    No, I have no clue, but that fine. I have seen enough race-baiting to last a life time.

    No, not according to your definition of "genocide." What you described as genocide IS tribal warfare.

    What's the point in viewing threads if you don't read the OP?

    So sorry I didn't go into all of the trivial details.

    He was an Old Timer. When I was hired he was off with with a bad back. I was shipped off to school in Atlanta for 10 weeks. It was great. Like being hired and sent off on a 2 months vacation.

    So I didn't meet Bob and see his beard until I got back. The funny thing is he was constantly being kidded about his beard. When I grew mine no comments.

    I think it quite funny and concerning that this 1 person wrote a story?
    And now some white person thinks, yet again, the entire white population is under attack.

    That is more troubling.

    I really don’t care if they’re offended by a white doll. I’m offended that if you walk into Walmart and look at all they hanging adds on the walls and ceiling you will be lucky to find one or two adds with white people… Then you look at everyone walking around and they’re all white. Why are we forced to look at a demographic that doesn’t represent us at all.

    walmart has stores all over the country, just cause your area is almost 100% white, doesn't mean they are gonna give your store different ads

    I presume you know that the story is satire written by a WP columnist?. Perhaps you think the writer did think that perhaps the doll appeared through alchemy and spells and the writer has a deep affinity for concrete while his wife has a deep affinity for waterfalls, forests and sand, yes he wrote sand? And the writer is serious when he says his 6 year old daughter is "already aware of the ceaseless cultural proselytization of Eurocentric beauty"? Oh, and the Geneva convention concerns themselves with pictures placed on a milk carton? And flash mob their daughter with 500 black dolls?. And finally the daughter just got bored with the doll or did either of the parents carry out a nefarious act which neither would admit to so as to not perjure themselves in court.

    Most all areas in America have far more whites than anything else

    Why did it make people upset that there was less adds with black people in them when all this started to begin with?

    at one time, today, a white guy walking in Oakland would get stomped to death. Or a white person near 3 black girls last week. Wait, how much time do I have…

    You’re kidding right? You have missed all the advocates for more diversity (i.e. less whites people) in adds? If you need a link for that I would be embarrassed

    oh, so are you saying the fight for equal rights and more diversity is why these ads are in that store, and that is why some are unhappy about it?

    seems a weird thing to be upset by - but I would agree with you

    True. Except what do you think the odds are for each version? 898578E9-4219-4257-B7DB-5A76101F6152.jpeg

    that is not what black lives matter is protesting

    they are protesting cops killing unarmed black people, comparing cops to murderers is not what we want, that is a very low bar

    that graph is a reminder of how much more dangerous it is to be white in a black area than black in a white area.
    That’s a fact.
    Fblm is protesting when armed blacks are killed by the cops. Even when it’s a perfectly legal shoot they still act like animals, that’s why no one respects them.
    If it was only the truly bad shootings of unarmed blacks they’d have some traction.

    yes, but we expect more of cops then we do of murderers

    much of the murders sadly is caused by gang violence... and that is funded by the war on drugs

    republicans attacking people for taking a knee, was not a good look for them

    yeah, we expect cops to be perfect and Monday am quarterbacking them done by people who know nothing of the job is everywhere, and often rules in favor of the pos.
    A lot of the murder is gang violence but 54% of all murders in the US are done by blacks, regardless of gang activity. Dems shooting republicans on baseball fields is no better than being attacked for taking a knee. Then again I don’t remember any physical violence for the knee bit.

    no, we just expect cops to not murder people, if they do, we expect other cops to then treat them like criminals, not just stand there and watch....

    And the cops rarely murder people, but explaining how they do their job to people with zero understanding of the job is like teaching my dogs to do math. Pretending to know how things work with no real knowledge is pretty funny.

    that doesn’t change the fact the 13% of the population is still committing more than 3x their numbers. Idiots like the author of this piece are making race relations worse, not better.

    we can’t buy their way out of their bad choices.
