Change this big only comes when people in power feel uncomfortable and are forced to act. That means be large, be loud, and be heard. I don’t support damage and violence and it’s unfortunate that that stuff happens but this movement is real and I think its gone beyond the breaking point.
I look forward to seeing who is behind this movement, that has sprung out fully formed from George Floyd's death, like the Big Bang singularity sprang from an infinitesimally small dot into the universe that still expands to this day.
Spasms of anger and built up frustration happen from time to time (LA riots for instance). This is more than that...talks of defunding law enforcement prove that. The organization behind these riots prove that.
Antifa proves that! Socialist tentacles reach deep!
You can only blame the black underclass for so long. At some point you need to work towards resolving the situation and that involves systemic change. I know that’s a buzz word for you but how else do you think change will happen and be accepted. You’re going to have to reflect on that which you defend and compromise just and BLM will need to reflect on their own and make changes. IMO the police need better training and stronger accountability. Communities need better education and public programs to reduce crime and promote employment and a healthier lifestyle.
I can rightfully blame the black underclass for as long as they trail the rest of America in every social metric measuring stick we know of.
In education, in crime, in single parent homes, etc.
You can pour water into a bucket with a hole in the bottom for only so long before you decide to plug that hole. Whole generations of Asians come to this country with nothing more than what inner city kids start out with (less when you consider the language and cultural gap they start with) and they wind up filling our
country with professionals of all sorts.
They have one advantage. A thirst for success and the willingness to achieve it. I'm not going to invoke all sorts of cultural differences here. The results of the two groups speak for themselves.
Excuse the cliche but shitholes like Baltimore, Chicago, Oakland, St. Louis, Philadelphia, LA, NY, etc. (democrat
fiefdoms all) are festering rat infested dumpsters that are breeding grounds of crime, poverty and ignorance.
One part of America is climbing a ladder to the top while the other wallows in miserable failure.
And just as success pulls up others failure spreads out and drags others down.
There are good solutions out there if we can just get to talking about them. I’d bet we’d actually agree on most of them. The problem is we spend all are time with the stupid partisan fights about whether there’s a problem or not and whose fault it is and what terms are being used and who’s lying and manipulating for power. Let’s move past that noise
I look forward to seeing the solutions I think we both would like to see. I think political failure all around is as good a place to start as any.
I can't remember a politician that gave people something to vote for rather than against.
