I have already mentioned, cops don't like a lot of people, race, ethnicity, gender, addicts, mentally ill, poor persons no matter the colour. Racism isn't a factor "at times" it's a huge factor and especially for black males. The thought if I was a parent of a black child and had to give him the heads up of walking through certain neighborhoods, or being at certain facilities could cause his death as it has continually in this country, makes me sick.



I know that racism is a big problem but our problems in this country go so far beyond that one that it is foolish for liberals to treat racism as the number one problem as they seem inclined to do. You talk about the danger that black men face from the police, a very real danger, what about the danger that women face, both black and white, from violent criminals? Why aren't people more terrified to see their daughters going out in public in this society where they certainly face a threat to their safety as great as what black men face from the cops?

I'll give you an example. There is an episode of "See No Evil" on Id about Tosha Lampkin, a young black women who went out to get some food and never made it home. She was burned alive by two black men in the trunk of her own car. Were they provoked by her into doing that? No, but for some stupid reason they just decided to burn her alive after abducting her.

Extreme, misogynistic stupidity on that level is easily something women and their parents should fear at least as much as the fear that black people have of the police. But for some strange reason that reality is not recognized or fought against by the liberal media with the same passion or intensity as they fight racism.

We need to fight every form of extreme stupidity in this society and not single out racism as the biggest problem we face. It isn't. It's certainly not a bigger problem than the malevolent misogyny that continues to make this society dangerous for women.

On that we agree. We need to do a lot more for all of those folks including some of the things we've discussed. Ending the "war on drugs", providing women with the means to defend themselves, and prosecuting the police when they murder people.
