    Do you think that race should be a shield that protects those in it from all criticism? If so, does that apply to all races, or only yours? How can you validate that parameter?

    Has it occurred to you that the football incident would have applied to any race of player taking the same position, but because of our racial progress, we have allowed black people to become dominate in the game of football, become heroes and pay them millions of dollars, thus the players in the incident happened to be black because most football players are black?
    Did Trump say "Get those black sons-of-bitches off the field"? No. You read that into the statement. YOU, not Trump.

    Not being familiar with the Central park rape, perhaps you can show us where that statement specifically said they should get the death penalty because they were black- or did YOU just assume that too?

    Have you ever been to an African country? Many are indeed "shitholes". Not just a malicious label- while coarse, it's a valid and accurate descriptive term for many places in the world, not just in Africa. I've been in a few, where that term would have been generous.

    Have you ever been to Baltimore? I have. Like many older large cities, there is a lot of decay- and a lot of people who make no effort to keep their homes or their city a decent place to live.
    Baltimore is one of the most rat-infested cities in the nation. People who track such things like the pest control industry and health departments document it. Currently with the restaurants having closed and the food supply there diminishing, the rats have been invading homes more than ever. Getting rid of rats requires shutting off access to food, water and places to hide and breed- and that requires good housekeeping. The kind of people that set fire to private property when they are unhappy don't really do much of that. Older, inner cities all have this problem. Baltimore has topped the list several times in regards to rats. And do you have any proof Trump's comments referred to black people in Baltimore, or did you just assume that too?

    NOT a know fact to my knowledge, but one I've never seen claimed anywhere. It's more a fantasy of the liberals than anything else. Onthe other hand, I've seen a lot of infiltration of extreme liberalism into universities and government, of preference given to those with liberal beliefs. If I was going to say any group was trying to swing the pendulum, that would be it in spades.

    To ask about a party's response is partisan. But if you insist on playing that game, how about this response from the Presidential nominee, Biden?

    “Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response,” he said. “But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.”

    By doing what? And Fox isn't the only network which is not separating protestors from rioters/looters. The entire media is basically just referring to protests and protestors. And I'm sorry, but if there wasn't looting and rioting, but just purely peaceful protesting, do you really think that it would be getting the media attention that it's getting? Of course not. The looting and rioting IS the real story here, and sensible people know that there are many people who are doing this peacefully and want nothing to do with the rioting - it doesn't require the media to report this. Also, I don't seem to recall the left wing media focusing too much on the peaceful protestors during Charlottesville, do you?

    Whatever "Google it" does not prove your point. I suggest less media matters and npr.

    However everyone should get self defense training and become involved in their local communities.

    Oh I see, but we NEVER see cases in which black people, even while carrying, are dealt with properly by the police?

    There's no evidence that black people are killed by police more than white people.

    Assumption. Pure assumption.

    Giuliani said it looked like capital murder, and that all the cops were complicit in the crime.

    So then why are you asking what murders I'm referring to?

    Giuliana also condemned the entire management of the police department.

    Spin and denial. Take your pick....

    "More white people are killed in police shootings than black Americans, but overall white people are statistically less likely to be killed by police than black people."
    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/do-police-kill-more-whites-than-black-people/

    "The Post‘s data does show that unarmed black men are more likely to die by the gun of a cop than an unarmed white man…but this does not tell the whole story. In August 2015, the ratio was seven-to-one of unarmed black men dying from police gunshots compared to unarmed white men; the ratio was six-to-one by the end of 2015."
    https://www.dailywire.com/news/5-statistics-you-need-know-about-cops-killing-aaron-bandler

    "Black Americans killed by police twice as likely to be unarmed as white people"
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/01/black-americans-killed-by-police-analysis



    I'm going to bet you don't reply to this.

    The murder is on tape. But I've never expected you to condemn it. I said "Republican high profile politician". I would expect at least some of them to condemn it.

    And you came to that conclusion because the protesters are black?

    The trumpian mind-frame is: "They're black. How could they not loot!" It's what I said before.

    Ridiculous. Non-black footballers joined their black team mates. Did you see white faces as black or something when you watched that footage?

    Apologising would've certainly been the right thing to do, but there's no evidence that he didn't apologise specifically because they were black.

    Not ALL obviously - just the ones that were being discussed. Not a great word to use, but it's not racist obviously. Those countries are poor, underdeveloped countries which is so clearly what he meant - it's essentially what shithole means. It's funny, normally people on the left focus on him asking why more immigrants can't come from Norway, but not you.

    You're ASSUMING that he was referring to black people. You're making a connection between rats & roaches and black people - that's a little racist isn't it? I've certainly never known of any connection! I also thought that one or two WHITE folk also lived in Baltimore, so if he DID mean the citizens, he was including white folk too logically.

    Where the hell did you get the idea that that's support for the rioters? You don't need to answer that. I watched Fox coverage of the protests last night. So I know where.

    In the Trumpian mindframe:
    White Protesters with guns = Protesters
    Unarmed Black Protesters = Rioters

    Yeah, I did see that. A little late from Biden though isn't it? I also love how you sourced that from Fox! I wonder how many left wing outlets are covering condemnations from Republicans! Safe to say NONE I'd bet.

    DUH, ya, the Democrat governor of Minnesota (one of many and very obvious) ...take off the blinders..


    Well , first one has to take off their blinders...and then they would see that both mayors condemned the actions of rioters and looters...and praised all the THOUSANDS of peaceful protesters and all those who came out to help with clean up, provide neighbors and first responders with food and water ….which Republicans carefully CHOOSE TO IGNORE.


    Please show an actual FACT ( for a change) that the mayor was "useless"..


    NOW show a Democrat who praised the rioters and looters.....

    To be fair, she's messaging her support for the PROTESTORS, which should be separated from the human waste THUGS! However, she should also be messaging her condemnation of the thugs and I'm willing to bet that she hasn't done that or will ever do that.

    Well they're not all black are they. I mean, come on, talk sense. Those antifa human waste THUGS are pretty much all white guys.

    There's nothing wrong with praising protestors. You say "BOTH mayors." Mayor of Minneapolis and which other?

    For not condemning the rioters. I'm happy to be proven wrong as always.

    They're not THAT stupid. I never suggested that they have praised them!

    Again, with the partisan nonsense. I don't care what source is providing the information. And I don't care what outlets are saying on their channels. I rely upon my own intelligence to source out the truth. And as for Biden being late to the party, I provided a quote of his condemnations. That refutes your contention that Dems are not speaking out against the violence. No need to belittle it with your time stamp.
