Do as I say not as I do, huh libs?

You saw zero black faces in any of those photos? If this was a test based on what you saw, you'd get an F.

I hope you're never the victim of a crime committed by a brown or black person. You'd be telling the cops he was white.

Interesting. I'd like to read about this in more detail. Source? Link?

Thanks.

Funny thing is the conservatives have this magic formula but repeatedly failed to deploy it.


What are they waiting for??

Get out some and talk to conservatives.

Many conservatives get nervous when they hear Democrats speak of what they think are bad ways to fix inequality. They worry that Democrats want "equal outcomes" regardless of effort or ability. They worry that Democrats subscribe to white privilege when it is largely cultural differences between the two groups leading to different outcomes pointing to Asians beating whites in virtually every major life outcome. Etc...

Plenty?

Can you name a couple of these conservatives that have policies to reduce income inequality?

Tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and trickle down economics don't count.

The Republicans couldn't say the same thing about Democrats because blue states and blue cities are economic engines of this country while red states/red cities are mostly poverty struck hell hole. Seriously, what is one place where conservative economic ideas are making that region prosperous and booming like the blue states??? There is none. Even Texas' economy has to be anchored by four liberal blue cities. Yeah, you think CA got to be prosperous by producing equal outcomes regardless of effort? Please.


Forget trying to fix anything, conservatives should really just focus on not screwing things up at this point.

Many people love to blame Democrats for Chicago's problems. Many fail to look at Madison,WI. Capital and 2nd largest city in Wisconsin. Home to UW-Madison. It has an unemployment rate of 2.1%. Madison had 11 murders in 2017. Madison has a population of 255,214 as of 2017, up from 233,209 in 2010. Madison has only had one decade where the population dropped, 1980. Madison's economy has a high tech base, biotechnology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, health. Madison is thriving. It is a very liberal city. It's a card carrying liberal city. It's dominated by liberals and this city is thriving. It has a murder rate of 4.3 per 100,000.
