Violence, hostile acts, looting are not going to solve the racial issues in this country.
It didn’t happen as a result of the race riots in the 60’s and it won’t solve them now......

In Scott Adams periscope yesterday he brought up a good point.
Scott said that this was one of those times when the WHOLE COUNTRY lined up and agreed that an injustice had been carried out. Then look what happened? Those in ANTIFA and BLM over-sold the agreement and went ahead and f'd it up by RIOTING and LOOTING and HARMING innocents.
All that good-will was thrown away in a blink of an eye.

Dan -
Believe it or not, everything in the world is not a liberal conspiracy. And I was not aware that political parties owned cities... interesting perspective.
Please get the help you clearly need.

Owned = run.
Now you're just being obtuse and avoiding the topic. Typical.
No liberal conspiracy here. It's the Democrats that have blood on their hands, not the Republicans. You guys can't run Cities, you can't run States and you sure as heck can't run the Federal Government.
We've all seen it with our naked eyes, dude. Out in the open.
Best and worst cities. Spot the Democrat-run cities.

When the white liberal establishment loses a prominent Black Communist, you KNOW the Democrats are finished.
The gates are opening...and the citizens are restless.

And last I checked, cities are owned by the public rather than politicians. Your view that political parties "own" cities is pretty telling about your world view.

We need a voice of leadership in these times. Where is it? No national address from the President. No official statement from the President. No leadership from the President......
WHY?

There was a national address by the president. He quoted a segregationist bigot with "when the looting starts, the shooting starts."

I agree with those calling the President to the floor, the response has been poor and leadership is needed.
What I don't understand is why those of you that have an incessant hate for him are expecting anything different. No matter what he does, you won't support it. So in essence you've lost your ability to have any influence. Yet you continue to challenge him.....why haven't your turned your call to action to our more reachable elected officials? Where is Swalwell, where is Kamala Harris? At least Newsom and Pelosi are making strides (I don't agree with them, but there is action).
These other two elected officials are no better than Trump in this regard, arguably Kamala has direct contribution to the problem.
All I see from them are "clap backs" to Trump's tweets. These two are no better than any other keyboard activist - and they are actually in positions of influence to do something about it.

" No national address from the President."
Ummmm...he addressed the nation yesterday and about 6 times before that. He's said demonstrably that what happened to Floyd was a travesty and injustice at least all of those 6-7 times!
What the hell else do you want him to do?
Well, he told the States Governors (you know, the ones IN CHARGE of the response) to get tougher on stemming the loss of life and property or he would use Federal powers to do it. You know what the Blue State Governors (you know, the States with the cities that are being destroyed) said in response? "Tough [removed], Trump!"
You people have the nerve to get on this board and criticize Trump for the over 50[removed] years of white liberal democrat/communist politicians and NGO's for ruling/owning/running and RUINING these cities and the Black American communities that live within them??!!
[removed]
He's done EVERYTHING legally within his power thus far and you have the stupidity to tell us he hasn't addressed this properly?

Yeah, that communist liberal Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker (Republican). And that leftie Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (Republican). Don't even get me started on the blue as blue can be Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (Republican). The stalinist Governor of Florida Ron Desantis (Republican) can't keep his people in line either!
These leftie communist governors really need to get a grip on the protests in their cities.
Get a grip Dan.

"the response has been poor and leadership is needed."
(removed) he is literally bound by the law in his response.
It's the State GOVERNORS and City MAYORS that have the responsibility to quell the violence and, for the most part, have sat back and watch life and property get destroyed.
If the Governors request federal help, ONLY THEN, can Trump do anything.
Guess what? They're not requesting. Why? Because they have idiots they know will bash Trump of the perceived lack of activity. In other words: POLITICS.

They want to talk about anything other than their being 100% completely RESPONSIBLE for the dynamics in the inner-cities and within the Democrat party.
Done with them.
