ACLU and activists say North Carolina anti-riot, looting bill is 'racist' and 'anti-BLM'

Thank you for your in-depth and comprehensive rebuttal of my post. It was truly a remarkable insight into your debate and intellectual skills.
That's the best response to gibberish word salad.
 
The toughest drug laws were enacted by liberal policiticians due to pressure from black organized groups and black activist leaders to clean up their neighborhoods.
There was BIPARTISAN support for some tough drug laws. Show me the list of tough drug laws that mainstream conservatives (not libertarians) refused to vote for. I'll wait....

The list goes on though. Poll taxes and literacy tests didn't specify black people, but were clearly used to disenfranchise black people. It's not hard to find this pattern in US history.
 
There have always been drug laws, most enacted before there was much interest in Black people. Heroin was declared illegal in 1924, for example.

Not everything is racist but it can be if you're willing to read between the lines hard enough.
"before there was much interest in Black people"??? Jim Crow laws started soon after the Civil War.
 
Nah, you attempted to throw the race card. What we disagreed on was what it was a reaction to. Quit playing semantic ****ery games.
What with "you people"? No not at all. I just like using it.

Thanks for agreeing anyways
 
I didn't argue this at all..

Again you don't know what you are saying..go make up more shit with someone who gives a crap
 
If you truly think that was a word salad, then you need to work on your reading comprehension.
Word said tossed with stupid sauce and gibberish.
your side is so Orwellian you don’t even realize it. To say that CRT isn’t being taught is like saying preschool is infrastructure. To say teaching that there is systemic racism and that is “history“ is like saying white people are bad, black people are good and picked on snd that is histor.

it is complete utter nonsense
 
"Critical race theory is an academic study at the undergraduate and graduate level that aims to examine the role of racism in the modern era and the ways it has become woven into the social fabric. Academics in the field argue the U.S. has institutionalized a racial caste system."
 
ONE city?
 
Your point ignores that something happening in DC is not more personal than it happening to someone's business or home----DC is not more important than the people in any other part of the country. They just think they are.

I did not talk about those who saw their property damaged. I talked about the vast majority of people who did NOT see their home and business on fire and for these people (at least those who give a shit about the republic) an attempt by thugs to steal their vote is more personal than any crime committed by other thugs against other people or companies.
 
Just to show the hypocrisy of some posters here



Did you ever feel the need to point out that one of the most lethal demonstrators during the BLM movement were the Boogaloo Guys who were indicted for the death of the police officer in CA?

Really. So you think I need to call out every single crime in the Republican side of the fence before I can call out any violence on the Democrat side of the aisle?

Yeah, that's not going to happen.

If I really need to tell you that I don't support hunting down cops, you aren't worth talking to.
 

We are going to find out legally just how many people are going to be charged for that. My guess is it will be under 20, because most people weren't there for that. Mobs turn in a heartbeat and that was definitely a mob.
 

You need to stop propagating RW conspiracy theories designed to COVER the crimes in the republican side by implying that the FBI was behind January 6th.

This has nothing to do with my point! Read again what I said

I read their statement, as should you. It seems, if I understand correctly, that their concern is that the proposed law would allow charging people who organize a demonstration but who did not commit or advocate violence with a crime. That seems a very defensive position. It conforms to my experience in organizing back in the day, when crazies we hadn’t invited showed up to do damage.
 
Your point ignores those people that were harmed by the rioting and looting----I am not letting you ignore them.

Nope, another misrepresentation from you. I never said they were behind it, I said there are allegations they were embedded in groups that were there.
 
Keep using it. Demonstrate exactly who you are.
Yeah dude..let me clue you in. You don't have a clue as to what you are talking about. You are attempting to make it something it's not because you need to be a victim..

Good for you..hope it works out for you
 
That's quite an overwrought fantasy you've built up there. Are you quite certain, for example. that these several thousand people at the protest were there to kill Mike Pence?
