The protests continue to have ripple effects.

Should be interesting to see what BLM make of history being taught about how the civil rights movement shunned the gay Black man.

Same as we're seeing about misogyny in the civil rights movement and racism among the suffragettes, Bambi.

An awareness of the need to do better.

What they could also teach in classrooms is how the slaves actually got to America, sold off to slave traders by the  Black village chiefs/ Black traditional leaders in Africa, who made lots of money..."Black privilege"...and whose descendents now refuse to apologise for it all....reportedly.

Your ignorance and added pretensions of knowledge are outstanding.

African slavery apology 'needed'
 
Sketch of Congolese slave traders
 
Many Africans were involved in the slave trade
 
Traditional African rulers should apologise for the role they played in the slave trade, a Nigerian rights group has said in a letter to chiefs.

"We cannot continue to blame the white men, as Africans particularly the traditional rulers, are not blameless," said the Civil Rights Congress.

The letter said some collaborated or actively sold off their subjects.
The group said it was time for African leaders to copy the US and the UK who have already said they were sorry.

Has Red ever had an original thought in his life?
I cited facts.
Not thoughts.
Copied right from the RNC.
You did?
Keeping track of the campaign is much more reliable.
Stick to being the humorless pedant.  It suits you better.
Aww.  Facts are often humorless. I’ll stick with them.
They befuddle you

"Facts" like "a vast majority want MORE police in their neighborhoods," by which you meant 20%.

Too fucking funny, Ward.
Nice misquote.

This was your original statement:
“The Police lie ALL the time”!
Why is it then that overwhelming numbers of blacks are in favor of MORE police, not fewer?

It's barely a paraphrase.

That you later modified it to fit reality doesn't change your initial position, Ward.

Not even a good try.
The try is yours 
Not mine 
Nor anyone else who can’t count to one hundred

The official Lying Buffoon is still at it.

Trump is trying to argue that the US is handling COVID-19 better than Europe is.

They have well over double the population, while only having 20% more cases.

It's better the way Ward is honest.

"They," who?

And what money? Who do you think has it?

The party is showing their present and future leadership while the GOP puts forth Q.

The Trek references are thick in here today.

I meant QAnon

He knew that. He was just playing because of the spate of Star Trek references recently.

Yep. That'll cost them. Just like "voodoo economics" hurt Reagan/Bush.

LOL
The words are “ are in favor of the same amount and more”. (80 %) versus 20% favoring fewer
