     And furthermore the entire Confederate statues and memorials etc were put in place by Abraham Lincoln to mending the rift between the North and the South. These people really really really don't want to mend any rifts at all.

    Lincoln was assassinated in 1865 right at the end of the war, I don't think he had gotten to the statue erection part of his platform yet.

    I think he must have meant resurrection. ??

     Not that it matters what celebrities think but this is about true. I don't see how any reasonable person  could think otherwise.

    I wonder why Lebong doesn't comment on all this?

  • Well, he made his family wealthy.

    You trolling Vambo?  How many times do I have to say- granted, George Floyd wasn't a model citizen, far from it?  In fact, his final fatal encounter with the police started when he tried to pass a phony $20 dollar bill.  That doesn't negate he was already handcuffed and there were THREE other cops there. (Didn't look like much of a threat to me) That didn't give Chauvin carte blanche to lean on the guy for nine minutes until he wasn't breathing. The pleas of bystanders (including an EMT) to get off of him fell on deaf ears. Consequently, that's why he's now in solitary awaiting sentencing- to keep Bubba and his pals away from him.

    Will Biden do the right thing...

    Family of murdered Fort Hood soldier says she deserves same respect as George Floyd, call on Biden to act

    Nah- Chauvin had some blood lust on his mind... he had multiple opportunities to stop- but didn't. 

    Oh fucking hell. You can't just be happy that trial came out in a way that's favorable? You've gotta go out of your way to troll these guys. It's hard to pretend to have any high ground when you're just as pathetic a troll as diehard is.

    This board is a microcosm of the politics of America in general. I find it's best summed up by a slightly tweaked lyric from Stealers Wheel:

    Kinda.

     I think the posts are weighted to the right but only by sheer numbers. I also think we be closer on the issues if we weren't forced to hate one politician or the other.

     And I see that as being weighted toward the other side. Some might disagree but I can only go by what I see.
