Rather ironic when you consider that under most other circumstances the posters here are usually quite liberal. Now, however, when it comes to blacks being openly murdered by U.S. cops, you are suddenly ultra-conservative. One might say even white supremacists ?
I'll make no bones about it, I'm FAR from being socially liberal. As for schwartzers being killed by police while there is no doubt there are a few loose cannons there is no doubt that with the very real danger of being shot by someone belonging to a sector of the population with a firmly established propensity for crime and violence it makes perfect sense when if there is any - note ANY doubt - to shoot first and ask questions afterwards.
Now white supremacists.
Speaking for myself a absolutely reject that there is any superior race but I DO believe that in any given society there will always be one race that is top of the evolutionary tree FOR THAT SOCIETY.
The implication of that is that all races are not equal, a thing that I totally uphold.
I suggest that "The Ballad of East and West" by Rudyard Kipling would be worth reading for you. Especially the final verse :-
Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face though they come from the
ends of the earth!
