Only a small minority of white people even owned slaves, too. Most slaves were held among a relatively small number of plantations.

@RationalMadman
The protestors are majority white.
Self-hating white cucks lose their white card.
Plus, I'd need to see the numbers. More than half of protesters looked black based on photos I have seen(varies by city), and 90%+ of violent rioters didn't seem to be white.

But I think for many of them, they support trump for similar reasons to why people support AOC or Sanders
I think you're probably right on this one. Mixing the "drain the swamp" slogan for getting rid of corruption and the "make America great again" patriotic slogan together really meshed well with the populist feelings of the public right now.
I'll admit that I am moderately disappointed with Trump. Based on campaign rhetoric, he was a really good candidate imo. In action, he has done basically nothing to drain the swamp and bases most of "making the country great again" on the stock market, which is only a partial indicator of the economy's health.
Sanders was actually really good in my eyes on the corruption angle, but I just disagree with virtually every social issue and at least half of economic issues with him, so I'd need to basically be forced to give him a vote. Had he not been so radical to chase the young vote, he might have won the Democrat nomination.

As for police brutality, are you fine with abolishing public-sector unions, such as those for cops, that defend bad employees?

Really isn't that hard to start a movement for body cameras and readily accessible records if there is a complaint. Kinda all that needs to happen. I'm no political strategist, but I don't see how stealing Nikes and a MacBook will help end police brutality.

Ok, I didn't want to read 10 pages.
How is it going so far? If the MSM and politicians call beating up people and burning businesses "mostly peaceful", is it mostly peaceful or not?

If I had to choose between violent anarchy and a police state, I'd go with Mr. Parrot.
I'm sure the protesters were given a warning though, yes?

Brilliant idea! If we just informed gang members that murder and drug trafficking were bad, maybe they would stop! Tell them that is no way to behave towards their fellow community members.

Never been a fan of her or Kirk. Hate how overused the term is, but they are "grifters" imo. They changed their views on a dime as the kids didn't like "free trade" "letting criminals out of prison" "stapling greencards to the back of diplomas".
Not that she is always wrong, she is just a token black of the conservative movement, in essence. That is her role.

I would feel a lot worse about Gandhi getting murdered than a guy who raped children. Historical past should make you feel worse and less bad about what happened. A porn star drug addict that left his kids and threatened to shoot a pregnant woman's unborn child isn't really a loss to society. Deifying some scum bag to further a political cause is also disgusting.

@Imabench
This was exactly what I had been thinking when he was charged with third degree murder and people were pissed it wasn't a higher degree. I said he will probably walk free then, and we will have to repeat all of this rioting bullsh*t. Plus, third degree is upwards of 25 years, ignoring any other charges, that is still a pretty severe punishment.
As for you mocking Greyparrot, he is correct in his overall message. White liberals are the only group with negative in-group bias. Little fear of a reverse-OJ here.

Oh, my apologies. I wrote that terribly. I meant to say that the rule that gives impunity for that is taken away. I personally won’t be affected, so I don’t care that much, but I do think personal grievances might influence decisions more. Only a potential problem, I trust you guys enough ;)

1. I doubt this will come to fruition, so if it doesn’t, just count this vote as “abstained”. I think that most changes are good to the CoC, but I also think they should be judged on an individual basis in a separate MEEP. It is kinda resembling pork-barrel legislation like this. I am a bit concerned about the “no insulting mods rule”. While I haven’t done so and have no intention of doing so, I think that personal grievances will add another subjectively moderated rule to the site. People like Wylted, for instance, are not popular among mods and would likely get harsher or more frequent punishments. I’m honestly curious as to why this was put in in the first place.
2. Yes2
3. Yes
4. Yes. It could cut down on frivolous use of the button and make mod action more efficient by actually pointing out the problem. There really seems to be little wrong with implementing it and has the potential to save time.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
Generally you have to wait about 2-3 weeks before most of the truth comes out. Just like Ahmaud, they ignore his trespassing and previous criminal record, jogging a 12 mile trip in high tops and cargo shorts. They even cut a previous clip of him on police body cam to make him look innocent.
Clear bias. They don’t care about the truth. They want to raise racial tensions in an election year to make sure they stay on the plantation.

if Biden is a rascist and a rapist then so is Trump.
I recall Trump bragging about black unemployment, saying they played a huge role in building the country, etc. When has he ever had such nice things to say about whitey?

@Vader
I think rioting (vandalizing, looting, etc.) is a very illogical response. As for that, my thoughts are that we need to begin brutalizing rioters via water cannons.
As for the cop, he was in the wrong for kneeling on that guy's neck for so long. He said in the video that they tried to get them in the car for ten minutes prior. While that would make the actions more understandable, he was still in the wrong regardless.

Not only that, the Conservative party does not encourage censorship and thoughtcrimes. That's the other party.

@n8nrgmi
harvard journal article states that trump supporters are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories regarding virus
Probably because we rightfully don't trust the corrupt mass media's narrative. Luckily faith in these institutions is dropping among people of all political persuasions.

@Nemiroff
Yeah, I'd say that almost no liberals or leftists believe in any of those things. For open borders, it could also be a call-out on libertarians. Generally, lefties are just happy with super high, mass immigration, just not open borders.
Late-stage abortions are generally accepted by your side, though, aren't they?
I remember "abolish 2a" being a little more popular than expected, but most on the left actually support gun rights, too- just to a lesser extent.

Certainly. Sometimes animosity exists for no reason. Could be the case here. Theocracies aren't always the most reasonable governments.
I'd have to look into the personal histories of each country that doesn't like them.

You're definitely on our side. Give us four more years to fill up those courts. High quality real nice :)
I think that most lefties aren't not voting for Biden because of the allegations (which are probably true). I could be wrong about this, but it seems like they want the DNC to know that if they want power, they will have to go more left on their policies to court their vote.

To be fair, most lefties think that Trump is also a rapist. Maybe they'd rather vote for the left-wing rapist over the conservative one?

The thing is, the rape victims would do the vote, but only the women with the top 50% most amount of votes or some percentage like that actually get believed, so it forces the jury to decide which cases are true and which are fabricated. Not all the women who vote would vote in favor of the woman. YeshuaBought was raped and she didn't believe the Kavenough accuser and she's a centrist.
You bring up one person to try to "prove" objectivity??? Women especially are likely to believe "victims". Kinda where the whole "believe all women" crap started (in feminist circles). How about an unbiased jury of peers who rely on evidence instead of people being blinded by potentially misplaced empathy?
Now, I will say that Biden probably did it because he is creepy af, and there is that suspicious Larry King clip, but I won't say anything for certain.

@HistoryBuff
So you want to create a jury of biased individuals to judge people? That is a horrible idea. People who have been the victim of a specific type of crime are much less likely to be objective on the subject. They are much more likely to take the side of the accuser. That would completely corrupt the judicial system.
Hey look! We agree on something for once.

Not sure about this all being a lie, but it is definitely overblown in my opinion. There is a virus. The death count, however, is likely higher than the real count as coronavirus deaths can be counted without documented evidence. Also, the death rate is probably much smaller than expected based on early antibody tests in NYC.

We'd probably have better relations in the Arab world without Israel. We unilaterally defend a country they hate.

Corrupt, or not, the UN is the organization legally recognized to offer sovereignty of a nation, and no one else. Practicality says that unless another group is internationally authorized to do so, the UN is your go-to. You may not like it, but, there it is. Would you prefer anarchy? Who says you always get what you want? You?
There wasn't widespread anarchy before the UN was established. Just nations acting in their interest.
Now let me strawman you:
Would you prefer that China, Russia, and Mexico control our country? Who says you always get what you want? You?
