Hopefully this serves as a lesson to both people involved.
Too bad I don't know your real name, Id love to turn this over to authorities.

The focus on police brutality was really a political distraction from having to deal with serious issues.

But I think the public and the media got somewhat bored with the Black Lives Matters protests. I'm not saying that bad things can't happen with cops but we all know this was not the real story.

Ferguson was so 2015, it's 2016 now.
Poverty decreased after Lyndon B Johnson's programs, it stopped decreasing when Nixon got rid of a lot of these programs. I don't think social welfare programs are as much to blame for poverty in American cities as deindustrialization and the flight of the middle class which means less tax revenue which means worse services, like schools, which can greatly help with social mobility.

I mentioned nothing about Ferguson. I did mention the bashing of poor people and that someone's post was full of stereotypes. I guess thats why your upset.

and you labeled me a "racialist." How nice.

Thanks for the label as usual.

Superb job.

Jason Melo probably thinks he is a 'nice guy' too. He was just pushed to do this!

Any guy who refers to himself as a 'nice guy' immediately puts up red flags.

Most blacks are incarcerated for drug charges and not violent crime or homicides.

Much of the "crime situation" is related to the War on Drugs which targeted blacks in inner cities. Anti crime legislation signed into existence some time in the 90s made mass incarceration worse. The situation in Ferguson brought these issues to the forefront.

There is nothing wrong with a person calling himself a nice guy. Of course they could be lying. It's up to a person to find out. Sounds like him and her have some issues.

Notice White people weren't impoverished by the deindustrialization. They had better jobs, access to credit, access to better schools, etc.

Many Whites bought homes with subsidized mortgages or even co-ops or condos. For those Blacks living in housing projects, when they die they have no property and most likely no other assets to leave their children. Being on social problems disproportionately is a direct cause of Black wealth being 5% of White wealth (Black income is 60% of White income).

Good points. I don't think many of the racialists on this forum will agree with you though. They're still full-bore on the 2015 nonsense. lol

No, you made an asinine comment about how the racialist mindset makes you think this would be a different discussion if the perp was black. This guy's a savage no matter what color he is.

Anyway, you are a racialist. All you talk about is is the racial aspect of every thread posted. That makes you a racialist.
