    Oh, you're one of these doctrinaire 'philosophers' who decides -- all by yourself -- what is 'racist' and what is not...? And you feel no need to explain yourself with anything other than your own subjective opinion...? You just suit yourself?

    Masturbation is a lot like that.... You don't need to explain yourself to anyone else, or justify what you're thinking or doing. Yeah, I'm familiar with 'analytical' mental processes like the one you obviously espouse....

    Never said it and your implication is just a lie. Clear enough for you?

    Actions and words are what decides racism.

    I just point them out.

    And weren't you the one complaining about "personal attacks" and making threats?

    Care to report yourself?!?!?!

    Why?
    What would Marvin Gaye's death prove to you?
    What would Sam Cook's death prove to you?


    Or is Black people being murdered just a personal fixation?

    No, not black celebrities that were murdered. I'm looking for black men whose black-on-black murder made them celebrities.

    Their deaths would prove to me that their black lives really did matter, and it wasn't just a their death at the hands of a white person that made them special and valuable.

    I wouldn't call it a fixation, but the cult of personality that springs up around black victim celebrities does interest me.

    I answered your question.

    Moving the goal post changes nothing.

    We're actually making some progress! Good! Now, then, when you pronounce that something is "racist", you'll "point out" exactly what the 'racism' is, what it consists of, and what your BASIS is for declaring it to be so...?

    As far as 'reporting' goes, feel welcome to report anything you like. Oh, I'm a definite FREE-SPEECH advocate, too....

    I think we should negotiate for peaceful resolution. Over time, they might regret the current situation. Crime going up, criminal gangs ruling the area, and protection money "tax" being mandated

    Nope. Remember the golden rule -- YOU NEVER NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS!

    And, because it would be oh-so politically incorrect to just march in and arrest or shoot them all, the better thing to do would be to just isolate them and let them sit endlessly in the big pile of sh!t that they've created for themselves and the whole miserably-liberal city of Seattle.

    But, when the STENCH of who and what they are finally becomes unbearable, Seattle itself will be begging someone -- anyone -- to come 'fix it' for them. Libs are always hateful toward "Law and Order", until they finally pull their heads out of their butts and realize that every civilization since the beginning of time has NEEDED it.

    Well, it's happened. There are now police "no-go zones" here in America. A sobering thought. But, I don't think violence will fix this. Or, rather that I don't want excessive force used on these people. This is America, we don't crack down on our own people. And, anyway I think this is a good experiment that should run to its conclusion. A valuable lesson. Just so long as it stays far, far away from me.

    I do not really think that I would "send in the tanks." But I would use overwhelming force--presumably, police force--to unseat the squatters. (They are a motley crew of anarchists and Leninists--to describe them as mere "Marxists" is too gentle, as Marx was merely a philosopher; Lenin put his philosophy into action, by "any means necessary."

    It truly is not mere "right wing fear mongering" to assert that we must have law and order as a nation--you cannot disprove this simply by noting the failings of Richard Nixon, who also used this phrase--as most of us do not wish to allow for a possible descent into anarchy.

    Here's what's interesting, Nixon running on the law and order ticket was elected by a landslide, will Trump be the same?

    There is certainly a great similarity here--but there are also some important differences.

    One is the fact that Nixon was not the incumbent in 1968, when he first used this phrase. Trump, on the other hand, is exactly that.

    Note: The last time I saw the RealClearPolitics average of the polls, Joe Biden was ahead by over eight full points. But it is not the popular vote, of course, that elects the president if this country. And the electoral vote looks to be very close. I would imagine that this will come down to just a few key states--although President Trump does not seem to be faring well in these now, according to the polls.

    Yes, we've had 'no-go' zones in many parts of the urban areas in the U. S. for quite a while, but nobody talks about it.

    You are a nicer person than I am... I don't consider these anarchist/ANTIFA scumbags to be "our own people" -- far from it. They are a disease that needs to be 'treated and removed', but that's part of me that is, uh, not-nice, I know.

    Your feeling that you can tolerate this as an 'experiment', but not in your own backyard is understandable. In my part of what we call the Denver-Colorado Springs 'Corridor', it wouldn't be tolerated at all. Again, this anarchism is a disease, and it's best never to tolerate a malignant, dangerous disease....

    I'm a nice person but I'm not that nice. I just thought my first, true feelings about this was sort of against forum rules against advocating violence. So, the second thought I had, that this could be a great experiment, will have to suffice.

    Which is the reason that the correct approach is to send in the National Guard and have them watch the morons clean the place up.
