BlackLivesMatter activist shoots Houston Deputy

[gwb-trading]

Obama has set back race relations in this country by 40 years. He has created an environment where police officers are a target.

Of course, this will only lead to more aggressive policing. When every police officer is a target then all officers will take measure to be extra aware and aggressive in all situations to protect their own lives. Situations that formerly would have resulted in initial approaches not involving deadly force will now escalate immediately into deadly-force encounters as officers seek not to be the next victim.

Oh, he did a LOT more damage than just that.

cool, now when I want to protest an oil war all I need to do is hold up a sign "Moslem Lives Matter"

Media is intentionally ignoring the racial component of this shooting, just like all the other black on white crime. News headline should read, Racist Black Man Targets White Police Officer.

No, the Great Recession did that. Larger masses of unemployed young males on average create more havoc, drawing more policing. Some of that policing will be excessive, ala "I can't breathe". Right there on social media for all to see. Which is the second great factor--video and the internet.

Making excuses for blacks gone wild because of "large masses of unemployed young black males" is ridiculous! Since when have they been employed in the first place? The "I can't breathe" dude was probably on 8 different drugs and he was overweight. Not the cops fault! No excuses here either! The "internet and video" is just another excuse for wild, animalistic behavior by blacks. Then again, maybe you are right on that last one. Monkey see, monkey do?

I finally concluded that Blacks hate Whites. Blacks also think they are Kings and Queens and deserve to be treated royally. I'm not making that up, I'm quoting some Black activists I heard on a radio interview. Blacks don't want equality, they want superiority and they know they can get it only via government They aren't going to get anywhere by competing with Whites because they can't. Watch Jeopardy sometime; Blacks don't even get on the show let alone win.

It's not an excuse, it goes to explanation. Like putting tea party rage on high taxes.

Unemployed young men is every society's biggest internal risk. The ancients wrote of it.

All "blacks"?

All "blacks"?

One of the issues I have with these threads about race is generalizations.

I work in a very diverse corporate environment. The blacks I work with are bright and hard-working.

Similarly two of the three black families that live nearby have a PhD as the head of the household. One is a medical doctor and the other is a well-known pharma researcher.

A combination of poor culture, lack of personal responsibility, broken families, and poverty appears to drive the behavior of some "urban" blacks.

The only thing I can state conclusively is that the educated blacks I described above disdain the thugs even more than I do.
