The concept of innocent until proven guilty applies to court decisions, not to the figurative court of public opinion. Due process has nothing to do with your opinions on the subject. It has to do with procedural justice. There are still people who think that Clinton is guilty of something despite her never being convicted. Is that a violation of her right to due process? No, of course not. I provided a few examples and there is other info out there about the numbers. Then take it up with a Democrat. I've been introspective about the trash in my party.
I think so and I say that from my experience teaching senior high school students for more than three decades. Students today don't see the world through the lens of race.
Oh, so no need for Democrats to abandon white supremacy? Especially in the South. That's where Democrats racist policies were the worst (they were also bad in other Democrat controlled cities and states). Well, President Bush funded school vouchers for poor black at risk youths, President Obama took it away, and President Trump put it back (discrimination). Democrats want Central American people and Mexicans to pour over our borders for cheap slave labor wages (slavery). And finally, Democrats are for segregation in college dormitories (segregation).

Agreed Good point, however the guilt of Hillary Clinton, through her own words, is quite clear. Such was never the case with Donald Trump or his family. yet they were still attacked, and it continues. The number of convictions versus the number of complaints is very low. That suggests that 'hate' has become a catch-all term used by the easily offended. Glad to hear it and trust most feel the same way.
Reading comprehension fail #2. Try again. That isn't discrimination. If white kids got to keep the vouchers and black kids didn't, that would be discrimination. You've fallen for that lie? Really? What are you even talking about? DUD
I don't need you to make it simpler. The racism that is being sold exceeds what really exists. You altered my position and are now arguing with your own post. As racism/extremism continues to decline, the efforts to sell it as prevalent increase. If my argument is weak and racism/extremism is prevalent, you shouldn't have any trouble naming one thing that a person of color cannot achieve due to racism/extremism today.
These posts stand as evidence to the contrary. How did I "alter" your position? I thought you said you didn't need me to make it simpler? Let's try again: The. article. Isn't. About. The. Prevalence. Of. Racism. In. Society. This, again, IS the weak argument. Do you understand that racism can make something more difficult without making it impossible? How can you possibly not understand that? If you do understand that, then how can you make an argument, like the one above, that assumes you don't understand that?
Didn't Democrats have to abandon their white supremacy and finally embrace Civil Rights, including Sen Byrd? That's an awkward way of justifying taking away school vouchers in the District of Columbia designed to help black students. I don't know if there were white students in the program but the city is predominantly black. It was taken away from mostly black families. No, it's the truth. Illegal aliens suppress wages and are often the victims of employers who take advantage of them. Democrats need a poor working class or they would be out of business. "In 2016, California State University stirred up controversy when the college unveiled a special “Black Living-Learning Community,” not formally segregated, but thematically designated as a space for mostly black residents. The University of Connecticut boasts something similar, a “ScHOLA²RS House” where African American students will be prioritized in selection." https://thefederalist.com/2018/08/3...ading-racially-self-segregated-dorms-parties/
You claimed "prevalence" and I challenged you. The article is overselling extremism. Racism and extremism are declining. There is nothing a person of color cannot achieve due to racism. I never made any other claim. As far as making it difficult, that is the only place where there is room to argue.
Even though Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party wasn't seated in 1968, it signaled the beginning of the end for segregationists in the Democratic Party. It's part of the upheaval I mentioned that set the Democrats on the way to blacks playing a major role in the party.
As most of you know, I've lived in Texas a long time (33 years). In all that time I have never seen one white supremacist. When I first moved here in February 1986, you could still see a Confederate flag about once every 60 or 90 days. But I haven't seen one of them since the 1990's. What is more exaggerated - Trump's concern over the recent surge of illegals? Or the left's obsession with "white supremacists"? It has to be the left's obsession over the KKK.
Can't comment for the other poster, but racism certainly exists in the US today. Because of conditions and encouragement, that Black kid is likely to end up being a racist. In fact, it's probably a safe bet there are far more Black Supremacists than there are White Supremacists by many multiples of 10.
I can't confirm your numbers, but I noticed when I was still teaching that minority students had seldom been challenged to consider their own attitudes.
Of course there is no problem. The United States has been a White Supremacist nation throughout it's history. What's the big deal?
