    There have been only 4 black congressmen from Louisiana since 1877, but no, it's not because they are racist you stupid liberals. All the back candidates were just too dumb for a job that important.

    The summery is this guy says yes, but he doesn't believe minorities being racist have any power to oppress majority populations, but then he wraps it back around by saying because minorities don't have that power, it's actually no.

    This is just fckery with language for no reason. The point can be made minorities don't have a lot of function power to create systemic racism for majority populations... ok. The effort to expand that to needlessly say minorities can't be racist just seems like bullshit, and to use his talk - functionally pointless and inflammatory.

    And then to top it off, black people exist outside of America, blacks aren't a minority of every nation. Needed to be titled black americans.

    He didn't say anything like that, respond to his actual post, if he's so wrong it should be easy?

    Sounds like many police forget they are PAID by a socialist program, that is literally where they get their money.

    It's so crazy to me how many on the right are claiming "racism is dead". I'm from a southern family. My mom once told me when I was like 12 "if you ever come home with a black girl I'll disown you". That's not something you forget. She also tore the poster off the wall of Horry, Drexler, and Olajuwon because they were black.

    That's everywhere where I live. IMO it's even deeper than just racism, its hatred.

    Good morning everyone.
    The weather is finally breaking here in upstate New York.
    Just want to urge everyone here to go out and be the best person you can be today.

    Time to plant the seedlings and my hippie lettuce clones.

    OK, now do white defensive backs in the NFL. Not everyone is suited for every job equally. Why is that notion so difficult to accept?


    GOOD DAY

    The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race, is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.

    Why are most major Democrat media pushes based on dishonest and manipulated information? Sure seems like everything they show outrage over is fake. By now it’s obvious that George Floyd died of a drug overdose.

    Like how, exactly? The data shows discrimination based on race, sex, and other biases is happening consistently and measurably. Anytime anyone discriminates, should they pay a fine? Go to jail? Should the victim be compensated? What's the actual mechanism, because we all know "just stop" isn't a plan and is as effective as "just say no" to drugs.

    We don't control the behavior of private citizens. We do control the laws of the nation. Have all laws make no mention of race, and there is no discrimination on the basis of race in the law. No law should treat people differently on the basis of their immutable characteristics (which should have been obvious from the Equal Protection clause), be it race, sex, sexual orientation, handedness, height, age, etc.
