Foxy,
No use arguing with Josephus about Glen Beck; you might as well be talking to a brick wall. Beck ticks all the right boxes for Josephus. Josephus actually believes that Beck is irrefutable evidence that God exists. You need to cut loose of people like Josephus because he has a religious view of the world and cannot come to grips with science, albeit like others of his ilk he will argue that he does understand science. I started to debate OzSpen on the existence of God and he skipped out when he saw I was winning the argument and he let his lieutenant Not Now Soon jump in unsolicitedly to start arguing with me to draw the heat off OzSpen. Josephus is just unhappy he missed out on the Thirty Years War; either side would have suited him. Posted by Mr Opinion, Friday, 12 June 2020 6:12:33 PM

Dear Not_Now.Soon, . You wrote : « Violence and crime are now what fuel discrimination. As long as those are present in the black communities, discrimination will continue because of it » . What you are saying, NNS, is that black people are victims of discrimination because they commit violence and crime. It’s their own fault if they are discriminated against. I suppose that’s one way of looking at it, NNS, but from my point of view, you’ve got it the wrong way round. You're looking at the result, not the cause. The history of race relations in the US, especially black-white relations, is fraught with complex emotions, including fear, hostility and lack of trust. According to the last Census, the majority of the black population (54%) live in the South. The South has remained staunchly conservative. Southern whites harbour higher levels of racial resentment than whites in other parts of the country. The authors of an important sociological study “Deep Roots” published in 2018 show that the entrenched political and racial views of contemporary white southerners are a direct consequence of the region’s slaveholding history. Today, southern whites who live in areas once reliant on slavery—compared to areas that were not—are more racially hostile and less amenable to policies that could promote black progress. Highlighting the connection between historical institutions and contemporary political attitudes, the authors explore the period following the Civil War when elite whites in former bastions of slavery had political and economic incentives to encourage the development of anti-black laws and practices. They demonstrate that these forces created a local political culture steeped in racial prejudice and that these viewpoints have been passed down over generations, from parents to children and via communities, through a process called behavioural path dependence. While legislation such as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act made huge strides in increasing economic opportunity and reducing educational disparities, slavery has had a profound, lasting, and self-reinforcing influence on national politics that can still be felt today, 155 years after it was abolished. .

Foxy has decided that she'll simply ignore and vilify certain data from someone she despises based not on the information but solely on her hatred of the messenger.
Foxy a week ago: "Sociopaths never answer to facts: they always attack the messenger." Could it be we have two Foxys in the group? One who thinks vilifying the message because of the messenger is A-OK. The other who thinks only sociopaths would do that. Posted by mhaze, Saturday, 13 June 2020 9:06:07 AM

The protests in America have three levels of protestors:
1. Those concerned for the ill treatment of Blacks. 2. Those there for the opportunity for looting 3. Antifa and Greens and Muslim politicians to fuel emotion and hate of Police, Western economies and Laws. These are funded by Soros. The third level of protestors are considered terrorist by civil society. Posted by Josephus, Saturday, 13 June 2020 10:02:34 AM

All you have to do is Google.
It's all there on the web.
The man's a right-wing darling desrcibed as "hate on steroids".
An almost literal call to arms, preying on fear, and
relying on patriot bombast.
His bluster and tears commentary has commanded attention
on both sides of the aisle.
But hey, if he's your cup of tea - go for it!
Me? I've got better things to do with my time.
