Gezz, not any black faces in the photo either, it would be so much easier for Donald if most of the people were black. La Fayette park will be filled with an awful lot of white folks, maybe more than the brown people by quite a bit, makes for bad TV scenes for Donald. The realisation with the folks at home that this may have started as a black protest, but spread quickly to others who were outraged by the murder, this was the straw that broke the camel's back. The fact that so many are risking coronavirus for what they believe is impressing someone. Another thing is happening too, the media and public have separated what happens at night, from what happens peacefully in daytime and they are two separate issues.Protesters greeting the president as they should. Warms my cockles whatever those are.

Trigger event James, it's not just about him any more than a bus ride was about Rosa Parks or a football player taking a knee. Sometimes ya got to take to the streets, they just need to keep public support and play it smart, they need organisation and leaders. It's gonna be another long hot summer James, but change will come of it.This is an almost unbelievable situation we exist in today, with COVID-19 and with protests/riots in every major city in this country.
But what really amazes me is how the murder of one African American man in Minneapolis Minnesota has brought the entire World to it's feet.
They are very aware it seems of the injustice perpetuated on the Black community in America, and that is both heartening and sad at the same time.
Ok got me!There is one black lady in that pic, she just has on a pink mask.
Now ya know how the rest of the world feels, but not just in America in other places too, things are not as bad elsewhere, but they could be better, here in Canada too. Some of the voices were raised about local issues too, it's not a government problem, it is a problem with individuals and their conditioning. Even for those who mindfully try to be unbiased, there are subconscious forces of habit and fear at play, over time, even they can be overcome though. Government can make it better or worse, as can education, culture and media, all are weapons in a social fight.This is an almost unbelievable situation we exist in today, with COVID-19 and with protests/riots in every major city in this country.

Your right.it is a problem with individuals and their conditioning. Even for those who mindfully try to be unbiased, there are subconscious forces of habit and fear at play, over time, even they can be overcome though.
Looking at the news security and the fencing around the WH, I'd say Trump is wired inside his bunker, not you.we've done this before.....
Yeah, because Putin should be the only one with that power?America, how bad do you want to be communists?
People have a decreasing influence on their kids, rado, and TV exposed kids to other adult role models and let them think more independently. A couple of hundred years ago family and friends had more influence, not so much in an age of two jobs and the internet. It allows us to break the chain of hate past from parent to child, much hate is mere history, some ancient. We've seen how the troubles in Ireland were ended with the removing of grievances and cutting the extremists off from popular support, same thing happened in Canada with Quebec and how Tredeau as justice minister and later PM did it.Your right.
I was conditioned by a Racist Conservative Republican father who hated Blacks, Jews, and especially Italians for some fucked up reason.
Yea, he conditioned me well, into supporting Blacks, Jews and Immigrants.
Maybe that was the reason he threw me out the house when I was 21 (I also smoked pot ) because he knew that I would never be like him
Anyway, on a brighter note, here's my song of the day
I thought he was already? Isnt Trump his puppet?Yeah, because Putin should be the only one with that power?
