    I am not an American, but do people really believe a corrupted political system with huge ammounts of lobbying can be changed without riots/violence etc.?

    the public healthcare system is a mess
    the social institutions are a mess
    the juristic-system is a mess
    the president is a mess
    the school-system is a mess

    at least you have a good army *thumbs up*

    Rioting started before people died through protesting. People are also dying who have no involvement in any of this, innocent people being killed by looters. Check your facts.

    Shit you're right, I looked. Racism was officially done away with back in 1984..

    Holy shit I never knew!!!

    Rioting started before people died through protesting.
    Protesting started after people died from police neglect/brutality.

    Please, please tell me you're going to cite MLK Jr. and Gandhi, basically the main two examples of non-violent protest, and completely ignore the violent civil unrest surrounding them that very much contributed to the change that occurred during those time periods.

    Captain Leg Beard has this shit all figured out. If everyone just did whatever he wanted, shit would be fine though. Apparently.

    Yes i do. Change has been happening gradually and protests are different than riots. You can actively lead protests for change and succeed in that change. Riots and looting create more victims filled with anger. Why don't they vote and get the people out of power that are lobbying, we are just upon an election month. I can't fathom how this many people are actively supporting rioting, it honestly fills me with disgust.

    There is no other way, you aren't abolishing the police because its impossible. If you think rioting is somehow going to force the abolishment of the police or any change, you're an idiot plain and simple. No option is going to be instant, they are all over time.
    How long do you expect reform to happen using these tactics that have been in effect already?

    Someone protested saying "I can't breathe" and had his neck crushed. Check YOUR facts.

    Just ask our buddy Draylo here. He thinks you can by sitting down and having a nice chat, as evidenced by history showing this.


    History of Peaceful protesting before we solved Racism

    How about we play the uno reverse card.

    What do you all want to change via this violence and rioting? Do you think that it will just continue, the bodies will pile up and out of bullying the entire government is going to abolish the police or instantly reform them? I'm curious on your viewpoints.

    I mean, the fact that he said we solved racism diplomatically and we should read history should really shine a light on the big brain we got here. I mean, that's some Guartz level posting.

    as history has shown time and time again, you just elect one good smart guy and the rest solves itself. look at tsarist russia! they just held an election and bam! lenin was the president of communism. the old guard was vanquished and gave a dignified concession speech and everyone just agreed that everything was good has been ever since

    Yes. Entire police departments need to be dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up. Any police department that was "trained" with an "us vs them" mentality needs to be entirely redone.

    Never once said we solved racism. You said change never was brought about unless there was violent rioting, and I disagreed and instructed you to read a book. I stick by that.
