Is America In The Danger Zone?

[ADodgeStratus]

Hey everyone I'm new here. I wanted to say hi and I guess this is the forum where you discuss politics. Looks like you do alot!

Hey what do you guys think of black lives matter? I think they're a racist, violent organization determined to ruin America all the time.

What do you guys think?

[waauw]

The issue of 'racism' lately is the same as that of 'feminism'. Too many people are using it as a pathetic excuse or insult for being themselves oversensitive, hence bastardizing the term.

The whole 'black lives matter' issue is ridiculous and is a mere side-effect to widespread fear among american police officers when confronted with an armed populace.

Don't mind Bernie, he's just a little grumpy after his favorite politician lost in Nevada.
Also he might have drunk 15-30 pieces of an american beer crate.

I want to know your opinion of Hell's Kitchen.

I think Ramsay is a blowhard who values his own opinion too highly.

[ADodgeStratus]

I find Hell's Kitchen to be exciting and entertaining, as well as heartwarming, however, as a Dodge Stratus, I only care about motor oil and gasoline, and feel a little left out when it comes to the sensations of taste.

What did you think of Daytona?

[ADodgeStratus]

That son of a bitch owes me forty bucks.

[riskllama]

bernie, be nice to new folks, please. 1 post is hardly damning evidence of being a troll.
also, @ wauuw : nice one.

[ADodgeStratus]

Wait, did that son of a bitch Dodge Daytona also join this website? He's a serious bully, don't believe his lies.

More like a lot of people are now in a position to point things out. Institution Racism is a huge problem.

I agree, but far from as big of a problem as some of these activists like to make it. You can't blame an officer to be a bit on edge when faced with a delinquent, who may or may not be carrying a concealed weapons.

Presumption of guilt doesn't bother you at all?

[TA1LGUNN3R]

It must suck to be given consciousness as a motor vehicle and having been manufactured as a dodge stratus. That's like being born as nietzsche.

I tried to scream "why how dare you" to my creators, but it only came out as honking. That alerted other sentry guards and I was busy escaping their nightmare test labs so I will have to give them a piece of my mind some other way.

It does, but so does human nature. You can't blame a person for a normal psychological reaction. Put police officers in dangerous situations and they are bound to make mistakes. Mortality rates for crimes are higher in the US than they are in the rest of the western world.

Clearly the only successful resolution to the race issues in America are to arm the minorities to the teeth so the playing field is level again.

To be fair, I'm suspicious of everyone I don't know. And some I do know more so than most. I'm an equal opportunist.

But, if we did that, the right wing Republicans would scream for gun control!

Well then there's your long game.

It's not a multi, it's just saxi's brother who lives with him.

I think that's where the concept of institutional racism comes in to play. The individuals in the institution are not necessarily racist, but the structure of the system they operate in is inherently discriminatory and enforces a larger racist system.

I know, I know, sounds like academic nonsense, but it's pretty solid if you look past the big words. The Black Lives Matter movement is the same argument from grassroots. Targeting individuals who are racist does nothing when the system is the problem.

Well, I have to be honest here. I don't actually know THAT much about american institutional workings. All I know is what I've seen on the news, which is people protesting and blaming certain cops who were merely doing their job.

I'm more interested in american foreign and economic policy than this topic.
