Floyd himself testified that he could not breathe before he was put on the ground. 

He would not have said that if the drug overdose was not causing breathing problems. I don't think Floyd was lying about that.

I sure did. Contract rates don't care about the name on a degree. It's a simple checkbox on the wage calculation. But they don't tell you that in the brochures, so your take is understandable.

Are you suggesting it will take another civil war to help disadvantaged black kids? I sure hope not.

There are plenty of affordable colleges in America, but the propaganda is high on selling big names on the diploma.

Not everyone needs a Ferrari to get from point A to point B.

My grad school was hella-cheap. Paid it off in 3 years.

“Let’s starve millions of seniors to death and deny them medical care because a rich liberal vacation spot had to deal with 0.001% of what border states have had to deal with for the last year and a half”

I still don't get the connection between dumping a few illegal invaders into blue states with support for big government social spending

The alternative is to hold everyone equally locked up until their trial.

The original intent of the bail system was designed to address prison overcrowding by allowing families to put their property up as collateral to ensure a person will make a trial date. But if that seems unfair, then everyone can stay in jail and you can pay for it.

I would like to address the same problem Coal brought up which is the government rewarding Black women financially for he destruction of the nuclear family (which BLM bizarrely describes as a good thing in their manifesto)

Every socio metric proves without any reasonable doubt that this breakdown is detrimental for society, and particularly destructive for the affected children.

Women initiate divorce 70% of the time, and Black women are among the highest offenders.

There needs to be both a cultural shift in America followed by policy changes and laws that discourage women initiated divorces  instead of blindly maintaining the status quo encouraging the destruction of the nuclear family. Similar policies need to also discourage having children out of wedlock.

Since Black children are unfairly and unequally harmed by the destruction of the nuclear family, Black children stand the most to benefit from this cultural change.

If you really want to understand the distinct variations between the many cultures of every skin color of America, I strongly suggest investing time with an audiobook from Dr Sowell called Black Rednecks and White liberals. It talks about the origins of regional cultures and how they influenced the lives of Blacks and Whites living in both the north, and the south.

After you learn the book, you will never again use the term "Black Culture" or "White culture"

Did you even read what I wrote?

Because there is a marked difference between Black immigrants after 1900 and everyone else, you can NOT monolithically create a universal term like "Black Culture" and have it apply to all dark skinned Americans.

It would be like calling Russian culture "white culture" even though practically no American of any skin color has those values.

Because you cannot define the term "Black Culture" for those reasons, you also cannot define "white privilege"

You realize that Black immigrants past 1900 are generally wealthier and less prone to ending up in jail than both white immigrants and Generational American whites and blacks.

This is a culture problem, not a color problem.

This isn't about corruption. This is a question on what to do with a violent person after you detain them at the scene of a crime.

Whether you are in a "functioning democracy" or a dictatorship is irrelevant because criminals exist under all systems.

There really is no need to speculate or ask any of the users here what a reparation plan would be for perceived racism. We have 7 years of BLM activism to show us exactly what reparations would look like. Money funneled directly into the banks of professional race grifters and zero money funneled to people who are in and out of prison.

Most of the world is Asian and African, so no. Whites do not rule most of the world. That's basic demographics.

Asia alone has double the GDP of the USA. Africa is expected to surpass the USA GDP in a few decades.

What accidentally made America great was the initial inability to tax the citizens which led to the accidental ownership of the land amongst the collected people instead of the state as the state sold off parcels of land to pay down the debts.

People from all over the world came to America to take advantage of this accident. Nowhere in the world could you ever expect to own property like you could in America.

That all ended when the State granted itself the authority to seize back property from people for any reason. Now America is no better than any other country and nothing special.

Modern Society has a culture that promotes the vestigial instinct of hypergamy in women while simultaneously suppressing the vestigial instincts of a man to provide and protect and impose order. This imbalance cannot last.
