LOL this is a discussion? I agree we should spend more on the environment by fixing the entitlements. I am still not voting Blue and any Jew who does is a traitor.
It is until you admit that Trump has failed the USA in terms of climate change.
Can we let him serve his full 4 yrs before judging? LoL?
You certainly didn't say the same about Clinton or Obama, but OK. He is currently, at this moment, not doing enough. Agreed?
I was your age (younger) and I voted for WJC. Obama was there for 8 years. You want to judge DJT after 500 days. Illogical.
yeah, and we know that no Republicans judged Clinton or Obama i=until they were out of office.
I am speaking for myself. I certainly did not.
I guess we have to take your word for it since we have no way of actually knowing that. On the other hand you're willing to judge every Democrat based on a few idiots waving a flag the convention.

OK, so no commenting on how Trump is a good President, or better than Obama, or about the economy, etc. Great.
Impossible to judge after such a short period. You can only state that he is more business friendly than Obama based on his overt statements and policies (tax cuts, regulations removal). Whether that makes him "better" is TBD.

well, you have repeatedly said that Trump has made some good moves in the areas that are important to you and that Obama did not make many moves you approved of. That sounds like judging to me.

A white couple whose black babysitter was followed by a white woman and questioned by police said they were in disbelief about the incident.

David Parker and Dana Mango of suburban Atlanta told "Good Morning America" on Wednesday that an officer called them Sunday to verify that Corey Lewis, the family's longtime friend and babysitter, had been given permission to care for their children that day.

“We were at dinner, and I saw that Mr. Lewis had called," Mango said. "I called back and a police officer answered the phone. The police officer was trying to explain that he was there with my kids and that they were OK, but he wanted to confirm that I had given permission to Mr. Lewis to be with them."

“It truly took me several minutes to believe that it was real. I was just in a state of disbelief,” Mango said.

The saga began when Lewis was out with the family's 6- and 10-year-old children on Sunday, and an unidentified white woman approached them in a Walmart parking lot.

"She pulled up to my vehicle and asked if the kids were all right," said Lewis, who joined Parker and Mango toward the end of the "GMA" interview. "I responded with, 'Why wouldn't they be?'"

"She then said, 'Things look weird,' and then she drove off," Lewis said. After he left, he said he realized that she was following them.

After Lewis and the children arrived home, a police officer came in response to the woman's call to 911. That was when the officer called Parker and Mango.

“The officer was actually apologetic," Mango told "GMA". "I think he was embarrassed. He saw what was happening pretty quickly, and after he spoke to me and confirmed that everything was all right, he let them go.”

The mother said her children, Addison and Nicholas, were frightened for Lewis when the officer questioned him.

“They said they were scared that they would say the wrong thing and cause him to get arrested,” Mango said, adding that her children love Lewis like a member of the family.

After this ordeal on Sunday night the first thing the kids asked was, ‘When can he come babysit us again,'" Mango said.

She said Lewis has for two years picked up her son from school every day and babysat until the parents are off work. Lewis "had to go to a wedding for a week, and every day Nicholas asked when he was coming back," Mango said.

RACIST Taint naturally assumes it was because of skin color. Maybe the accusing woman was drunk or nuts. Maybe the babysitter looked drunk or nuts. Maybe he said or did something innocent that was misinterpreted. Nobody other than the accusing woman knows, but only a true RACIST jumps directly to that being the reason. Not everything in this Country (or World) is about race, and the less people keep trying to make it seem like it is, the faster racism will ebb. We all know the story about the little boy who cried "WOLF" too often right? Same effect with people like Taint screaming "RACISM" at anything and everything.

The effect of the little boy who cried wolf isn't more wolves, just like the effect of Taint pointing out examples of white privilege isn't causing more racism. The effect would be you ignoring him. Unfortunately, you had already decided you were going to ignore him before he posted.
10/11/2018 9:00 AM
Same argument you keep losing over-and-over in threads. Where is the PROOF the woman was racially-motivated? Maybe she was, but nobody other than her knows (unless she told someone else). Taint certainly doesn't know, nor do you or I. Since nobody knows, nobody should be assuming they do and making accusations of any kind, let alone ones that drive our society apart.
10/11/2018 9:21 AM
I don't have an argument against that, I was arguing against you calling Taint a racist and talking about the boy who cried wolf.
10/11/2018 9:44 AM
LOL. In fact LMAO. Talk about defending and denial.

Gee, what COULD have been her motivation? As All3 points out She could have been drunk (or on drugs), or just nuts (to have suspicions about a BLACK man supervising 2 white children), OR????

She COULD be a racist. Definitely as probable as the conjecture that She is nuts, or drunk.
Taint isn't a racist for posting a Story about a (possible) racist.

You (on the OTHER hand) just revealed yourself to be bereft of common sense and DESPERATE to defend the indefensible GOP.

That Grand (cough cough) OLD (Yep! and white!) Party.

Tang and bad luck already admitted there is no white privilege. What they are really pounding the table on is that being black is a disadvantage. Being white is not an advantage over being Asian for example.

Not what I said.

10/11/2018 1:02 PM
Sure it is. You don't believe that Asian's are at a disadvantage, captain stats because they actually earn more than whites. Doesn't fit your leftist narrative. So you changed it to black disadvantage. I am not going back to all the prior posts but that was pretty much the conclusion.
10/11/2018 1:32 PM
No, I re-framed the specific argument as black disadvantage because you were willing to acknowledge that as opposed to white privilege.
10/11/2018 1:48 PM
So you believe Asians have a disadvantage? Jews have a disadvantage? Do tell.
10/11/2018 1:52 PM
Sorry bob, but I firmly believe people who feel the need to interject race (or gender or age or anything else) into a situation where race (or whatever) is not proven to be a factor, are indeed racists. You and everyone else are certainly entitled to your OPINION.
10/11/2018 3:23 PM
That's fair IMO. But you gotta admit, it sure APPEARS that her "attitude" towards black men MAY have been the root of the 911 call. It would certainly SEEM the most logical.

Likely WHY it became a "story", don't you think/speculate?

There ARE some (on here) that seem to deny that "black folks" are still mistreated by a (significant) share of our populace. MOST folks figure that's wrong and treat folks according to their ATTITUDE (well, at least I do) or maybe who's buying the drinks............ but there are some ******** in every color.

We brung the blacks here to work for us, gave em gainful employment, some would claim. OPPORTUNITY in a new world.
Kinda forced the opportunity on them, though. Hence their attitude.

But, that's all behind us now, right whitey?

Now, let's talk about the RED Man.
Subjugation for employment just weren't a happenin' smoothly. Them pesky savages didn't take to OPPORTUNITY so well............. they kept a running away, and raidin' and stealin' our cattle and mules and such.
There just weren't any FAIR way to steal them redskins land without rilin' 'em. Seemed they actually had LOVE and RESPECT for the Land they occupied.
They'd fight and die for it.
So, somebody figured the only decent way out of the mess was to just exterminate 'em,...... kill em all off. End of problem.

Of course, like always, there just HAD to be some (a FEW) pesky loudmouth LIBERALS around claiming them savages was people, HUMANS just like us, they claimed. Such nuisances. Such hubris. Reminding us of Morals and such like that when (Obviously) the only real manly solution was killing 'em, Hellsfire, most of them pesky loudmouth Liberals iz wimmin. They don't know nothin' bout nothin', specially about killing Injuns!
Make 'em shut up and bake cookies!

And then along comes the battle at the Little Big Horn.
Where false hubris and blind faith paid it's dividends.
And some "believers" stopped "believe-in'" and perished following a blind fool.
The Crow told him, the betrayin' fools, but He wouldn't listen.

His ears had become dead. Just things to hold up his hair. He needn't have worried about that!
I wasn't there, but a coyote told me that his great-great grandpappy told him that YellowHair was going bald.
