This is going to go well
https://www.foxnews.com/us/black-liv...ny-leader-says
BLM looking to the Black Panthers and Nation of islam for inspiration, and arming themselves.
Trump talking about using the military (no doubt a huge step even if legal), now talk on both sides of arming themselves.
Can we go back to when a serious political discussion was someone having a bad debate night?People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

IMO just pull all police out of "black communities" and let it turn into a free for all. Move them all to "white communities". And I always thought segregation was a bad thing

Re: This is going to go well
Now we need to pay as much attention to the three percenters but an armed BLM changes the calculus some.
Stakes being raised.

Re: This is going to go well
I'm not against the notion of people arming themselves. I think gangs run Chicago in part b/c they're the only ones with guns. I'm all for people in inner cities being able to defend themselves, b/c most of those cities and states have laws to prevent armed self defense.
What is troubling is that they specifically cited two entities that are deeply rooted in racism and anti-Semitism as examples. I'm hoping they only mean in terms of arming themselves, but I doubt it.
I doubt it b/c it was termed a "war on police", not a "war on gangs who are ripping our neighborhoods apart". If they were calling for an end to crime in these areas I'd be all for it, but an end to what policing does exist in them (which appears to be meager at best and often misplaced) doesn't seem like a positive direction.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: This is going to go well
Personally I have no issue with that however that would be segragation which is illegal. The SCOTUS rules seperate but equal as illegal. However my subtle point was what exactly are black communities? And white communities? Are we not trying to get beyond that and have just plain communities?
