    If you don't live here then you don't have a clue about living here.

    I'm not hiding from anything. I am American born and raised, and have never seen anything like your video which is bizarre and probably staged. Religious washing of feet is one thing. But kissing feet or legs to show respect is nuts.

    Ahahaha ..... This is the only excuse available to you? But you understand - even if you hide your head in the sand, your butt still sticks out on the street.

    You have problems with logic. Where did you see Russian propaganda? This is US citizens kissing the legs of blacks. This American media wrote a study on how many whites support the US protest. Or do you think Putin owns YouTube and the American media?

    Hilarious that a paid loser Russian propogandist would talk about butt sticking out in the street. Nobody on this forum is so fired up ft@@rded that they don't realize what you are.

    On the bright side, I hear you are up for the golden rutabaga award, where the most deliriously focused Putin plant gets an extra root vegetable, practically doubling your net worth.

    No protests, no riots. Pretty simple.

    Protests absolutely. It's a fundamental right to be able to protest.

    Riotors no. I seriously doubt the hill made that distinction between the two.

    Dishonest poles don't make for much once you can pull them apart.

    That is an important distinction to make. I think people do lump them together I think it's just as much to justify the rioters is it is to contemn the protesters.

    So people should not exercise their freedom of speech because others want to jump in and create chaos and criminality?

    Racism in America is unique from that of most other countries because the oppressed were once held as slaves here, which means that certain specific emotional issues are part of the problems that both black and white Americans are dealing with. If you don't live here, sorry but you don't know what you're talking about.

    Beware of click bait.

    That video was produced by the Israelite school of Universal Practical knowledge, which is an offshoot of know hate groups.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israelite_School_of_Universal_Practical_Knowledge

    "The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the ISUPK a hate group, citing its "extremist" ideology and black supremacist rhetoric."

    Which brings us to:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_West_Camp

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israelite_Church_of_God_in_Jesus_Christ

    If these are your sources for information, that explains your nearly total lack of understanding of this issue.

    I can and I have impeded just that. Before retirement, I worked for several defense contractors, and part of my job was to mark documents that met the criteria for classification, and ensure that all were inaccessible to anyone without a clearance and a need to know.

    You're judging this issue from a foreign perspective and you're getting it wrong. If you believe that we are all followers, willing to do what others in our "clan" or family or group do, regardless of how we feel about it personally, then you are truly clueless about Americans.

    Is this what you're talking about?

    https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.or...n,covered topics such as border security and

    Odd that you mention Obama sending police officers for training (and I don't believe that 800,000 number is anywhere near accurate), but neglected to mention all of the law enforcement people who attended similar seminars and conferences in Israel during the Bush administration as well as more recently, in 2018.

    Careful, your extreme partsanship is showing.

    I'm not doing your research. If you want to claim that "800,000 American police trained in Israel" then you are obligated to provide evidence to support that from an unbiased source.

    And why aren't the Palestinians and blacks responsible at least in part for the "situation"? You can't simply blame the Israelis and police for all or even most of it.

    I'm not a bit ashamed of wanting all minorities to be treated fairly in what should be, and easily could be, a civilized and enlightened society.

    I'll be really glad when things like skin color, eye shape, and gender just don't matter.

    Alert! Russia-backed hate propaganda!

    This entire thread should be deleted. Where are the moderators?

    That wasn't the point. Someone said the protests and the riots were completely separate from one another. I disagreed.

    I think this protest is being warmed up specifically. I think the protest turning into pogroms is very beneficial for the ruling class of US oligarchs. And it doesn’t matter if they support Trump or his opponents.
    I think the pogroms, as part of the protest, should scare the layman and create favorable conditions for the introduction of fascism in the United States. Of course, the new domestic policy will not be called fascism, but the point is not the name. In essence, everything goes to the fascization of society.
    I think that as soon as the average person is ready to accept social restrictions and maybe even require the introduction of harsh measures, the protests will stop.

    I agree with you - I really do not know anything about MODERN Americans. It’s hard for me to imagine those Americans whom I knew before, that they would kiss the legs of blacks.
