"Perhaps worst of all, local property taxes have been used as a weapon of fiscal depredation, separating Black Americans from their hard-earned property. “When they failed to pay on time,” Kahrl writes, “African Americans were — and continue to be — subjected to the harshest consequences and most predatory features of tax delinquency laws that, in most states, permit local governments to sell liens on tax-delinquent properties to private investors, who can then saddle delinquent taxpayers with crippling debts and, should they fail to pay, take their property.”" I think that's a good start for now.

What do we all think? It’s almost like the black and brown people coming here illegally by the millions should be going somewhere else if any of that was true
Gene Mills Fan Posted February 26 Posted February 26 The author of below is @ThreePointTakedown Provide evidence that you were forced to do any of those things? You always had the option. Granted if you could afford to lose your job and/or have someone else do your grocery shopping you didn’t have to do any of those things. If you couldn’t afford it you should’ve made better individual choices and had a better work ethic to pull yourself up out of your oppressed situation because one person did it once so it was possible for you. If we allowed you to go around without a mask or vaccine and continue to infect the public you would become beholden to… I can’t keep this up. Watching you whine about FINALLY being on the wrong side of perceived oppression would be HILARIOUS if it wasn’t so sad. What do we all think?
Scouts Honor Posted February 26 Posted February 26 i am tired of having to jump through hoops i have been systematically oppressed my entire life. how is it possible that anyone can access any of this thru the govt? it's impossible. yet they get the money... somehow

So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N...., n....” They learned that racists couldn't publicly support other overt racists. So changing the language was the key to keeping the support of the racists. The racists were hurt but hurting the minorities more was also important. Thank you to all the racists and bigots that decided to remain ignorant on this topic. You are all pieces of shit and I pity you. And again I’m glad we will never be confused as to having the same or similar opinions on these topics. Edited March 3 by ThreePointTakedown

It’s probably not easy to see. Let alone what justice would look like to your side. (Losing almost all of your authority and power in exchange for the oppressed being lifted up to fill the gap) Exactly how slave owners thought that they would be killed if slaves were freed. They weren’t. Then passed laws to essentially reenslave as many as possible for as long as possible. That turned into share cropping, red lining, separate but equal, war on drugs(mass incarceration of black and brown people). Once the critical mass has passed y’all start trying to breakdown all the levers that were put in place to ensure equality: affirmative action, DEI, civil rights act itself The racism from conservatives is so obvious. You’ve built it into the bureaucracy so no one ‘is to blame’ and so there’s nothing that can be done about it. The more racist tactics that are uncovered the more y’all double down and scream ‘REVERSE RACISM!’ I know you’ll just hand wave this away. But thank you for the opportunity to vent my frustration against racists and racist supporters.

Bigbrog Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Again...must be so hard to go through life thinking everything and everyone is a racist. yikes... I hate when people try to equate things or people as racist that truly aren't...it reduces the meaning/impact of actual racism which I don't think we should ever do.
Bigbrog Posted March 4 Posted March 4 14 hours ago, El Luchador said: Is it possible they get pulled over more because they don't respect the laws. I am not sure if I believe this statement 100% but what I can do is use an example of my stepbrother who was a long-time cop (retired now) in a pretty crappy city, which I won't name, and he got "written up" for pulling over too many minorities for traffic violations and was told "you need to pull more white people over" (yes it was a police chief appointed by a D mayor)...oh and I'll mention my stepbrother is a minority as well...anyway his response to the chief was "I work nights and can't see into the vehicle when I notice a car speeding/missing headlights/etc. and go to pull them over so how will I know what color they are?"...which I can attest to as I did a couple of ride alongs with him and when we worked speed enforcement you determine well ahead of being able to see in the car if you are going to pull someone over...anyway he was told he needed to do it anyway.

Party loyalty to you is more important than addressing or acknowledging the facts of an issue and finding a solution. This is currently the fault of conservatives. Rep and Dem conservatives. Y’all keep pushing back against possible solutions. Before that you DON’T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS. Yes. Dems in the past did not pass some ideal or even ethical laws. If we could hold them accountable now, I would be in favor of exploring those options. These ARE still issues. There is plenty of evidence to attest to it. Are there problems with the evidence? If not you must agree that the problem requires a solution. Asking someone to ‘just work harder’ in an obviously unjust system is either; lazy, privileged, or purposefully mean

I have to first admit you are right then I can participate in the discussion. You are an idiot.
