It's a neat trick to try and pretend that it is only a city's mayoral administration that has influence over policy within a given city, I'll give you that. Nothing to do with state or federal policies at all of course. ;)

Who controls the police? Not the fed. Plus it was referring to cities specifically so I didn't want to broaden it out to the state governors or the eight years of Obama presidency.

If that's the case, why do you think that there aren't more Republican mayors?

Inner city voting leans left, it does in Australia too. The black vote is almost entirely democrat.

The last thing to happen in their cultural revolution will be the loyal voters of parties realising that voting for the same again and again doesn't change.

A slave is someone who is "owned" by another party.

Slavery is wrong.

I think what you are calling slavery is quite a loose definition of the word.

It's more of an indentured servitude, that's true.

Convict workforces have been building nations for years, they are effectively the same.

The city administrations do, of course. But let's not pretend all the factors that feed into socioeconomic status (which thus feeds into crime vulnerability and offending rates) are purely down to who controls the police, that is just one part of a very much larger picture.

Trump Will Ride This 'American Carnage' To Reelection — If We Let Him

What Trump and his enablers fear most isn’t young people raging in the streets, writes Steve Almond. They fear an organized, disciplined electoral opposition.

I love the term 'inciter-in-chief' to describe the orange raccoon cos it's so-so accurate.

Yes, so it follows that of course most of the cities with the most violent crime will have Democratic mayors because a) crime is always higher in higher density areas and b) higher density areas tend to be Democratic. You are going down the path of correlation = causation.

Slavery without some sort of reward at the end is wrong.

If a nation offered citizenship to someone who worked as a slave for five years and cared for them then it's not wrong. There's a value exchanged and an agreement entered into, and their children cannot be slaves.

bonded labour is as good as slavery, and its why the world has been working to eradicate it in china, SE asia, and India

and this is why most countries, including ours, have rules about using prison labour and what compensation the prisoner is entitled to

unfortunately this is going backwards in some states in the USA. they earn 8c an hour, but then get billed for room and board. As such, they leave prison with a debt, and if they dont repay it they can end up back in prison (who would have thought debtors prisons would be a thing again in the 21st century?)

Taylor wants an actual solution and not just pushing the problem into the future or avoiding the hard conversations because the facts are ugly.

African Americans most likely grow up knowing someone who was hauled off by the police for crimes they committed. The police can be completely hands off but the primary victims of that crime are other black people - so the solution needs to be provided by that community as to what they want to do or need to make the communities safer so they don't need to have so many interactions with the police.

That might mean a much higher standard of living, so do that. It might mean more welfare money, so do that.

I think there will be a break in the cycle by increasing welfare payments to families if their children are in school, and even more money if they are doing well at school.

Is Trump being held to the same standard as any other president between that era and now? Antifa are being accused of current day acts of terror so the current day president acts.

Where do you sit on this?

He has defended and never called out hate crimes like Charleston incidents

I love watching racists like you defend other racists

Yeah, slave and near-slave labour (think sweat shops in Bangledesh making the ten dollar tracksuit bottoms at K-Mart) is still very much a thing. And yeah, it's condoned by far too many people.

The idea behind origin-labelling is crucial in this regard. I buy Australian-made whenever I can even though its pricier.

It's interesting who buys Australian made, who shops in local stores rather than chains and who eats in restaurants rather than chains



I bet many of the dopey anti-american punters are not shy of eating maccas, shopping at coles and target and look at price over their community

So sick of the holier than thou attitude of reporters that think clearing the area doesn't apply to them.

At least you are consistent on your stance on police actions unlike some who often lose their minds on the mildest forms of brutality.

Did you actually watch Trump talk about Charleston? Or just the segment they showed you on the news?

Because he condemned the hate groups... right before the part they showed you on the news that better suited their narrative that he didn't.
 
Sadly the "police racism" narrative is an easy sell to blacks and rabid white leftists, despite the fact that police kill more whites than blacks and blacks kill more whites than whites kill blacks (and also commit more violent crime). The George Floyd incident was a tragedy but we are at a point now where any incident involving a black death is automatically racist.

Despite all the posturing and virtue signalling, there is no point at which these people will be satisfied. Nobody cares about black lives when 20 black kids kill each other on one weekend in Chicago but everyone goes crazy when the media tells them to get outraged.

I think a lot of people are realising that the dream of a multicultural utopia is dead. You cannot have peace and order when you have so many people and groups with different values, behaviour and visions for society. This is only going to get worse as the media and cultural marxists keep fanning the flames of hate and division.
 
escalation continues

live rounds fired at protesters:



cops targeted with vehicles:



firefight cops vs thugs live rounds:



footage i won't post:
  1. multiple dead (5+) lying in street after incident, unknown cause​
  2. black OG store owner murdered by thugs​
  3. protester accidentally killed by thugs​

a lot of action for a week-day. perhaps this doesn't end quickly.
