    Jim Acosta is a toolbox. He is not looking to inform, he's looking to create propaganda adverse to The President.

    Okay. Pretty simple to respond to. At the date of the Acosta Tweet referred to in the OP, the nasty was called the 'Wuhan' nasty. It was not until February 11, that it was renamed Covid-19.

    This is a bullshit Thread.

    This is so typical of the right wing media. What a load of fake news.
    Covid19 was the name given by the WHO in february.
    The tweet is from january.
    The right wing fake news article is from march.


    We can all look it up.
    GOP are just deflecting away from doing a poor job on this.
    Poor job. Obama did a much better when he was president.
    Donald is making the US loser nr 1 of the world. MAGA.

    Neah. That's not entirely true even. Cops tends to focus on the black community. It's known that white people do and deal about as much drugs as black people. White people OD because of drugs a lot more. The % of the white/black that gets arrested over drugs does not reflect that one bit. Black people tend to get pulled over far more often. White people have a higher % of having some arrestable offense when pulled over. But when it gets dark... the % of black people pulled over decreases, because apparently cops can't see that well if there is a driving while black thing going on.

    And this gets worse. It's a fact that when white and black people got the same criminal background, that black people are being sentenced longer. Black people also don't get parole that fast as white people. And that proves, that all the way in the law and justice department that is predominantly white, that black people are treated harsher at every turn. And so that reflects in "committed more crime".

    It has to do with the Arians and Jews having their apartheid state take away in the 1960's, where it was legally ok to be like that. The laws vanished. The culture is still there, maybe partially, but it's there and it shows. And I add... suddenly that is being ranted as racist to say. But that is the truth.

    There are many assertions of fact there, and not one link to back any of it up.

    US is predicting that this Truflu is costing 100,000 tot 240,000 lives. Obama had like 12k or something. Obama even suggested things to be closed like schools, where Trump suggested everything to remain open as long as possible. With that, Trump did all he could to make that virus spread.

    VI. Conclusion Using rich new linked data that allow us to address the sample selection problems and other limitations that have pervaded prior research, this paper provides robust evidence that black male federal arrestees ultimately face longer prison terms than whites arrested for the same offenses with the same prior records.

    There is also nothing new about this. This has been researched over and over. Also, the predominantly white law and order department does nothing against this institutionalized racism. Absolutely nothing. And I add, I don't believe this institutionalized racism is only to be found in the law and justice department. That's probably the place where it's to be found the least.

    That's a completely different approach form Donald, who on the 9th of march was still tweeting that nothing closes down for the flu when it kills up to 70,000 people while Corona (at that time) killed 22. He was spreading fake news by completely downplaying how deadly the disease is to the US public. Donald encouraged everybody to go about your business. That undoubtedly made the virus spread all over, killing people all over. And when Donald felt like that, he undoubtedly did nothing to prepare the country for what's coming. And the US predicted the results. It's just a massive carnage. Donald is to blame for it. He's at the helm.

    Good post, but I wouldn't talk about backing up assertions if I were you. You call think that it's a FACT that naming a virus after where it's from is RACIST! :roflol:

    Donald indeed promoted all the time that everything remains open.

    I've read a bit about the sort of drug related stuff above in the past and there seems to be a bit of truth to it. So okay, I'll change what I said: Some things are OBJECTIVELY true. For example, pointing out the plain and simple FACT that African American males commit the most violent crime.

    Are you getting this from the UNMICH link that you provided to @Bush Lawyer? I performed a word search for "dark" and no results were returned.

    How does it reflect who "committed more crime?" It surely only reflects who has longer sentences.

    Are you sure that it's not being "ranted" as 'anti-Semitic?'

    Oh pff. This is like... ah right. I admit cops are racist towards black people when it comes down to who they are going to arrest when it's a black person or not. But that's only about drugs. Violent crime is done by an other institution of cops who aren't racist at all. Right. lol

    Maybe use night instead.
    https://www.economist.com/graphic-d...-in-america-face-discrimination-by-the-police

    Other research shows what ethnicity does what amount of drugs.
    https://www.hamiltonproject.org/cha...y_race_rates_of_drug_related_criminal_justice

    Black people get arrested almost 2,7 times more often than white people, while they both do the crime at a roughly equal %.
    It's obvious why is to blame for the fact that black people are hunted down like this, and white people are getting off easy.

    Both Arians and Jews have the same skin color. They are both in the mix of historically being able to be 1st class citizens in the Jim Crow era that ended in the 1960's. And I note... you were fine with making racial accusations until it backfired to the Arians and Jews.

    The only racism is coming from the imagination of Lefties who view everything through a SJW lens. It's all they have and is so overused that the claims of racism from the boy who cried wolf are mostly ignored. There is zero proof that anyone not on the ultra far Right has blamed ethnic Chinese for the virus.

    Oh you got Trump calling it the Chinese virus, when everybody else used an other name. That's just adding an ethnicity to a deadly virus. We saw the reaction of plenty of people towards the ethnic Chinese community. Hence the ethnic Chinese community had a very hard time compared to others in San Francisco. Enter Pelosi. I don't recall Donald defending the ethnic American Chinese community. It is what it is. Racism is strong in the US. Get over it.

    Nancy is the representative of San Fran. Hence she was there.

    Can you think of any police action related to the crime of murder which targets black people disproportionately which
    leads to arrest? I think you'll find that there is no murder equivalent of pulling a driver over leading to a drug bust.

    Are you a subscriber to The Economist? It appears to be a subscriber only article, unless it is free for people in certain countries.

    What does any of this have to do with sentencing?

    Did I criticise you for what you said about Arians and Jews?
