Sure, electing a racially insensitive jerk will ABSOLUTELY solve all the racial problems in America, Skull!!

So far... Obama's saying stuff that white policemen are naturally racist are getting police officers killed!  And we know Hillary's INCOMPETENCE in the Middle East got 4 people killed.

How many people had Trump killed so far - NONE!

I'm so much happier reading the Bible ( including commentary ranging from fundamentalism to people claiming Jesus never existed) and skateboarding than being so involved in politics and the stock market.

People are online 18 hours a day and they are getting worked up about all this stuff. What did they say in the 60's turn on and drop out. falling between the cracks isn't as bad as they make it out to be

This is a tragedy

[I do blame Obama and the Democrats for these anti-police protest]


Do you want more of this? vote for Hillary! (And never Trumpers - your no vote/3rd person vote is a vote for Hillary!)

This is...ugh. Seriously, We know you hate Obama and Hillary, but come on now.  This  is gonna make people angry at you, do you want people to be angry at you?

All I know there  are two things certain in life - Death and Taxes. If you like to know more about Death; some look at religion for answers or put their trust in science - either direction you go your still using FAITH that the source is reliable. Taxes is much simpler - follow the politics.

I had not followed the shootings earlier this week; although I know they are one sided and unusually the side of the perp. All serious - everybody in prison claims to be innocent (but we know they are not.)

lol... I'm not sure what they said about the 60's but most of the players in government are from the 60's...

Black Lives would never exist if Obama didn't use the shooting of Michael Brown for his political game for his second term. Fact Michael Brown was a thug that tried to steal a policemans firearm!

Sorry.. but those cops killed in Dallas was OBAMA'S FAULT!

[lester1/2jr]

skull - my point was more along the lines of; you don't have to care so much about this stuff. You don't have to hate Black Lives matters or support black lives matters. we weren't put on this earth to be footsoldiers for popular tweeters or talk show hosts.

Oh jeez, this is..this is just wrong. I seriously hope you aren't that serious, that there is tin foil level conspiracy. I can't tell you how much I want Rev to lock this thread for fear that this is going to end with a giant fight. It's all Obamas fault that the media would milk something out for profit, isn't it? And by saying that it's Obama's fault, aren't you trying to push for Trump's plan then, by bad mouthing a group we know you hate? This is just....UGH.

Tin foil? Like the FBI saying Hillary did no wrong with her Secret Server even thought it was AGAINST THE LAW TO HAVE A SECRET SERVER. How about this one... did you know that the top secret server cannot send emails to any place, the emails had to removed from the source *thumb drive* to another computer so Hillary can receive them to a secret server... oh but that's tin foil... 

Obama wanted to win 2nd term and he pull everything he can to get that win. The Ferguson shooting was an opportunity to jump on (aka never let a good crisis go to waste).

I can't tell you how much I want Rev to lock this thread for fear that this is going to end with a giant fight.

I don't see any fighting here... If you don't want to reply then don't.

It's all Obamas fault that the media would milk something out for profit, isn't it?

No... It's Obama fault for saying the bulls**t he said. All the media does is repeat what Obama said.

And by saying that it's Obama's fault, aren't you trying to push for Trump's plan then, by bad mouthing a group we know you hate? This is just....UGH.

Maybe you can prove me that I'm wrong...

I think there is far too many people not doing there homework because they don't want to care about this stuff. Sorry but I'd assume that's what you were talking about.


If black lives really matter - why are they not protesting the violence in Chicago?

Partisan politics makes folks miserable. I guess arguing about it gives people an illusion of agency. I dropped out of taking sides between Republicans and Democrats (and Libertarians and Socialists, and everyone else) years ago, and have never regretted it once. In fact, if anything, I'm dogmatically apolitical.

My point is, Skull, that there is a deep and bitter racial divide in America which predates Obama (and all of us in this discussion, for that matter).  It has gotten worse in recent years, and I will agree that Obama probably could have done more to unite rather than divide us.  But if you think electing Trump is going to somehow magically fix this cultural division, you're smoking crack.  No president can fix this - it's gotten too out of hand!  It doesn't matter if Hillary wins or Trump wins, too many blacks will still  hate cops, too many cops will pull the trigger when they shouldn't, and too many whites will insist it's all the black people's fault.

THE ONLY THING that can solve this divide is if people actually focus on loving and helping each other instead of blaming and hating each other.

and you think I'm smoking funny stuff.

I'd already said... Trump winning the white house is not going to be an instant fix. All it's going to do is expose the American People who the Democrats and the Republicans really are. It's going to be an eye opener because the Democrats and Republicans are going to shut down the government and threaten impeachment (or even try to impeach Trump) meanwhile Trump is going to expose them.

What could fix this Racist BS? Peace and love is not the answer.

Make those self-appointed black leaders accountable for starting riots... We need to put these idiots in jail.

[indianasmith]

What would be your process for determining who started the riot?
The one who gave an inflammatory speech, or the one who threw the first brick? 

There is this little thing called the First Amendment.
