So then money won't... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 16/06/2020 06:09:24 PM

fix all the problems. But it would fix some of them? So then we're not talking about reparations. We're talking about protection money. The government (using my money) is going to pay a section of the population money (either one time or over time) to not loot, steal, destroy property, and set up "autonomous" zones? Is that what we're talking about here?

That as opposed to funding people to enforce the law, we take that money and fund people who do not follow the law, because it was once used against them? How far back can/does one go? Jim Crow laws were invalidated decades ago. Is there another codified example of racial discrimination that I'm unaware of?

I would expect so, yes. *NM* - 08/06/2020 08:00:59 PM 186 Views
That yes is for which question? Or is it for both? *NM* - 08/06/2020 08:23:06 PM 191 Views
The first one. Otherwise I'd have said no and yes. *NM* - 08/06/2020 09:19:48 PM 184 Views

Why are you so invested in either closing down the country or the seriousness of the flu? - 09/06/2020 06:37:24 PM 415 Views
