There is no structural racism. That’s a made up term that means nothing. Go back to the drawing board on your argument please. At some point you may actually make sense.


Google FHA and FDR housing policies in the 30s and 40s. Educate yourself.


What do housing policies in the 30’s and 40’s have to to do with the 2000’s?


Just google "how redlinging affects us today" pick with resource you like, educate yourself.


You don't even need to go back that far. Look at how the "War on Drugs" was set up to drive massive inequalities. This was the 1990s-now.

You really have to either have your head in the sand or be a devout follower of Mein Kampf to deny structural racism. There's so much information out there that you have no excuse for not starting to learn.


Well meaning white politicians responding to the crack baby crisis in 1980s black neighborhoods. Disparate punishments were not intended to be racist, they were intended to acknowledge the disparate addiction and physical harm from crack vs. powder. But that doesn't mean that black men were forced to deal crack.


I think we need to get over intent. It's nice that intentions are good. But if the impact is disparate then we're doing something/ have been doing something wrong.

I remember when DC was nicknamed "Murder One" and crack destroyed lives and communities. The locking up stopped a bloodbath--do you not recall that? I have supported legalization and treatment, but I also understand where the war on drugs and sentences for crack (immediately addictive) were coming from. PCP, Boat , bath salts, meth, opiates, heroin--these are all bad news. Again, FOR treatment and decirminalization--but it's hard to get warm and fuzzy around the crack outbreak in the 90s as it was an unprecedented emergency situation. Everyone was freaked out about it.


No one is asking for doing nothing. If those well meaning politicians actually cared about those black lives then they would have treated most cases as a public health issue. Not felony/jail/ruined lives. Just because it allegedly want their intent doesn't mean the impact was disproportionate and unwarranted. There's a lot of opportunity and wealth stolen by the choice to be tough on crime rather than smart.

Will these protestors face charges? 8 year old Secoria Turner in Atlanta is dead from similar, misguided mayhem. How is an unwitting pedestrian or driver surrounded by such mayhem and aggression supposed to react as people shout in their face, trip them or bang on their car etc.? Since the protestors orchestrating this violence identified themselves on video and twitter, will they face appropriate charges?

You gotta just go another way. And listen, it sucks. I recently spent 45 min trapped on NY ave because of some sort of skateboard protest in the 3rd st tunnel. But that doesn’t mean I would have been justified to plow through people with my car. You can argue in the appropriate public forum about when and how police should close or clear roads during protests but you can’t decide to drive through people if they’re blocking you. Pedestrians have the right of way even when they’re blocking the road and inconveniencing you.


Nope. The nature of protest is you get a permit. I have protested many times, with a permit. If you dont get a permit and block people going about their business, you are a jerk.


Even if you get a permit you may be a jerk to some people. I don't really like the road races that get permits and legally tie up access around town. But that's my problem, not theirs.

Either way, unless you're MPD you don't get to decide what to do about it.


Except for a march, most permitted demonstrations would not be permitted to block roads. You would be in a park or asked to keep moving on a sidewalk. Blocking roads is a jerk move, and illegal. A lot of people with a lot of causes live in and visit DC. If everyone protested unpermitted it would wreak havoc on daily life when it resumes its flow.

It’s like the satire account Titania McCrath is mainstream.

Sometimes it’s just too much to handle.


Well, before you head to the polls, don't forget about the Trump voter who actually ran over a crowd on purpose and killed a woman.


If you're talking about the Seattle incident, she was yet another of the lovely "protesters" who took it on herself to take over the street.


You need to actually read before commenting on things you know nothing about. That incident happened on a closed road and the road was not even closed for the protests - it had been closed for construction. The incovenienced driver drove the wrong way on an off ramp to get on the road (since the on-ramps were all blocked). Thankfully the driver was charged with murder.


The driver is a Black man and the people caused his arrest are White. Whose lives matter? The protestors in Portland who tried to destroy the fed building are white people. In Seattle CHOP, two black teens were shot by white occupiers.
