  3. See @Pioneer1, you are pointing out the flawed nature of the artificial term of race. Sure, if we ditched the hispanic category and moved people into the Black or white categories, based upon skin color and/or culture, the Black/White disparity would be much greater I'm sure. But the fact remains, no matter how you slice it, "Over the past 25 years, the wealth gap between blacks and whites has nearly tripled, according to research by Brandeis University." The problem is we don't even understand why! In many ways, we are like spoiled children largely dependent upon others to help us and start crying when we are told we have to start doing things for ourselves.
  4. Highly unlikely law violations will be a significant cause of Trump' demise and even less a problem for Congress, obviously. Economics is steadily becoming the new bogeyman for Trump, Congress, corporations, and foreign governments (powers that be). We now are on the brink of a trade war between the United States and its allies. White Americans are heading towards economic disaster while Blacks and Hispanics are being driven out, almost entirely. Blacks and Hispanics still typically earn far less than whites, in part because whites dominate higher-paying fields, such as technology and finance. The income gap has held steady for the past 40 years. When it comes to wealth, the difference is staggering. Whites have roughly 10 times the wealth of blacks and Hispanics. Over the past 25 years, the wealth gap between blacks and whites has nearly tripled, according to research by Brandeis University. And that's only the tip of the ever melting iceberg: Spatial assimilation theory (value, trend, or data) predicts that racial and ethnic segregation results at least in part from socioeconomic differences across groups. In contrast, place stratification perspective emphasizes the role of prejudice and discrimination in shaping patterns. Consistent with the place stratification model, African Americans of all socioeconomic status (SES) levels continued to be more segregated from whites than were Hispanics and Asians and has changed little since 2000. However, the importance of SES in explaining the segregation of African Americans from whites increased over the period, while not for Hispanics and Asian Americans. The inequality gap is closing bringing Whites down to levels of Blacks and Hispanics. Republican candidates are already losing long held deep-red districts due to what many (especially White folk) see as a tax scam, breaks for large corporation, cuts to vital social institutions, and threats to entitlements enjoyed by old White men. THAT, coupled with inevitable class conflict when Trump is ousted will certainly send him to the big house as a scapegoat under the guise of a criminal. "Make America Great (Depression) Again Like 1929" is a more accurate slogan. After all, it was this same kind of blanket protectionism why America had a Great Depression. My prediction, based on data analysis, is that the "the powers that be" will come to their senses (but all too late) just before November mid-terms; when they realize unhappy poor White folk as poor Whites feel the pinch at levels equal to Blacks and Hispanics; that'll take precedence over their desire for greater privilege at the gas stations, grocery stores, and tax forms.
  5. Yeah, she is probably racist but I give comedennians a lot more leeway in what they say. Their profession is based upon saying crazy shit. Now what she actually does is another story. Now she touts she as one who has been fighting for civil rights her entire lifetime. This seems hyperbolic, can't I have no clue what she has been doing. The interesting thing is that Roseanne actually favors Valerie. Neither one would qualify as "fine" in my book. But now that I see what Valerie looks like. I see now the statement was clearly racially motivated, cause Valerie looks like a white woman to me.... What starbucks needed to do was can that manager, pay off the dudes who they called the police on (which they did). The company wide training was merely a publicity stunt, to stop people from going to their competitors which they are already doing. They hired Common. I guess since he was in the movie Selma he is best suited to train employees not sic the po-po on loitering negroes.
  6. @Pioneer1, I agree 100% (could it be the hypnotic new avatar 😉) Is that your quote? Lets not forget who reaps the greatest financial rewards for both taking care of the formalities and typically owning the venues where we have fun.
  7. Hi, I sure do hope Colins can play football professionally again, especially because I heard he was very talented. Also, I just recently looked back at some links about some of the cases such as Trayvon Martin and Castile, and I coulda kicked myself... I became drawn into it and couldn't pull myself away for some time, and it was so emotionally draining and depressing. I had planned to look back over this kind of news by setting aside time, but I kept putting it off, until, I heard about the recent news of M. Zimmermann being sommoned for stalking. I've learned so much that I had not known and, as sad as it may be about Colin's career, I gotta tell ya, I understand why he did it; took a knee. What is going on in the world today, especially America, is surreal.
