A white perspective of Racism and White Privilege in the US

renders your posts significantly baseless.

Well that's the pot calling the kettle black.

Yep, that did quite give me a laugh out loud moment.

This forum deserves better than that!
If you cannot support what you claim, best not to make the claim to begin.
A lot of information is freely available to anyone caring to look for it in relation to matters raised in this thread.
I regularly post links so people can check for themselves, if they have not already, that what I post is reasoned.
Give it a try.

Perhaps you could supply some evidence for your claim then, Robbie?

May I humbly offer the suggestion that you are all looking in the wrong direction for a villain in all this. All of the issues here is just stuff on the margins which are quite easily solvable with the goodwill of all parties. We plebeians are merely reactive to the factors which affect us, according to our position in the hierarchy of things.

Even political parties and even administrations are largely reactive to greater factors.

The causative elephant in the room that nobody is even seeing is the role of Central banks, as has been so for centuries. Not just the Fed, all of them.

DYOR

Just what people call the deep state, the collision of monstrous interest of power and money, strong uber elites dominating the slaves that we are,not the 1% more like the 0.001%not even sure many Australian would qualify Murdock Packer Rinehart and most of these would be followers of the clique.
I mentioned earlier the Davos clique..you need money AND power and once there, it is a smooth ride
Dyor indeed

"If you ain't looting...you ain't black" -Joe Biden

It looks like the situation with the riots is a case of misery loves company. Can't say the Floyd protesters are right... they're not. The American govt/police are barbaric hypocrites too.

The lib/GOP media wants you to take a side. Refuse to take one as that's how they figuratively sucker you in. They're all bad. All crap.

Why are you spreading lies?

 

[moXJO]

Too many vested interests. However pallets of bricks are being delivered along with water and milk for tear gas. It's well organized.

My apologies.

The following is a joke and not to be taken seriously:

"Quoting" a blatant lie is not helpful to your already poor credibility.
Biden never, ever, made a comment like that.

Let's talk politics.
State guy was killed in:

Democrat prosecutor.

Democrat chief of police.

Democrat mayor

Democrat governor.

Worse affected areas: Democrat and they are failing at containing the violence.

Homelessness, racial discrimination, lack of opportunity and a future etc all ultimately contribute to the sense of hopelessness which many feel.

As with anything going badly wrong, there's almost always more than one cause. There's the trigger which is obvious but there's usually a lot more that was wrong behind the scenes beforehand.

I doubt that a single isolated incident would lead to widespread riots if not for underlying tensions that were already present. Same as a single component failure doesn't generally cause a structure to collapse and a single dud trade doesn't send someone broke. For that to happen, there were already serious problems.

On what levels would you like to discuss homelessness?

Is Earth but a speck of dust floating in an infinite void?

Powerful: Protesters Spell Out 'Love' With Burning Homes And Businesses

Note to: rederob and Knobby22
I understand you don't have a good grasp of humour so I'm just letting you know that
the above is a joke and I do not claim that this actually happened.

Some protesters must be taking shopping trolleys with them.

From the article:
As the deadline to get off the streets approached, bands of protesters marched through Manhattan and Brooklyn, and police simultaneously responded to numerous reports of roving groups smashing their way into shops and emptying them of merchandise.

The doors of Macy's flagship Manhattan store were breached, and police pulled two handcuffed men out and put them in a van.

People rushed into a Nike store in Manhattan and carried out armloads of clothing. Near Rockefeller Centre, storefront windows were smashed and multiple people arrested. Wreckage littered the inside of an AT&T store.

Video posted on social media showed some protesters arguing with people breaking windows, urging them to stop, but instances of vandalism and smash-and-grab thefts mounted as the night went on.

"We worked hard to build up the business, and within a second, someone does this," said the owner of a ransacked Manhattan smoke shop, who identified himself only by the name Harri. "Really bad."

After largely peaceful protests Sunday, groups of people poured down the sidewalks in Manhattan's chic Soho neighbourhood and other areas overnight, breaking into Rolex, Kate Spade and Prada boutiques and electronics stores. Hundreds of people were arrested.
"People are doing this so next time, before they think about trying to kill another black person, they're going to be like, 'Damn, we don't want them out here doing this ... again'," New York City resident Sean Jones said as he watched the destruction.

"It's disturbing because I'm 100 per cent behind the protesters and against police brutality and bad cops killing people of colour whenever they fricking want to, but this is a different story," said Ruby Packard, a teacher and longtime SoHo resident.
