    Disagree. Among educated people, its certainly unifying everyone. I literally don't know a single colleague against what he is doing.

    The people being divided by this are people with already bigoted views on minorities and generally uninformed idiots. People standing up for their rights just irritates them and divides them away from reality even more.

    I think it's time to take bigots safe space away - it's time to reject racism and start moving towards healing, but that can't happen until people understand that racism is real and hurting people.

    lol, explain how stats that show racial oppression are "cherry-picked". Your post is inadequate without expounding. Think critically texxx and explain yourself.

    You completely owned him as usual.

    You know it's funny. All Lou can say for any black problem is "racist cops."
    The reason blacks committed all those murderes is because off racist cops.

    The reason 8 officers died this year, racists cops.

    The reason the head Dallas police officer was black, racist cops.
    The reason a black man has held the highest powerful job in the world, racist cops.
    The reason blacks are poor, racist cops.
    The reason blacks are often raised by a single mother, racist cops.


    Lou, you're a douche bag, and probably on government funding

    Statistics and empirical studies own people like you and Bobby. I've posted a bunch already and there are hundreds more, yet have not heard a single adequate refutation of them.

    What's fascinating to me is people who basically think that any effort to discuss racism or call for change is either whining or dividing people. We've moved deom they should get over it to they should stop trying to divide.

    There isn't a counter argument, not an intelligent one anyway. I give you context and a rational explanation for things, you throw a fit and say everyone and everything is racist. It's always logic vs emotion when talking with you.

    I gave you more than the numbers of just cops killed, didn't I? Oh, but you have to ignore that because it hurts your case. When you have a group of 11-14% of the population that commits over 52% of all murders in the entire country, it'll cause people to be less likely to give the benefit of the doubt. That's why "cops" who are of all races tend to treat black people differently. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but it's life and it won't change until the root cause changes.....and that root cause isn't "racism".

    When you learn to think logically instead of emotionally, you'll come to that obvious conclusion. I'm expecting it to take you quite a while.

    Bobby when this thread first started

    "Black people aren't oppressed by police, victim mentality"

    Bobby after he gets owned repeatedly

    "Black people are oppressed by police, but it's their fault"


    This is probably the first time ever Bobby has changed his mind on something and realized he was incorrect. Of course, his new viewpoint is still ridiculous, but at least it's progress. I am happy for you.

    Unsurprisingly you fail to follow along so this is what you took away from what I said. There's truly no hope for you.

    You still haven't even responded to what I wrote, just repeat the same thing over and over. You aren't discussing, you're just making ad hominem attacks - the sign of someone who has nothing to say.

    Well, I tried. I knew trying to hold an intelligent conversation with someone like you would be an uphill battle all along so it's not surprising that it failed.

    Whatever floats your boat. I have destroyed your argument in three instances.

    1. You claim Hillary is guilty of corruption but can't name one instance

    2. You claim the police are scared of blacks and are justified in treating them worse even though only 50 blacks out of 40 million have shot one of 1 million officiers. No counter to that but to repeat the same misleading stats.

    3. You false claim that mishandling classified information should always be prosecuted regardless of intent and when shown that it is rarely prosecuted without intent you still claim you were right.

    You have no clothes on. Goodbye.

    I'm sure you think so kiddo. What you just posted kind of serves as an indictment of your loose grasp of reality. One day you'll grow up and learn the error of your ways....hopefully.

    Till then.

    Actually, school is in, but Lou is out playing hookie, as usual, which is bad for both him and us.

    I mean, sometimes I think he's doing the best he can given what little he has to work with, sometimes I think he's just trolling. It's honestly hard to tell the difference.

    He might just be a little kid that lives inside an echo chamber that has convinced him that he's brilliant. If that's the case, there's hope one day he grows up and gets outside of that situation which will allow for mental and emotional growth.

    It's as if you are projecting your own insecurities. Yes, he has little to work with... You have plenty to work with with your high school diploma.
