No political leverage to be had here. Like all leftist organizations they are inverted. Black Lives Matter? Not so much. They could care a less about black on black crime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updated daily, Chicago stats. 32 killed in the last week and over 80% of murders over the past several years are never charged (assailant unknown). Certainly the George Floyd incident deserves attention and correction but Chicago by itself generates 100X the wrongful shootings compared to police departments nationwide. The media mostly won't touch it. https://heyjackass.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop blaming "evil white people" for all of the problems in the minority community. Take some responsibility Gregory. EDIT: My god, you ARE special. Your quote which I responded to used the word "systematic"....which I then used in my complete destruction of your weak points. And you come back saying that I mixed up "systemic" with "systematic" Here's your post that I quoted (bold added for emphasis): 23 hours ago, GregPersons said: Oh God, I'm so sorry... I keep forgetting you have the ego of an eggshell. You're not a Nazi. You don't have the uniform. You just support minority populations being imprisoned and executed systemically as long as it doesn't affect you. Very different! Did you seriously not notice that in my quote I say "systemically" even though you bolded it? Systematically Systemically Similar, I know. There is a difference. Can ya spot it for us, Johnny? Can ya try? I'll even give you a hint. Blame me all you want. I didn't invent the language. I'm just saying, "if you live here, maybe learn to speak English" Since you can't even identify the words distinct from each other, even when you literally are tracing your chubby sausage digit over the word and s-s-s-s-sounding it out, I'm going to go ahead and guess you're not going to be able to tell me the difference in meaning.

So, tell me how much YOU care about black lives when black people are being slaughtered in record numbers each year by other black people. Where is the outrage? You've clearly been bested (again) and are focusing on the most minute details of my responses, when I have presented facts (not the lies you have been spouting). You have NOTHING to respond with against the facts that people are posting in this and your other threads. How are your zoom meeting invites going you weirdo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I need to do a re-tally but you should sign up. You should tell me what lies you think I'm spouting, and which facts you think you are presenting. I really like how the entire basis of your argument a moment ago was how you "won" because you "proved" that racism isn't "systematic" and now that's just a small little detail since, as it turns out, you didn't know "systemic" was a word and still don't know what it means, but you are nevertheless certain you proved it wrong. Like, I just watched you do that. And I will watch you deny it in your next post. You're going to insist on a reality that is completely different than the one you just subjected me to, because the new reality will better suit your argument. So basically, in real time, you're demonstrating the overall pattern of White people's racism in general and how it warps your brain and how you don't even know it. If this were a lab, you'd be the specimen I would be using to demonstrate to the class. Excited to see how you "win" in your next post!

I won the argument because you present no facts to back up your claim of SYSTEMIC racism. Regardless of me using the incorrect word it actually did not change the context of my argument which is that you claim there is SYSTEMIC racism but provide no fact to base it on. Facts. We need facts here. Read back through my responses and you will see the facts I presented. Please provide facts that support your claim of SYSTEMIC racism. And I never mentioned SYSTEMIC racism....I was stating that I dont believe, based on facts, that black people are SYSTEMATICALLY being executed (by police. See my other responses to find out who IS SYSTEMATICALLY executing them). And YOU actually used SYSTEMICALLY incorrectly when you mentioned black people being SYSTEMICALLY executed. The correct wording, which I flawlessly used is SYSTEMATICALLY executed. Owned. You don't carry things out systemically....you carry them out systematically. Systemic refers to an overall greater issue at hand. Edited June 8, 2020 by Johnnycage46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Joshin' Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Once this is passed, real estate values will drop as people who can rush out will rush out of the city. The net result will be further inequality caused by a terrible policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. Sometimes I think, really there is no reason, based on history, to expect White America to really actually come around and support Black America in this. But things like this, I feel like this time is different. It started with Trayvon Martin, I think. People are waking up to the reality that things should be, and can be different. Very inspiring to see people encourage American ingenuity. Despite what this board would have you believe, America does have a lot of very talented and brilliant thinkers among us. They just don't go here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Miner Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The protests might have a good amount of support in this country and may help defeat Trump in November. Pushing to disband the police will undo all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t speak to that I know they had horrible crime issues before if it’s not worse now that’s an improvement right? The article explains what they did and it shows positive reviews. If what they did worked in a place like Camden I don’t know why it couldn’t be replicated. Did you read the link?

Not only is there still a Camden NJ police department but there are more officers than before it was disbanded. They fired all of the officers via abolishing their department, then allowed all of the former officers to apply to be rehired under new, more selective criteria. This allowed them to snuff out the bad officers and hire new ones. In the process, their police force served the community better and expanded at the same time. A reduction in law enforcement isn't always what "abolish the police" actually means. If only people knew more... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
