I suggest giving blacks what they want...


Before they get another month to themselves like February. There is no white history month or Asian history month who helped build the country also via railroad sooo, yeah. They already got a street named after their movement near the White House. You don't want them taking everything now do you? Who cares about facts or stats, dat don't matter no more.

What do they want?
How far do we let "the movement" go?
Why are we their hostages?
Are they the lawmakers now?

Don't submit.
Don't kneel.
Don't let what the military fought for our freedoms be in vain.
Don't let them ruin America.
Don't kneel.
Don't kneel.
Oh and DON'T KNEEL!

Absolutely! I'll be damned if I ever fall in line behind some privileged, NFL loser, Pied Piper.

But you said giving black people what they want was an imaginative dream.

Let's start with the basics. Body cameras, and no more lying by the police. No more pushing 75 year olds and then saying he tripped. No lying that you didn't use teargas when you did.

The dems could help too by actually pushing for that kind of legislation, instead of focusing on confederate statues which don't really address the problem.

I said that? When? My memory is a bit hazy these days.

1. Body cams - already done
-Issue is they sometimes don't turn it on when needed or turn if off when not appropriate. Imo they should have helmet cams so the arms don't obscure the view or get easily knocked off.

2. Lying by police - hard (we're all human)
-Everyone lies so accountability of that will be difficult. Even suspects lie but yes, cops should be held a higher standard.

3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMXnFOvN0Ts another one btw. Imo he did trip but only because of the push that made him teeter but due to his age, he couldn't recover from his own fall.

4. CDC Tear Gas definition is conflated imo. It combines all effects of irritants when there is actual tear gas called CS gas (man-made) vs pepper spray OC spray (natural).

They should be finding ways to get blacks out of poverty, build better schools, and equal opportunity. Majority of blacks vote left yet they've still been stuck in this never ending cycle of nothing being done for them under every democrat president. Has nothing to do with the police since blacks do more crime hence more encounters with police hence more chances of getting killed due to violent or escalating confrontations. I guess one point should be added is teaching cops better ways to deescalate confrontations better and to focus more on non-lethal than lethal which the LAPD have been doing as of recent from the videos they release including the long explanations they do.

This whole equality thing is just an imaginative dream imo.
Since that is what black people want, you're saying what they want is an imaginative dream.

1. Body cams are not across the board. And even where they are implemented, they get routinely turned off. It's almost always a camera from someone else that catches the wrongdoing.

2. Not everyone lies, but I will agree it is part of human nature. Holding the people in power to the same standard as those who are not in power is stupid. When the authority lies, it goes up the chain all the way to the courts. They are all free to lie, because common people do it. Right? Therefore, our government should be allowed to steal because that is human nature too.

3. Is that a joke? If you get pushed and fall, it doesn't count as a trip. Ever. It is 100% a lie.

4. It doesn't matter what gas they used. They don't get to use it and say "no teargas was used." They also don't get to say those protesters weren't gassed for Trump's bible photo op when they very clearly were. Lies on top of lies.

"They" can't do a damn thing when there's a whole party raging out of their minds because an NFL player had the audacity to kneel during the anthem.

reply

I meant it as a whole. Not just blacks wants it but women, LGBTQ, etc. All of it is just an imaginary dream because they base it on things not equally equatable or goes against others rights by forcing others to conform to their ways. That and conservatives.

ie: Those football women team demand same pay as men even though they don't drive in the revenue to justify it or that 70 cents to a dollar that men make. Trans wanting to use the same bathroom as the gender they choose. Stuff like that.

3. Yeah I take that back.

reply

Yes Demilitarizing the police hasn't happened yet and Trump has not reached out no dialogue has happened if they want to this to stop they need dipolmacy and agree to The NAACP terms

"There is no white history month or Asian history month"

LOL. Wow you really need to research before posting.

Asian history month is May.

Here's a white history month:

By the way, "white" is not a culture. Neither is "black" because African-American aren't the only "black" people in the world. There are many white cultures and many black cultures.
