If all the whites are going to kill themselves, who's going to pay for the clean up?

After work, a platonic black female co-worker and I would get a beer and burger and unwind at a bar. In the course of our public friendship, there were several times I would get stared at with disapproval. Every time, the angry stares came from black men. Why did they have a problem with the...

Last year was the year of the versus. Us verses them. Men verses women. Black verses white. Cops verses black. Religious liberty verses government control... etc... So far, this seems to be the year of manipulation. We have republicans manipulating the base with a letter to Iran. We have...

Well, it has turned out that Scalise was giving a speech at the same hotel that the white supremacist group was having its meeting but that seems to be his only connection to David Duke. Scalise was giving a speech to the Jefferson Heights Civic Association. He gave his speech two and a half...

First off, let me apologize. I checked to find where Brawley apologized and all I could find was where she has started to pay for damages caused by her accusations. This is probably why I got confused. Anyway, error noted. Now, I can't help but notice you are changing the topic a bit. Sharpton...

David Duke hasn't changed from 20 years ago. Neither has Al Sharpton. Kind of my point. They are both anti-Semitic race hustlers. As for your request for seeing a link of Sharpton refusing to acknowledge the hoax. Here it is. From now on, you may want to look stuff up before you accuse people...

What we are seeing is the Clinton era moderate democratic party turning back into an extremist quasi- socialist system with its own built in politburo. We see this in the rhetoric that comes from the left. It's not just de Blasio implying that cops are racist while being Mayor of New York, but...

It's pretty obvious what's going on as some people contort themselves into double standards so they can support people whom they politically agree with. Hopefully, most people don't fall into this category. I think the best we can do on a personal level is to apply the same standards to...

Go back 20 years to power their hate? Is slavery less repugnant because it happened over twenty years ago? Please, I think you're just trying too hard to defend the indefensible. We both know you would not be defending David Duke by saying that he was in the KKK a whole 20 years ago and people...

Actually CEO was somebody else's term which I used since that's the analogy the other poster used. If you believe De Blasio has made things better then can I assume you're not part of his police force or current resident of New York?

If your argument is that the police are acting badly then it would stand to reason that their boss (CEO) is at least partially responsible. Unless you think a good "CEO" has no control over his workers. Unless of course, you think de Blasio's police force is above reproach. I find it interesting...

So this begs the question. What's worse, employees turning their back on the CEO or the CEO turning his back on the employees. Can we at least agree that de Blasion is not a CEO that inspires confidence in his employees?

One can argue that the cops are being childish by turning their backs on de Blasio I suppose. However, I would rather have the cops being "childish" than the mayor being racially divisive for political expediency. As sins go, "childishness" seems to be one of the least destructive. Focusing on...

I agree with you ClosedCaption. I don't think black racism has affected this white guy too much. For one reason, the black community is bogged down under the weight of its own high school drop outs, prisoners, joblessness, poverty,hatred for each other, drugs, violence, broken families, etc...

I don't care that you are drowning in a pool of long debunked fallacies, two year old talking points and creative math, but you should really try watching the news sometimes. Seriously, how do you not know that Obama apologized for being wrong?
