Honestly, I'm convinced the black populace will get nowhere until we properly assess all of black culture and the economic problems. Yes, we're generally poorer, but we also have a cultural problem where we don't have nuclear families and people are growing up in an environment where the "gangsta life" is a glamorized. These are important.

In my district, we had a shooting a couple months ago where an argument broke out over dominoes at 2 in the morning and it ended with someone whipping out their gun and killing someone. In my neighborhood last month, I had a neighbor lose his life to gang violence. I had a friend who was incarcerated for a year and while he was in there, he basically acted as the resident therapist (he went all out with scented candles and other stuff) for both the COs and the other prison mates. The guys who were in there told him that they never had people to talk with them in such a way to sort out and articulate on their feelings.

My point is that we're going the wrong way with addressing black issues by going after cops. There's a lot of problems we can take control over in our own communities that will directly influence our interactions with the police.

That's racist. Cops are the problem, not gangs.

It didn't technically classify any specific race as three fifths a person. It just says that "all other persons" (not free people or untaxed Indians) will be recorded as three fifths a person for population purposes.

Obviously we all know what it really means, and it's sad because this dumb shit was only put in the Constitution to appease Southerners in the first place.

I can somewhat understand why certain people try to be respectful of their Confederate heritage. Plenty of decent (even honorable) Americans died as Confederate soldiers. Slaves who were forced into battle. Poor whites who didn't even own slaves but had to defend their lives/homes regardless.

With that said, I feel like these people that are "proud" of their Confederate heritage are missing a pretty important piece of the puzzle: their honorable Confederate ancestors wouldn't have lost their lives if the Confederacy was willing to give up slavery. These people should hate the Confederacy, not glorify it.

I mean, the fact that a noose had been hanging there since October is probably not something NASCAR wants to brag about.

It's a fucking pull rope with a loop tied at the bottom so its easier to grab. Clearly whoever tied it up like that didn't have any bad intentions.

I'm glad that this was a misunderstanding and that Bubba wasn't the victim of a hate crime, but this is also gonna fuel the fire for a lot of racists. It's sad too, because Bubba didn't have anything to do with it. It was a pit member that reported it.
