So you both agree that Racism is the most powerful tool the Democrats have ?? :) )
follow up question for those who liked that post !! )


@Ifallalot and @grapedrink and @GromsDad and @schex !! ( :

Psy op and/or social media manufactured outrage
combined with availability heuristic.
There is a smaller percentage of racist Americans
in the last decade than at any point in history.
Sooooooooo

you all agree

that kudos are in order

for the harnessing and successful implementation

of the powerful tool that the democrats have

and the Republicans dont have

with the added degree of difficulty

of a smaller proportion of the population to work with ?? )




:)

this is correct in so many ways !! :) )



The DIE programs are just a way for the admins to divert funds from acedemics.

If you want to help poor black kids, lower tuition, decrease the number of students in a class, and pay your teachers cost of living.

Do you honestly think the point of LeBron James' post is humor?
No.

Maybe satire.

But memes are stupid. I hate them.

The cop killing the black guy doesn't support the rich football player taking a knee.

It's an exercise in confirming a bias.

The white guy who killed the black guy is jail for killing the black guy.

If the white guy was walking the street, taking the knee would make more sense.

Also, cops kill white guys too.

So stupid.

Humans are by nature narrow framers blah blah

:foreheadslap:

One kneeling pissed off black America. One kneeling pissed off white America.

The rich football player was done playing football over three years before the cop killed the black guy.

That, however this is still the sprinkles and at the best the icing on the cake. The real issue is the poverty, crime and hopelessness in poor neighborhoods that lead to situations where George Floyd is paying for daily wares with counterfeit bills. Protesting police reactions to people in that situation is a bandaid on a broken leg and a distraction from the root cause.

None of the DEI or BLM stuff is willing to touch that issue, even when they are handed millions of dollars.

George Floyd was pulled over in a Mercedes and had a job. I don't think neck-kneeling helps trust in the community between the police and the citizenry which IMHO is highly relevant to the crime portion.

BLM I think addresses that directly, and DEI IMHO is designed to get more black people "in the room". YMMV

As I said, memes are stupid.

Social commentary for dumb people
I think it was one of the more intelligent Instagram posts I've seen and very appropriate from LeBron James.

Yes but those are people who are already doing ok in a general sense. It’s not pulling at risk youth out of the hood who at best will work at Burger King or Walmart.
