What's this?

LOL! The very first one shows black and hispanic labor rates going up

Isn't saying "Black Lives Matter" similar to "Don't Kill Puppies"? -- DexterLake 07/15/2020 12:51PM

That's the point. They are asking why Black Lives Don't Matter to some. -- Blah 07/15/2020 1:57PM

Normally one has to go to a KKK, or trump, rally to hear such insight. ** -- 111Balz 07/15/2020 1:46PM

Why would you say that? And please show your work. ** -- Hoodafan 07/15/2020 1:54PM

I'm betting you've joined in on a "no terroni" chant at a soccer match or -- WahooRQ 07/15/2020 2:36PM

That’s the kind of opinion of the BLM movement that I would expect to find -- 111Balz 07/15/2020 2:14PM

Why would you say that? And please show your work this time. ** -- Hoodafan 07/15/2020 2:58PM

That's not quite it -- Hoodeac 07/15/2020 1:20PM

Sorry, but that's kind of naive. It isn't about flipping a switch. Also -- HoosWillWin 07/15/2020 1:32PM

I think you are the one that is naive. So I guess that impasses us. LOL ** -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:35PM

Possibly because there is nothing to solve. ** -- Hokieesith 07/15/2020 1:16PM

I think that is a fair view, and to @jdubforwahoowa question -- VaTechie 07/15/2020 1:53PM

Is that systemic racism or truth in hiring procedures? ** -- jdubforwahoowa 07/15/2020 1:21PM

Save the whales? ** -- HAZER 07/15/2020 1:25PM

A response of "All sea creatures matter" would be pretty absurd response -- WahooRQ 07/15/2020 2:59PM

Definitely some truth to that. ** -- HAZER 07/15/2020 3:17PM

Here is the issue, though. -- HAZER 07/15/2020 4:54PM

He'd better be careful condemning the Confederacy like that. ;) ** -- Seattle .Hoo 07/15/2020 1:10PM
