How long before the snowflakes of the GOP start calling for gun reforms , now that black communities are armed just like the white’s are let’s see the reaction from them! After all they are exercising their 2nd A rights!
I do not personally own a gun, and probably never will, but I have always believed in gun ownership for hunting and personal protection -- as have most Americans. Most Americans, liberal or conservative, have never been ANTI-gun ownership. Most Americans have always supported SMART-gun ownership. It seems right now that it's smarter to own a gun for personal protection than not.0 -

I watched it two days ago it is extremely well done. Watch the trailer at least and read summary
Sorry. Your ability to be deceived is greater than my ability to convince ok.
"The cases of Klan-related violence became more isolated in the decades to come, though fragmented groups became aligned with neo-Nazi or other right-wing extremist organizations from the 1970s onward. In the early 1990s, the Klan was estimated to have between 6,000 and 10,000 active members, mostly in the Deep South"
Can we end this discussion now or is this fake news...
(I coined a new praise just now, never heard it said before) yes fake history propaganda.
(to end or promote slavery, to segregate or to not segregate)
And the parties themselves did not flip flop positions no matter how bad you want to try to spin that. Because it is very inconvenient for the Democrat party's history. Shhhh!
There were a lot of Southern Democrats that converted to Republican and Republican values. But you cannot trade Andrew Jackson for Abe Lincoln and so on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, no way. Lincoln, Reagan, Trump are the same party.
Andrew Jackson, the Jim Crow South, Bill & Hillary Clinton, & Joe Biden are the same party.
The Republican values and Democratic Values have not changed.
And for the life of me, given the Democrats terrible history, and currently on their treatment of blacks and Indians, and the way the big cities are run these days all Democrats, I cannot for the life of me figure out how anyone with a clear conscience can still vote Democrat today. That is a question I will always have. Democrats are the racist Plantation minded people still! Not the conservative Republicans. (You can never say ALL about anything, there are always the f***** up one's, but in general)
I actually have a life that extends beyond this forum.
You can post that artile as many times as you want. Dosn't make it true. A referee can call as many technical fouls as he wants,, doesn't make the call in question right.
Truth is not a leftwing value. They conveniently left out a few things. And so there you are with a bunch of half truths enabling you to think that you are the enlightened one.
You know, Trump was at Mount Rushmore on Friday night..
The enlightenedl media said, wait for it????That the audience in attendance was going to becone covid-19 super spreaders & that the firework display afterwards over the monument was going to start massive forest fires. Come on people.
Who does the KKK vote with now? Who did they vote with in 1865?
Here are some real relevant links for you. I doubt you read them since you are pretty bias and clueless to what is actually going on here.

When Tump was in the private sector running his businesses voting demorate back then, racism never came up.
He was never accused of being a racist until he ran on the Republican ticket.
When he was a tabloid celebrity nobody gave two shits.0 -

I read those links that you posted, where they cherry pick something from 1989 or 1973 okay, ya got me, I can't compete with that. Now you watch the above video.
( I doubt that will)
The truth is that President Trump has done more positive for the black, latino & minorities than any president since Abe Lincoln.0 -
I don't hear many minorities making that claim. They hold up a few and pretend that is voice for the many.
Guessing you are white, making this claim.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

The obvious point you are missing is that white people are the ones who think Trump is so great for black people and Hispanic people and any of the people we all know he does not care about.
Sharing the opinion of one person does not change what we are seeing and reading and learning.

One hot day of violence in July does not come down to which political party is in charge on that day. Politics is often part of the reason certain policies or lack thereof have led to increases though. Chicago has had a democratic mayor for the last 90 years so pull your head out of the sand and move beyond the political party. It comes down to the person, the people they surround themselves with and the leadership they exude. Some have been bad and some have been good. It's long, but maybe read through the history of why Chicago became more violent and why there has been a recent uptick in shootings.
One of the more recent consequence of a Trump presidency is that Rahm backed out of the agreement for police reform when Obama left office. The democratic Illinois AG had to sue the city to get them to follow through and that was finally settled this year so they are just in the initial stages of reform.In January 2017 -- in perhaps the most damning, sweeping critique ever of the Chicago Police Department -- the U.S. Department of Justice concluded that the city's police officers are poorly trained and quick to turn to excessive and even deadly force, most often against blacks and Latino residents, without facing consequences.
Emanuel agreed to enter into a court-enforced consent decree with President Barack Obama's Justice Department, but plans fell apart after Donald Trump took office. An out-of-court agreement with the Trump administration was attempted, and later Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan sued City Hall to enforce a consent decree. In January 2019 a federal judge approved a decree, requiring the Chicago Police Department to implement changes over the next five years. Officer training, supervision and discipline will be affected, among other areas.
The number of homicides has fallen since the 2016 spike, with double-digit decreases in both 2017 and 2018. In 2019 Lori Lightfoot, former president of the Chicago Police Board and head of the Police Accountability Task Force, took over as Chicago Mayor. 2019 saw police chief Eddie Johnson fired and replaced by interim chief Charlie Beck, formerly of Los Angeles Police Department while homicide totals for the year were at the lowest since 2015.

Similarly, do the same with NYC. A city that has flip flopped between republican and democratic, some good some bad, the last 90 years. If you don't want to do the research and instead pull 5 minute clips off YouTube of talking heads then enjoy your jaded view because that's all that is.So far this year, police have solved just 28 percent of shootings with an arrest, Chief LiPetri said, even though that proportion is normally around half.
Often, investigators know who is responsible for a shooting but lack sufficient evidence to make an arrest. Victims often refuse to cooperate with police investigations, and witnesses are afraid of retaliation if they come forward.
The state’s new bail law and the pandemic have made it more difficult to build those cases, police officials have said, because it is harder for prosecutors to leverage their power to keep people behind bars.
Chief LiPetri said a slowdown in court proceedings because of the virus has also stymied the efforts to curb violence. Although police arrested more people for gun possession this year, he said many were released because their cases could not be presented to a grand jury within six days, the statutory limit for holding people in custody without an indictment.
About 800 gun cases are still waiting to be presented to grand juries, he said, and 40 percent of people arrested on gun possession charges had been released without bail so far this year.
In the past the New York police have relied on plainclothes “anti-crime units” to proactively hunt for people believed to be carrying illegal guns on the streets, but their aggressive tactics had led to many complaints and several police shootings. Commissioner Dermot F. Shea disbanded the units last week.
The city is instead leaning more heavily on nonprofits that employ “violence interrupters" — young men and women with past ties to gangs who intervene to try to stop street conflicts from escalating.
Not all of the areas of the city that have struggled with shootings in the past have seen increases. Iesha Sekou’s group, Street Corner Resources, oversees a stretch of Harlem that has not seen a shooting since April 25.
Ms. Sekou said the changes brought on by the pandemic as well as the weather have created a ripe environment for shootings to unfold. Her group has focused on keeping tabs on who is getting out of jail or prison, particularly if they have been involved in shootings, because they might have unfinished business.
Usually, there is a party to celebrate the occasion, and she shows up. "We would go over there and give out masks and gloves, and we would say, ‘We need y’all to make sure there’s no violence,’” she said.
