Just say you hate hispanics and blacks and be done with it.[/quote]

Nope. I hate white liberals who treat POC like they were pets. Poor, simple creatures who can’t look after themselves without the intervention and guiding white hand reaching down from their ivory tower to care for them, since they can’t take care of themselves. Your polices have destroyed generations of black families. And your soft on crime nonsense has ensured they live in neighborhoods saturated with crime. I’m glad to see the fruits of all your labor coming to bear in your own communities now, too. This is what you have wrought, and now it’s on your doorstep. Good. [/quote]

You are a vile disgusting creature. I reported your racist trash post. Go to hell. [/quote]

Honest question, that I gingerly write, awaiting the backlash.    But how is that post racist?   There are a ton of BLACK people who feel the same way about performative white progressives.   [/quote]

DP and I would sincerely like to know which *progressive* policies the PPs think have harmed black families.  Specifically.

Decades and decades of policies from all types of administrations have hurt black families.  You know...allowing slavery...Jim Crow.  Redlining.  But you are claiming progressive policies are the problem.  Please support this.

Not that poster.  De-policing disproportionately hurts Black families.

It's not the fact that it's progressive that hurts people.  It's the fact that local leaders engage in superficial hashtag governance and don't drill down to the nuts and bolts of how a new, often upending policy should play out.   If they don't carefully think out potential unintended consequences, and try to mitigate those before they implement wide-sweeping change, they end up hurting marginalized communities the most.   And historically, those have been African Americans more than anyone else.

For example, it's important to build a governmental response infrastructure to non-criminal social disorder.   Like mental health teams that respond without police.   But removing police before these new programs show results is just dumb.  And catering to the progressive ACAB crowd.    People get hurt in the ensuing chaos.    Leaders need to be smarter and less narcissistic about what "programs" they can attach their names to. [/quote]
What is missing from a lot of these “progressive” public safety, criminal justice and policing reforms is a victim centered approach. Black people are disproportionately the victims of crime. Reducing the ability of Black crime victims to be protected from and obtain justice from the system does not further equity goals.

[b]I would also add that is white progressives listen to Black communities, what they would learn is that they really want is better policing. Better response times. Higher solve rates. More respect and compassion from officers to victims and citizens. In effect, a policing approach that differentiates criminals from victims and citizens and does not treat all Black people as a criminal or a prospective criminal.[/b] Instead of better policing, progressives offer less policing, lower criminal penalties and replace officer training and recruitment with technology. It is tone deaf and offensive that is is hard to get assistance from police while there is a “shot spotter” sitting on the corner.[/quote]
