For when they call you an SJW:

One day the MAGAts may come to realize the SJWs were fighting for them too.

Do you know who said or wrote that? I don't remember.

That's who I first thought of...

That’s a hate symbol and should be outlawed.

I nuked several of your comments but I’ll let this one stand as a testament to your stupidity

I know you're a moderator but you don't have to nuke comments that are arguing against my memes, unless they're super-derogatory. I'm open to debating Bluessol and others....

Thanks for the input.

If a conservative on this steam is debating intelligently, has their facts straight, is asking genuine questions, etc., I let it play out.

If they are being deliberately obtuse, bigoted, insulting, not acting in good faith, etc. then I don’t think PoliticsTOO should platform it. Under such circumstances, debating them is a waste of everyone’s time and detracts from the PoliticsTOO experience for other users as well. I judged that his comments here fell into that category; the one comment I left standing offers a taste of what he was on about.

We’re not the politics stream which is broadly deferential to memers’ “free speech” no matter how bad-faith or misinformed. We have higher standards here.

Just my opinion.

Ok, those are good points. I appreciate it and I won't question your moderating again. Bluessol has usually been civil with me in debating, and I can do that on the main politics stream more.

About your deleted comment on how SJW is code: I agree, a lot of Ben Shapiro followers and other right-wing people do use that as a code. This meme STILL applies though...

Sorry I don’t remember what I wrote, but SJW is code for woke and woke is code for socialist indoctrination. Social injustice is exaggerated by the enemies of this country. The countries with the highest standard of living for immigrants and the the highest standard of living for blacks in the world is right here in the good old USA. No other country surpasses it.

I would disagree and argue that we could do better for the standard of living of black Americans; I could research it more though. I'm white, but, like me, aren't you unhappy with the way people of color have been treated in this country throughout the history of it. Many of us "SJW"s really do want America to do better and we want progress; criticism is not unpatriotic.

The problem is class not race. Rich minorities, including wealthy blacks, have advantages that most never have. They bribe the college to get their C student kids into a top flight school and a prestigious degree. Black Athletes have tremendous privilege. You guys want to make it all about race, but it’s not so much anymore. Historically certainly, you can’t change it. It already happened. The laws emplaced have made equal opportunity the law of the land, but some want preferential treatment. Name a legal discrimination or inequality that is condoned. There isn’t. Screeching harpies who demand white shame and compliance will never achieve what they think. They just breed division and hate instead of equality.

Yes, there is a class problem, and there are many dirt poor white folks; but, in this meme, I'm not saying that we're being called Fiscal Justice Warriors.

Here's two legal inequalities: 1 - Compared to white offenders, black Americans tend to serve more time than white Americans for the same crime. 2 - a black American is almost four times more likely than a white American to be arrested for marijuana possession. These two discriminations seem to be condoned.

Many people of color are fighting an uphill battle from a young age.

You claim legal Inequities by laying out a singular context. When you say Black offenders serve more time than white offenders you don’t say if one group has more prior offenses that affect sentencing or various other enhancements that affect sentencing. If you are saying that a first time offender for say marijuana possession gets a harsher sentence because they are black I would challenge that. You completely ignore the effect of being involved in criminal culture that glorifies criminality. That combined with socio economic issues lends that blacks are more likely to have a prior record or conviction that leads to harsher sentencing. The promotion of “gangsterism” is not without consequences and is mirrored in the latino community by the glorification of “narco trafficantes.” When you pull numbers without context you can find inequities. Reality is it’s fairer than you think and if a group is involved in more criminality they suffer more adverse affects. The reality is the root is economic more than racial and poor white kids are sentenced just as harshly for the same reasons. The inequity come from $$$ privilege. Here you see a distinct difference in sentencing comparing wealthy of any color to anyone else.

I've had black friends who are definitely not into gangsterism, but I guess that's only a small, personal example. Those friends have tried to tell me what it's like for them, and they seem to get pulled over by police and get "side eyed" in public MUCH more than I do. I'm telling you, my heart is in the right place and I want these people to feel more welcome in their own country. I will listen to what they are trying to say. From what I've researched, the government has somewhat created these inner-city problems - pushing many black Americans into these urban lifestyles.

I am not denying that they get more attention and your black friends would certainly feel it the most from guilt by association. That association being color. So there are oft quoted statistics about crimes committed by race. If your commit a high percentage of the murders, is it wrong people are wary of you? There are certainly things that can be done and some of those have to come from the community itself. It’s easy to blame all your troubles on other people for any myriad of reasons. Poor white kids don’t get any better treatment from the police than minority kids. People who have prior convictions get tougher sentences regardless of race. More than Half the cops where I live are not white. What about Asians? They are a minority aren’t they? Why do they seem to prosper? Is it cultural and strong familial bonds? What this it? Certainly they suffer similar discrimination in the evil racist United States?

Yeah, it's complicated. But, too many out there just say "13-50" instead of trying to come up with ways to improve the situation. It MIGHT be a nurture thing instead of a nature thing.
Just saying "black people are more likely to be criminals" doesn't solve anything.

Poor people are more likely to be criminals regardless of race. They are also likely to have more adverse contact with police and receive stiffer punishments. Their neighborhoods see more crime so they get more police attention and resources. The police and courts are not as racist as is being portrayed. As I said many police especially in the big cities are minorities themselves. Some or even most may be classists, but if you have prior convictions even for minor offenses it affects your sentencing. Again poor people regardless of their color or the reason for their poverty are more likely to have prior convictions and therefore receive harsher sentences for minor offenses because multiple minor offenses make a difference than no prior offenses.

Yes, you are right about poor people in general.
