"Social Distancing" at the Lake

[Mr. V]

A county jail out here on the left coast just released a couple hundred inmates well in advance of their scheduled release date due to covid-19 concerns.

What is worse? The Corona Virus or being robbed and mugged by an ex-con on early release?

They are releasing non violent criminals, but it's nice to see you are trying to calm peoples fears.

Burglaries will be rare.

[JEEPONLY]

I would suggest that phrases such as- lily white / black magic- are adjectival, not racist.

Have you ever been caught red faced?

There is a meme circulating about that - everyone is sitting at home with a firearm and enough bleach and paper towels to clean up the mess.

Our children have been "social distancing" for years now.
We are now seeing the effects it is having on adults.
Our moral compass is being tested and many are failing.
We use to say "we are turning into our parents" but I think now we are turning into our children.

No wonder Gen X is so unfazed by social distancing

I'm worried you got "the first sign"...

Probably not contagious...

I think you need a history lesson. Starting with the Civil War, Reconstruction, Segregation, Re-segregation (by Woodrow Wilson), Jim Crow, etc., the party of racism was the Democrats. HRC's idol, Robert Byrd, was the exulted cyclops of the KKK. He was in the Senate until 2010. Research what Lyndon Johnson said while returning to his ranch after signing the Civil Rights Act (which was initiated by Republicans). What you are saying is patently false. Who is the party of identity politics?

Agreed that there are plenty of racist Democrats, such as Byrd. But let's not throw LBJ under the same label. I don't know what he said when he got back to his ranch, but far more importantly than anything he might have said, he did champion the Civil Rights Act--at significant political cost. Richard Nixon capitalized on the backlash with his Southern Strategy, and of course, that was pretty much the end of the South for the Dems.

Given your interest in this though, doesn't it at least bug you that Trump has said a number of things that have inflamed racial tensions? Just for example--don't you wish he had not said there were good people on both sides when referring to the Charlottesville white nationalist march?

LBJ was a reluctant champion. He did it to secure votes, plain and simple. The CRA started as a republican initiative in the late 1950s.

Nothing Trump has said has bugged me. He calls thing as he sees them. Regarding Charlottesville, the other side he was referencing wasn't the white nationalists, but the first amendment supporters. There were many groups there. He has NEVER said that he supports the KKK or white nationalists.

He was on national TV for 15 years, worked with hundreds if not thousands of people. If he had any hint of racism, or is a racists, we could call on dozens of examples from this period of time. NOTHING. (As an anecdote, I know a producer of the Apprentice, who is far from conservative, who states that Trump was good to everyone, and that there was never any instances of misogynist or racist behavior.) He has been in the public light for nearly 40 years. NOTHING. These accusations are about as real as Russian collusion.

You know, you lose all credibility for your fair points (like Byrd was a racist) when you follow them with stuff that we all know is not true. You might Google Trump misogynistic statements, then ask a partner at your law firm what would happen to an employee who said this stuff on the job or even broadcast while not on the job.

I hate to break it to you, worst things are said in locker rooms all the time. He had a private moment with a reporter over 10 years ago. If that's all you have then you don't have much.

What he said to Billy Bush cannot be compared to saying something to an employee in a business or workplace setting. I taught and conducted presentations on workplace harassment and discrimination for years in the military. I have a lot of experience in this area of the law.

Google it. There are several reports of racist behavior while he was on the Apprentice. So, it’s not really NOTHING.

Checked.

The BBC version is widely criticized.

I don’t need to google anything. My source is solid. He knows Trump and his family well. This is FAKE news.

One of the interesting thing about racism is that almost no one identifies as a racist. Instead, all across the political spectrum, from one side to the other, people say they are not racist - but can point to those who are.

Your lack of intelligence is showing. The facts do not support your claim. Perhaps you may wish to think a little more before you post.

Hillary tried the same approach, making false claims about Republicans: How did that work out for you?

Some notable Republican progress to help minorities:

Civil Rights Act of 1960: "Eisenhower signed the GOP’s 1960 Civil Rights Act after it survived a five-day, five-hour filibuster by 18 Senate Democrats."

Desegregating schools (1957): Dwight Eisenhower "deployed the 82nd Airborne Division to desegregate Little Rock’s government schools over the strenuous resistance of Governor Orval Faubus (D., Ark.)."

Emancipation Proclamation (1863): The first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, issued an order freeing all slaves in the confederacy.

The First Asian-American U.S. Senator (1959): The first Asian-American senator, Republican Hiram Fong, was elected in Hawaii.

[garysanfran]

With a lack of intelligence.

Ignorance I associate with a lack of knowledge.

gwhite13 could increase HIS knowledge by reading some of the posts in this Forum.

From my experience, stupidity keeps more than a 6' distance from the members on this Forum, because the numbers are few.

Lot of knowledge is past through this Forum, and thanks to all those who share knowledge AND intelligence with others.

Name calling is for the intellectually vapid with no intellectual knowledge to share.

This is supported by the news- gun inventories are depleted in many shops!
SAD.

At least you can defend yourself with your firearm if mugged...
