Damn, Daniel Tosh is a genius...and way ahead of his time. He had the antidote to racist cops & knew the US would never catch back up w/ China once they pass us w/ the largest GDP in the world.

Try again. lol
Lot's of big cities aren't included. Dallas and Houston, two top 5 metros aren't. Neither are Phoenix or ATL, which are top 10. Cleve and Rich aren't that big.

I'd like to say otherwise, but despite what Drew Carrey says, Cleveland does not in fact "rock." Hell, Drew moved out of Ohio all together.

I understand the point, but I am not sure that one statistic points this to being more about emotion than truth.

When you look at things like education (college degrees), family income, wealth, etc., it would show that the relative metrics today are really no better than what they were 50 years ago. For example, educational attainment. Blacks have risen 19 percentage points since 1964 compared to 26 percentage points for whites.

I could list more, but I think we get the point. Now, I am not saying this is 100% the results of systemic racism. I believe there are many aspects that contribute to these statistics, including things like single parents. But one thing that doesn't get addressed enough IMO is the difference in identity between whites and other races. Whites overwhelmingly do not have their central identity revolve around being white, only about 15% according to Pew. That compares to nearly 75% of African Americans and nearly 60% for Asians and Hispanics. This has an obvious impact to not only how African Americans feel about the situation, but how/why white people have a harder time truly relating to the hardships.

Clay Travis mentioned this some time ago. White privilege has been overtaken by Asian privilege. When you look at education and income, the Asians are crushing it in the US.

Interesting article from Reuters https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...ose-charged-in-protest-violence-idUSKBN23H06J

Seems like in the initial prosecutions there hasn't been any link to far leftwing extremists.

Its really way to early to draw any information as to whether investigators have found any substantive ties to ANTIFA (or any other organization). Any group targeted by feds would not yield arrests this early, especially in the form of (id assume) violation of statutes relating to organized criminal networks. Theyre probably still in the early stages of identifying people and building the investigative puzzle. That will take months and months to put together before any arrests are made (absent of course any single major crime). The article doesn't really get into details about details of the cases they reviewed. Part of me wonders if theyre just federal offenses because of where they occurred like if they were on federal property, I'm pretty sure they can automatically be federal crimes depending on the location.

I'll defer to you on this subject (IIRC you have law enforcement experience?).

Seems like it's too early to be mudslinging either way, and that posters writing off BLM can calm down.

Yeah I dont have any clue/idea/insight on any direction of what the feds are doing. It just doesnt seem logical that theyd already have completed an investigation of that magnitude (if there was in fact an organizational element to the riots).

NY, NJ, and IL are actually among the top 10 states where people leave, and want to leave.

Yep, and it isn't close. People aren't fleeing Charlotte for Hoboken, NJ. They aren't fleeing Nashville for Chicago. And they sure as hell aren't fleeing Texas for California.

Can we all compromise and Defund the FBI?

This.... they've had sketchy incidents going back to their creation. And when they've tried to do what they're supposed to do (like the 1996 campaign finance fiasco), their blocked by political leadership.

Defund foreign wars and world policing too. Not saying defund the military, just the wars that go nowhere.
