I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

Woman: "Hi 911, I have a guy with a knife in my house right now trying to rape me"...
911: "Ok i can help with that, would you like the number to a place you can go and shoot up some heroin?"
Woman: "Ummm, no, I dont think that will help, I have a guy here trying to rape me with a knife"...
911: "Ohhh, ok, well best I can do is you just sit there and let him rape you, then afterwards I will give you a number to a PP officer where you can get an abortion!"
Woman: "Umm.. cant you send someone over with a gun or something to help protect me"
911: "Sorry we dont do that anymore, we defunded that department. But good news is the rapist will at least get some needed therapy when he is done raping you, so no worries"

@awl yup.. americans arent really critical thinkers anymore. Pretty much I expected the left to cheer on anything that came out ofBLM no matter how asinine.
Dont get me wrong I have nothing against BLM's message of "blacks are suffering, help us".. but as a strongly left leaning organizations that have all the failings of anyone on the extream end of the politicl spectrum. Namely group think, complete inability to accept messages outside of their own agenda and talking points, and overly simplistic "solutions" that get us no where.

Potentially noteworthy survey data about #police. Headline is a little misleading as headlines after are. Equal percentages are somewhat satisfied or satisfied, presumably in contrast to somewhat dissatisfied or dissatisfied.

Monmouth University Poll shows Blacks and Whites equally satisfied with their local police departments, black satisfaction up dramatically among blacks - Crime Prevention Research Center
You would never know if from the #media, but over the last five years black satisfaction with their local police departments has soared from 50% being at least somewhat satisfied in 2015 to 72% now. The rate for other minorities has also gone up slightly from 65% to 68%. While the rate for whites has …

re: Dear black parents...
@realcaseyrollins instilling fear into kids makes them much more likely to be victims. teach kids to be brave and to know wrong from right. that's the greatest thing you can do.

Dear black parents...
Stop telling your kids they're gonna die cuz they're black and making them cry so you can make a video to put on social media for social justice warrior points.
That's emotional abuse.
Thank you.
This does not match the narrative.
Rasmussen: Black Voter Approval for Trump Has Surged to Over 40 Percent
Whoah. really?
"Unemployment dropped to 13.3% in May as the economy added 2.5 million jobs...Black employment rose by 283,000."
President #Trump claimed vindication Friday as a surprise positive #jobs report previewed what he called the “greatest comeback in American history” for a coronavirus-crippled economy — and perhaps for his own reelection campaign.

> I don't toe the political line just because Massa Democrat says so.
I'm not a Democrat, nor am I a Republican. I don't think it was a good move for most Blacks to wed a party.
> It may be odd to see a black man defending the rights of whites, but that's just because I think their lives matter as much as the lives of black people like me. We should not be treated different or special because of our skin color.
In that part, you're preaching to the choir. I have criticized the leaders of Black orgs when they don't cry out when someone in another ethnic group is persecuted or attacked by Blacks. (Gotten lots of "Oreo" and similar replies, too.)
But we don't get to "not treated differently" by pretending it isn't happening. You have to acknowledge the behavior that you want to change, because those who are behaving that way often won't change without pressure.

A higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It was Republicans whose “Philadelphia Plan” in the 1970s sought to break the construction unions' racial barriers that kept blacks out of skilled trades. https://twitter.com/ThomasSowell/status/1268886189731467268

More of the wisdom we need right now from the late great Martin Luther King Jr.
#Trump holds awkward photo opp with many others in front of an #episcopal church sign that says All Are Welcome.
Liberal Bishop responds by declaring THEY'RE not welcome and is upset they were on sidewalk near #church without her permission.
All are welcome.
