I will ask again also is there changes that are going to be done on the other side:

Is rap music going away?
Are they going to quit using the black power salute in their protests?
Are statues gping to be taken down they may offend the other side?

I think you misunderstood my post. I’m not advocating for or against what is happening, it was simply a commentary on what is going on and why. Specifically a commentary on why I believe it isn’t just going away.

What numbers?

This is lent about numbers. This is about how people feel. Numbers wont matter. It’s about righting perceived wrongs and gaining power to overthrow.

He doesn't even understand that when he says......

"The pics, memes, nonsense, etc. is posted to poke innocent fun at you"

He's basically admitting to trolling.

The both of you are too sensitive. Go enjoy the outdoors if you cannot handle the internet.

Peace, man. Chill out.

I know what the conversation is about centered around but You keep saying Canada has benefitted from a devalued currency. I said okay, I’ll look up why it’s devalued and it’s not devalued the same reason why China’s is. I assumed you brought up Canada because it has any relevance to the initial argument. I contrasted them to show one is devalued because there’s less demand for what’s being exported compared to China where they are devaluing their currency by purchasing other countries currency. This matters because both Canada and China obviously got boosts in the manufacturing sector by the devaluing of currency. The difference is one was done artificially.

Basically I’m saying I have no clue why you keep bringing up Canada’s currency benefitting when your currency was being devalued because their was less demand for Canadian currency because of what they exported. China on the other hand devalues its currency by purchasing foreign currency.

Just keeping the conversation going and seeing if there were opinions on the things that I brought up.

Check this link out. Seems pretty solid to me.

I haven’t followed this but is there a photo of the noose hanging in Bubba’s garage? I just see articles of people taking about it.

No picture. Article lays it out well; limited # of people w/ access to garage, cameras etc.

Should be kinda easy to figure out IMHO.

That’s similar to what I found. I clicked on a twitter link that was posted a page or two ago and went down the rabbit hole and came across a post that shows a number of photos of a garage door pull that looks like a noose... because it is a noose. Apparently they’re in every garage.

Where are the photos of the noose? Where is the video evidence? Did jussie smollett put it there?

Hahaha. Racism everywhere. Burn it all down. Gotta be careful what you wish for when you start claiming syrup is racist.

Statues of the Founding Fathers and Confederacy are coming down while the statue of the slave trader at Yale remains in place.

Is it not obvious that the elites in this country are pulling the strings behind the scenes to inflame racial tensions and divide the country?

Sooner or later people need to be held accountable for yelling fire when there isn't one just to drum up attention, news, and to get people riled up. I swear its almost like there is a group of people purposely trying to get everyone to hate each other.

It was laid out pretty well in the twitter link that was posted. I think you had posted it. We know for a fact that there’s an agenda regarding the biased media coverage and liberal spin on police brutality. They’re not naive to what they’re doing, otherwise they would cover all police brutality stories and not just the ones that add more heat to the racism fire. So then we get to... who is really behind this and why?

Man... you and I are on the same page. There’s a conversation that can be had about racism in America. Most people don’t deny that racism exists in some capacity. But what’s going on right now is certain people in power are turning the common people against each other and against the police with biased reporting and sometimes completely dishonest reporting. Democrats trying to win an election? A foreign enemy trying to cause chaos within? The Illuminati? The last one wasn’t serious... I don’t know much about any of that, but something is up.

Numbers meaning the number of people that will sympathize with the movement going forward. Even now, many sympathizers are silently making plans to distance themselves by voting for the other side in elections, among other things. The movement needs majority support, which they superficially have now, but will erode soon enough.

I'm saying this President doesn't get to say what's what anymore.
I mean, he can still say it, but it's meaningless.
The emperor is naked, hardly anyone still compliments his invisible suit, and even he can feel the breeze on his backside.

Even here, few even try to say anything good about Trump. They only try to minimize what's awful about him. Those defending him usually just attack anyone reporting the sad facts of matter. We're to the point where we are considered biased by merely talking about what verifiably happened. Sometimes, an actual "take" isn't even required anymore to set them off.

I don't take it personally and I doubt Heel does either.
Go nuts.

So true. I'm getting really sick of President Trump and all of the Republicans doing absolutely nothing right now other than grandstanding and "owning the libs" on Twitter.

Ok, please explain what was wrong with what he said this time. People who illegally deface and destroy private property and do so while hiding behind a "protest" should receive the maximum sentence.

I think the sympathizers have grown dramatically. More so that just the numbers growing, it’s louder and more consistent. It’s everywhere. Companies, corporations big and small.

And if Trump gets re-elected in November, that will only cause more chaos. That’s one thing I am absolutely sure of.
