@gamer00 Has Offered Me 1000 Steem if I Can Post 1000 Stories About Racist Policing in the U.S.

Every case that I have posted has names, dates, and locations. Any moron can google search any of these stories and find what they are looking for.
You can keep clinging to the belief that it's impossible to find a measly thousand cases of proven racist misconduct by American police. I will post more than a thousand cases. I will make this a regular feature of my blog until I fucking die. You will continue to ignore, deny, and deflect. The longer it goes on, the worse you look for it. It's unfortunate that you now have an economic incentive to keep the blinders on, but I never really expected to pry your eyes open in the first place. There is a very clever propaganda machine that preys on people that fear and hate their neighbors. It seems that once they convince some poor fool that all their problems are caused by people with no money or power, no amount of evidence to the contrary will convince them otherwise.

Police misconduct, yes, but not white supremacy or racial prejudice. I bet you could find thousands of cases of police misconduct against white people as well but you are intellectually dishonest and you concentrate only on your own racist biases.

I wonder what "propaganda machine" you are talking about. The mass media?

It seems that once they convince some poor fool that all their problems are caused by people with no money or power, no amount of evidence to the contrary will convince them otherwise.

You keep indicating that I'm part of these "brainwashed" people who think all my problems are caused by poor people.

My problems are my problems, If I was poor once it was because of me, not because of "other poor people". How stupid do you think I am? I have never blamed poor people for myself being poor, stupid.

But to think that I should blame rich people for myself being poor would be any better, that my friend is simply stupid.

It seems to me that it's a lot more reasonable and intelligent to blame a shitty economy and a shrinking middle class on people who actually have power and control money. When you look at the motivations and dealings of the players involved, it becomes pretty obvious where the wealth is going. The people destroying the middle class want you to blame poor people.. They deflect the blame away from themselves. They blind you with hatred and xenophobia while they rob us all blind.

They blind you with hatred and xenophobia while they rob us all blind.

I find it funny. That you blame me for "blaming others" while you are doing exactly that.

Yes, I blame the great recession on people that have money, power, and control. It certainly makes a lot more sense than blaming it on people that have nothing.

That doesn't have a bearing on our discussion. No-one in this discussion is convinced they are better than "the colored man", unless you are.

And what does it have to do with any Trump supporters? That's confusing as hell, you are not making any sense here.

As far as I know, Trump has been a good choice for the poor and middle class. The unemployment figures have fallen and keep falling, job markets are healing, and markets are booming. What's there to whine about?

The discussion is concerning racist ideology infiltrating American law enforcement. Generalizing a group of people as dangerous criminals has consequences.
Trump supporters seem to think that illegal immigrants are to blame for America's problems. They were told that lie by a propaganda machine that distracts them with fear and blinds them with hate.
The great recession happened when George W. Bush gave tax cuts to the rich, started a very expensive war, and crashed our economy. The recovery happened during the Obama years. The growth we have seen over the last year is simply a continuation of the effects of policies enacted under the Obama Administration. Hopefully they built it back strong enough that even a buffoon like Trump can't wreck it. We'll see what the next few years look like.
This conversation is getting derailed. My original point was " I could post a thousand articles and videos of police misconduct by white supremacist officers, but you wouldn't read/watch them anyway. You avoid and dismiss all evidence that you know would shatter your claims." Obviously, that point has been thoroughly proven.

Generalizing a group of people as dangerous criminals has consequences.

Trump didn't generalize Mexicans of being dangerous criminals, he said most of the illegal immigrants from Mexico are. Now you do know what the different between an immigrant and an illegal immigrant is, right?

He wants the border closed, so people couldn't just jump over and cause trouble. I believe that goes both ways, Mexico probably doesn't want illegal immigrants coming from the US either. Are they racist too?

Great recession

Things are still going better than before, so as long as that's the way you are heading I don't think a buffoon can change it.

I could post a thousand articles and videos of police misconduct by white supremacist officers

Yea you probably could, but didn't.

Once again, you are re-writing Trump's words, and playing the "what he really meant to say was..." card. He didn't say illegal immigrants. He said, "when Mexico sends it's people..."

So you are now actually admitting that I could find a thousand articles and videos of police misconduct by white supremacist officers, but you still don't think we have a problem with racist policing in this country?
