Because, Agip, YOU never talk about the crime problem in the black communities on this thread. Neither do the rest of the Dems/Libs here. You guys start talking about the crime problem in black communities, THEN we will say you are acknowledging the problem.
The people that bring it up the most care the least about it. They’ve admitted as much. They just like it because they feel like it’s a winning talking point. I’ve acknowledged crime statistics plenty of times. I think it’s a problem. Posting “12 dead in Chicago this weekend” is not an attempt to fix the problem. It’s essentially gloating.

In my experience, virtually no white people are Asian.
...Well, except white people *born* in Asia, like most Middle Easterners (Israelis included) and many Siberians. But I digress.

Define "white person."

Demented Joe compares his small kitchen fire to Maui victims. This guy was always an ass hat, but only gets worse with age.

He's getting better. At least he didn't say his son Beau died in that small kitchen fire.

The guy gets weirder by the day. I am sure he has a strong desire to hold on to power, cover his crimes. But the reasons for getting him out are growing.

Exactly. the right wingers have no interest in solving any of their Hottest Gotcha issues. Instead they like one sentence soundbites for Cable news for very complex problems that appeal to the mouth breathers. They know their solutions don't work but they don't care if they don't work. All they care about is retaining power and these issues are their go to topics to agitate their base and cause division that they need. And most importantly to frame their opposition as failures and blame them for societies ills.
As an example:
Inner city gang violence by minorities is not a quick fix. It is just a fact. And no, "lock them all up" does not work. But that is the right wing solution. Simplistic and also useless.
Legal and illegal immigration needs a comprehensive immigration policy overhaul from top to bottom for the country. But right wingers have no desire to work across the aisle to get that done. If they did, they would lose their "Dems want open borders" trope. And DeSantis would have nothing to say from behind the podium when asked questions.
The right wingers are not honest brokers about solving anything. I used to be a right winger that believed all this bunk. Show me a policy that right wingers have rolled out that have improved any of their hotbed issues over the last 15 years.

Lock them up does not work? Really? You don't think letting violent gangbangers sit in a jail cell is better than just immediately releasing them so they can go back to committing violent crimes? You really just want to immediately release them? Wow.

So Democrats want to defund the police and immediately release violent gangbangers. Sounds like a winning combination.

Seriously, people who want to talk politics on message boards should learn about this website called google. This took 45 seconds.
A third Black woman has been arrested and charged for making “anti-White” statements in connection with the beating of a White woman in New York, according to Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz.
Jahnaiya Williams, 19, was charged with assault as a hate crime and faces other charges, a news release from Katz’s office said. Williams was arraigned Monday in Queens and is expected to appear in court Friday.a 25-year-old black man named Gregory Alfred allegedly assaulted a white woman while she was walking in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Ditmas Park. Like a vision out of New York at its worst, reports say that Alfred's face was covered in an American flag bandana when he slashed 53-year-old Janina Popko across the back of her neck. Yesterday, the New York Daily News confirmed that Alfred has been charged with multiple counts of assault and attempted murder as a hate crime. The publication reports that Alfred confessed to the crime after his mother turned him in to the police.
I didn't say that in the entire country it never happened. I said I have never read cases of it. White hate crimes toward blacks are generally much much bigger national news. The reverse situation is somewhat buried. And interestingly the examples you gave were hate crimes against white females.
You had to google to find it.

I would agree with this. They are both horrible people and terrible presidents. I seriously doubt Biden will run again - there are too many signs he won't. Even the radically left (is that redundant?) The Atlantic says he is too old and he should not run again.
