[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spent time travelling this summer around the good old US of A. And man, was it depressing. Everyone in their own world, jobless or working too many jobs because one job doesn’t pay great. People cutting way back. A general apathy and hopelessness for the future. People now talking about AI taking jobs which is interesting because the blame used to be immigrants. The feeling that God has failed them and that we are still heading in the wrong direction. It will never be the same I guess. The reality of everything is in front of us. The blinders are off. And when I spoke with people it seemed that most people were just giving up. Anyone else traveling around and seeing or hearing any of this?[/quote]

I say this with kindness. I think youre hanging around some bad influences. The world is not this bleak. [/quote]
We have masked men breaking car windows and dragging people from their cars just because they have brown skin. I'm currently in Berlin and people are freaked the F out what is happening in the US. And, yes, before you start, they know they have their own brownshirts. But NOTHING compares to what is happening in DC. It's straight up fascism. If people don't see that, I don't know what to say. There is ZERO excuse for this.[/quote]

That isn't actually happening though. There are ICE raids to detain illegal immigrants. Their skin color isnt a factor. [/quote]

Yes it is happening.  There's a ton of evidence that there is racial profiling going on with the ICE raids.

Court Orders Against Profiling: A federal judge issued a restraining order in July barring ICE from conducting immigration arrests based solely on race, ethnicity, language, or occupation. This was in response to allegations that agents were targeting brown-skinned, Spanish-speaking individuals without reasonable suspicion.

Trojan Horse Raids in L.A.: Despite the court order, ICE agents conducted raids using rented trucks to lure day laborers at Home Depot locations. The agents spoke Spanish to attract workers, then arrested 16 people, mostly street vendors and laborers. Local officials, including L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, described the operation as the “essence of racial profiling”.

Supreme Court Appeal: The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to overturn the profiling ban, arguing that factors like speaking Spanish or working in construction can reasonably raise suspicion of undocumented status. Critics say this logic institutionalizes racial profiling.

Impact on U.S. Citizens: Reports show that even American citizens, including Native Americans and Puerto Ricans have been detained or questioned during these raids, raising further concerns about profiling based on appearance or language.

So yes, it is happening and there's a ton of evidence proving it.  [/quote]

Can you acknowledge that your original argument, that people are being arrested for not being white, is completely inaccurate? Of course profiling occurs. That is not the same thing as people being arrested FOR being non-white. [/quote]
I'm the OP about that. What the F is the differnece? I don't want to live in a country that has police check points and people with brown skin are being terrorize and Yes, pulled over then pull out of their cars because ICE needs to hit Steven Miller's quota.

Remember when Trump was going to go after the Bad Hombres? Wouldn't that call for a more strategic approach? Right now it's smash and grab as many brown people as they can.[/quote]

To me, there's a massive difference between arresting people for crimes and arresting people for skin color. I think most people see it that way, and support law enforcement when they arrest criminals. [/quote]
They are arresting brown people en masse. They are calling them "criminals" because they have overstayed their visa, which is not a "crime."[/quote]

That's not true. It's not even logistically possible. [/quote]
