However, when the attacked Fort Sumter, they started the war.


Look, somebody in 2020 still espousing the Lost Cause.


Says the person who clearly lacks understanding of historical context.


Dude, we all know the historical context. Arguing that the states had a right to secede is so 1860.


The irony is that the Confederacy did not give the states who joined the right to secede. They were hypocrites in every way imaginable.

Boomers protests led to the end of the war in Vietnam.

Zoomer protests will lead to the end of the war on Black America.

(That second one's been going on for over 150 years. It's time it ended.)



The first war was real; the second, not so much.


Don't kid yourself. Police power has been used to wage a war on black Americans since reconstruction. It's become less overt over the years, but it's still raging.

All a police officer needs to say to justify killing a black man in contemporary America is "I thought he was reaching for a gun."


Do you think they ever do think he's reaching for a gun? I wonder if the way to go is robots--like robo cop.


I don't know. Perhaps they learn to be more fearful of black suspects while observing that there are few consequences for escalating encounter with them.

I'm pretty sure, though, that had Tamir Rice been a 12-year-old white boy playing with a toy gun in a park, he would still be alive.

Exactly. And why were the cops just sitting back watching and condoning the vandalism and destruction of property? And why was the media encouraging such inappropriate behavior?


When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them...


Look how that worked out for the Confederacy...

Nope. Just the racist trash staining our society for too long.


The problem with the 1st amendment -- and social media -- that it gives ignorant zealots a license to spout their dangerous, benighted nonsense.


I know, right? I've been watching the news for the last three weeks.

People would simply claim that the robot is programmed to be racist.

A better alternative would be to let an intelligent species of extraterrestrial who had no previous knowledge of humanity make the decisions. That should work, for a minute or two at least. Until someone called the aliens racist.

It’s already been detected that AI has been taught to flag darker skin based on what it learned from human trainers.

I'm pretty sure you could account in your programming for that bias if you know about it. The fact is, there are people who wave guns in the street. Set up a safe perimeter, have the robots go in? I don't know how we are to have humans do these works any longer, especially if the bias is implicit meaning not even conscious. Also, black cops feel it too.

I wonder what the last 150 years would have been like had we just let them go.

Technological innovation would probably have made slaves unnecessary. Maybe they would have freed them anyway or let them "escape" to the north?

Yes, laws are passed. There had been previous attemots to legislate the removal of the statue. They failed. You keep trying. Thats called being a nation of laws. We dont all get what we want when we want automatically or by force. Thats called anarchy, or in the hands of a few - oligarchy, faciscim or dictatorship.


Right. People can’t be allowed to just tear down things they don’t like. What would have happened if it was anything other than a statue? I saw a video of a bicyclist tearing down BLM posters. He lost his job and was arrested and rightfully so.


No ... that was because he put his hands on a child that wasn’t his own.

They were not children. They were adults over the age of 18. What he did was wrong, but don't distort the facts.

Actually police power was originated in this country well before the Reconstruction Period. Slave Patrollers were the original police, used to wage fear and death upon any slave who got out of line and dared to escape. These slave patrollers simply evolved into the police force we have today. Same mentality, same methods, just as acceptable to most white people.
