Loading ...This problem (protests) must be a very new thing
Somehow this “Black Lives Matter” problem must have just popped up out of no where. It must have been developing during just the past 3 1/2 years. During the previous 8 years America had a black President and the entire government was mostly controlled by the Democratic Party. Certainly if there was any equality problem during those years, it would have been completely solved. This must be a new problem. https://youtu.be/yfhykqTjgJQ
Some historical study would suggest far from it.
Been there, done that. Yep it is a brand new problem. Obama certainly would have fixed any such problem during his long 8 years.
You want facts. HERE ARE MORE FACTS. https://youtu.be/gTOkw7cM6KU
I did watch the video you posted PK and all I can say is that we all have our own perspectives and projections about ourselves and life.
In every question is an assumption, mine included.
I’m not a black person, but what I believe is being protested is racism and the prejudices of differences we all can have.
And further, the shooting of black people by police in a manner that appears to be over done.
The photo of the cop that is kneeling on the neck of the man that died, that started all these protests, “appears” to look like the cop is displaying a trophy. I’m certainly reading into this my interpretation.
But none the less, history is full of racism in all parts of the world against all races including white’s.
That does not in my mind mean to do nothing and say nothing when you are mistreated.
In 2014 there were two police officers killed, execution style, while on duty in their squad car. This was during Obama’s watch. Surely there must have been huge protests then about such a murder of innocent victims.
Ho hum, I wish you guys could at least try and get the facts right. I know it doesn’t matter what the facts are to you, but it might to someone popping in and reading this crap.
“During the previous 8 years America had a black President and the entire government was mostly controlled by the Democratic Party.” — Democrats only “controlled” both houses for the first two years. House of reps was republican for the last 6 years of Obama’s tenure (remember the tea party — deficits are critical!) and senate became republican controlled the last 2 years.
“In 2020 there was a NYPD police officer killed, execution style, while on duty in their squad car. This was during Trump’s watch. ” Should we blame trump? Of course not, but I guess you can if you want to.
Yes, thank you also Kemmrich!
A continued voice of reason…..
It seems FACTS no longer matter..(deaf ears)…thanks for trying Kemmrich
Yes. The FACTS do matter. This issue was not a problem during the long Obama years. Now that Trump is President, the Democrats are making it his problem. If you fail to see that this is not a political issue….. well then you simply fail.
If you at least tried to look up the actual facts and not the narrative on your closed minded, theory conspiracy-laden sites, you would easily find out that this has been going on for quite a while.
Here’s an article about the march against police brutality from 1917: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/gabrielsanchez/100-years-of-racial-justice-protest-in-america

Here’s is Cornell West slamming Obama in mid-2016 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/14/barack-obama-us-racism-police-brutality-failed-victims.
… there is a bunch more, but they are all from fake news sites, so you won’t believe them.
These certainly could not be FACTS. This whole problem must be very recent. No way could there have been a problem during the Obama 8 years. Certainly our black President would have solved the problem. This just has to be Trumps. Did you know that “Trump is a racist”? I was not even aware of that until I read it on a protestor’s sign. HAVE YOU FAILED TO SEE HOW THIS IS ALL JUST DIRTY POLITICS?
IT’S been a problem since the abolishment of slavery…your just not paying attention…
Have you failed to answer these questions? https://youtu.be/yfhykqTjgJQ
The video’s title is “Three Simple Questions for the Black Community” I am white, so the questions aren’t for me, I guess.
As I said: Yes the FACTS do matter. There are more facts here in this video: https://www.facebook.com/realCandaceOwens/videos/273957870461345/
I like the facts as stated by people like Candace Owens and Officer Tatum. They are talking from the inside of the black community and are offering an alternative vision of what the democratic party had failed to do in the last forty years.
EXACTLY. “what the democratic party had failed to do in the last forty years.”
You guys have nearly convinced me of my wrongful opinions. But first, before I start building my protest sign, Tell me what you/they/I want to make this world a better place. What specifically is being asked to solve this grave problem that Trump has created? Do not cop-out by saying the list is too long. Just the first 5 most important remedies will suffice. I and others are waiting to hear them.
LOL — I don’t respond to these posts to try and convince you — I know that is a lost cause. It is for others that actually want to do some critical thinking and actually look up stuff on their own. Three months ago, this site was pretty apolitical for the most part. Now it is somewhere in the InfoWars realm of believability.
Yes Kemmrich we are debating and discussing the HUGE issues of the day at times when there are no markets trading.
it fills a huge void .
And you keep bitching and moaning and saying you will not comment any more…but here you are debating and discussing.
No one compels you to participate…but as long as you do the STFU about content !
sheeh
Black lives only matter to the civil rights community if a white person takes a black life.
