fortyearspickn Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 20 hours ago, ghost_of_fl said: Let me try to explain in a way you can understand. 1. There is civil unrest/protesting 2. The police are pulled from their regular duties to be on-site at those protests. 3. The lack of police presence where there are no protests creates a vacuum. Criminals of all colors know the police won't respond or will be slow to respond to break-ins. Thus looting. It happens during major power outages too. Assimg that the people protesting right now are also the ones looting is a shortcut to thinking. Sorry if the term "redneck" hits a little close to home for you. "Let me try to explain in a way even you can understand." Crass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrimination based on race has been ILLEGAL for decades in this country Ghost. Google The Civil Rights Act of 1964. And, there were things like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Quotas, etc. which ensured a quick implementation. And it covered much more than just 'employment'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you guys PM each other and fukin argue with each other. You two guys aren't going to end racism arguing about it on a guitar forum let's get serious. Edited June 10, 2020 by Sgt.
