You're no more authoritative on the subject than anyone who has read the above evidence, no matter if they stay in Seattle or Istanbul. Walk into literally any black community and try explaining to them that racism is over, they're not persecuted at all and it's all hunky-dory. I'm sure your skewed opinion will go down fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deny it all you want, but it's common knowledge outside white people, evidenced by all the white people on here who would be cool with being friends with racists. Racism in your country is a massive problem and extremely widespread, regardless of your opinion on the matter. It wasn't an opinion piece and it referenced multiple sources. Told you a million times I'm not clicking on a blind link, no site name in your hyper link not arguing with you about that. Again, it depends on how the questions are worded. It's all about perception. You act like we in the US are stuck in the 1940's...you have no idea what goes on here, nada! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said racism was over I said it’s not institutional ie no laws requiring it such as no blacks at the same lunch counter as whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent0range Posted November 9, 2018 #130 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Foxnews says Whitaker's appointment may be illegal. Quote “Under the law, the person running the Department of Justice must have been approved by the United States Senate for some previous position. Even on an interim post,” Napolitano told Fox News’ Dana Perino. Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions was dismissed on Wednesday and Napolitano said his interim replacement should have been Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. While Whitaker was confirmed by the Senate in 2004 when he was appointed U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa, Napolitano said that he was nevertheless ineligible to serve in his current post as the confirmation was not “for a leadership position in the Justice Department.” “Who has been confirmed and who’s next in line? Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein,” Napolitano added. Sure, it's Huffpost, but the quotes are from Foxnews. Law and order...amirite? https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/matt-whitaker-donald-trump-fox-news-attorney-general_us_5be3b528e4b0dbe871a69269 Edited November 9, 2018 by Agent0range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aztek Posted November 9, 2018 #132 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Before he is ousted, Sessions limits U.S. oversight of local police Advocates criticized Sessions' departing order, saying the new procedures will make it more difficult to ensure that law enforcement and other entities such as schools and companies uphold an individual's constitutional rights. "This move is a slap in the face to the dedicated career staff of the department who work tirelessly to enforce our nation's civil rights laws," Vanita Gupta, head of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, an advocacy group, said in a statement. https://www.yahoo.com/news/ousted-sessions-limits-u-oversight-local-police-135710088.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
