?
BLM and Antifa are just the flip side of the Confederate flag folks, basically racist dumbasses. ISIS is a terrorist outfit supposedly supporting Islamic values and overall the worst of the bunch.And waving a BLM, Antifa, ISIS flag is......?
which version of ron howard?
this one?
or this one?
or this one?
or finally this one?
first or fourth one i can see being upset, second one would be a compliment, and the third one. don't get seen hanging around playgrounds or elementary schools
White, republican, male, TCU degree, concealed carry license here, don't hate me.
Well, that conceal and carry should solve any problem he has with those nature muffins. Granted those states may not honor his second amendment rights there, but in immediate danger he can solve his own problems.Never ever travel to Berkeley, Portland or Seattle!
That is an easy pass on all of those for me - only redeeming quality left in any of those states is Bandon Dunes and Monterey Penisula golf coursesNever ever travel to Berkeley, Portland or Seattle!
One microagression noted is “they always ask if I am an athlete.” I always wear TCU stuff and I am old and out of shape. I also get asked if I played on a sports team at TCU. I was not aware that I should be offended by that. I thought it was just a thing that people ask sometimes.

Wow.
What hardships have you faced in your life because you are a straight white man?
29 kids go in the water. 22 kids come out of the water. Ice cream man, he take the rest.They don't need training in that... I thought everyone knew 300 men go on a boat, 150 couples come off.
