Yea a lot of those cases are justified. But they're others where the suspect where being difficult and uncooperative not attacking the police (for example, Sandra Bland). In a free country, you shouldn't die for annoying the police.
Speaking of Sandra Bland, another young black woman mysteriously died in the same exact jail recently. If that doesn't raise any eye brows, I don't know what will.
at this rate, these ****ing idiots are helping to get trump elected.
Don't see why. Did the shooter at Sandy Hook have any political effect? Or do Americans love guns so much that instead of restricting their access they'll vote for Trump to punish black people when they shoot cops(not white people who massacre children)?

These kinds of events could possible flip more Hispanics and other nonwhite/nonblacks for Trump. Possibly win over more whites as well. That could boost Trump, particularly in Arizona and Florida. The former is a state the GOP is otherwise in danger of losing.
I mean, blacks are pretty much turning the entire country against them now. Not just whites. If Trump were smart, he'd make a few big statements backtracking on illegal immigration and Mexicans, and double down on BLM and Muslims. And he may do that - I'm certainly not convinced his position statements are necessarily indicative of his deeply-held beliefs. Rather, he's a political opportunist who will say what he thinks he needs to say.

From a few cop shooters? I don't think recent events are increasing anti-black racism and plenty of whites are fairly sympathetic.

No evidence it would.

It won't tie to guns but it might make increase sympathy for a "law and order" view of the world.

Turning? This country was always against blacks, for the most part, and not because a couple of "lone wolves" decided to retaliate against police. The race talk is exhausting, living it is exhausting, I really wish race didn't matter, but the world sucks, oh well.
Just saw my first Donald Trump youtube ad. I've seen a few of his videos from deliberately clicking on them, but never an ad come up pre-video. Hopefully for him, none will come up on non-American internet users. His campaign sent donation e-mails to European politicians.
It depends on what definition of ethnocentrism you use. Many dictionary definitions specifically mention beliefs about superiority, or the viewing of other cultures strictly to the standards of your own. That doesn't truly apply to me. But I am ethnocentric to the core in that my people come first for me.
but I don't think I am a reactionary; that's a word whose origins can be traced to the French Revolution. It has no really no applicability to my views. Reactionaries favor a return to the past. With respect to Ukraine, I'd really have to ask what past, and what specific aspects of the past, because there is a lot that no one in my camp would wish to return to.
