That's one issue, the other issue is where the fuck have all these "activists" been on other issues that plague the inner cities?

Are the protests/riots politically motivated, or are they issue motivated?
I'll bite ... Poverty is IMO the biggest issue. You could eliminate racism and unnecessary police violence tomorrow and the lives of poor minorities would improve slightly. If you reduce poverty, many people's lives would improve greatly.DuckDuckGriz wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 9:21 amLike what issues, for example?
Genuinely curious on what your response is - not that there aren't other fundamental issues.
I would say this would be the #1 topic in a city like Portland in any given year. Well, homelessness specifically not economic disparity which may be what you mean, too.UNI88 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 9:30 amI'll bite ... Poverty is IMO the biggest issue.

Could be the same stunt they pulled in Philly last week. Advertised a rally but it was a fake. All the Antifa people showed up to counter protest and they fought each other instead.DuckDuckGriz wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 2:28 pm Portland is going to be a mess on Saturday.

The Proud Boys are planning on coming in from Vancouver to rally in Delta Park.
They submitted an application for 10,000 attendees - which was of course denied on the grounds of COVID requirements, but that 10k was just a number thrown out to grab a headline imo. It will really be max 800-2,000 (per the Patriot Prayer quote in the below article).
YES, the BLM protests have been hijacked and the city's response to it has been inept. Let's get that outta the way.
But this is provocation at its finest. Delta Park is one of black historical significance. Why there?
Why throw out a number like 10,000 - and then (successfully) pull in a headline like this if not to provoke and invite counter-protestors?
My only hope is that this is ignored, which ain't gonna happen.
Remember this context when Portland is once again portrayed in the media this weekend as out of control. Both sides are exploiting a city that's done with this shit.

I will be avoiding Delta Park this weekend and I'm glad I didn't buy that floating home in the northwest corner of Kenton.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/ ... dSRWHNoNsEIn other remarks ahead of the day, Melchi draws on what he claims is his group’s history of traveling to multiple states to engage in violence at protests.
“My Group 1776 2.0. Has been fighting Antifa in Seattle, Portland, for months”, Melchi writes, adding “this won’t be a simple fist fight. People will get shot, stabbed and beat.”
He also claims police cooperation in interstate violence, writing “Yes, going after them at night is the solution… Like we do in other states, tactical ambushes at night while backing up the police are key. You get the leaders and the violent ones and the police are happy to shut their mouths and cameras.”

We've been relatively fine all things considered.
But your original point is correct- this is the real deal and will happen.

Let's go with an easy one and start with gangs and drugs. Where were the nation-wide marches claiming "black lives matter" for all the folks caught in the crossfire of the thugs involved in pushing drugs in their local communities? Then there is the plight brought on by those communities that have to deal with that shit.DuckDuckGriz wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 9:21 am

We can even go a few layers deeper and talk about what policies led to people having to result/consider engaging in such crime to begin with. What policies led to inner city working class neighborhoods to have so little hope to begin with?
Then a tangential discussion can be held on the idea that most of these "activists" wouldn't likely denigrate themselves with being involved in a skilled trade that could offer some hope of a way out, but rather encourage attending college to get some liberal arts degree so they too can become an "activist".

Yep. A ‘genuine’ BLM protestor is backing an admittedly Marxist, anti police, organization that completely ignores the elephant in the room (black on black crime).89Hen wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 6:29 amTheir desire for reparations and a redistribution of wealth.DuckDuckGriz wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 12:12 am What do you think that a genuine BLM protestor is drawing attention to?

So, do you think that "Black Lives Matter" is mutually exclusive to the following?:
1. A disproportionate rate of incarcerations for drug offenses, which you mentioned - such as marijuana & crack cocaine (I understand in part perpetuated by the 1994 Crime Bill).
2. Your second paragraph - economic disparity. Paragraphs 1 and 2 are certainly related.
3. The third paragraph doesn't make sense to me. People in these communities are choosing to go to college vs get into a skilled trade? What? Wouldn't that freedom of choice contradict your second paragraph?
