&lt;i&gt;You sound like a Brit. &lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;ll have to pardon my accent, MC, but I&#039;ve spent a lot of time in the mother country, and I have a way in even though they&#039;re not lettin&#039; US in. Right then.

Can&#039;t help myself. Just watched &quot;Hamilton.&quot; 

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Ahm from &#039;Murica. You Canucks shore talk funny.&quot; &lt;/i&gt;

Darling, I am from South America... 
Scratch that... make that: South, America. 
Punctuation can make such a big dang difference, 
You can hang your hat on it, 
Bet the farm on it, 
Take it to the bank, and
If that ain&#039;t a fact, God&#039;s a possum. ;)</description>

Very well said, sir, exponentially so.

&lt;i&gt;I&#039;m so glad I have New York immediately to my south.&lt;/i&gt;

One man&#039;s North is another man&#039;s South. World perspective... go figure.

&lt;i&gt;I&#039;m being deliberately provocative because the time has passed to be subtle. &lt;/i&gt;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In New York you can be a new man. 
In New York. 
Just you wait.  

Alexander Hamilton 
We are waiting in the wings for you
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
When America sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

&lt;i&gt;CV19 is turning into a culling in the US and no one seems to give a fetid dingo&#039;s kidneys.

Fuck the statues, fuck the union flag, and fuck all &#039;left-wing fascists&#039;. I would start worrying about the big picture shit now, CV19 is jumping Trump rally-goers and rioters equally, that is, without care for whom it swallows up. &lt;/i&gt;

And it&#039;s swallowing up my South while they do nothing.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I&#039;m past patiently waitin&#039;
I&#039;m passionately smashin&#039; every expectation
Every action&#039;s an act of creation
I&#039;m laughin&#039; in the face of casualties and sorrow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, I just watched &quot;Hamilton&quot; again, and I am &lt;b&gt;definitely &lt;/b&gt;not throwing away my &quot;shot.&quot; :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;So then, who is this inimitable Mr. Hunt? How about a visual representation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjnpqFXuNzc

What&#039;s a &quot;complete plonker?&quot;

The diametrically opposed visual representation of Mr. Hunt.. you know a &quot;plonker&quot;... a winkle, a tadger, Mr. Wang.

Right then... clear as mud? ;)&lt;/i&gt;


You sound like a Brit.


Um, I &lt;i&gt;think&lt;/i&gt;? your referring to, er, a &quot;male front part,&quot; as they got my little grand-niece calling it.

Ahem.


&quot;Ahm from &#039;Murica. You Canucks shore talk funny.&quot;</description>

&quot;Jesus, these Trump morons are stupid!&quot;

What I find astonishing is there are downwards of 40 million Americans to-ing and fro-ing that actually believe the US is leading the world with its response to CV19, despite the reality before them to the contrary. What leaves me scratching my melon is, there&#039;s a whole segment of American society being systematically pulverized by lies and has been beaten into a mass with a shared delusion of Trumpian infallibility. And that huge obvious lie (or for want of a real honest to goodness use of the word &#039;Hoax&#039;) is standing right next to reality gainsaying every crystal truth for all to witness.

Here&#039;s a touch of irony that Trump masterminded all on his own. It seems like only yesterday he was referring to places like Rwanda as shithole countries, today that shithole has reduced its myriad of plagues and poxes to the point where its people may travel freely within the EU and elsewhere. Today, Americans aren&#039;t allowed off the continent, shit, we just jettisoned a herd of lepers for not sticking to our quarantine observances. 

I&#039;m so glad I have New York immediately to my south.

&lt;i&gt;Are you always so hard to get along with or is it that you just don&#039;t like music? &lt;/i&gt;

Mommy Dearest: 

I&#039;ve been playing piano fluently since I was 6 years old and own a Bechstein Grand M.

Do you think inventing utter asinine bullshit about other people and typing it into the form of a question makes it any less troll-like? 

You seem as equally interested in political debate as the trolls you routinely enable. Take your stale board mother routine and sod off.</description>

Have you seen &quot;Poor Deplorable Troll&quot; yet?

&lt;blockquote&gt;
The President says &quot;Cut out all that testing!&quot;
A notion health officials find bizarre.
But see, he&#039;s terribly annoyed
By all the dead and unemployed
Because he only cares about his own PR!

~ Randy Rainbow 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4599acmA1Q &lt;/blockquote&gt;

The President says "Cut out all that testing!"<br />
A notion health officials find bizarre.<br />
But see, he's terribly annoyed<br />
By all the dead and unemployed<br />
Because he only cares about his own PR!</p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;President Donald Trump’s determination to preserve iconic statues and monuments is so profound and all consuming that he’s apparently extending his policy abroad. 

In a round of new digital ads, the Trump re-elect asks people to support the president as he stands up to the angry mobs trying to tear down iconic memorials. In one specific ad, the endangered statue that the campaign spotlights happens to be the famous Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“The President wants to know who stood with him against the Radical Left,” declared dozens of ads run over the weekend on pages for Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. The ads featured a graphic with an image of the Christ the Redeemer statue above the text, “WE WILL PROTECT THIS.” The photo appears to have come from an online database of free stock images. 

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-camp-vows-to-protect-brazils-most-iconic-statue-from-left-wing-mobs &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Can&#039;t help but wonder the number of sheer blinding dimwits in the Dumbass Donald campaign who saw this asinine drivel yet not a single one of them could identify the iconic world famous statue located in another effing country.

&quot;WE WILL PROTECT THIS&quot;

The poor MAGA rubes are outraged -- I tell you -- outraged that the angry mobs are going to tear down Christ the Redeemer in Rio! 

Jesus, these Trump morons are stupid!</description>

		<description>I almost forgot, the etymology of the word &#039;decimate&#039; dates back 2500 years to the early Roman Army (or late Etruscan, depending on how precise you wish to be). Decimation was a punishment for legionaries who had deserters in their ranks or just plain cowardice while in battle. Decimation was the counting out of every tenth man who would then be set upon by the other nine and brutally killed. 

So, if Michale is hitting a clip of 10% success in the refutation of all other claims but his own, I&#039;d say he&#039;s about on par with his pet in the White House. Whereas, I simply claim, as do most here, that his arguments are all absolute rhetorical republican sewage spewage.



Had to clear that up, it annoys me when folk use words they don&#039;t understand.

		<description>&quot;Yea, you said that almost word for word about this same time in 2016...

And then you disappeared after President Trump kicked Hillary&#039;s ass...

Are you going to stick around when President Trump wins again???

Or run away and hide again like in 2016???

Just let me know. :D&quot;

What colour is the sky in your world, Michale? 

I assure you, I was nowhere hereabouts in 2016 or 17 for that matter. I stumbled into the CW home for aspiring trolls two years into Trump&#039;s mess, redirected as it happened, by an article in the Huff. I like writers who don&#039;t punish the reader week in and week out with stale syntax and boorish repetition in the stating of a case. (I chuckled at CW&#039;s malapropism a couple of columns back, more because both words curiously satisfied the gist of the point being made, than it was a rare mistake)...

I digress. 


I fail to see the need to drag the US abortion devolution into the mix, it&#039;s quite obviously a shameless distraction from the unforced, needless death count of CV19. I, therefore, dismiss the entire argument because it&#039;s completely irrelevant, ergo, we&#039;re still left with 130k useless corpses where there was once 130k misinformed and lied to contributors to the collective experience. Were I to follow the asinine argument down its hole into its warren, I could easily say trump fucked all 130k of those deceased without a prophylactic and has been blithely walking them into the abortion clinics of CV19. 

[Before it&#039;s even suggested, I believe women have the right to preside over their reproductive engine, however, I am vehemently against abortion as a form of birth control. It&#039;s not for any religious bullshit consideration, it&#039;s because I don&#039;t believe in living with regrets and I certainly have no truck with the notion that life is so valueless that it can be stubbed out like ducks-arsed fag-end.] 

You do your nation a disservice when you conflate this pandemic with anything else other than that of 1918. 


I don&#039;t even want to discuss Trump&#039;s latest foe...The Left-Wing Fascists. Like most of Trump&#039;s delusional nemesis&#039;, there&#039;s no such movement as the Left-wing Fascists. 

The stable genius should stick to shoveling horse shit and leave the thinking to the educated, lest he takes the hit as a scathing indictment of the American School system on top of all his other monumental catastrophes.


I close with this; Michale, you mentioned heart surgery in an earlier helping of spam... Were you having one put in, or one removed? The statement was ambiguous at best.

&lt;i&gt;In fact, California and New York, where high numbers of abortions occur, are not included in CDC figures. &lt;/i&gt;

Neither is Florida, where you&#039;ve admitted you murder them by the millions at truck stops all across the shithole state.

&lt;i&gt;Once again.. Michale DECIMATES ya&#039;all&#039;s bullshit claims with ***FACTS*** &lt;/i&gt;

Once again, you&#039;re full of baby gravy up to your eyeballs, the admission for which you have been awarded the Weigantia &quot;pull it sir prize.&quot; Winning!

&lt;i&gt;Gods, I missed this.. :D &lt;/i&gt;

Because you&#039;re a troll... the resident spooge troll who doesn&#039;t give two shits about political debate.</description>

The last time I was harassed by police was when I was working grave yard. On my off days I kept similar hours. My &quot;crime&quot;, driving at 2:30am...

Every new Sheriff deputy had to pull me over to fish for a DUI. Got to the point I was driving through that town at exactly the speed limit, exactly in the center of the lane, about as perfect as possible, more perfect than I&#039;ve ever seen a cop drive, and I would still get pulled over. One time the excuse was my license plate light was out. One of them, I had two. Boy did that get old fast. But I have experienced this kind of thing my entire life, starting at about the age of 8. Luckily I&#039;m white and naturally polite so it&#039;s never developed in to something more. 

Search youtube, there was some really questionable stuff. One has a cop pinning a protester to the ground, grabs a stick, puts it in the protesters hand and then proceeds to beat the shit out of him because he was &quot;armed&quot;. Cops walking up to peaceful protesters and just unloading pepper spray into their faces. Way too many members of the press have been attacked by police as well. 

Keep in mind, it&#039;s not the single act that causes these protests. The single act is merely the spark for a whole lot of perceived grievances. Usually the tender event is quite questionable. To focus on the specific spark and ignore all the other stuff is Michale territory... 

&lt;i&gt;If black children are being told that Michael Brown did NOTHING wrong and that it was just the evil police man who murdered Brown for no reason, then the next young black man that believes it’s his right to refuse to obey an officer and then is killed when he attempts to take the officer’s gun — his death in on YOU! &lt;/i&gt;

The flip side is what were Michael Brown&#039;s life long interactions with the police that made what he did seem like a good idea at the time? 

&lt;i&gt;“officer’s had not turned their camera on”&lt;/i&gt;

Well why the hell not?!. I noticed that a few got fired for exactly that, not turning on their camera when required. If it&#039;s optional, then it offers little protection for the rest of us or the police. There have been a few stories I&#039;ve read recently about cell phone footage brought to light after the incident that seems to contradict the official police report...

&lt;i&gt;Think about it: would you risk your career and possibly your freedom to cover up a criminal act that does not benefit you in any way for a co-worker that you might not even like?&lt;/i&gt;

If it means by not doing so you are singled out and will have a hard time moving up in your career, or make an enemy of the cop you turned in who will just be protected by the police union, it&#039;s not so easy a call...</description>

&lt;i&gt;So, in other words, black American lives don&#039;t REALLY matter to you.. &lt;/i&gt;

Wrong. What he actually said was you swallow them whole by the millions at every truck stop in that shithole you live in. You didn&#039;t deny it... so it&#039;s a fact. You&#039;re a black baby killer by the millions. Thanks for clearing that up. 

&lt;i&gt;And I have the FACTS.... &lt;/i&gt;

So you&#039;re saying you swallowed all the Black and the Orange babies. Glad we cleared that up, you baby murderer.</description>

&lt;i&gt;You are working overtime to avoid talking about Trump’s failure to even address the coronavirus, his continued refusal to speak out against Russia’s hiring Taliban fighters to kill American soldiers, or his crazy hate-filled speeches over the 4th of July weekend. &lt;/i&gt;

Yep!</description>

&lt;i&gt;BOO HOO! You swallow about 1 MILLION potential Trump voters at every truck stop you frequent.... so what??!!??&lt;/i&gt;

Heh! Facts are facts, right Russ? 

The vast majority of abortions since 1971 have been performed on poor uneducated whites... basically your Trump voting MAGAt profile.

http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/abortion/usa_abortion_by_race.html 

&lt;i&gt;And there weren’t 1 million abortions performed in this country across all races last year according to the CDC, so once again your FACTS are lies. &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, sir... nailed it! :)</description>

		<description>And I have no problem with you choosing to use the Guttmacher Institute’s stats... because they reported that we haven’t had a million abortions in a single year since 1997!

Wow!   You really just cannot bother to think before you post, can you!?!?</description>

&lt;i&gt;&quot;This is not your blog to police&quot; &lt;/i&gt;

Giving my opinion that someone&#039;s material is stale is an opinion I&#039;ll post when I please. It would be quite different altogether if I endeavored to tell Elizabeth Miller that posting her political opinion was off limits on Sunday night because I said it was forbidden. 

If you can&#039;t tell the difference between an opinion and and the kinds of orders that Elizabeth Miller feels she is entitled to force on the entire forum, then you are exactly the effing moron most everyone here claims that you are.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;And I have the FACTS....

61.8 million abortions every year..&lt;/i&gt;

Oh, this is so much fun!   Hey, dumbass....look at your post again!   

&lt;b&gt;Total number of abortions in the U.S. 1973-2018: 61.8 million+&lt;/b&gt;

From 1973 -2018, an estimated 61.8 million abortions occurred... that’s over 45 years; not one year!  Tell me again how you have the facts!  

You actually believed that last year there were as many abortions performed as in the previous 45 years combined!   Geez, you seriously suck at this!</description>

		<description>Bashi,

&lt;B&gt;It&#039;s not the official numbers that people are protesting, it&#039;s the general feeling backed by some evidence and many anecdotes that when the cameras are turned off or no one is around to film via cell phone, stories change, reports become fraudulent, stuff happens and cops cover their collective asses and don&#039;t do their job. Even as a white guy, I&#039;ve experienced it. And I&#039;ve seen many examples during protests. There are very long youtube videos going around of nothing but cops not doing their job during the current protests, when they know the cameras are rolling. I mean if they can&#039;t even control themselves then, what are they doing when no one is watching? Cops have power and are abusing it. A lot of that abuse is directed at African Americans. That is why there are protests.&lt;/B&gt;

Curious about what exactly you have experienced?  When you claim that the police are “not doing their jobs” during the protests, what are you referring to?   I have seen video of police officers letting the crowd get to them with their words and responding with pepper spray, which is just stupid to let someone goad you into acting against them, but wondered what else you have seen.   

I want to back up and address this first part: &lt;I&gt;It&#039;s not the official numbers that people are protesting, it&#039;s the general feeling backed by some evidence and many anecdotes that when the cameras are turned off or no one is around to film via cell phone, stories change, reports become fraudulent, stuff happens and cops cover their collective asses and don&#039;t do their job. &lt;/i&gt;

I am thrilled that you recognize that these protests are not necessarily about the actual events and are more about what these events represent.  I had a conversation with a person who claimed to be on BLM’s staff recently about my issue with BLM — that the martyrs they claim were unjustly murdered by police were killed by their own actions and the police responses were justified by law,   I thought I had them cornered with the argument that BLM was not actually concerned with the facts about Michael Brown’s  death, they were more interested in promoting what Brown “represents” (AKA the fictional version of Brown’s death).  

I admit that I was not prepared for them to respond, “Yes, what Brown has come to represent IS FAR MORE important than the actual details!”   I have to say that on one level, I respect the hell out of them for their willingness to admit that was true; but as I tried to point out to them, unless you are willing to honestly debate the facts of the case, then you are not seeking “justice”!   

If black children are being told that Michael Brown did NOTHING wrong and that it was just the evil police man who murdered Brown for no reason, then the next young black man that believes it’s his right to refuse to obey an officer and then is killed when he attempts to take the officer’s gun — his death in on YOU!  

Police reform will not stop that child from dying!   

Also, I would like to point out that the media loves to say that “officers had turned off their cameras” when there is no video recorded.  But it is more factual to state, “officer’s had not turned their camera on”.  Do you see how the two paint different pictures of the officer’s intentions?     Any officer that turns their camera off while on a call better have a damn good reason for why because that’s a fireable offense in any department that has body cameras!   (There are legit reasons to cut it off — sexual assaults where they need to put the victim at ease, a teenager that hung themselves so the family never has to view their child like that again, etc.)

As for police officers having each other’s backs... of course they support their own until they are provided with evidence that would cause them to withdraw that support...just like you do with everyone that you view as being part of “your people”.  And they really do when they are being accused of wrongdoing where it is not about whether they actually did anything wrong and is instead focused on a perceived wrong based on anecdotal evidence!  (Do you see how this is kind of a problem!?). But that does not mean that they cover for each other!  

Think about it: would you risk your career and possibly your freedom to cover up a criminal act that does not benefit you in any way for a co-worker that you might not even like?  No, of course you wouldn’t.  And neither would most police officers.  Also, remember that most of these Officer-involved controversies are isolated events that happen in real time... there is no way for “good cops to turn in the bad cops”.

Sorry if I rambled at times, but I felt your comment deserved being responded to by someone other than the troll.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Sounds like white power pissants decided to get revenge for taking down their Confederate statues. “Blame it on AntiFa and BLM!”

You are working overtime to avoid talking about Trump’s failure to even address the coronavirus, his continued refusal to speak out against Russia’s hiring Taliban fighters to kill American soldiers, or his crazy hate-filled speeches over the 4th of July weekend.&lt;/I&gt;

So you have NO FACTS to address why The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party would destroy Fredrick Douglouss Statue, eh???

Do you have any facts that any group BESIDES AntiFa and BlackLies Matter are in the statue/monument destroying business these days??

No??

Of course not.. you NEVER have any relevant facts of ANY kind...   

Yer funny that way..  :D</description>

		<description>Russ,

&lt;I&gt;It&#039;s called ABORTION and it kills almost 1 MILLION potential black voters EVERY YEAR...

BOO HOO! &lt;/I&gt;

So, in other words, black American lives don&#039;t REALLY matter to you..

Glad we have that on the record..

&lt;I&gt;And there weren’t 1 million abortions performed in this country across all races last year according to the CDC, so once again your FACTS are lies.&lt;/I&gt;

According to the CDC!!??? 

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Of course the CDC (AKA Center For Gun Control) are going to pad the stats for The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party..

DUH.....

The FACTS say something completely different, Russ..

&lt;B&gt;Abortion Statistics
Current United States Data*
Total number of abortions in the U.S. 1973-2018: 61.8 million+
186 abortions per 1,000 live births (according to the Centers for Disease Control)
U.S. Abortions in 2017: ~862,320 (Guttmacher Institute)
Abortions per day: 2362+ (GI)
Abortions per hour: 98+ (GI)
1 abortion every 96 seconds (GI)
13.5 abortions / 1000 women aged 15-44 in 2017 (GI)

The Guttmacher Institute totals are actually the more accurate since the Institute conducts private research on abortion providers throughout the country and because not all states are required to report to the CDC. In fact, California and New York, where high numbers of abortions occur, are not included in CDC figures.&lt;/B&gt;


Once again, you have Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party propaganda....

And I have the FACTS....

61.8 million abortions every year..  

Abortion is the NUMBER ONE KILLER of black American lives...

Given these FACTS, it&#039;s clear that you don&#039;t really care about voter suppression or racism or black American lives..</description>

		<description>That&#039;s what&#039;s so hilarious about Vick &amp; Blathy et al...  

They NEVER have **ANY** facts to support their claims.

Even Blathy admitted that it was all about &quot;feelings&quot;...

All they have is personal attacks...  Never a lick of relevant fact about anything..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;It&#039;s called ABORTION and it kills almost 1 MILLION potential black voters EVERY YEAR...&lt;/i&gt;

BOO HOO!  You swallow about 1 MILLION potential Trump voters at every truck stop you frequent.... so what??!!??  And there weren’t 1 million abortions performed in this country across all races last year according to the CDC,  so once again your FACTS are lies.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;As far as your stats on blacks killed by police, are you sure?&lt;/I&gt;

Absotively..

&lt;I&gt; It&#039;s not the official numbers that people are protesting, it&#039;s the general feeling backed by some evidence and many anecdotes that when the cameras are turned off or no one is around to film via cell phone, stories change, reports become fraudulent, stuff happens and cops cover their collective asses and don&#039;t do their job. &lt;/I&gt;

Oh, so you don&#039;t have ANY facts.. It&#039;s just about yer feelings..  :eyeroll: 

Yea, that&#039;s what I figured..

&lt;B&gt;Even as a white guy, I&#039;ve experienced it. &lt;/B&gt;

I am sure you have... Being the scumbucket that you appear to be, I have no doubt you have attracted the attention of police..  

DUIs perhaps?? Domestics??  

I have NO DOUBT you have done things that drew the attention of the cops..

Oh, yea.. I am sure you are completely innocent..  :eyeroll:

&lt;I&gt;132,007 Americans dead from Coronavirus and counting...&lt;/I&gt;

Yea.. That&#039;s yer gleeful claim..

Still have NO FACTS to back it up...</description>

&lt;i&gt;Blaaa Blaaa Blaaaa &lt;/i&gt;

I speak several languages, but Trollvish ain&#039;t one of them. 

&lt;i&gt;You thought you got rid of me.. &lt;/i&gt;

Actually, you have no idea what I think unless I tell you. However, your standard projection of your modus operandi onto others is again duly noted. 

&lt;i&gt;The day is young..You still might.. &lt;/i&gt;

Stay... or don&#039;t. You have just as much right as anyone to post your opinion... ignorant, repetitive, and trollish as it may be. I will say CW is right about you throwing sand repeatedly; it just makes you look stupid and kicking someone&#039;s ass, alright... except it&#039;s your own admitted bigly bottom. Read what CW wrote; he did you a solid by explaining how ridiculous you sound. 

&lt;i&gt;But for now.. As usual... I OWN YOU... &lt;/i&gt;

You own a tiny intellect, an unmatched ignorance, a  repetitive stale routine, a deep and toxic hatred, and the complete and total inability to see yourself exactly how near everyone else here says you are. 

&lt;i&gt;And you STILL have no facts to support your claims &lt;/i&gt;

I rest my case on that stale routine.  

&lt;i&gt;And with you.. EVERYTHING is about me.. :D &lt;/i&gt;

Seek professional help; I&#039;m not kidding. You insert yourself into near every conversation on the board and disrupt the flow of actual political discussion with the same repeated dialogue over and over ad nauseam, and then you whine like a toddler that everyone makes everything about you... and that&#039;s the hallmark of a troll seeking attention. 

&lt;b&gt;So to recap:&lt;/b&gt; You&#039;re a troll. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;
Michale [14] -

Don&#039;t put on airs. You are a troll, but a more amusing one than most. Plus, you salt your trolling with sci-fi movie references. And you pay your way, at the end of the year in the pledge drive. So you&#039;re a very special troll... but a troll nonetheless.

Deal with it.

		<description>Oh, the hysteria!

Was that the shortest take your ball home in a huff episode in the history of this blog? 

The only facts I see are that you don&#039;t understand the history or makeup of political parties. Black lives matter are probably mostly democrats, but Anti-fascists are just those who reject fascism. Could be democrats, could be republicans, could be those of no political party affiliation, but the hardcore anti-fascists are a strange mix of anarchists and communists. The far far right of the far right mixing with the far far left. Strange bedfellows but hey, fascism sucks. But neither of those two groups are democrats. 

As far as your stats on blacks killed by police, are you sure? It&#039;s not the official numbers that people are protesting, it&#039;s the general feeling backed by some evidence and many anecdotes that when the cameras are turned off or no one is around to film via cell phone, stories change, reports become fraudulent, stuff happens and cops cover their collective asses and don&#039;t do their job. Even as a white guy, I&#039;ve experienced it. And I&#039;ve seen many examples during protests. There are very long youtube videos going around of nothing but cops not doing their job during the current protests, when they know the cameras are rolling. I mean if they can&#039;t even control themselves then, what are they doing when no one is watching? Cops have power and are abusing it. A lot of that abuse is directed at African Americans.  That is why there are protests. 

&lt;i&gt;Because they are made up, they are situationally dependent and can mean whatever anyone wants them to mean..&lt;/i&gt;

You mean like your entire rhetorical shtick?

132,007 Americans dead from Coronavirus and counting...</description>

		<description>Yunno, it&#039;s interesting..

There are several issues that are important to the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party...

Black Lives Matter
Voter Suppression
Racism

And yet, the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party also supports abortion most of all...

Now, let&#039;s look at the illogic of the Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party&#039;s position...

Abortion is the NUMBER ONE KILLER of black Americans..

So, right there.. Supporting abortion PROVES that, to The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party, Black Lives really DON&#039;T matter..

Abortion kills hundreds of thousands of potential black American voters..  So, logically, voter suppression is really no big deal to The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party....

Racism... Big concern of The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party..  And yet, by supporting abortion, The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party supports a program that kills THOUSANDS more black Americans than white Americans..

So, basically what I have just done is totally decimated the ENTIRE Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party positions on everything they hold dear...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;The illogic of waste, Mister Spock. The waste of lives, potential, resources, time. I submit to you that your Empire is illogical because it cannot endure. I submit that you are illogical to be a willing part of it.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Captain James T Kirk, STAR TREK, Mirror Mirror

I submit to ya&#039;all that your Party is a waste of lives, potential and resources.  And that ya&#039;all are illogical for being a willing part of it..

And now Democrats want to run the country..

On what PLANET is that a good idea??</description>

		<description>Kinda ironic..

Of all the FACTS that I have laid out today and in the past one glaring fact has never been touched by ya&#039;all..

President Trump has done more for black Americans in his first 2 years of office than the entire Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party has done in 4 decades..

At least that&#039;s what the niece of Dr Martin Luther King says..

And if you don&#039;t believe her, that must mean yer racist...

OK, that&#039;s not fair.. I shouldn&#039;t stoop to using Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party tactics..

But it&#039;s clear that Ms King is dead on ballz accurate..

Funny how no one here disputes Ms King&#039;s facts, eh??  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;That&#039;s odd, you always effervesce charm and probity. I can&#039;t imagine why you would feel unwanted or superfluous. &lt;/I&gt;

I know, right..

:D  

People who deserve it get treated with respect..

I have never kept it a secret..  I treat people exactly how they treat me..

If yer a prick, guess what??  That&#039;s what you get back...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;For those who would be our friends, you will find no more faithful friend than the United States..  For those who would harm our citizens and make war on us??  We can be faithful to that as well..&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-President Jack Ryan

&lt;I&gt; To think upper echelons in the US are playing a game of chicken with this virus staggers belief. &lt;/I&gt;

And yet, you had no words of caution when all the protests were going on, eh??

Funny how that is...  Going out and actually living one&#039;s life is &quot;playing chicken&quot;..  But you can sure go out and kill little girls and have protests and destroy American statues and monuments.

THAT is as safe as can be...

Do you realize how transparent your ideological agenda is???

&lt;I&gt;It&#039;s mindboggling that Trump and his supporters still think they have skin in the next election game. Trump&#039;s popularity has flattened and can&#039;t rebound, there will be a quarter of a million people dead by November. If that doesn&#039;t bite with the electorate, then nothing will. I have more faith in democracy, even that messy version in the US, to work and see Trump gone in disgrace and complete failure. &lt;/I&gt;

Yea, you said that almost word for word about this same time in 2016....

And then you disappeared after President Trump kicked Hillary&#039;s ass...

Are you going to stick around when President Trump wins again???

Or run away and hide again like in 2016???

Just let me know.. :D</description>

		<description>&quot;I wasn&#039;t here yesterday because I honestly felt I was no longer welcome here...&quot; 


That&#039;s odd, you always effervesce charm and probity. I can&#039;t imagine why you would feel unwanted or superfluous. 


Who&#039;s to say what constitutes prattle and mithering in the big scheme of things?


I do hope this CV19 loosens its grip on you lot down there, the only person I know that became infected was my cousin, a strapping 240lb, six and a half foot tall ex-professional football player, he came within hours of being taken off a respirator. To think upper echelons in the US are playing a game of chicken with this virus staggers belief. 

Trump&#039;s game of &#039;herd the cats&#039; is putting people in early graves. One would have to be fucking blind not see what a complete debacle trump, his lackeys, and his &#039;down-ticket&#039; dunces have made of this crisis. 


For the present administration to be hailing their efforts as anything but a complete clusterfuck that they themselves are wholly to blame is abhorrent. 


Almost as despicable is quietly trying to dismantle the healthcare of millions of people during a pandemic. It&#039;s just fucking lunacy and anyone who can&#039;t get past their partisanship to see it for what it is has the same blood on their hands as Trump. End Of.

&lt;i&gt;Now that two trolls have been warned and have both decided to do exactly what Chris has asked them to stop doing, it looks like anything goes here. Liberty! &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, sir. That ever-present sense of entitlement. #SSDD</description>

&lt;i&gt;lol. It&#039;s was actually quite obvious that your kumbaya party was destined to flop. People generally attend parties to have fun. When the party organizer has a cozy relationship with and desperately begs a toxic shithead to attend and everyone else knows it, the outcome is preordained. &lt;/i&gt;

Very well said, sir. Quite right. 

Anyone giving orders over and over ad nauseam that nobody on the forum can discuss political issues in the comments section of a blog actually designed for that very purpose and then requests the attendance of the most hateful toxic person on the forum in a manner recently contraindicated by the board&#039;s owner shouldn&#039;t be surprised if nobody shows.

The sense of entitlement is mind boggling.</description>

You thought you got rid of me..

The day is young..You still might..

But for now.. As usual... I OWN YOU...

And you STILL have no facts to support your claims

And with you.. EVERYTHING is about me..  :D

But, by all means.. Continue to go on and on about how I don&#039;t matter to you at all..

EVERY COMMENT you made today has been about me.. :D

&lt;i&gt;It&#039;s the fact I am required to only comment on the subject of the Commentary.. So, all CW has to do is pick safe Democrat topics and I&#039;ll never have any argument.. He is stacking the deck against me because ya&#039;all can&#039;t compete... &lt;/i&gt;

Ever the whiny victim and poster child for grievance. 

&lt;i&gt;I know you and Liz don&#039;t really WANT to compete but the lamers like Stig and &#039;nuck and Vick and Voice etc etc need all the help they can get and CW delivered it with a silver bow.. &lt;/i&gt;

Oh, boo effing hoo. Did CW make up fake quotes about you or endow you with attributes and feelings that never crossed your mind? You poor baby. You sure do whine about other posters a lot. Ever the perpetual whiny little victim of everyone else. I&#039;ve never seen a troll quite like you who trolls an entire forum and disrupts political discussion yet constantly whines about how &lt;b&gt;you&#039;re&lt;/b&gt; the victim. 

&lt;i&gt;Oh com&#039;on... Do you honestly believe that any of the authors I quote (Goodwin, Schlichter, etc etc) will read cw.com and take offense to how I use their work to kick Left Winger&#039;s ass??? &lt;/i&gt;

I agree with Mike on this. I don&#039;t read the vast majority of his repetitive spew so why would anyone else he could possibly name actually read it? We&#039;re all far too busy scrolling through the repetitive shit to actually read it... and since we&#039;re all here mostly not reading it in the same manner the authors wouldn&#039;t be here reading it, how exactly is it kicking anyone&#039;s ass? It isn&#039;t. It&#039;s just a whole lot of plagiarism and spam, spam, spam, spam that no one is actually reading. 

&lt;i&gt;On the other hand, I can totally see Vick of Voice or &#039;Nuck in a fit of anger having just got their asses kicked AGAIN, to try and make trouble with some of those people for CW because of me.. I can definitively see that happening.. &lt;/i&gt;

Please seek professional help for your pathological lying, victimhood and conspiracy theory gullibility issues. 

&lt;i&gt;But then, I have told CW I have permission to use the works, so legally CW is covered.. His legal defense is sound and assured... &lt;/i&gt;

*laughs*

&lt;i&gt;No, it&#039;s patently obvious that the Weigantian Peanut Gallery is burning the email oils to CW and he is getting tired of it.. &lt;/i&gt;

You have a screw loose. Seriously. 

&lt;i&gt;I can&#039;t say I blame him.. As whiney as they are in the forums, I can imagine how much of a pain in the ass they are over email.. So, I don&#039;t blame CW in the slightest for giving in and giving a leg up to the WPG because they need help so desperately... &lt;/i&gt;

*laughs*

&lt;i&gt;And, what&#039;s so ironic is all I needed was 4 more months... Actually a couple days less than 4 more months... &lt;/i&gt;

Post or don&#039;t post. I don&#039;t think the majority gives a shit whether you do or not as long as you stop with the damn walls of effing spam, spam, spam, spam that no one is reading and gets in the way of actual political discussion. 

&lt;i&gt;My plan was to be here til the election, rub ya&#039;all&#039;s (NEN) nose in President Trump&#039;s phenomenal win with 60% of black American vote. &lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;re clueless.

&lt;b&gt;So to recap:&lt;/b&gt; You a clueless ass. Get over yourself.</description>

I am abiding by CW&#039;s instructions as laid out by JL, someone who has more credibility here in his little toenail than you do in your entire empty soul..  

If I misunderstood JL or JL misunderstood CW than I&#039;ll accept CW&#039;s decree when he wakes up.....

In short, sunshine..  This isn&#039;t your blog to police...   

If ya don&#039;t like it, ya know where the door is..  You already bailed once..  But like the luser who always gets bitch-slapped you just don&#039;t know when ya been beat... :D</description>

Yea, that&#039;s yer continued accusation......

Yet, you have no facts to support your claim and I have a dead 8 yr old little girl in Atlanta and almost a million dead black American babies every year that proves my claims about your Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party...

		<description>One Paragraph

&lt;B&gt;No need to plead guilty
The fashionable doctrine of ‘white privilege’ is fatally undermined by the facts

It seems pretty obvious that Peggy McIntosh has confused class privilege with racial privilege. That is, she has led such a pampered existence and had so little contact with people outside her Harvard-Radcliffe bubble that she assumes all whites enjoy the same advantages as her — and not just in the United States, but across the Western world. Which is pretty offensive if you’re a victim of America’s opioid epidemic known as the “white death” because it disproportionately affects white people in the American South. One wonders how many victims Dr McIntosh has known? A survey of white adults born after World War II showed that between 1980 and 2000, just 18.4 per cent of white Baptists and 21.8 per cent of Irish Protestants — the main white ethnic groups to settle in the South — managed to get college degrees, compared to a national average of 30.1 per cent. Among those Americans of Chinese and Indian descent, the average was 61.9 per cent.&lt;/B&gt;
https://thecritic.co.uk/issues/december-2019/no-need-to-plead-guilty/

You see, this is the problem with made up words and concepts like &quot;white privilege&quot; and &quot;intersectionality&quot; and &quot;Obstruction Of Congress&quot;..

They all have one thing in common..

Because they are made up, they are situationally dependent and can mean whatever anyone wants them to mean..

They have absolutely NO BASIS in fact that can be agreed upon and are a &quot;one size fits all&quot; for any lame and factless point a Left Winger wants to make.

They are the BJ Honeycutt of politics...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;What does the BJ mean??&quot;
&quot;It means anything you want it to mean.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-M*A*S*H

Ask 30 Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party drones the meaning of &quot;white privilege&quot; and you&#039;ll get 30 different answers..

If it can mean anything, it actually means nothing..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;lol. It&#039;s was actually quite obvious that your kumbaya party was destined to flop. People generally attend parties to have fun. When the party organizer has a cozy relationship with and desperately begs a toxic shithead to attend and everyone else knows it, the outcome is preordained.
&lt;/I&gt;

http://sjfm.us/pics/3men.jpg

Each of those black Americans all had the exact same opportunities... The factors that made them where they are today are solely and completely a factor of their decisions they made...

There are no black Americans.. They are no brown Americans.. There are no yellow Americans.. There are only AMERICANS...&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;i&gt;You know Michale, you are the one who just doesn&#039;t get it. Trying to use one statistic to minimize and trivialize the other, is one of the MAJOR hallmarks of systemic racism. &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, sir; perfectly stated.

I would simply add that the continued plagiarism/posting without attribute and copyright violations of huge chunks of articles after being asked multiple times not to do that by the author of this blog are MAJOR hallmarks of an inconsiderate troll. 

The tone of the troll&#039;s post is one of the MAJOR hallmarks of the kind of poison (props to MtnCaddy) and seething hatred that on a long-term basis can lead to vasoconstriction, hypertension, transient ischemic attacks, and resultant mental decline (props to Bashi). 

&lt;b&gt;So, to recap: &lt;/b&gt; Pathetic but usual and customary display of victimhood, anger/hatred, insolence, and total inability to comprehend simple written English. 

Medication and education recommended.</description>

I&#039;m just a little upset right now, that he didn&#039;t even show up last night, not even to slap me upside the head, for crissake. :(&lt;/I&gt;

Thank you, Liz...  I apologize for being a prick to you this morning..

I wasn&#039;t here yesterday because I honestly felt I was no longer welcome here..

		<description>&lt;i&gt;And I can live with those kinds of restrictions... If anything, I&#039;ll simply find a different way to say what I read and put them down as my own words that make the same point..&lt;/i&gt;

Now, THAT would be some kind of refreshing!

Besides, you know I always click on your links, right??</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;&quot;institutional&quot; racism is gone, but there is absolutely still &quot;systemic&quot; racism. that goes back to the way the system was initially set up, during and immediately following jim crow. even if the pieces of the system didn&#039;t have a single consciously racist individual, it would still be a racist system because it disadvantages black people based on geography and bureaucracy.&lt;/I&gt;

It DID disadvantage black people.. There is no evidence to show it still does..  If all black people are disadvantaged, explain Dr Martin Luther King.. Hermann King.. Clarence Thomas...

Give me the facts of a black person&#039;s life in prison and I can show you exactly where his life went wrong.. No racism involved..

Just as give me the facts of Clarence Thomas&#039; life and I can point to all the good decisions that made him the man he is today..

Did you ever wonder why 99% of all successful black Americans are conservative???

http://sjfm.us/pics/3men.jpg

Each of those black Americans all had the exact same opportunities...  The factors that made them where they are today are solely and completely a factor of their decisions they made...

There are no black Americans.. They are no brown Americans.. There are no yellow Americans.. There are only AMERICANS...

Until The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party understand that, they will always be second best..

If you want to talk about geographical issues..

Why was it that we saw Wakandan shuttles in the streets of Oakland but not in the foothills of Kentucky???

Geography simply is..

It CAN&#039;T be racist anymore than a giant asteroid that hits Harlem and not Bel Air is racist..

It just IS....

Further, I would point out that there is very little difference between &quot;systemic&quot; and &quot;institutionalized&quot;..

But I guess you DO concede that there is no institutionalized racism..

That&#039;s a start and a LONG way from where we were over the 16 years you and I have been discussing this topic..</description>

		<description>Having said all of that...

&lt;i&gt; but do heed CW&#039;s advice and only post one paragraph of each article you cite -  and any article you do cite in more detail should involve a separate e-mail to CW certifying that you have the author&#039;s permission to do so.&lt;/I&gt;

If this is what CW truly meant and my restrictions doesn&#039;t involve limiting my subject matter???

I mean, let&#039;s face reality..

If I am never allowed to talk about anything that hurts The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party, then what honestly do I have to talk about???

Because EVERYTHING that is happening is hurting The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party...

So, if things are as you state above, then I feel like six different kinds of ass  :D...

And I can live with those kinds of restrictions...  If anything, I&#039;ll simply find a different way to say what I read and put them down as my own words that make the same point..

I spose that would be OK, eh???

So, I guess I&#039;ll shut up until I hear from the Grand Poobah...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;i for one am glad you&#039;re still around, and i think it&#039;s safe to say liz is too. but do heed CW&#039;s advice and only post one paragraph of each article you cite - and any article you do cite in more detail should involve a separate e-mail to CW certifying that you have the author&#039;s permission to do so.&lt;/I&gt;

If it was just that, I wouldn&#039;t have a problem.

It&#039;s the fact I am required to only comment on the subject of the Commentary.. So, all CW has to do is pick safe Democrat topics and I&#039;ll never have any argument..  He is stacking the deck against me because ya&#039;all can&#039;t compete...  I know you and Liz don&#039;t really WANT to compete but the lamers like Stig and &#039;nuck and Vick and Voice etc etc  need all the help they can get and CW delivered it with a silver bow..

of course, THEY can talk about anything they want (as this weekend proved) so apparently, the enforcement of the rules only apply to me.. 

Again, stacking the deck against me.. It&#039;s 1 against 20 and CW seems to feel the 20 need more help..

&lt;I&gt;that&#039;s not CW trying to shut you up; it could create legal issues for HIM, so by not sanctioning you for it he&#039;s trusting you to hear and comply&lt;/I&gt;

Oh com&#039;on... Do you honestly believe that any of the authors I quote (Goodwin, Schlichter, etc etc) will read cw.com and take offense to how I use their work to kick Left Winger&#039;s ass???  On the other hand, I can totally see Vick of Voice or &#039;Nuck in a fit of anger having just got their asses kicked AGAIN, to try and make trouble with some of those people for CW because of me.. I can definitively see that happening..

But then, I have told CW I have permission to use the works, so legally CW is covered..  His legal defense is sound and assured...

&quot;He told me he had permission, Mr Goodwin..&quot; &quot;I had no reason to doubt him Mr Schlichter..&quot;  and viola..

It&#039;s all on me..

No, it&#039;s patently obvious that the Weigantian Peanut Gallery is burning the email oils to CW and he is getting tired of it..  I can&#039;t say I blame him.. As whiney as they are in the forums, I can imagine how much of a pain in the ass they are over email..  So, I don&#039;t blame CW in the slightest for giving in and giving a leg up to the WPG because they need help so desperately...

And, what&#039;s so ironic is all I needed was 4 more months...  Actually a couple days less than 4 more months...  

My plan was to be here til the election, rub ya&#039;all&#039;s (NEN) nose in President Trump&#039;s phenomenal win with 60% of black American vote.

Of course, there would be interim wins (SCOTUS decides in favor of President Trump on the taxes issue, black American support for President Trump continues to rise, etc etc) that I could crow about..

That&#039;s it...</description>

		<description>&quot;institutional&quot; racism is gone, but there is absolutely still &quot;systemic&quot; racism. that goes back to the way the system was initially set up, during and immediately following jim crow. even if the pieces of the system didn&#039;t have a single consciously racist individual, it would still be a racist system because it disadvantages black people based on geography and bureaucracy.

		<description>&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;B&gt;Colin Kaepernick was ripped on social media over the weekend over his tweet denouncing the Fourth of July holiday -- which comes about nine years after he was celebrating America&#039;s independence.


Kaepernick posted a video showing the Ku Klux Klan, police brutality, slavery and lynchings. He denounced the nation’s 244th birthday as a “celebration of white supremacy.”&lt;/B&gt;

Ironically enough, all the KKKluckers and Police and those doing the lynchings and all the slave owners???

They were all Democrats..

Aren&#039;t ya&#039;all so proud..

&lt;B&gt;“Black ppl have been dehumanized, brutalized, criminalized + terrorized by America for centuries, &amp; are expected to join your commemoration of ‘independence’, while you enslaved our ancestors. We reject your celebration of white supremacy &amp; look forward to liberation for all,” he wrote.&lt;/B&gt;

Again, all the white supremacists that Cuppernutz is talking about are DEMOCRATS...  That&#039;s ya&#039;all&#039;s Party, iddn&#039;t it???  :D

Of course, 9 years ago, Cuppernutz had a different 4th Of July Message...

&lt;B&gt;Social media sleuths dug up a Kaepernick tweet from nine years ago where the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was asking everyone to have a “blessed day.”

“Happy 4th of july everyone I hope everyone has a blessed day,” he wrote at the time.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/colin-kaepernick-mocked-hypocritical-tweet-fourth-of-july

What a total moron and dickhead.. 9 years ago, Cuppernutz WANTED to celebrate White Supremacist Day and have it be &quot;blessed&quot; for everyone..

Whatta turd...</description>

<p><b>“Black ppl have been dehumanized, brutalized, criminalized + terrorized by America for centuries, &amp; are expected to join your commemoration of ‘independence’, while you enslaved our ancestors. We reject your celebration of white supremacy &amp; look forward to liberation for all,” he wrote.</b></p>
<p>Again, all the white supremacists that Cuppernutz is talking about are DEMOCRATS...  That's ya'all's Party, iddn't it???  :D</p>
<p>Of course, 9 years ago, Cuppernutz had a different 4th Of July Message...</p>
<p><b>Social media sleuths dug up a Kaepernick tweet from nine years ago where the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was asking everyone to have a “blessed day.”</p>
<p>“Happy 4th of july everyone I hope everyone has a blessed day,” he wrote at the time.</b><br />
<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/colin-kaepernick-mocked-hypocritical-tweet-fourth-of-july" rel="nofollow">https://www.foxnews.com/sports/colin-kaepernick-mocked-hypocritical-tweet-fourth-of-july</a></p>
<p>What a total moron and dickhead.. 9 years ago, Cuppernutz WANTED to celebrate White Supremacist Day and have it be "blessed" for everyone..</p>
<p>Whatta turd...</p>

		<description>OK..

So, we are all agreed..

Beyond Affirmative Action, there is no systemic racism in the United States..

I am glad we can find common-ground on this issue..

Now, can ya&#039;all get to work on getting black Americans to quit killing other black Americans, especially black American children??

Please??

It&#039;s YA&#039;ALL&#039;S Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party... 

Do something about it..</description>

		<description>TS,

&lt;i&gt;All unmoderated comment sections eventually become toxic. It is the Tragedy of The Media Commons. Trolling is easy, moderation is hard.&lt;/i&gt;

Oh, yeah, moderation is near impossible for most people around here. 

So, don&#039;t try to put this on Chris!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I&#039;ll be waiting to see if ANYONE can PROVE systemic racism in this country without the use of stats.. Cuz stats are just another way to spin the facts by cherry picking data sets... Choose the ones that support the bullshit and ignore the ones that don&#039;t..

So, ya&#039;all PROVE systemic racism in this country without the use of stats..&lt;/i&gt;

OK, I&#039;ll throw ya&#039;all a bone... 

I WILL allow ya&#039;all to use stats to try and prove systemic racism in this country beyond Affirmative Action..

BUT...

ANY stat you use **MUST** incorporate the criminality factor as one of it&#039;s datasets..  In other words, if you want to show that cops kill xx number of black people vs xx number of white people and you have a population data set, you MUST include the criminality data set.. IE xx black people commit crimes vs xx white people commit crimes..

So, now you should have it easy..

IF.... IF systemic racism in this country is as obvious and plentiful as ya&#039;all claim, it should be EASY to prove with stats..  ***AS LONG*** as one of the data sets includes criminality percentages..

There..  Ya&#039;all CAN&#039;T prove systemic racism...

So quit talking about it as if it&#039;s a thing..

Systemic racism in this country is like spiderman or god or the boogerman...  

Fictional creations... 

Unprovable because they do not exist..

It&#039;s really THAT simple...</description>

		<description>MntnCaddy - 3

All unmoderated comment sections eventually become toxic. It is the Tragedy of The Media Commons. Trolling is easy, moderation is hard.  There is an entire business empire devoted almost exclusively to trolling called Twitter. Virtually all comments on YouTube seem to be written by 8 year old boys - but for some reason I find it easy to just ignore them. 

Wankers are going to wank.  They cannot help themselves.  They are sad. 

Trolling results in comment nannyism.  That quickly becomes sad too. So, I am aware this comment is sad.

I&#039;m suppose CW gets useful feed back from The Comments...why else would he have not dumped the feature long ago?</description>

		<description>Well, I guess JM ran away instead of accepting the challenge to prove the US has systemic racism..

Shit, it would be so easy to do..

All he had to do was point to Affirmative Action..  

But JM chose to run away...

Typical...</description>

&lt;B&gt;An 8-year-old girl was shot and killed Saturday night in Atlanta near the Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks died last month.

Police identified the child Sunday as Secoriea Turner.&lt;/B&gt;

That&#039;s how The Democrat/AntiFa/BlackLiesMatter Party &quot;honor&quot; Rayshard Brooks..

They gun down an 8 year old little girl in cold blood...

This is the Party ya&#039;all support....

It&#039;s disgusting...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Thanks, by the way, for showing up last night. &lt;/I&gt;

Uh.. I didn&#039;t show up.. I was watching THE AMERICANS with my lovely wife..

&lt;I&gt;The whole point of the exercise and impetus for it was for you and others like you to take a break. &lt;/I&gt;

I don&#039;t like to take breaks with people who are part and parcel to a Political Party that guns down small children and their parents in the street..

I guess I am fucking funny that way...</description>
