The time for peaceful protest is past.
"Weakness invites aggression" applies equally as well to the protesters as it does to the forces to quell the riots.
Ready to start Civil War II then? Based on what? The irony of this seems to escape liberals who act as champions of gun control infringements of 2A, and then begin talking like this
We have been "peacefully" discussing civil rights since the '60s. We have not ended separate but equal. Today separate but equal is enforced by consolidating low income people in subsidized housing serviced by bus routes controlled by local government.
I read that and thought-- not so in small town America. Probably true in large urban areas that are controlled almost exclusively by Democrats. Are you getting the picture yet?
We have an economic subsidy system that financially rewards broken families. Reduces benefits to unemployed who try to enter the work force. Provides training with job skills not needed in local communities. A system that today has raised 3 generations of people who have NEVER held a job. How in the fuck can you call a system like that beneficial?
Agreed. The answer, however, is not some Universal Basic Income. If you don't believe me, go to a Native American Reservation in the great plains states.
We have a health care system that funnels the sick to emergency rooms for the most costly care in hospitals already stressed beyond capacity and unable to cope with providing health care at a level the rest of the nation receives.
Yeah-- all kinds of inefficiency there. The Social Medicine systems of the UK, Canada, and Europe don't work either. We DO have versions of those systems here though-- the VA, and the IHS (Indian Health Service)-- go read about how well those systems operate. They suck.
We have an educational system that acts as a day care center and alternate food source for the impoverished.
I have worked in K12 education for 25 years. There is SOME truth to it, but it usually can not be a blanket statement for every school. Avoid absolutes in your statements. The greatest detriment to education has been the political power wielded by teachers unions, IMO..... but that is a deep subject.
We have a police force that contains crime to designated "High Crime Areas" and is prevented from directly addressing crime prevention for fear of racial profiling. We scapegoat police departments for political reasons until none of the people we want on the police force will join forcing local PDs to hire what they can get, not who they want.
We have local politicians so in the pocket of drug syndicates that counter drug operations are a joke.
60 FUCKING YEARS we have been discussing and peacefully protesting and the result is SHIT!
We have two political parties that work TOGETHER to maintain the status quo and misdirect WTP from solutions to greater conflict for their own personal gain.
I listened to a congresswoman talk for 7 minutes. CNN put her on and introduced her as someone offering real solutions. 7 minutes of platitudes and political talking points. Those are not solutions.
Mostly agree... probably not on all specifics.
We can solve this shit right now.
A welfare system that continued benefits to people as they began a new job until employer benefits kicked in.
we have that.
Staged compensation allowing new workers to receive supplemental income until their earnings exceeded state sponsorship.
the $600 per week MORE in unemployment due to COVID is an example of what NOT to do.
Consolidating VA, Medicare, Medicaid into a National Health Service in state owned and operated facilities providing improved healthcare at decreased cost.
If you want something REALLY F'd up, put the government in charge of it. BAD IDEA COMPLETELY.
Job training sponsored by the military and business to teach skills needed by industry not skills that were just easy to teach.
We Do That-- the colleges continue to fight and denigrate any education that does not result in a Bachelors degree. See Mike Rowe.
The solutions are there but platitudes is what we get from talking heads.
LEADERSHIP in this nation come from the people. LEADERSHIP is what you are now seeing from the mob. Tear it down and rebuild it better! That is what WTP are TELLING TWR. TWR???
The real solution cannot come from a president. Any president. If it could Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton or BO would have changed the nation but they could not. It must come from congress. A congress who we have all admitted owes more loyalty to special interests groups and has forgotten their obligation to SERVE WTP! This is a wake up call to them.
Truth
I cannot fault protesters because they do not verbalize solutions like I have. The educational system they were forced into saw to it that was not possible. They cannot be blamed because WTP gave them an education inadequate to meet their needs.
Bullshit. Students are not absolved of responsibility for THEIR OWN EDUCATION. I have witnessed homeless kids get straight A's. I have witnessed rich kids act like thugs and get straight F's. I have witnessed actual GANG Members get legitimate straight A's. Education is what you make of it.
But WTP can lead the politicians into working properly by supporting the rioters.
BULLSHIT--- you do not support RIOTERS. WTF are you saying here? Again--- looking for Civil War II or something??
60 YEARS and if MLK were still alive he would still be looking for the promised land. Even Moses today would be saying What The Fuck?
If MLK were still alive, he would have been #MeToo'd right off the national stage. Same with Kennedy and many others. LBJ was a racist asshole.
Malcolm X had it right. Plymouth Rock has landed on the black people of this nation and they are still stuck under it.
Malcolm X the racist who perpetuated violence? That Malcolm X??
60 YEARS? Burn it down.
