How long before they'd be squalling for police protection?

Posted by MEL (Member # 141) on 06-16-2020, 03:22 PM:

Probably as soon as something goes wrong where they live.

Also they want to open the borders release thousands of prisoners and if my rent house is empty or there are any rooms in hotels that are empty I or the hotels have to give the rooms to homeless people. That is just a couple of many things they are demanding not counting reparations.

To go along with the democrats way of thinking:

Nancy Pelosi just presented George Floyd's brother with an American flag in a pure photo op.

This honor is strictly reserved for the military who gave their lives for this country and for the 1st responders who gave their live for their community's.

This is an insult to all of what this country is about. She should be ran out of office.

I can't post the article and picture on here but anyone who asks I would be happen to forward it to them to their email.

Our communities are extremely vulnerable in times of crisis because of long standing oppression and inequality. Because of systemic discrimination Black people already face unequal pay in the workplace and have higher rates of unemployment. We must mold long-term economic solutions that not only address the immediate crisis but pave the way for a just recovery that doesn’t prioritize corporations and leave our communities behind.

Implement Paid Leave to reduce spread of virus and ensure safety of all:

Extend a mandated eight week paid sick leave to ALL workers (including full-time and part-time workers, contractors, and farm workers) in the public and private sector, without exception.

First, I guess the virus will be gone in 8 weeks?
Second, do these people even know what a contractor is?
Third, do they really understand where food comes from?
Finally, do they know how many businesses would go out of business? There goes their "mold long-term economic solution" theory.

It may seem insane to us, but the rise of BLM from a small, mistrusted group to one that is widely admired (by both blacks and whites -- 63% approval rating!) and has garnered tremendous political power practically overnight.

They have cowed our governors and mayors into submission, and have turned the democrat party into their "enablers" (along with the media, of course -- they are one and the same). If you dare speak out against them, you are likely to be fired or targeted for threats and retribution. If a city doesn't bow to their demands, they can flood that city with tens of thousands of "protesters", including violent thugs if need be.

They have established an "autonomous zone" in Seattle, taken over police precincts, and shouted down all alternative points of view.

Is this America? Do first amendment rights still exist? If someone cannot disagree with BLM without repercussion, then the answer clearly is no.

This all started because of a false narrative -- that there is systemic racism in America, and that police use excessive violence towards blacks.

But let's look at the facts. Over 18 police are killed by blacks for every black killed by police. Whites and Hispanics are both killed by police in larger numbers than blacks. Black communities are protected by police at risk of their own lives... how is this racism? How is this "targeting" blacks?

And don't get me started about economic issues. Morgan Freeman was recently asked if blacks face economic hardship because of their race. He said "no", adding that blacks need to pick something to focus on and wealth will come. I wonder how long until he is singled out for retribution?

The facts are that black businesses get preferential treatment for loans, they are given preference as vendors by the government, and many operate with reduced or no taxes thanks to "enterprise zones".

Blacks who enter the workforce get preferential treatment for hiring and promotion. Black students get preferential treatment when applying to colleges and universities. And on and on.

So, exactly WHERE is there evidence of "systemic racism"? If anything, it the 'system' is biased against whites! The whole BLM is based upon a false narrative, preached over and over by race hustlers and the democrats who profit from it. And now that the crowds in the street have tasted success, what is to stop them?

If the BLM were serious about black lives they would go into Chicago where 18 blacks were shot to death this pass weekend - this however doesn't mean money and power as they were killed by other blacks.

Selective focus by BLM and the Democrats and by the media!

Again, I harp on this but if it were not for trump the stock market would have already tanked, the country shut down because of a targeted virus and we would be in our homes with our guns out,

If Biden does get elected, be careful as our country as we know (knew) it will be finished.

China will be the only power in the world left but no fear Biden will be richer and he and his cronies will be in charge of a socialist govt...

And the innocent 8-year old kid gunned down in a drive-by in Cincinnati a few weeks ago barely made the news... because it wasn't a white person who killed him. You can't turn on the news Mon-Fri and not see a story of a black person killing someone, must usually another black person.

And you're right, Tip. White people aren't allowed to have opinions in this country anymore. If they do, they're considered racist.
