    Because the argument is, that if the perp was white, than the child would very very unlikely be scared of other white people, since she and her parents are white. He says so, and it does indeed makes plenty of sense. You must have seen the entire vid, and it's weird you're shunning/omitting the argument,.. to even be dishonest by not commenting on it. Explain yourself.

    The judge has a problem with racism,... and you are accusing him of being racist out of nowhere, or probably because he's black and has a problem with being discriminated.

    It wasn't directed to me...

    If it will never pass and most people do not want it why are the democrats campaigning on it then?

    It’s like they want to throw the election.

    Again.

    to win the primary but for them to win the primary these candidates have to track so far left to appear to its radical socialist base that it wont be possible to track back to the center to win a general election

    this is why you see candidates like Harris flip flop all over the place she says one thing for the radical socialist base then walks it back trying to creep back to the center

    White people were not given preferential treatment as Asians had similar rates as whites, as did Indians (native and ethnic), as did Pacific Islanders. You could definitely argue blacks and to a lesser extent Hispanics were disadvantaged but just saying white privilege is simply not true and many will immediately ignore any point you were trying to make with those two words.

    To your point, the victims were reimbursed from the discriminatory practices, do you think they should receive double reimbursement? Why should all people of a specific color benefit from the misery of others just because they share the same skin tone? Do you also feel they should be racially profiled by police because they share the same skin tone as a majority of offenders?

    A racist policy is a racist policy — we need to be trying to get rid of racism not enhancing it

    Rich parents, eh? I am a middle class working man. My household has only one income, mine. We were frugal, made good decisions, lived within our means, and paid for 4 years of education for my daughter at the University of Texas. (tuition, fees, room and board, $130K)

    It irritates me when people think it is just too hard for the middle class to send their kids to college without taking loans. Honestly, the real problem for the middle class is the less-than-frugal decisions they make in their lifetimes. If your kid's education and future is important, then sacrifice, be frugal, and save.

    So... let me rephrase what you said:

    It's a burden to whites and blacks alike.. unless they have parents who care enough for their kids education to make the sacrifices necessary that can foot the bill for them.

    Rich parents indeed. Makes me sick to my stomach when I realize how foolish and entitled my contemporaries are.

    Dude... really....
    It's a fact that it happened. Probably still happens.
    There is no arguing over it.

    The Bank of America paid a 335 million fine, for the wrong between 2004 and 2008. The apartheid way of the US was banned in the late 1960's. You really are going claim between the end of the 1960's and 2004... nothing happened? We both know that is just extremely unlikely. So cut the BS. And it seems obvious that now the jig is up,... it's pay-day.

    Not as easy for black people in the US to safe money,... when the banks discriminated them out of their money for decades on end. Heck, the government itself was in on it, discriminating black farmers. The government paid over a billion in fines eventually. But that doesn't make their kids go to college anymore.

    The sad thing is that you probably really believe what you just wrote. Dude, the black Herndon Family in Atlanta built up a great fortune and built a mansion that still stands and is on the National Historic Registry.........and that was around the turn of the century. Nobody in my family has ever had a mansion like theirs.........

    Sure seems easy for certain segments of their race to steal money though. Right here in my back yard, a mob of a dozen robbed a store for 30 large.

    I agree it happened.
    Was it wrong then, yes.

    Is it still happening?
    That’s hypothetical but if it is I hope the lending institution is sued if the only reason is the applicants race — most of your recent reports are not due to race though they are due to other factors which may have affected blacks more due to credit or income reasonings.

    And they reimbursed those affected.
    Should they receive a second set of reimbursements simply because of the color of their skin?

    So reparations supporters want money for slavery (the first slave owner was a black man), they want reparations for being denied loans due to having bad credit, they want reparations because Jim Crow, they want reparations because of higher arrest rates, they want reparations for fatal police encounters even when it’s the black person that’s the cause ... the list is never ending.

    I definitely agree we need a systematic approach to make sure racial discrimination is ended today and going forward — and will vote for candidates supporting meaningful action — but I will not support direct cash payments to any group just because of their inclusion of said group irregardless of their actual suffering, I will will vote against those candidates every time.

    As will the majority of Americans. All these proposals do is cause the democratic candidate to lose.
    And then we get trump. Again.

    You can either choose to move forward or live in the past.

    Where is it even authorized in the Constitution??

    As a Democrat, I assume you don't believe in a republican form of government??

    Oh my God I'm loving this huge dimocrat field. They're just jumping over each other to prove to the base they're the farthest left. The amount of ammo Trump is going to have to use on them in unreal.

    not sure what your asking, I do not think any law should be based on the race of the person

    I am a democrat, have also been republican in the past, I do support some republicans policies, some I do not

    as did I for my children, but not all parents are as able as you and I

    there are many reasons not all middle class parents can afford college for their children, get off your high horse

    "It's a burden to whites and blacks alike"

    that is what I said? .. unless the parents are so rich it's not such a burden

    I agree with what you said, but I went to Texas. It's a state school, and a four year degree still runs less than $50k total. What the hell kind of apartment did you rent her?

    you just lost all credibility with me siding with the judge.... that judges actions were racist, can not believe you are defending that.... wow

    unlike some, I call out both sides for racism.....

    by your logic any black child that fears white people because of an attack by a white person during a home evasion of the black childs home - means the white perp should get off with a hand slap and the black family should be scolded by the judge? <--- do you see how ridiculous that sounds

    the parents were not racists, it was the white parents black friends that scared the child after that home evasion, that is a traumatic event for a child

    "Whenever we are running errands, if we come across a black male, she holds me tight and begs me to leave," the mother said. "It has affected her friendships at school and our relationships with African-American friends."""

    that is sad and the judge should of scolded this man for doing this to a child

    It is still all about personal choices. I have a niece (raised by liberals) who recently wrote a screed on FB about her student loan debt and how it will never be paid off....well, she borrowed and got a teaching degree. I am proud of her accomplishments. She lived at home while attending school -- good choice. After graduating, she moved to South Korea and taught English to Korean students for two years. How exciting, and a unique and rewarding experience. Good personal fulfillment choice perhaps, bad financial choice as it didn't pay much and resulted in student loan deferrment. Back in US since February, working as teaching aid until she can find a permanent position (but only wants to teach in a certain district). Chose to move out of parents' home and live with boyfriend, i.e. higher expenses, therefore now on income based student loan repayment plan and only paying a little over a hundred dollars a month, and is just SHOCKED at her new amortization table for the student loan and how long it will take to repay and thinks Bernie Sanders walks on water. Well, duh. SMDH. How can you graduate from college and not understand loan terms and repayment plans???? Why should anyone else be on the hook to pay for her degree, 2 years in Korea, etc?

    I have 3 kids who had or still have student loans. We helped, but they did borrow some. Nurse Practitioner who worked all thru school, only borrowed for Masters. Registered Nurse who goofed around late teens early 20s and finally got his degree in his mid-20s. Has more loans because he didn't get serious until he matured a bit. Still hasn't stopped either of them from buying nice homes, getting married, each has 2 kids. Last kid borrowed for his degree, still lives at home at 26 because he's putting his money from working towards paying off the loans. He pays us a nominal rent and does things around the house. NONE of them thinks anyone else should be paying their student loans off for them, and all understand they could have made different choices and owed less money.
