Race

One of the big problems I've found with race relations is that there are too many people in leadership roles out there who personally benefit from greater inflaming of race relations. Whether it's a politician using fear to drive people to the polls or a leader of a special interest group who sees increased donations the worse things get, you have too many people on all sides of the issue with a stake in things staying bad.

It's a problem you see in some businesses. People use your business as a solution to an issue they have but if that issue is solved permanently, you're out of business. For example, if I make light bulbs that never blow, I'll sell a bunch initially and then see my sales plummet as the demand drops due to people not needing to replace bulbs.

The same is true with something like race relations. People involved in the issue will see their ability to extract benefits out of the issue diminish the more the issue is resolved. And I'm not saying this is one sided. You have people on every side imaginable extracting benefits from racial tensions at the moment. It really makes me question how many of the leaders involved actually want real improvement.
 
So they’re taking a play out of the Republican playbook


But if even true

none of that has anything to do with anything

So, great point

this country handled 9/11 so well that 9 years later, an Islamic center

couldn't even open up in Manhattan without a huge controversy being created.

the space was literally blocks away from the WTC yet it was being

labeled the "ground zero mosque"


the booing last night of players and coaches, black and white arm in arm, this past summer
and the above all fresh in our minds,

yeah, it is BLM that has no interest in unity
////

and those three instances are what is fresh in our minds

That is disgusting.

I'm glad its just mean words and not shooting them in the face and then trying to block the ambulance at the emergency room.

CONFIRMED: A source familiar says City of Louisville has

agreed to pay Breonna Taylor’s family $12 million.

Note: The city also says it will implement reforms.

The officers involved in Taylor's death have not been arrested or charged.

If you pull the PDF and look at it, you'll see this:

"We requested arrest data from every local police department we could identify in Massachusetts. Although a few departments provided us with data in a usable form, many did not respond or provided data in a format that could not be readily aggregated and analyzed, such as pdfs or printed arrest reports. For this reason, we were unable to provide an analysis of arrest data in this report."

That's a huge hole in this report. I'm not saying it would show no racism. It's just a massive hole I've been complaining about for a while. Police departments need to be more forthcoming with data.
