Oh please, it may have decreased over time, but certainly it is a remnant of government racism, and yes, this does go back to the '60s and '80s.

African Americans are poorer on average mainly because they have extremely high rates of single-parent families. And yes that's a cause not a consequence of poverty, and if anyone doubts that imagine living on just your mother's wage growing up as a child.

Oh please, you need not a citation to now there wqas constructive racism just 40 years ago in the U.S. That sort of shit doesn't just erase after that short a time.

That's a lot of claims and no supporting evidence. Still haven't told me which system is systematically racist.

Are you aware that in case of blacks in the U.S., the underlying problem is not that blacks are violent, but that they're usually poor and the subject of systematic racism?

Just throwing ideas out there.

From what system?

Japan just invited Taiwan, a country China claims as its own territory, to join the TPP (which is essentially an economic grouping hostile to China). I wonder how this will play out...

I read that as "invaded".

Interesting bit of research, they polled 10,000 people in 10 European countries. Europe's future ain't looking too rosy-I predict mass social strife.



Naturally Brussels (well, Berlin) has listened to the people and has responded accordingly: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/13/eu-takes-action-against-eastern-states-for-refusing-to-take-refugees

Well played

Wowie, that sure is incriminating evidence that liberals are actually fascists!
I mean, why else would no one have used their inbuilt fact/quote checker and call him out!

But "Hail Trump" and "Hail Victory" right? Edit: Watch the actual video of what he says, not just the first few Heiling seconds.

That is fucking hilarious

[StevenChilton]

Nah, point is it shows just how ridiculous it is to label Hitler 'right-wing'. He wasn't. Right-wingers are concerned with individualism, the left focuses on collectivism. Hitler and the Nazi regime was collectivist (ein reich, ein volk, ein fuhrer etc).
