Race in America - Riots Explode in Chicago

[Peter Brown]

… really hard to call it a race war when black and white Americans are fighting on the same side.

Nonsense. Its guilty liberal progressive whites at war with the rest of us.

On the contrary, it is treasonous hate filled reich wing delusionals who are at war with the USA.

Respectfully......it is people like you Brooklyn, that propagate the issue, the more you say it, push an agenda, blanket all whites as, ect, etc....it WILL never go away. It is people like you that are part of the problem, and the sad part is that you do not see it.

I thought Portland was calm now that the Feds are gone? What happened? Did someone fail to inform the 'protesters' that they needed to be 'peaceful'?

Your reply to 6ftstick is noticeably absent. When you think about it (that is, if you can) it is the double standards employed by right wingers like yourself that are the real problem in the USA.

Oh by the way (to repeat) the majority of BLM supporters here in the Twin Cities are actually white. This in contrast to the delusionalism spewed by you and your pal 6ft.

Comprehension is a terrible thing to waste.

Comprehension is a terrible thing to waste.

Yes, especially by those who claim that they have ignored my posts for the past few years.

“We want to show them that even out here in your little neck of the woods where you don’t have to see people you hate, we know the hatred is still here and we don’t have to tolerate it.”

Undoubtedly attempting to change hearts and minds and not looking for a fight.

Those idiots people wearing Nazi masks and the BlM protestors do not understand that Freedom of expression is not freedom from consequences.

But regardless of what side your on, be wary of those consequences.

What a country. And the dems are doing so well with it.

Minneapolis Police informed residents of the city’s embattled 3rd Precinct to prepare for the giving up of their personal belongings to potential robbers and advised them to do as criminals say for their own safety.

According to a July 28 email the Minneapolis Police Department offered “prevention tips” to residents hoping to avoid being a victim of the skyrocketing cases of robbery and carjacking that have plagued the city since George Floyd’s death in May.

“Robberies and Carjacking’s [sic] have increased in our Precinct,” the email begins. “Cell phones, purses, and vehicles are being targeted. Some victims have been maced, dragged, assaulted, and some threatened with a gun. Most of these crimes have occurred north of 42nd St. E. 100 Robberies and 20 Carjackings have been reported to 3rd Precinct Police in July alone. Downtown and Southwest Minneapolis have seen an increase as well. We want those who live and work here to be safe!”

The email goes on to list several tips that citizens can supposedly use to protect themselves, which includes letting criminals have what they want:

Do not walk alone
Be hyper-aware of your surroundings at all times – pay attention!
Carry only items you need, and carry less cash
Be prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet
Have keys already in your hand as you approach your car
Despite all our efforts, robberies may still occur! Do not argue or fight with the criminal. Do as they say. Your safety is most important!

… like these warnings are something new. Never happened before, anywhere , anytime, and certainly not in a city with a republican major.

... more republican dumb ass-ism.

You know, JHU72, as you belittle the heightened dangers of cities now as Democrat mayors side with anarchists, untold number of people who need to get to work, who like to work, no longer feel safe getting to work. More often than not, these are young ladies of color, of faith, honest people, scared to travel because the cities they live in are no longer safe. This is the real life results you diminish because Orange Man Bad. Disgusting.

YAWN. More blowhard bloviation.

What else is the liberal progressive bloviator going to do but reduce dangerous civil unrest, violence, 100's millions in small business losses, and rising criminality—due to negligence of liberal progressive mayors and governors—to republican dumbass-ism.

Minneapolis looks like Beirut in the 70's. Good on you dems.

The muslims living in minneapolis wanted it to seem more like home I guess.

Racist, ignorant, bigoted post by 6ftstick.

Anyone disagree?

i think it depends on what definition of racism you are using. are lebanese whites exempt.

at least the ones in California are.

says who? the lebanese in California. https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me- ... rica-race/

Labeling people is critical to understanding and knowing everything about them:

Black, White, LGBT, Q, Christian, Muslim, Hindi, Indigenous, Dreamer, introvert, extrovert...

[youthathletics]

If we do not label, then how are we supposed to call each other racists.

[CU77]

Good to know that we still have military commanders who actually understand what it is that they are sworn to defend.

Of course Rear Admiral Green is the same commander who announced his retirement after Trump cut his legs out from underneath him during the Gallagher debacle. This President has a way of driving out the good ones. I believe he’s out in the new year.

Ah. Of course. The trumpista fascists march on.

[ChairmanOfTheBoard]

If we do not label, then how are we supposed to call each other racists.

especially if the labels are (1) fluid, (2) applied differently, and (3) will cause more prejudice.

What “white” means has its roots in what freedoms and liberties are extended to you (global use of the word “you”. Not personal). The defining term originated in the late 1690s for the sole purpose of extending freedoms and liberties for one group and restrictions for the other. There is lot of case law as to what defines “white” or colored, negro or black etc. it wasn’t something people came out with of the air. It was a legal construct.

[a fan]

Should have thought of that, oh, about two hundred years ago.

Or recently, when we did things like make gay marriage illegal. Or make it illegal for black Americans to go to college. Or live where they want. Or, or, or.......

You realize that THAT is the problem, right? American conservatives messing with anyone who wasn't a white male of the "right" religion?

Yep, the libs in 2020 can get annoying. No question there. But if American conservatives didn't play these stupid games with what you look like, who you pray to, or who you love? We wouldn't be dealing with this in 2020.

Next time? Don't spend so much time telling your fellow Americans what they can or can't do. Pretty sure everyone would have appreciated that approach.

[ChairmanOfTheBoard]

while i agree with that, it is focused on the past.

going forward, the labels don't serve a purpose other than the nefarious.

if lebanese are white (are they?)(they claim they are!), and you cannot be racist against whites, then the answer to Doc's question is no. not racist.

OR, is it that racism means racism against any color (no exemptions).

Thomas Jefferson did and hated it, so much so he planned the battle of Tripoli to stop it...especially when he saw muslims harboring slaves of all ethnicity.

You are just picking a fight or stuck in history as CotB eludes.
