I know we have discussed this before  @DBut82.  Just keep in mind its her opinion.  Who made her the authority of racism and discrimination?  I love her argument.  First she assumes white people dont like black people.  Secondly she says white are ignorant on skin color.  Really?  I guess I dont understand skin pigment cells and everything I learned from my Biology degree was just garbage.  Skin or pigment cells is a tissue it doesnt think or use reason.  She makes alot of assumptions to render a weak argument that pushes aside all reason, common sense, and even judeo christian values.  She lost me at " I am a B because it stands for being in total control honey."  LOL

So when an angry Black panther member says kill whitey and their babies.  That isnt racism but when a KKK guy says kill black people that is? 

Double standard.  Not buying it. 

It doesnt work that way I dont care how many liberal activists or civil rights and diversity trainers say so.  Its an accepted view on the left but not on the right.  Discrimination based on race is discrimination.  No conditions.  It happens on both sides regardless of some self anointed liberal expert decides.

This is an excuse to commit violence against other races that arent black.  Its common sense.  The fact that some liberals push this type of double standard garbage only makes its worse.  You cant expect equality of racial issues when both sides dont play by the same rules.  MLK said judge a person by their character not the color of their skin.  Words to live by FOR BOTH SIDES.  So yea when I see stupid idiots white or black burning business and beating up otherwise innocent people just because they are white then yea I condemn them.  The same holds true if a white person beats up a black person just because he is black.

Common sense on the left is very rare nowadays

I saw that report.  We all know there are more peaceful protestors than anarchists.  You cant judge an entire group of people based on a few 500 or so rotten apples.  The same applies to law enforcement.  Just remember that.

I was going to say, its rather rich to point to peaceful protestors as cities burn while ignoring the thousands of good cops who are suffering because of actions they had no part in.

What do we say about this? Yeah, they are peaceful protestors after all? Cities are still burning, people put out of business, people murdered, etc. and that, very appropriately, is what concerns this nation.

I've never understood why an incident in Minneapolis can start violence in other cities, thousands of miles away. There was no legitimate reason for that.

We simply have a generation that gets off destroying other people's lives and this nation in general.

Democrats Tell Supporters To Punch People Then Blame Trump When Riots Start


The most violence-ridden cities in American are run by Democrats. Why then, should they be trusted to lead an entire nation of more than 330 million people?
Democrats have recently joined forces in blaming President Trump of fanning the flames of violence. While this is nothing new, it is concerning evidence of a pattern among the left. More particularly, the party that seeks to lead the nation is unwilling to take responsibility for the misdeeds of its members and is always looking to blame others. Americans should not trust this party to lead them.

As reported by The Hill, Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) recently slammed the president’s scheduled visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin in wake of protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. “I think his visit has one purpose and one purpose only, that is to agitate things and make things [worse],” said Bass. “What happened in Portland, [was] you saw a parade of Trump supporters actively shooting paintballs at peaceful protesters, and the president, in my opinion, encourages that. He actually retweeted the people firing paint guns, I think he only means to agitate things.”

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) echoed Bass’s sentiment. According to The Hill, Schiff stated: “The president is willfully fanning the flames of this fire,” adding, “The president is only motivated by one thing: what is in it for him. He sees this violence and his ability to agitate more of it as useful to this campaign. What it does to the country, the loss of life, he doesn’t care.”

Joe Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield chimed in and accused President Trump of “inciting violence.” There is, however, ample evidence to discredit these unsubstantiated allegations.

First, much of the “inciteful” rhetoric has come from those on the left. For example, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) previously stated, “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

Sen. Cory Booker encouraged people to “get up in the face of some congresspeople.” Nicolle Wallace encouraged Jeb Bush to punch Trump in the face. Madonna thought about blowing up the White House. Actor Johnny Depp despicably commented about assassinating a president. Additional examples abound.

Most important to note, of course, is that the violence occurring in various American cities has nothing to do with the president. Rather, it is the byproduct of weak (or nonexistent) leadership by Democrats and their unwillingness to condemn the violence.

In Portland, Oregon, Gov. Kate Brown (D) and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler have allowed anarchists to run wild throughout the city, fostering an environment of lawlessness and chaos. Contrary to the claims of Democrats that Trump is inciting unrest, city and state officials in Oregon have rejected the president’s continued offers to send members of the National Guard to the city to address the disorder.

As reported by CBS News, acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf recently stated, “We’ve been asking Portland to do their job really for over three months now. What you see in Portland is an environment, they foster an environment of this lawlessness and chaos.”

Further proof of the left’s refusal to take responsibility was seen in Florida. Rep. Val Demings of Orlando also chose to criticize the president and his administration when asked about the ongoing civil insurrections in Portland. According to Demings, “The chaos and disorder and lawlessness we are seeing, that is Donald Trump‘s America.”

Not only are many on the left unwilling to strongly condemn the violent riots around the country, but some of their policies are helping to foster such conduct. Many Democrats promote “defunding” the police, which they portray as criminal justice “reform.” Most recently, the Virginia Senate approved legislation proposed by Democratic Sen. Scott Survell that would downgrade the legal penalty for a suspect found guilty of assaulting a police officer. This defies any sense of reason or logic.

Assuming the Democrats’ newfound public outcry against violence is heartfelt and genuine, why would some Democrats refuse the president’s offers to help curtail the unrest? Moreover, why would they elect to defund or to reduce protections vital to the very officers who are there to serve citizens?

Instead of blaming the president for the violence (and everything else) throughout the nation, Democrats need to look in the mirror. They should be shocked and embarrassed by what they see.

It isn’t the president who is promoting or inciting violence. On the contrary, it is Democratic Party policies, poor leadership, and Democrats’ lack of accountability that has led to the current level of unrest. As President Trump has correctly pointed out, the most dangerous cities in American are run by Democrats. Why then, should they be trusted to lead an entire nation of 330 million people?

In his 1791 work “The Rights of Man,” political philosopher and writer Thomas Paine stated: “A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody.” Little did Paine know how applicable his quote would be today, and sadly, just how right he would be.

Trumps response?

"Peace is the real prize"

More from liar Trump. Lying the whole time about Covid and acting like it was no big deal. He didn't lie because of panic. It was about the stock market. The guy needs to go


New audio proves it: Trump deliberately deceived America about the coronavirus

In denying disrespect of soldiers, Trump cites call to Melania. There’s just one problem.




Here's proof that Trump is lying. All the other leaders were able to go, but first the White House said it was the weather which was a lie and then it was the road wasn't good which was also a lie.
 
So, Trump is saying now he was so upset that he couldn't go that he called Melania back in Washington. Only problem was Melania was with him on the trip.
 
It's tough to keep facts straight when you're lying. Trump is un-American and unpatriotic liar.

FORMER INTEL CHIEF DAN COATS BELIEVED "PUTIN HAD SOMETHING ON TRUMP'

• At one point, Mattis went to Washington National Cathedral to pray for the country's fate under Trump's leadership, according to the Post's report on Woodward's book. He reportedly told Coats, "There may come a time when we have to take collective action" to speak out against Trump because he is "dangerous. He’s unfit."
  
• In a later conversation reported by Woodward, Mattis told Coats, "The
  
• president has no moral compass." Coats reportedly responded, “True. To him, a lie is not a lie. It’s just what he thinks. He doesn’t know the difference between the truth and a lie."

This whole mantra about how blacks can't be racist but whites can is just the latest in a long line of sad commentary from a group trying to excuse themselves of bad behavior.

This is like your child trying to exempt himself from things he's inflicting on others. You remember this, don't you. lol

But just because a few idiots are willing to say such things in public doesn't mean the public has to recognize it as fact or even acknowledge it as anything other than the nonsense it is.

I've never owned slaves. They've never been slaves. This is just a grab bag from people too lazy to move up the right way.

They should be ashamed, but they're too morally bankrupt to recognize their wrong. I pity them.

The number of violent protests should be freaking zero.

 

[Bear19]

That 7% figure, even if accurate, has resulted in multiple deaths and millions of dollars of property damage. Fock them.

I think we're at 35 deaths (murders), $8 billion in damages.
