Black lives movement relates to descendants of slaves and their problems with acceptance and equality and not immigrants from failed cultures with a big chip on their shoulders.

Bruh...

[LarryBnDC]

Yeah, Obama was hardly the descendant of slaves, with a white mother, raised by his extended white family, and an immigrant father he never knew, and yet unsurprisingly he was considered a Black man in America.

Funny but part of his lineage is actually descended from slavery through his mother. Stanley Dunham was descended from a slave known as John Punch...

The vast majority of the thousands of Black Lives Matter protests this summer have been peaceful, with more than 93% involving no serious harm to people or damage to property, according to a new report tracking political violence in the United States.

But the US government has taken a “heavy-handed approach” to the demonstrations, with authorities using force “more often than not” when they are present, the report found.

And there has been a troubling trend of violence and armed intimidation by individual actors, including dozens of car-ramming attacks targeting demonstrators across the country.


 
The new data on protests and the US government’s response comes from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project (Acled), an organization that has long tracked political violence and unrest in regions around the world, together with Princeton University’s Bridging Divides Initiative.

 
Data assembled by Acled has been viewed as a reliable source of information on the death toll in Yemen, civilians killed by governments in Africa and political violence against women, among other conflicts. The organization launched a new “US crisis monitor” project this year, concerned that the US is “at heightened risk of political violence and instability going into the 2020 general election”.

The results of the study present a stark contrast to claims made by the Trump administration, and widely circulated by Fox News and other rightwing media outlets...

Well, of course. Those groups always provide a stark contrast to reality.

Yep.

Ted Cruz believes that pregnancy is not life threatening and therefore Milliprex should be considered dangerous.

Daily Kos on the topic:

"Cruz’s own state of Texas has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world, at 35.8 per 100,000 live births. High rates of maternal mortality in the U.S. hit Black women especially hard—the numbers are 17.4 per 100,000 live births overall and 37.1 per 100,000 for Black women. Abortion is safer than pregnancy and childbirth, and, as many noted, erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra are more dangerous than medical abortion drugs like Mifeprex."

Pence was a Cruz supporter before he backed Trump ...

Whoa!  Joe!!!!!

Biden breaks out Hillary's D word today

Funny.

[REDSTATEWARD]

I wasn't agreeing with Biden at all,  as could be easily understood by reading my post.

The light bulb as we know it today was not invented by any one person.   

Still awaiting evidence that rebuts what I originally posted.   Which means I'm done with this topic.

I believe Biden’s point was black kids in school most likely have never heard of Latimer.

LOL!

God does not like trump supporters. While this is one more clear sign, the first and still clearest was God giving them trump.

Sucker. Loser.

He pulled it and trumped it. Deplorable? By any sane person, yes. Damnable? Also very much yes, and now we are enjoined to get the demons out of the soft wattled vessel and out of the White House by any holy means necessary.

This shit is serious and it looks like it might take a little more than voting, though voting every Democrat in and every republican Out is a key objective in the central and immediate front. Destroying trump and the republican party is saving America from a desolate, sterile, and rapine future. Let’s use our words and our votes first, but by all means let’s get this done.

President Trump could flip Minnesota -- a state that has been blue since 1972 --  because of a mishandled coronavirus response and continuing civil unrest in Democrat-run cities, GOP Senate candidate Jason Lewis said Saturday.
