    I see....The policy of ending the abuse of the 4th amendment by LEO's and judges was harsh.

    we see confederate statues going down, so southern conservatives are becoming less racist imo

    but the sad truth is, I think some whites and some blacks will always be racist

    I blame LBJ's and demos "Great Society" for the putting blacks on the government freebie plantation.. before that. AND before civil rights, Blacks where rising across all sectors.. now, the problem blacks think they have a RIGHT to break the laws and act like fools. Remeber when they say that doing good in school is "acting white"? Truth is, no one is more racist than your typical dem voting Black.

    most white and black people are good people

    both races have their bad apples, and we should call out these bad apples regardless of race and not hold an entire race responsible for the actions of the bad apples

    hahhaha this is a joke right? He over saw the largest 4th amendment abuse in United States history.

    1) FISA Abuse...see Carter Page
    2) His NSA's PRISM program, that Snowden exposed.
    3) Naming innocent reporters as co-conspirators to get a wire on them

    Southerns have become increasingly less racist over the years, and we've seen that by the GOP getting elected and ending the Dem regime of Jim Crow.

    No, they voted the GOP to end Jim Crow. It’s not a real surprise most southerns aren’t racist people. Once they could freely exercise their voting rights we began to see the shift and the party of the Klan moved to big cities like Minn.

    Would you be kind enough to give us a list of the names of a few large countries where Blacks receive better treatment?

    The remarkably strong and durable black American culture, community and family were targeted for destruction by what has passed as a "progressive" movement for over a century. During the Wilson administration systemic racism spread from the South throughout the nation.

    Serious Leftist academic researchers have been exposing the long record of institutional racism that has always been a hallmark of the DP and its fellow travelers.

    “Blacks, however, posed a special problem. The Socialist Party, believing that respectability and success were becoming attainable, virtually ignored them, and center-right wing socialists even acquiesced in segregation. As historian Ira Kipnis writes: ‘There is no record that the party ever actively opposed discrimination against Negroes from 1912-1917.’ even the party’s most popular leader, Eugene Debs, who defied social prejudice by refusing to speak before segregated audiences in the South, failed to see any need for special attention by the party to the plight of blacks.”

    The problem with your theory is you are equating the US being the LEAST racist country based solely on the fact we elected a black president. That is like saying we are one of the LEAST gender equal countries in the world because we have never elected a female president whereas many other countries have. The single event you are pointing to is not a good indicator of what you are trying to evaluate.

    Republicans oppose vote fraud they think will only benefit the DP.
    They are probably wrong about that.
    I am confident that the RP will become very competitive with the DP when it comes to using mail in voting to stuff ballot boxes and rig elections.

    Trump voted by absentee ballot, so attacking dem states for doing it as well would be hypocritical

    He isn’t. Folks can vote absentee. He’s not asking for the law to change. Dems are

    The real truth about racism is if one denies it exists , and has existed, one is a racist.

    no-one has denied it exists, there black racists, white racists, asian racists just like there are rapists, murderers, bad people, good people.. there is a bit of everything but is america racist as a whole? Is law enforcement racist, as a whole? NO.. FACt.

    1. twice has many whites are killed by cops vs blacks
    2. Cops are 18 more likely to be killed by a black person than a cop is likely to kill an unarmed black person
    3. Last year, 9 unarmed blacks were killed vs 19 unarmed whites
    4. Many of the blacks killed are by black, latino cops
    5. Cops save more black lives, by far, than they kill and they risk their lives doing it
    6. Cops face dangerous criminals daily and most of the time do not kill anyone and have to deal with violent people who resist arrest, insult them
    7. Blacks kill each other in the thousands every year, no-one seems to care. BLM is inherently a racist ideology as they don’t care about the thousands of blacks killed by other blacks but do care about the small number killed by cops, relatively
    7. Studies have shown that there is a fergusson effect;i.e, the less policing in Ferguson has led to more crime and more black lives lost
    8. Studies have shown that the 25% of blacks killed vs other races is actually low given blacks commit over 50% of the murder, over 50% of robberies and have higher rates of violent offenses like rape.

    It’s all sick and twisted. America is not racist, cops, as a whole are not racist. All this is about is retribution for slavery hundreds of years ago, criminals using floyd as an excuse to loot and riot, media seeking ratings, politicians trying to make gains on opposition. It’s sick, twisted and MLK would be disgusted by all of it. The people will not be fooled, as a whole, and all this will help trump get re-elected.

    I will amend that true statement to include, "if one thinks that racism in America ended when the slaves were freed they are racist or in total denial of the history of Black Americans..."
