VERY odd, the US would even initiate a pull out knowing there are around $1trillion in Li in Afghanistan...no wonder the Chinese are cozying up to the Taliban.....
You are speaking of the extremist... the lions share of the people that attended that day were peaceful and many of them were not inside the capitol... some that were walked in between the roped off areas in the rotunda and damaged and or attacked nobody. To say all them that were there to support Trump and participated in damaging and attacking the US Capitol and attacking the politicians inside is part of the propaganda coming from the MSM. We even have Capitol police opening gates and showing protestors the way into the building... yeah... that is real out of hand behavior... sarcasm intended. meanwhile... the capitol policeman shoots and kills a protestor with no warning and his name is protected... and the media says nothing about race when a black cop shoots a white unarmed women.
Nothing changed. In the 70's and 80's there was plenty of talk, at least in segregated places like Los Angeles, about the confederate flag and it's nazi like origin. The pre internet and social media era kept many unaware. When mentioned, it was ignored by the ignorant, which by the way is a fitting word to describe the rest of the quote.
Smoke this... in 1958 a poll was conducted that asked if interracial marriages should be made legal. Only 4% agreed. A recent poll with the same question is now affirmed as positive by 95% of the current population. Isn't interracial marriage a point of contention as it regards racism? It might have been a Gallop poll... I am good with remembering numbers and I heard this a day or two ago. Is it true? How do you know for certain anything you hear is true?
If I understand the point you're trying to make, it's flawed. I lived in Los Angeles 30 years until 1993, and I assure you the attitude towards racism is night and day different between there and here in the Midwest. Sure, racists exist but the ratio is not even close regionally. That's why I made the comment about the confederate flag. You stated that no one had a problem with it until recent years, and that is completely incorrect.
Did the TV show titled Dukes of Hazard suffer in the ratings because the General Lee had a Confederate flag on the roof? I didn't hear an uproar of negative public sentiment during the time it was on TV, did you? Perhaps there was a vocal concern in the public, but, I never noticed it.
Biden sold out the USA to China... Biden likes China... China has contributed much to the Biden crime family through Hunter. Hunter still owns some financial benefit connected to China at the last report.
The whole world has been sold out to China for years...and long before Biden became president.
Yes, this conversation is going in circles. I said, in my circle of friends or place in the world, there was plenty of conversation about the immorality behind displaying the confederate flag. Victim hood mentality? What gives you the right to decide when a wrong has been righted, when said wrong wasn’t inflicted on you?
The TV show "Dukes of Hazzard" is not on TV anymore even in re--runs (at least here). When it and many other TV shows and movies were made, it was a different time, there would have been no vocal concern over it at the time. I believe social media has become the eyes of the world, in the days before social media, there might have been many people who objected but had no platform from which to voice their displeasure.
Nixon was the president that helped establish trade relations with China in the 70s... under Clinton in the 90s it was a relationship that expanded considerably. Once China was admitted into the WTO then it was full speed ahead by the CCP to gain market share through mass production and take advantage of a naive world where countries thought of China as a peaceful nation. Just ask the people of Hong Kong and Tiawan what it means to be under the influence of the CCP rules for living. China will eat your lunch while pretending to be your friend... its called covert hostility. They steal or hack into our sensitive information and infiltrate our businesses and political and educational culture in ways that only a diabolical entity can.
The "wrong" that was righted came at the close of the Civil War in the 18th century. The slaves were freed from bondage on the state and federal level. That created a new problem... where does a freed slave go once his or her personal freedom is written into law? I heard that many slaves didn't leave the plantation once given the freedom to move about. They had no resources or property to inhabit. I am guessing they stayed and worked out an agreement with their former owners.
whatever dude... I have wondered why those numbers never paired up anyway... is the first century counted as a zero century?
No need to guess what happened, it was called reconstruction and it worked very well. Reconstruction lasted 20 +/- years from around 1860 to 1880 I think. In many states like N.C. for example, Blacks outnumbered whites and almost all of the skilled labor was done by blacks. Blacks prospered in this time with many doctors, lawyers, and politicians. this led to the 14th amendment in 1868 which made Blacks full citizens. Reconstruction was essentially ended by violence against Blacks and Black communities by whites and groups like the KKK. Look up the Memphis and New Orleans riots (until the 60s,
First of all, why the quote marks on the word wrong? You don't think slavery was truly wrong? Secondly, horrible racism, the segregated buses, bathrooms and drinking fountains, hiring practices...have all taken place much more recently than the end of the Civil War.
I find racism and slavery repulsive just like most sane and unbiased people. Changing the law by force ( Civil War ) is a much different objective as compared to how impossible it is to change the minds and behavior of millions of people.
Regardless, it’s a wrong and it is not those of us that weren’t the targets that can decide if it’s been righted. You called it “the remnants of racism” as if it lingered only because of slavery. That’s complete BS. The consequences of racism have not been righted by any means.
