it's solved by emigration and removing incentives for non-able people to have children

It's more that people like me who maybe see one black person a week IRL gets to see black people multiple times a day on social media and 95% of the time they are acting up. When that is all you see you are going to quickly form a certain opinion of that group.

that trayvon verdict had black people destroyed the next day/week. twitter was set ablaze, too


GZ shot a man who was attacking him. Right or wrong, that happens all the time. He is not responsible for the reaction to it.
Obama, the media, black leaders, etc are at least somewhat responsible for the reaction to it.

that situation laid the foundation

That's the situation that was picked as the launching point for everything we are seeing today. The actual situation itself was not very unusual and certainly nothing occurred that warranted any of this BLM stuff.

It won't be solved at all by a society that eschews traditional values.

You should try living among them. It's eye opening.

i'm not saying he is, but he is still the person who was involved in the incident that started this whole "revolution"

he's certainly more responsible than Obama (we were only given those 2 options)

a non-black killing a black person isn't that common (typically all races kill their own primarily)

add in age of the dead person, the lack of a weapon on the dead person, etc and it was ripe for sensationalization

One thing that drives me nearly over the edge on a weekly basis. If someone needs to turn around and go the opposite direction they won't make a block. Assholes will just stop and turn around in the middle of a street blocking all the traffic. They don't give a single shite how busy the street is.

No. They are. Vocational education is one of the most neglected areas of our economy, by far.

Today, almost every kid in the US is programmed to believe they should be spending 4 years wasting money at a liberal college, when they should be going into voc ed.

The "participation trophy" kids of today think they are too good for this type of work, thus the need to import labor, which also happens to be cheaper.

Yet here we are trying to import more people from elsewhere into our society.

We are literally going backwards on all of this.

I would go months without seeing one when I lived in Colorado. Black people don't like cold weather.

He is the idiot face to attach to this whole thing. And he keeps stepping on his own nuts and knuckles.

Obama I feel just exposes the racism that, while vastly improved, still exists here. If he were white he would be the dullest fricking President in my lifetime.

That may be true but I don't really like attending the Cardinals and Suns games live, most of their games are better on TV, so I don't know if getting out more would make that big of a difference.

Obama by far. Racers can't stand the fact that we have a liberal black president.
