Polls: Society & Politics

So we all saw the horrible death of George Floyd. And I will not deny that that particular officer was racist. I will not deny that some police are racist. I will not even deny that some people are racist. But I do not think that America overall has a race problem.

I hate how the media loves to publicize when a white man kills a black man. Y'all know I'm from Chicago, and I see more deaths every weekend (especially in summer) than ALL deaths from police IN A YEAR. If white police are racist for killing a few black people, then how racist are fellow black people for killing each other? What about the countless Latinos killing each other because of gangs?

If America was racist, why do so many other countries want to come here? Nobody dies trying to get to Canada, and Canada's a liberal's wet dream not too far from here. (Don't give me that bs that it's "too far up north" when Dominicans go to New York and Mexicans come up here to Chicago. You're telling me they can't go up a few miles farther north? LIES. We are better and more welcoming than Canada).
If America was so racist, why would Dems push for more immigration? It's pretty fucked up that they would push for it if they truly believed they'd be mistreated simply for the color of their skin. (LIES, we are treated pretty well).

Don't trust the media. We are not some wild west where anyone with pigment in their skin is a free target. The truth is, we are treated well here, better than our mother lands. And we'd rather be here than in all those other liberal utopias (Canada, Europe, Australia). Many of us our extremely religious and gun friendly.
I'd post sources, but liberals in general don't care about them and I waste my time finding them. I still love all my liberal friends, but I just can't even have a conversation without y'all hurling insults and posting shitty memes instead of actual data.

This evening as I watch the Protest in D. C. in front of the White House, I notice this sign one of the protestors is carrying.

I am interested to know your thoughts.

I am Not simply asking if you like it or don’t like it- Though I do want to know that of course.

I also wish to know what you think it means to the carrier - I e What do you think the intended message is.

I also wish to know what it means to you.

I will leave my thoughts out for now, as to not influence anything 😊

P. S. The protestors are demonstrating very peacefully 🌟🌟🌟

Thank You 🌺

I want to see what people think about Black Lives Matter.

Yes, what happened to Floyd was terrible. But he was no innocent victim per se as he had a criminal record. And I find it comical in a way that African-Americans go bonkers about **criminals** killed by cops (like Fergurson 2014) but when a black man/woman who **isn't** a criminal is blatantly harassed (black lawyer harassed outside a courthouse years ago, dead silence) or killed (guy shot multiple times reaching for his wallet, dead silence) they're quieter than the grave.
.
Besides it's not like they're the only people who face discrimination, harassment, racism or racial profiling in America. Natives, Asians, Mid-Easterners, Hispanics, religious (Catholic/Protestant, Jews), and even Europeans (Italians, French) depending on where in the US... to be honest the list is bloody well endless.
.

The only real difference is Blacks riot, they loot, they destroy property - once again over what is often a criminal - and they more or less to degree destroy their neighborhoods in "protest". They run companies out of the area with this stupidity - what business wants to risk rebuilding / putting their employees at unnecessary risk. They increase the stigma by racist individuals that they are little more than law-breaking individuals. They basically fuck themselves over & then bitch when nobody wants to have anything to do with them.

I totally agree with it. People can't generalize one race or gender to blame for some citizens problems

@chriscdt I'm sorry 😂

He fought long and valiantly, but won't admit his final defeat in the name of being a gentleman. 😠
GIVE ME MY CROWN!!!

I’m not saying I do by asking this question I’m asking if YOU do.
