First of all, I no longer live in the Lehigh Valley. Secondly, I'll meet you and we'll go over.  Let me know what time.

Candace Owens is wrong. Black Americans aren't defending criminals, they are defending people. The criminal history of the person is unknown until some want to justify the person's death by claiming the person's past if responsible for their death. 

Also, I just meant that if black families were whole and people were educated and working (despite the lack of jobs and broken education system in poor urban areas) then racism and police brutality would be fought against in a systematic way so that it would be defeated.

Police didn't clean up my neighborhood or shoot the criminals where I lived. Heck, I wish they would've...

More media BS? Do you have links to what media BS you are referencing?

No.  I answered that already.  Pretty simple question and answer there.  Why are you such a pain?

Gee, I'm sorry I'm just a pain to a troll like you.  Do you really want to troll everyone on this forum every day instead of being productive with your life?

Not what I was getting at.  Were there bricks placed in places where protests were being held to be used for throwing or where the pictures taken of a stack of brick by a job site?  I've seen some of the stories on social media about this and I am just wonder if it's actually true or not.

I was referencing other media stories where they used old photos and B-roll of something different to push the narrative behind their story.   I saw a story the other day using a screenshot from World War Z to show a city in flames, playing it off as the protests.  I know you've all seen similar things and talk about CNN doing it.

I'm not trolling, douche canoe.  I'm joining the conversation like the others here.  I'm really starting to think you've got some personal issues.  I think you should go back to being a New Civil War buff and quit trolling me.

Fox posted a picture of bricks dropped off on a street corner and it turns out it was from a year ago for some construction taking place.  Typical Fox News tactic. And idiots like Hardcore are the target audience because they fall for it every time.

So no bricks have been used in the riots because Fox did that? Lol

[Hawkeye21 2,400]

There are all kinds of stories about bricks and rocks being placed around cities for protesters.  One video shows police unloading bricks and people are saying the police were trying to incite brick throwing.  Another picture showed a pallet of bricks in an empty parking lot and people are saying they were placed there for the protesters but satellite imagery showed the bricks had been sitting there since December.

There's too much BS being spread on social media and the news.  It's hard to trust anything.

No because you are the one trying to accuse people on this forum of not seeing racism.  If you want to tilt at windmills, then except to be called nuts.

Do you really think its cool for looters to ransack stores in downtown NY?

Why are inner city schools broken?  I tend to believe it’s the lack of parent/ student commitment versus a broken school.

 

but I’ll be corrected if you have a reason otherwise.

I don’t think I accused anyone of not seeing racism. 

No. I don’t think it’s cool. I think it’s stupid.

Lack of funding?

Purely anecdotal here...I dont think its funding, or teachers, or buildings. Ive done countless public ed programs in inner city schools.  Most of these localities spend more $ per student than suburban schools. In most instances, we recieve thank you drawings from kids.  Its almost like most of the kids cant even write.  I dont think its because their stupid, I just think theres very little premium put on education in black street culture. 

I had a young black kid come by the firehouse and we would tutor him on math till his mom got home from work.  He couldnt tell the other kids he was trying to do well because he would get beat up.

Wrong. Washington DC spends more per student than anywhere in the country. Schools are not good.

That’s just one example out of many schools across the nation though. Funding wouldn’t be the only reason.

I believe schools get a lot of their money from property taxes. If the housing in the area is crappy then there won’t be very much money coming in from taxes. Just one theory.

They also have the highest cost of living. How much are the homes worth in a black neighborhood compared to a white neighborhood?
