Yeah, lauding accused rapists is a pretty shitty thing to do.
You seem to not care about the specifics of this particular case before forming an opinion.
Funny how that works, huh?

So you are comparing that to Jacob Blake. You are comparing this woman that came out of nowhere to accuse Trump to Blake’s situation where he had a police report filed against him and a restraining order put on him.... That’s ignorant.
All the times Biden has been accused

I didn't state an opinion on it.

Oof. That one is going to sting.

I didn't say you stated one. I said you formed one.
You do have one, right?

Not at all. I'm comparing the reactions to each.
And yeah, Biden is a creep as well. Won't see me defending it.

Not really. The accused has a long history of similar accusations against him, just as Biden does.
My point was more about the criticism over lauding Blake, when a lot of those same people laud our president who has been credibly accused of doing the same thing. As has Joe Biden. As has Bill Clinton.

Their leadership embraces critical race theory and have opnely stated they are Marxists and have been trained in Marxists tactics to foment and bring about "revolution". To sum it up, Antifa and BLM are marching under the same umbrella.
All true. Unfortunately, And where things get messy, everyday people who decide to march for rights on the ground for black lives, arent aware of what critical race theory is. Not many people are, and even fewer people can adequately describe it. And that’s all by design. Critical race theory, and by example marxists naming a group Black Lives Matter, creates neat little traps where it is difficult to argue against them without sounding like you are a bigot.
“So you are against BLM?! Black lives don’t matter to you!” While obviously it is the extremist, dangerous aspects of the organization that many of us are against, not the statement. Im reading a good book about critical race theory and post-modernism right now. Im hoping after I am through with it I have more substantial, intelligible words and arguments to rebuke these things, because without that it is all too abstract. Again though, post-modernism makes it abstract and difficult to discuss by design, all while other ideas and agenda are being pushed.
ETA: moved this from the football megathread per Tidesaint if anyone thought this came out of nowhere, haha.

My man.
Surge gets a little antsy in the pantsy if the Megathread goes off the track. I don't need him texting me all afternoon.

Yea, I saw that, and my first thought was, “Surge is going to have a meltdown and delete everything”.

The issue with this is that you are stereotyping all police as the same. Different people handled these different situations. Everyone in law enforcement is different. Some are older and more laid back. Some are proactive, some arent. As already been stated millions of interactions occur between white officers and minorities without shootings taking place. I can find two videos of white officers and minorities where a shooting didnt take place. Should I judge everything by those two videos or should I look at each interaction separately and objectively?
No matter what a person believes or side someone may be on its definitely going to be very hard to fix because there are so many issues needing resolving on so many levels.

If you cannot achieve equality of performance among people born to the same parents and raised under the same roof, how realistic is it to expect to achieve it across broader and deeper social divisions?

Guess who? Here is a hint. There is a 55% chance he does not remember saying this.

Nor will he remember using for political gain the falsified accusation that a man, now deceased, was driving drunk and killed members of his family, or plagiarizing speeches, or the countless times he's been caught being a racist, bigot, or misogynist. I hate that black people will only vote for him because he is a Democrat. Unfortunately, most of the people that were old enough to know that 80% of Republicans supported the Civil Rights Act are no longer lucid or around.

Yeah, the plagiarism thing has just sort of dropped off of the radar, hasn't it. In 1988 it sunk his candidacy. The news exposed it. Now...

That Republican party unfortunately is long gone. So is that Democratic Party. That was during an era where both parties had functional conservative and liberal wings.
If the Republican party wants more Black people, it has to look within itself and figure out how to appeal to conservative Black people who avoid the GOP because of racial issues and stop denying that it has one.

The same can be said for the democratic party as well now. The only difference is the dems are willing to spend millions of dollars trying to convince they support minorities in their campaign adds, which they do not.
The truth of the matter both parties have lost touch with Americans and who they are suppose to serve.

Give me some examples of this.
