Ian, not commentary. Facts. Hard facts, with zero ambiguity.

i didn’t say it’s “about homicide.”. your side is saying it’s about black lives matter. a notion i agree with.

if you want to improve black lives, it seems to me youd address the issues that adversely impact black lives the most. but that’s not what we do. we limit ourselves to looking at issues that pay political dividends to democrats.

this is complete, total, bullsh*t. you want to improve the black experience, first and foremost, you address fatherlessness. social science is very clear, that’s the driver of poverty, that’s the driver of incomplete education, that’s the driver of boys acting out, that’s the driver of dangerous run ins with the police, that’s the driver of incarceration. and liberalism has made it much worse. Liberals know this, and that’s why they ignore it:

Jim very simple question how many conservative POTUS have their been how many Republican Governors in how many different states ? To declare some how liberalism is the cause of Blacks problems. Because the issues affect all blacks in all states regardless of who's in charge .. is a comical assertion and shows your truly disconnected with history and the situation as a whole for a vast amount of blacks in Americans


Your zip. Code alone can predict your future ..

Jim and every thing you mentioned has been spoken about for decades .. and it's not coming for the right ... there once was a thing called The ACA or Obamacare for some which targeted giving those disadvantage blacks nd others health care and what party has been trying to gut it from day 1 .... not liberals. Who cuts money from lunch programs or wick or snap benfits not liberals..

Unlike you Iam not suggesting its conservatism is to blame but clearly their more eager to blame liberals ,, while watching the train wreck doing nothing

this is how "police brutality" happens in many cases I believe...who escalated? was this "racist" cops?

the biggest reason they want cop shows off tv is because it frequently shows how much restraint and composure most cops have dealing with the public

if I point a weapon at a cop... I expect to get shot...but that's just me I guess....if I get pulled over and I'm an uncooperative a-hole.....I don't expect to be treated well, certainly don't expect the benefit of the doubt

There are a lot of problems by race and by economic class. SOME of this is where you live and a lot of those places have been Dem run for decades. It is not absolutely, though.

Minorities do just fine, on average, when they are professionals somewhere in society, getting education, with little difference between being white or not (education, biz, medical, military). Racial bias DOES have something to do with the difference. It is not fair, there IS a gap, and we need to do more to correct that.

Poor white people from the projects or trailer park, have the deck stacked against them too. They also get stuck in the cycle.

NYC Contact Tracers hired by de Blasio’s trace campaign not checking if people attended demonstrations

Over the two last weeks, Mayor Bill de Blasio and others have voiced concerns that packed police brutality protests across the city could trigger a new wave of COVID-19 infections.

Whether or not that’s the case, however, remains unknown — and de Blasio’s team won’t be directly trying to find out.

The hundreds of contact tracing workers hired by the city under de Blasio’s new “test and trace” campaign have been instructed not to ask anyone who’s tested positive for COVID-19 whether they recently attended a demonstration, City Hall confirmed to THE CITY.

I'm not sure this isn't the right thing to do. Just because someone who tests positive attended a protest doesn't mean you're going to learn much scientifically about the impact of the protests on Covid or be able to perform effective tracing. Many people would just lie anyway or it could inhibit the collection of good data.

Personally I think the liberal assault on Paw Patrol is the real demon, oh and Antifa of course.
