Race in America - Riots Explode in Chicago

[tech37]

The way I see it, only some black lives matter to BLM. Specifically the one's who are killed by white cops.
Meanwhile, I don't seem to hear much about how they care about these black lives.

The discussion is being had, just not in the right places. I often go to a black friends church, he is an associate pastor. I pick and chose when I go....they enjoy being in church a bit longer, like hours...and one of the only white people getting up to leave early ain't gonna look too good. Although,he told me don't worry, man I don't like being there all that time either on most days.

IMO, this is where BHO really missed a huge opportunity, as do most leaders that caught up in the BS of everything else.

BLM would be wise to blow up their current leadership team and adopt a more unified, in-touch leadership team. I also believe that a singular message from this new leadership team would go a very long way, it goes something like this.....

"We forgive you", then allow the healing to further begin.

While that would be noble, forgiveness is typically provided after an apology is presented first. Whether that apology has been provided or not, the BLM folks don't believe it has.

What apology are u referring to and do I apologize to the organization or the people in the street?

And, " BLM folks don't believe it has"... You know this how?

Do the BLM forgive you or the United States Government or the US Institutions? I have no idea why you take it personally. It’s strange.

This one has better flow:

The Dems exploded in the Portland suburbs last night. Riots and fights and fires.

Waking up babies + young kids + working class folks. Scaring elderly ladies.

Can they hurt their masters' election chances any more? Democrats must lose 100,000 votes every night they torch cities.

Personally, I hope they keep it up all the way through November 3rd!

In case you want to witness what the msm won't carry:

Meh. Most of those people have "pre-existing conditions". Doubly so for the elderly ladies.

F people with pre-existing conditions, right? They deserve what they get.

Heck, i'd wager most of those "working class folks" are obese, Pete. They don't matter.

And its another good things sick kids and their families don't matter either.

You need better news sources.

You posted a link to a Newsweek article ... a rag that recently published a racist birther op-ed against Kamala Harris.

The other story you linked to was from the NY Post, a Murdoch trash bin.

You are polluting your mind with garbage. Respectfully suggest you read more enlightened news sources.

So much easier to pretend the things YOU'VE enabled and encouraged "never happened."

Keeps you comfortable in your beliefs.

The political utility of violence: BLM and what happened at Ronald McDonald House in Chicago

By JOHN KASS
CHICAGO TRIBUNE |
AUG 15, 2020 AT 5:00 AM

While much of the focus has been on rationalizations for the looting, the violence did some horrible things to innocent human beings.

Like the parents of seriously ill children at the Ronald McDonald House in Chicago. It is a place of sanctuary and peace for families, a place to sleep and rest as they take turns at the hospital bedsides of their seriously ill children.

What happened was disgusting.

As looters raged early Monday morning, a group with hammers attacked the Ronald McDonald House, smashing windows to pieces, smashing doors.

If you’ve ever had a child in the hospital, you know the feeling of fear and panic building inside of you.
And add to that looting mobs that prevent you reaching your child’s bedside or getting a much-needed few hours’ sleep. And later you hear the rationalizations of a political actor telling you that history works that way.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/ ... story.html

SILENCE?

Wouldn't you expect some empathy from the father of a daughter with special needs.

Wouldn't you expect some condemnation from ANY of our leftist regulars.

Nah. Whatever it takes to get rid of Trump.

Who cares if you have to terrorize some sick children.

Excellent display of your mastery of the false equivalency. Congrats?

Here’s an easy thing to do, a fan. You simply say: ‘yeah it stinks that these people are rioting in the suburbs’. Too tough?

There shouldn’t be such vandalism, I agree with that.

But I’m far more concerned about the effort of Trump and his Republican goons to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, an effort that, if successful, could prevent my daughter from obtaining health insurance when she’s older. I can’t live or work forever (although I will have to try and work until I die), so my special needs daughter won’t always be able to stay on my “Cadillac” health insurance. Her medical needs cost in the six figures annually, and Medicaid (also constantly threatened by Republicans), does not come close to being adequate.

Bottom line, my daughter could die without the Affordable Care Act if it’s not around after I’m gone.

So ... you may want think a bit more about what is important to a “father of a daughter with special needs.”

Happy to.

First, kindly point me to where you simply say "yeah, it stinks that all 150K of my fellow Americans have died from this virus."

Or is that too tough?


Get the point yet, Pete, or do you need me to turn the sarcasm up past 11 ?

Your first sentence would have sufficed in this instance.

But Then the Trump screed. And assumptions about evil republicans coming for your cadillac plan.

I think that's the left and "Medicare for ALL" coming for your private insurance.

If we weren't covering illegal immigrants and the clueless we could spend much more on the helpless. Like your lovely daughter.

We’re here on the RACE thread, not the Covid thread.

Are there other unrelated topics you demand others to bend a knee on? I don’t want to say ‘yeah it stinks that people have died of Covid’, then you simply ask for another unrelated admission. Is Covid all, or are there others? Also, is the RACE thread now the catch all thread for other unrelated topics you will seek absolution for?

I'm not the one telling others what to say here, pal. YOU are.

You don't even pay attention to what YOU write, much less what anyone else writes.

Unreal.

Want more?

The guy yelling and cursing at neighborhood children and neighbors of police union leader Bob Kroll is John Thompson, a Dem candidate for the MN House of Representatives.

He has been endorsed by Rep. Ilhan Omar, MN Gov. Tim Walz, and MN AG Keith Ellison.

Didn’t you or 6ft post that last week? I thought I saw that already.

Look at the date & time of the post.

Black hole. Time warp. I was in the middle of responding to a post by afan & it disappeared.

Looks like > 24 hrs of posts have been vaporized (no great loss).
