Ahmaud Abery, George Floyd Killed; Hidden Racism in America
Last few weeks on the news has been about the chase down and killing of Ahmaud Arbery. Today, George Floyd was suffocating with a cop's leg on his neck while he was laying motionless, and while other cops stood by. Video is brutal and I don't understand how some conservatives are arguing he is resisting arrest.
hidden?
Yeah, hidden wasn't the right word but mostly racism deniers that try to hide it. Conservative block on the Supreme Court literally ruled that Obama being elected President proves that racism doesn't exist and repealed most of the Voting Right Act. Fox News still denies it exists.
Honestly, Fox News is just so beyond me. Just a complete trash fire of a journalism outlet.
You can argue the economic pros and cons of voting Republican and think they might be better for our economic health (I’ll disagree but sure you can make some cogent points) but if you can’t tie a link between this shit and “conservative values” (i.e. racist dog whistling for decades that is now moving to just saying the quiet part out loud) you’re just being willfully ignorant.
I agree, white privilege - especially in regards to American policing, is blatant and disgusting.
This is stupid.
Democrats were the segregationists and held slaves.
That is completely irrelevant given literally every single person alive in that time period is dead and such a TIRED response
Go look up the southern strategy for a more near-term example that has had meaningful repercussions on today’s world.
So much this - I'm probably somewhat more fiscally conservative compared to most democrats, but after Trump I just cannot bring myself to ever vote Republican regardless of how left the Dems go.
The GOP absolutely have to reinvent themselves - I'm praying all the anti-Trump rhetoric from Romney right now is essentially to position himself as an alternative for 2024. I may not agree with him always, but atleast any differences is just based on economic policy.
You're going to be disappointed. This is the base of the Republican party that Fox News caters too. They've already denounced Romney as a fake Republican and called for his resignation. You know the party has shifted drastically when the last 3 nominees (Romney, McCain, Bush) all oppose Trump and are the only ones in the Republican Party with the spine to vote against him.

fuck the police
There is no such thing as systematic racism in America. Black people need to stop complaining and playing victims and start taking more responsibility. They're just way too entitled. White people live in fear of a black person ruining their lives...
Careful bro, people here will begin to think you're serious and that you've turned a new leaf
You are a convincing troll lmao
From the US DOJ, via Wikipedia. When comparing raw percentages, note that there are about 5.5x as many white people as black people in the US.
