I Wonder What Former President Obama Says Now??

You've got to give Sienna credit for being consistent, unlike the rest of us. She's a bit of an anarchist, and that applies regardless of whether you're talking about Covid 19 or the demonstrations.

Here's an alternative view, from Candace Owens, a young black Republican. A friend who's political views are far right badgered me into listening to it and I'm glad I did.

I don't agree with her. The situation is more complicated and nuanced than she thinks. But the video is worth the time to watch.

Warning to my friends here on the left -- this will piss you off.

No George Floyd was not an amazing person. Whether he was high or had a baggie full of some drug is irrelevant. His past record is irrelevant. I don't know if he should be looked at as a martyr but his death was uncalled for, and Owens admits that.

Had there not been someone at the scene filming the incident, there is a good chance that the police officer would not have been charged. Had someone not filmed the Ahmaud Aubrey incident it is possible no one would have been charged with his death.

I agree with you that the situation is more complex than Owens makes it out to be. I was listening to an interview with Robin Roberts a few nights ago. She told the story of growing up in a home with 2 sisters and 1 brother. The 3 sisters complained to the mother as to why she seemed to treat the brother differently and her mother said "You don't know what it's like growing up as a black man in this country." So true.

Yeah, it’s sad to say being born both black and a boy in the USA is a major handicap. There are too many young black males who end up with a criminal record, often for nonviolent crimes like drug offenses, and then that haunts them for the rest of their lives by making them less marketable in the job market. And yes law enforcement is more likely to pick on you if you’re young, male and black.

Any thoughts on why black females outnumber black males on college campuses these days?

Based on violent crime and statistics, I think you meant to say that law enforcement take proper precautions and actions in evaluating their safety and crime probability when engaging young black males.

Yes, statistically more blacks as a % of the population are arrested than whites. That probably wouldn't make you feel better if you're black and singled out for a body search because of your skin color.

Tiger Woods was born a black boy, but the Son-of-a-Bitch had a zero handicap by the time he was 9

yet the rhetoric would have you believe Black Women are imprisoned more than White Males.

Black Women are 22% of the female prison population, or about 1.5% of ALL Prisoners.. White Males are 32% of the Male population, or about 29% of ALL Prisoners.

From both a rhetoric and statistic standpoint, young black males are more likely to be involved in both violent and non-violent crime followed by young white males. Then the other groups kick in.

Back to the OP and premise of the thread "

He states - "Its' all Trumps Fault. Vote Biden".

#1: Ivy League graduates rarely talk the way you do - you are very likely just a common average guy.

Bush43 got into Harvard MBA with a different type of affirmative action, he had a relative in Congress. No one gets into Harvard MBA school with a "C" average today, NO one.
