Nice to see you quoted this post, considering how you usually duct most of mine you can't argue.
Nothing obtuse at all. You make the mistake of assuming that you make posts that are worth argument. Nah. You make posts about me. I make posts about the topic. That is the difference.

All your attempts to discredit this topic and the people who post in it that you disagree with, simply fail. If you expect serious response, then make serious posts.

So what cities in the USA recently experienced riots where buildings were burnt, businesses destroyed, places looted, fire hoses cut, peoples lives put in danger etc etc etc. at the hands of roving, out of control Hispanics where the President is forced to call them criminals in the national press?

I know the local newspaper here in Indy likes to stir the pot with divisive issues, instead of finding common ground most folks can agree on.

You shouldn't do exactly what the thread is discussing.

Nope. Willingness to discuss fact, instead of distracting it is what the media does. I'm sure if you had an answer to my question you would have stated it. Since you don't, you are left with the very tactics used by the media.

The MSM's biggest failure in the USA these days is they don't ask hard questions.

Did I specifically point out Hispanics, or did I state every group? Also, did you see me state "majority" or did I simply state "taking part in".

I never said that Hispanics where the majority of the perpetrators, I said every group took part in the actions you've described. You honestly think there weren't any, not a single person of Hispanic descent that took place in the riots over injustice and police brutality?

I noticed not only have you conveniently avoided the video link I posted earlier, but it also appears that you and many others on this site seem to have very selective memories.

That's capitalism for ya. Sensationalism and Divisiveness = higher ratings = higher advertising rate = higher compensation for personalities and execs = higher income for Tesla = higher income for Elon Musk

See, Elon Musk is at the root of all evil.

Considering I have 1.1k more rep points than posts, it seems my "attempts" are quite successful.

But I understand. You making blanket generalizations about a particular race (haven't demanded that Whites can't use certain words in the English language - I can't imagine what that is reference to ), and then act as if you don't know what particular group you were referring to.

Then once you're called out on it, you then attempt to turn it on the poster, and then label it an attack or nonsense as a way to avoid addressing their counter/claims.

Railman96's post provides evidence that rioting and looting is not a racial issue, but a societal issue. Different contexts.




That is not debatable.

I already gave you an example. Mexico. A place where they didn't do anything until it was too late. Or other South American countries.


What's sad is that its OUR DRUG WAR that's causing the mayhem in their countries.




Americans here are doing something that is going to benefit the ENTIRE WORLD.
