What does it matter the source of the money? Iran is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism and now they have a lot more money to spend on it.

Conservatives are "never" intellectually honest? Never ever?

"Most people don't even bother talking to conservatives any more" really? Is this true!

I think it is the people who have this negative tunnel vision view of the world who are the problem!

They would get caught if they did that.

Schizophrenia probably. Look at her eyes.

"Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to understand what is real.[2] Common symptoms include false beliefs, unclear or confused thinking, hearing voices that others do not, reduced social engagement and emotional expression, and a lack of motivation.[2][3] People with schizophrenia often have additional mental health problems such as anxiety disorders, major depressive illness, or substance use disorders.[4] Symptoms typically come on gradually, begin in young adulthood, and last a long time.[3][5]"

We know she's not an anti-Trumper from here, as I think all of them are guys.

They also don't have enough uranium to make a nuke anymore. That's how these things work.

They have enough money to support terrorism.

This was a horrible deal.

What's the point of imposing sanctions to get people to stop building a nuke if you don't remove them when they agree to stop?

Nevermind. Obama did it. So it's bad.

That first post is a good start.

If the US is a white supremacist society, how did Barack Obama become president? You mention hierarchies and providing platforms for minorities who push the view that the U.S. is not racist, but that does not appear to apply to Obama. If I am wrong about this, please explain.

Please also outline what would need to be demonstrated in your mind to show that the U.S. is not a white supremacist society, because, as Mat Sklansky is also unclear on this point, apparently minorities claiming that there is no white supremacy culture is insufficient.

I had attended an AME church in the Rust Belt for many years as a congregation member and as a volunteer tutor in a location that had not insignificant problems with crime. Many of their sermons concentrated on the following themes:

- Staying in school and getting an education
- Not doing drugs or alcohol
- Not getting pregnant or getting someone pregnant before marriage
- Not committing crimes.
- Community outreach by the black community to the other communities, and especially to the police, which includes reporting crimes and criminals to the police and having community leaders meet with the police community outreach divisions weekly.
- Removing the Uncle Tom mindset and reaching out to successful black people to mentor other black people on how to succeed. Had many guest speakers from law enforcement, military, business, etc. give their experiences as successful black members of society.

Not once did I hear them say that their problems were due to the police or racism or white supremacy, and they don't buy such arguments either although they have been made before to the AME ministry. Is their approach and mentality correct or incorrect? Are they simply victims of white supremacy in your mind for denying racism in their desire to push into the upper echelons and be accepted by white people? If that is the case, how do I teach them about your view of white supremacy being the root of their community problems to better educate them on achieving success?

If they think none of their problems have any root in white supremacy I think they're pretty incorrect, and so would the volumes that Ta-Nehisi Coates has written on the subject.

Thread:

over-estimating and under-estimating what people are doing at the same time is very gymnastic.

There are thousands of people that get approached by the police every day and a bunch of them resist arrest. The article uses a sample size of 15 and I'm racist for calling them out on the poor sample size? Hundreds of people get fined for not paying a parking ticket and they literally hand pick one person who is black and I'm racist for saying how terrible of an example it is?

There really are racist cops out there and these are the examples the author chooses? I know there is less racism today than there ever has been in the history of this country, but I'd still expect the author to do some research to show us some real statistically significant stats showing racism in the police force.

How do you know bah bah?

Incompetent administration tips off the terrorists that they'd better enter the USA now, before the new ban. Sad!

LG is a lot smarter than you. It was fun watching him toy with you.

The research is out there, you have to want to read it though. In my mid sized American southern city a study came out:https://drivingwhileblacknashville.f...deons-army.pdf

I doubt you'll read it but the jist is that you are more likely to be pulled over driving while black. If you cannot first understand the deep embedded distrust of police in the black community you should not be in this conversation.

How do I know what?

If he is smart he is terrible at arguing his point. He looks stupid every time he argues with someone. His only move is a personal attack.

Yeah I'm not reading 213 pages. I read/skimmed the first 20ish pages though.

I find it interesting that they point out that one of the reasons they believe black people get pulled over more than white people is because the police patrol low income neighborhoods more and they said there is a higher % of black people that live in those neighborhoods.

Of those in this category how many are espousing these views for personal gain consciously versus unconsciously?

The fact that this is news to you says something about how naive your view of the system is.

You admit they were correct the first time?

You don't think they have been flooding in since the first ban was reversed?

Are you really this desperate to smear President Trump?

You need to get over your loss. Your desperation is obvious!

Perhaps black people achieve success by focusing less on racism and more on what they can personally do to become successful.

What happens in about 12 years when the deal as we know it is done? Iran will be able to enrich as much uranium as it wants. This deal is just kicking the can down the road for another administration to deal with. A real deal would not be dependent on a time table. It would be focused on the behavior of Iran. Iran continues to show hostility in the region and it's hate for the west.

That isn't news to anyone. Every time someone posts an article claiming the police significantly target one race I almost always say they need to factor in where these arrests/pull overs are happening and see if it is because they are in high crime neighborhoods.

My whole point with all of this is that the police don't deserve 100% of the blame if one race feels they are being targeted. Some focus needs to be on why there are more blacks in poor neighborhoods, why there is more crime in poor neighborhoods and how we can change these things.

It is easy to blame the last event/person that shows disparate impact is going on, but placing 100% of blame on them is wrong. Placing 100% blame on the police for pulling over more black people is as stupid as blaming the hiring committee for the ceo position of Fortune 500 companies for not hiring more minorities. There is too much going on before these events to give them that much blame.

A lot of them are totally unconscious and not trying to actively get personal gain out of it, in my opinion. See it all comes back to the U.S. being such a white supremacist society--it's so ubiquitous and so baked-into everything that you can easily pick up those sentiments without ever realizing it. And you can pick up those sentiments as a black person just like you can as a white person.
