    I wanted to endorse CRT as its important to teach real history.
    I wasnt sure where to put the video and i looked for a more appropriate place but couldnt find one, and I didn't want to start a separate thread.
    Im a almost 72 year old guy that has a multi race family. African American, Korean, Vietnamese, & Hispanic. Different religions and some with differing politics. We are very close and supportive of one another and we all despise blatant thuggery and I one of my kids sent me this video and it pissed me off.

    I dont know and to me it doesn't matter. Anyone that treats women or kids like that we don't need in our community.

    Maybe I shouldn't have used deport, just get them off the streets before they kill someone. Maybe Moscow?

    Granted, depending on your definition of unnecessary/unjustified violence. I would venture yours is a bit different than mine.

    OK, well I differentiate between violence for the sake of violence, and justified defense of one's assets/possessions/loved ones, etc. This might be where 2nd Amendment rights may come into play.

    When I grew up we were dirt poor. Some nights I had no dinner. Other nights I remember eating corn bread and milk for dinner. We had no government programs in those days and that's what the poor got, nothin'.
    Do I like seeing the poor get treated anywhere near as bad todeay? Hell no! I've never minded paying my fair share in taxes plus contributions to United Way, the Red Cross and our church which supports meals on wheels plus clothing and school supplies for poor children. Not every neighborhood is wealthy enough to support their local poor so what do the poor have to help them? Zero, nothing but platitudes from wealthy Republicans who are too God Damned obsessed with adding more to their larder and block the poor out of their consciousness.
