Funny! LOL

Walmart has the stuff folks want, especially in lower SES. But it is difficult to listen to complaints of lack of opportunity or food deserts when businesses are periodically torched and looted..

Cannot say I like the post office, but I do like Cook County. Art Deco can be cool (see Union Terminal in Cincinnati) but it can also be lipstick on brutalism. The post office is one of those.

We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers.

He should ride a bike through Philadelphia.

Speaking of bogus pronouncements, what's up with the NORKs?

Shhhhh

We're getting close to the old:

"Take two aspirins, call if you're not doing better in a couple of days."

@89th said in Don't tell BLM about these stats:

Alright, I admit this was a quick exercise, but basically what I did was I took all violent crime offenders by race and compared police deaths by race, and it came out to 0.19% of whites are killed by police, and 0.15% of blacks are killed by police. If you look at all crimes (not just violent), it's about the same % (so, essentially no difference in skin color).

I used FBI crime numbers for 2017-2019 as my source.

Again.....I took about 5 minutes to run these numbers, am I missing something obvious?

What I said before still stands: if we're talking real honest-to-God progress with race in the U.S., I think the "well-off white folk" have a responsibility to reach out to the black community and try to have an objective conversation. This kind of information is a good place to start. And the black community has a responsibility to listen objectively, respond, and then we go from there.

Like any good compromise even this suggestion is sure to piss off a ton of people, but I was talking about progress, not one group or the other having positive feels.

Progress is unattainable when the "victim" relishes their role.

Absolutely! Or maybe....pick a motorcycle!

Racists.

So, IOW, it's the original virus, murder hornets and SMOD, right?

Wow. That is great news for him that he seems to be doing well.

Some many reports of people who are ventilated for a long time are having a difficult recovery.

@89th said in Popular Cincinnati BBQ offers free meals to black people Wednesday:

Because no one would dare object to it. But imagine if a restaurant offered a "free meals for white people" day.

That's funny, why would a white person pay?

White people don't pay for meals.

You know what I think? All of you need a project. You need to work on something that keeps you occupied mentally and physically for the next week. Catch the news for 30 minutes. Limit your other screen time to no more than an hour per day (unless it’s for work, but then focus only on work). Forget about this crap for a few days...

I can multitask. Hang a radio on my scarecrow, and pick away while listening to El Rushbo...
