Black Lives Matter protests

jeudi 21 juillet 2016 à 02:00

Black Lives Matter protests continue, but thugs have arrested many protesters.

The thugs were violent, almost rioting, although the protesters were peaceful and disciplined. This demonstrates that the violence of thugs is far more extensive than the killings.

Thug officials claimed that protesters provoked these arrests — by chanting slogans that criticized thugs. This shows how fundamentally wrong their basic attitude is.

The Dallas thug chief criticized the US for asking thugs to make up for a lack of other social services, including mental health care, drug treatment, and support for single mothers.

I agree. The US should tax the rich more and start funding the right ways to handle those problems.

After Dallas, Black Lives Matter Is More Important Than Ever.

Thumb-sucking and allergies

If that theory is true, antibacterial soaps may be bad for children.

Candidates and climate catastrophe

President Trump Would Be a Climate Catastrophe. Sad to say, Clinton would not be much better. She doesn't treat the issue with the urgency it requires.

Unconscious racism

jeudi 21 juillet 2016 à 02:00

A narrow study reports that blacks in Houston are no more likely than whites to be shot by thugs — but the study is based on biased data, because it accepts the judgment of the thugs themselves about how threatening each person was.

Due to unconscious racism, thugs systematically tend to see a black as more threatening than a white, all else being equal.
