What we are seeing in the USA right now, is the inevitable effects of multiculturalism, and how racial division can be exploited by those who seek to destroy western democracy.

The Japanese Prime Minister Nakasone nailed it when he once stated that the USA was once strong when it was a majority white country. But now it was going downhill because there were too many blacks, Hispanics, and Puerto Ricans. If his statement is racist, it is also the truth.

The Democrats have hit upon a winning election strategy that is tearing their country apart. That is, to focus their policies upon the ever growing trouble prone minorities in the USA who are very disproportionately represented in welfare dependency, criminal behaviour, and now, terrorism. They never tire of telling these dysfunctional minorities that the reason why the majority of them are so dysfunctional and poor is because of the white race. Thus the democrats are stoking the fires of race hatred among minorities towards white people.

That is why the Dems support open borders, the more dysfunctional minorities who come to America and vote Democrat, the better for the Democratic Party. The Dems could not care les about whatever crime the new immigrants bring with them. And if this is allowed to continue, then there will be no difference between North or South America when it comes to lifestyles. Both continents will eventually become as dysfunctional as South American countries are today.

The voting divide in the USA now consists of the left which comprises much of the public service (except the police), dumb blacks, dumb Hispanics, and Muslims, socialist brainwashed humanities students and academics of universities, and many of the nuvoux rich who wish to assuage their guilt at being successful. The right consists of working and middle class white people, along with the smart blacks and smart Hispanics, and rich people who know they became successful because of their intelligence and hard work.

Multiculturalism creates diversity. Diversity is division. We have allowed this crazy policy to divide western nations and than are surprised when western nations implode

White middle-class suburbs are marching to protest racism and police violence?

Whole sports industries to a man are joining in with player boycotts etc.

I deplore senseless violence, given all it does is play into the hands of morally bankrupt politicians!

I disagree that I have a Trump syndrome. But would reply to Hasbeen's critigue, with the observation that he and all on the alt right would seem to have been afflicted with the Sergeant Schultz syndrome?

A man didn't need to be shot seven times by a psycohtic, control freak cop, for failing to obey a direction! No matter how you say it Hasbeen, you cannot justify attempted murder as an Ok response!

It's is your morally bankrupt attitude that needs an attitudinal adjustment, not mine!

A native policeman would have put a hand over his head and fingers into his eyeballs from behind, with enough force to oblige him to.

#1/ pull/force his head back as far as it would go.

#2/ move backward at a rate of knots to both, stay upright and comply with directions. No ifs, buts or maybes!

As for Trump? He may well win an unwinnable election? He has done some good stuff! None better than lifting an asinine decades long prohibition on thorium R+D

Conversely, none worse than tear gassing a peaceful protest to enable a ultra-cynical extraordinarily hypocritical photo op!

Biden is counting on winning by not being Trump and needs a lot more than that, but a grab bag of inspirational big ideas that fire the imagination, hope and unity! Roads and bridges, is hardly new or inspirational!

You'll have a nice day now y'hear.

With over 170,000 deaths, hitting hard at black, indigenous, and latino, it will be a grim irony indeed, if Trump wins on a "law and order" ticket.

America has been a race economy (Dickerson might call it a caste economy) for 400 years.

Without wishing to sing any great praises for Biden, or Pelosi, does the author not fear that a Trump victory will make the chasm that much worse?

What would the author do, if the Jewish caste were routinely murdered by police? Smile sweetly? The rioters know, that it's only a stopgap analgesic

40% of US blacks are completely supported by the US taxpayers.

"African/Americans" are 13% of the US population and contribute only 2% towards taxation.

“… between 2001 and 2003, blacks were 39 times more likely to commit violent crimes against whites than the reverse, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.”

Between 2001 and 2003, blacks committed, on average, 15,400 black-on-white rapes per year, while whites averaged only 900 white-on-black rapes per year.

“Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.”

Black Americans experience 19.5 gun deaths per 100 000; whites just 2.5. Given that most gun deaths are committed by the same race as the victims, whites (rightly) conclude that they are not the main problem: blacks are 8 times more likely to be gun killers.

There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics. Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups.

In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non¬black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.

In 2014 in New York City, a black was 31 times more likely than a white to be arrested for murder, and a Hispanic was 12.4 times more likely. For the crime of “shooting” — defined as firing a bullet that hits someone — a black was 98.4 times more likely than a white to be arrested, and a Hispanic was 23.6 times more likely.

If New York City were all white, the murder rate would drop by 91 percent, the robbery rate by 81 percent, and the shootings rate by 97 percent.

In an all¬-white Chicago, murder would decline 90 percent, rape by 81 percent, and robbery by 90 percent.

But for racists like Alon B and Steve S, it's always the white guys fault.

Come on LEGO, you can try harder than that. Surly you can find more clichés and bigoted positions to hold than what you have demonstrated thus far. You are proof of that old saying: there are lies, damn lies and politicians (or their supporters) arguing statistics.

The reality is that the USA is mired in a cesspool of racial hatred, spurred on and supported by a maniacal president who will do and say anything in a desperate attempt not to lose. A president who cares stuff-all for the job of being president, but whose giant ego can’t face rejection.

Any society that accepts, excuses or condones superiority of one race over another has simply lost its own humanity. No amount of right-wing-nut-jobs name calling will, or can, change that.

Dear Hasbeen,

Alan is right. What an utterly morally bankrupt position to take.

How would anyone not seeped in racist attitudes think that the gunning down of that man in cold blood was in any way defensible?

The fact that you have your nose slammed so far up your president's backside has obviously blinded you to any notion of natural justice.

You are a cultist, a sick and warped individual who really needs to have a good hard look at himself.

Wake up you little sheep.
