You can say the border is bad if you'd like, but you're putting your head in the sand if you think Biden is simply maintaining the status quo. Dude is setting records each month.



You're not trying to place blame on the previous administration for the rise in racial tension, are you? That was overwhelmingly orchestrated by BLM, Democratic-controlled cities, academia, and MSM. And FWIW, Biden and Harris are both actively promoting "equity", which is a bush league approach for contriving equal opportunity. If you want equal opportunity, you can't bestow additional grants, scholarships, funding, and promotions to minorities solely on the basis of being a minority... because, well, then you don't have equal opportunity.
Your white privilage is showing, Dukie...why don't you take that "equal" opportunity you get from your family and Dukie network and go slap a floor for how good you got it. Some people can't buy their way through life.

The border was bad? April 2020 there were 17,000 apprehensions at the border. April 2021 there were 175,000 apprehensions at the border. Difference this time is that they are being spread across the country in the dark of night. And 35% of them are testing positive for covid, 800% increase in fentanyl coming into our country and children are in cages with no fake crying from the AOCs of Congress. 60 something days ago Kamala was put in charge of the border crisis and she has not held one single press conference nor has she put out an official statement from her office. But you like the policy going forward? What exactly is the policy?

Unemployment was decreasing steadily until Biden extended the ridiculous unemployment benefits. Now it has plateaued to say the least. What we have now is an employment crisis. Not an unemployment crisis. But you're right. Things are going swell.

Again. You defend anything. Israel and Palestine have been in conflict many times and it won't end. But you make it seem as if Biden's foreign policies haven’t played a role. That's just stupid. 6 weeks after our money gets into the hands of the Palestinians and the Iranian government, all of the sudden they have a stockpile of rockets to just launch at Israel. Are you dumb enough to believe that is just a coincidence or are you big enough of a political hack to just act like it is? We can't control what they do, but we can control our contributions.

And please. It's not just about racial tensions. It's about your dumbass party doubling down on their efforts to convince the masses that big bad white man posses the greatest threat to society and that the simple fact that you are white means you are privileged and inherently racist. It's also your dumbass party that refuses to treat each individual case as an individual case. Instead it is a systemic problem where white supremacists run LEO and every incident is based on skin color.

That’s a haymaker of a post.
 
Pick a number between 1-9.
Take your number and multiply it by 9.
so you have a new number.
If it's double digits, add the two numbers together and get a new number (14 would be 1+4)
Now subttact 5 and you have a new number.

Take that number and cross it with letters. ie a=1, b2, c3 etc.
Now you have a letter.

Think of a country that starts with that letter
Think of the last letter of that country.

We have a letter.
Now think of an animal that starts with that letter.
and then, the color of that animal.

Brown Kangaroo anyone?

Headlines are, by and large, reactionary, not proactive. They’re informed and influenced by what society is doing, rather than the other way around. The recent surge in the awareness and fight for racial equality wasn’t the result of a propaganda effort or agenda from the powers that be.

Disagree. There were countless amounts of propaganda. I could link hundreds of articles that cry racism over seemingly every conceivable grievance. We live in one of the most racially progressive countries in the world. At some point, we have to realize there are diminishing returns in this fight for social justice. We're way, way past that point.

In light of the racial tension we’ve noted, it would be irresponsible to not conclude racially motivated violence is a top tier domestic threat. It also encompasses and was informed by violence in BLM protests.
This is part of the issue. We don't even know that George Floyd's death was racially motivated. People are quick to jump to conclusions on their univariate analysis. The data strongly indicates that cops, in fact, are not disproportionately targeting blacks.

They did specifically highlight white supremacists, but the threat assessment applied to all racial violence, like the violence against Asians in recent months.

Democrats disproportionately represent minorities. They speak to that base and aren’t going to ignore them because Republicans insist everything is actually just fine.

They've done a horrible job at representing the minorities. They give the poor people enough to keep them down. Terrible schools and incentivizing women with more welfare money if they don't have a man in the home. The net effect has been catastrophic. Also, find it interesting that Republicans, on average, donate more to charities, volunteer more, and give higher tips. But, sure dems are empowering people while handing them free stuff and having ridiculously low expectations.
If you don’t want to feel white guilt, then don’t feel white guilt. Liberals don’t feel white guilt; well, the normal majority don’t. When it comes to white privilege, there needs to be a common understanding of what that is. All else equal.... all else equal.... all lease equal (this part is very important)....all else equal, it is easier to live and get ahead in America with white skin. Racism isn’t as out in the open and obvious as it once was in everyday life. Drawing attention to the shortcomings in society that disadvantage minorities is not a bad thing. It is not a label of ‘white man bad.’ When people strive for racial equality you guys need to stop seeing that as a personal attack on you.

All else equal, the minority has preferential treatment on college admittance, scholarships, and hiring.

There are no codified laws which allow any financial institution, school, or business to discriminate on the basis of race. If you have equal opportunity, you absolutely cannot have equal outcomes. Quotas are a shi**y way to implement equality. Institutions should care a heck of a lot more about competence than any group identity. It will unnecessarily lead to a poorer quality product or service. And FWIW, if you live at the top threshold of a single individual in poverty, I want to say $12,760, then you're in the top 88% of all world salaries. Being born in America is a far greater privilege than being born a certain race.

- That’s not propaganda

- The data does not strongly suggest that. You’ve linked to it before. I’ve seen it. How police react to ‘violent crime’ and how many people they shoot is probably less than half of the story.

- Historically, Dems/Liberals help minorities more than Reps/Conservatives. They lift more minorities out of poverty and get them into the workforce. Republicans have a tendency to focus on trickle down economics which was/is a failed experiment. Marginal differences in tips and donations don’t account for much; I’m referring to governance and policy. Not all donations are equal, either.

- There are incentives to help lift disenfranchised and disadvantaged minority groups. These help but don’t magically make it easier to be a minority.
 
BLM stands with Palestine and terrorists, can’t make this stuff up
I'm telling you, the fastest growing demographic in America is the "too dumb to vote" demo.

Read this Yahoo headline and try not to let your head explode.

Singer Demi Lovato has revealed they are nonbinary and are changing their pronouns, telling fans they are "proud" to make the change after "a lot of self-reflective work."
