    I wish we could figure out what triggers this crap inside a teenager's brain. Because from the outside, it just appears to be pure evil.  Like each of these shootings/mass casualty events, there will probably be extenuating circumstances but they are the same circumstances thousands of teenagers put up with but never snap.

    Sure mental health is part of the problem and you’ll get a bunch of replies stating that. But I’d also argue hate is learned so where are they learning this culture?  Are they bring “taught” because of the dark shit you can find on the youtubes?

    I support this.  I don't support vast bureaucracies with Deans of Diversity and Inclusion.  Berkeley needs one person at $70K to go around talking to high school kids.  They don't need a $20 MM budget with a zillion programs.

    To help show how much of a fucking idiot you are, $70,000 in Berkeley would equate to about $30,000 in Houston. 

     

    Christ, you’re a fucking idiot.

    I'll let you in on two little secrets: 

    1. All negative advertising is designed principally to suppress the vote of the opponent.  For example, talking about an opponent who "voted against Social Security" isn't designed to get votes for the advertiser.  It's designed to lose votes for his opponent.

    2.  Most/much  advertising is negative.  It's not a rare thing.

     

    You are a fucking idiot.

    I'm pretty shocked the Texas-USC game in not ABC Primetime.  I hope to hell it doesn't end up in the afternoon.

    Prime time but on Fox, I bet

    Thankfully, in this case, the police were quick to call the woman out on her bullshit and defended Hayes’ right to be there.

    “You keep the camera rolling. If you have any problems with her, what I want you to do is call me back over here,” a white male officer reassures Hayes. “She will go to jail for that.”

    The woman says something that sounds like, “I’m friends with the sheriff,” but the same officer shuts her down.

    “I don’t care if you’re friends with the president,” he snaps. “You’re going to let him do what he’s going to do. If you try to do anything to stop him, I’m going to take you to jail.”

    “Hurry up, do it and get out!” the woman sneers in Hayes’ direction.

    Again, the cops were not having it.

    “No, no. He can take his time,” a female officer chimes in.

    “He can take all day,” the male officer agrees

    I could care less how school finance works but if the school board and superintendent decide to build more smaller high schools in HISD over salaries, they’re telling me that salaries are just fine.   I would rather they would have put the money in the teachers pockets but they decided not to.    And don’t bother telling me that the buildings were paid for via bonds, because tax dollars will ultimately pay for the whole thing.  Instead of higher salaries now, we are probably paying off new buildings from the 90s and 00s.    The new buildings today are the teachers raises in 2025.   

     

     

    So everyone here is telling you that's not how teacher pay and teaching salary increases work, yet you refuse to believe it? 

    Building new schools/buildings doesn't absolutely mean they don't care about teacher pay.  Moreover, [see below]

  7. Went to Gainesville for Mother's Day and saw a lot of Beto signs in yards.  Gainesville/Cooke County is very, very red and Christian Conservative, so just seeing 1 sign was crazy.

    Probably means nothing, but for him to have supporters there is interesting.

    Were you in grad school prior to Nov 2016?  Poncho seems to think police only started treating minority’s like shit from then...  As a minority who’s been harassed by police (I’ve told one of my stories here) I can tell you that’s a bullshit assessment and it ruins his credibility on the subject. 

    For example; those of us that remember the old place and the need for a Bernard forum, Eric Garner died on July, 7, 2014.  BLM was started in 2013 during the previous administration; why was there a need for BLM if prior to Nov 2016 we lived in utopia?  

    No I don't. 

    I feel like it's increased since then.  I don't know what that's attributed to.

    Crazily enough, all of my police interactions have been civil and cordial. 

  9. My point is making this thread was because there's a sense that something different has been going on with blacks (and POCs) since November 2016.  I'm not sure if technology has just made us more aware or what, but as a black guy, shit just feels...different.  And then we get evidence of some of this stuff and it just makes you angry.  Could I be next?  Some of these incidents are clearly just white people calling the cops on random black people for nothing.  But I'm 100% honest in saying that there are incidents across the country where blacks, Latinx, and whoever else did something wrong and should be rightfully arrested as so. 

    I guess my purpose in starting this thread is to allow those who don't believe stuff is happening or who refuse to believe it (or who say "i've never see that") to see that yes, it's happening.  I think where anger comes into play is those who say these are isolated incidents. 

    Very rarely in these incidents (Starbucks, Yale, etc.) do we see cops sticking up for people of color.  Where are more of those stories?  Seems like POC are automatically labled as suspicious.  Rough and harrass first, then ask questions later. 

    This is from my perspective.  I'm also a minority...a minority who has his insurance card literally taped to my car visor so a cop won't think I'm reaching for something. (then again i'm light skinned and sophisticated.)

     

    I dunno...just wish more people would realize something is going on instead of saying "the same thing would happen if they were white."  If that's true, where are those tapes?

    Because they know what's coming...which completely defeats their position. It's easier to blame arrests in the black neighborhoods on targeted racism than actually admit that nefarious illegal activities constantly take place and perhaps that's what the problem is. That maybe the reputation of the neighborhood itself dictates the feelings of personal safety for citizens and law enforcement based on actual criminal activity.

    The purpose of this thread is to say "Here are examples of whites possibly being racist and transitive properties makes ALL transgressions against blacks a racist act!" Some people buy into the bullshit because they are trying to show how not-racist they really are. Some of us are smart.

     LOL no it's not.  You're smarter than this.

    Does Chicago give a shit

    Yes, but you didn't bother to do your research which isn't shocking.  Instead, you opted for a funny quip.  

    Homicides are down 25%

    Shootings are down 30%
