If White farmers in America in future were being tortured to death by haters...would anyone much in the Black community care/do anything about it?

Sure.

If white farmers in South Africa were being tortured to death, they would care, too, and try to do something about it.

Are you torturing Australian farmers, Bambu?

Nah, the sun and the politicians have done a good job doing 'that'.

White farmers in Sth Africa are being tortured to death. [refer elba Africa forum]
What is the Black community in America doing about it?

Scummy practice trapping US citizens.

Trump is trying to sort out the illegal immigration/fraudulent documentation/citizenship debacle he inherited.

On this though he is wrong.
A simple matter to check United States birth records/citizenship records.
They're either fake or they're not.
No degree from Harvard needed for this one either.

He shouldn't be persecuting genuine US citizens when they've done nothing wrong.
Shouldn't be cancelling passports when people have done nothing wrong.

The U.S.Commerce Department said its broadest measure of profits across the U.S. economy rose 16.1% from the second quarter a year earlier, the largest year-over-year gain in six years.
Taxes were a big part of the boost to the bottom line. Taxes paid by U.S. companies were down 33% from a year earlier, according to the new government data, or more than $100 billion at an annual rate.
But strong underlying economic growth was also a factor. The Commerce Department revised up its estimate of how fast the economy grew in the second quarter, to an annual rate of 4.2% from an earlier estimate of 4.1%.
If there was a soft spot, it was from the rest of the world: Corporate earnings from outside of the U.S. dropped, while domestic earnings boomed.

And you think this is a good thing.

If only they were improving wages.

If only you paid attention to the Global World you are supposed to be moderating.

Democrat Andrew Gillum rode a surge of liberal support from young people and African Americans to a stunning primary victory Tuesday and the historic opportunity to be the first black governor in Florida’s history.
With 94 percent of the votes counted, Gillum had an unofficial 3 percentage point lead over his closest rival, former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham. Gillum overwhelmed Graham in Miami-Dade and Broward, the state’s two largest Democratic counties, by more than a 2-to-1 margin, in the highest turnout for a midterm primary election in Florida history.

What the hell good is a voter ID law if this is allowed to happen.?

LOL

Democratic voters are energized during this mid-term season maybe like never before.  That says zero about the state's voter ID requirements.

Thanks for making my point.

Now just one cherry-picking minute!

Florida allows *any* picture ID - credit card and student ID among them.

LOL If a democrat wins picture ID’s are Okay!

He'd be good for the state.

Notice that Gillum ran on policies(albeit it socialistic ones) not the preferred strategy of bashing Trump as written in the Pelosi/Schumer/Steyer playbook. Interesting to see how he handles his message in the general election.

Corporate profits are skyrocketing because of corporate tax cuts?  That's a surprise.  And a big relief too.  I mean, while wages for workers are actually going down, its great to know the CEOs will be getting theirs.

Corporate profits might have been more of a boost to workers in a country where most workers own stocks.  Unfortunately in the USA,  only half of Americans own any stock,  and the top ten percent (income) own 84 percent of all stock.   So any Trump bump is mainly benefiting the wealthy.

Guess you missed this part.

“A chunk of the strong profit growth we’re seeing in the headlines is from the tax bill,” said Jim O’Sullivan, Chief U.S. Economist at High Frequency Economics, adding that profits before taxes are also growing robustly.

Retailers had an especially good season. Target Corp. said it had its best quarterly results in more than a decade in the second quarter, partly due to a strong consumer economy that has helped lift sales across the retail industry.

“What you’re seeing right now from a macro basis is well-run retailers with strong balance sheets that generate cash that they can invest back in their business,” Target Chief Executive Brian Cornell said on a conference call with investors last week.

The Conference Board Inc. said Tuesday its index of U.S. consumer confidence climbed to 133.4 in August from 127.9 in July, hitting its highest level since October 2000. The University of Michigan’s index of consumer sentiment has declined in four out of the last five monthly readings but remains at historically high levels.

“The economy is strong,” Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said in Jackson Hole, Wyo., last week, adding inflation “is near our 2% objective, and most people who want a job are finding one.”

Guess you missed the AT&T story, where profits are way up, and jobs are going overseas.

Dumbass.

You should take notice of more Democratic campaigns.

The notion that they are only running against Trump and not on policy/ local issues is pure myth made up by Trump apologists such as yourself.

Another snowball.

And Florida is a picture ID request state, not a strict picture ID state, as I said earlier today and as as Josh said just now, other forms of ID are accepted.
