TheFlop

Even Jesse Jackson had a quote relating to the fact that he felt safer when he heard footsteps and turned around to find out it was a white person. Once again I'll go back to asking why is that? I've always subscribed to the idea that you shouldn't start blaming others for your shortcomings until you have your own backyard in reasonably good order.

His career is done either way. He probably wasn't completely pickled or else the sheriff that responded would have caught it, but it still seems a bit off. As for the investigation word has it that Trump supporters have already started rioting, hurling hubcaps at cops, burning down small businesses, blocking traffic so people can't get to work....all in the name of demanding an immediate guilty verdict before there is even an investigation. Wait, nevermind, that's the other side that behaves like that.

My oh my someone is desperately hanging on to the white privilege talking point. Once again.....the not so subtle reference to whites/Trump supporters being Nazis for effect. Some day maybe you will figure out that the "privilege" you speak of is actually discipline + effort.

Their arguments always lose any credibility once the blatant double standards are pointed out.

Keep thinking that the only people that want "The Trump" America are white people and it will cost another election. You are naive if you think that whites are the only people that are sick of the leftist riots, are sick of police bashing, governors acting like kings and setting arbitrary restrictions on freedoms with no end goal, want reasonable immigration, etc.

You don't get it...but nice try. Minorities being in positions of authority to even make the decision on which candidate to hire throws your white privilege argument out the door I have this mythical privilege but someone without that privilege is in a position to deny me a job?

No, just wondering why there isn't an acknowledgement that no one race is more racist than another......but the only racism that gets any attention is white on black.

Back in topic.....public service announcement to Oxbow......yet another free mass testing event on the UND campus at the high performance center Tuesday. Test early and test often.

You said it in your own words, possibly without even realizing it. Btw you still haven't addressed why business owner/manager Laquanda Jackson would rather hire Sara McKenzie rather than Shaneeka Jones.

Lol yeah right nice try. So your argument is that if person "A" purposely performs at less than their potential...that person "B" who does do what they are supposed to do and is successful has "privilege"? Are you serious? It's not privilege it's called earning what you have. There comes a point that you are what your record says you are.

Once again, you dodged the question. Why is it that even minority business owners seem to shy away from hiring other minorities? After all, aren't white people the only racists in this country? That's the only racism the media ever reports.

Maybe it is time for some soul searching instead of always trying to find someone else to blame when even people from your own community would rather hire an outsider.

Although something tells me that I could have Bill Gates business qualifications and if I started sending in resumes to various Cedar street businesses in Minneapolis that I might not be getting the deserved call back either.

If you read through it the disparity existed even in diverse neighborhoods.....which would imply even minority managers/owners prefer not to hire minorities all other things considered.....why is that? (I'll hang up and listen to your response).

I know I know.....rigged system....not rigged enough to prevent a person of color from getting free schooling solely due to their skin color, or by getting free schooling or even making millions of dollars playing a sport.......or singing.... acting..........or even starting up the right business.....but still rigged.

The most accurate thing you've said in awhile.....because the real privilege in this country is wealth privilege.....you got enough of it then white, black brown doesn't matter.

You just made the point for him. Ironic how this only because a huge deal once he became a R.

Antifa and it's supporters playbook is to wait for a protest/riot and then jump in to make it even worse. Looks like they are doing the same with the fires now.

My math is bad.....6% of an already small number is pretty small right?

Ahh yes, so Trump supporters = racist....BLM supporters that step over the line = they aren't with us.

You mean whatever doesn't fit the narrative. BLM has it made because the media has allowed them to only take ownership of "peaceful" protests. Anytime someone that is part of the movement does something stupid BLM is given a free pass simply by stating "they weren't with us". Meanwhile when a white person does something idiotic..................just another example of the ridiculous double standard that exists that the "narrative" refuses to acknowledge

Repeatedly touching kids in awkward and bordering on inappropriate affectionate manners while you are in a position of power is way different than sexual predators? You obviously aren't a prosecutor or criminal defense attorney.

At least those some people are all cool with us now since Obama apologized to them for being attacked.

Too bad there wasn't a water cannon there!
