#4 Also, the things that are manufactured in the US now tend to be made on high tech equipment which even the lowest person on the totem pole must understand to be a worker in a highly automated factory. And the people who run the CNC machines and 3D printers? Not dumb proles.

#5 Disagree. It is Marxist journalism and university that made the riots. Nothing else.

How do Spengler explain that there are no riots for thousands of black men killed by other black men?

It is the journalist.

#6 Goldman is usually accurate in his assessments, but he wouldn't be the only one trying to pretend blacks aren't essentially atavistic.

#9 The notion that 50s blacks were whites with good teeth is something to be expected from someone who didn't live here then.

#10 Sidney Poitier got to the top by playing the black guy who acted white and hated doing it.

#14 Numbers collected about how blacks lived in America in the 50s are so bad only a true magic numbers addict would want to see them.

Excel is a shitty lens to see the world thru.

Hiya, guys. So... a terrible time, this George Floyd thing. I am with the cops. Good... bad... I am with the cops.

I never quite understood why Americans expect communities that add their chosen tribal identities before the 'American', to be ever loyal to the American nation. Maybe Americans have stopped seeing it as a nation altogether, the borders so porous and the polity so divided on the subject. Maybe it's really like the liberals say, 'an amalgam of diverse settler societies, still developing.'

Obviously, the hereditary agenda of Africanized Americans has always remained to fashion whatever States they can get their hands on, into utopias they can relate to - the stuff of Mugabes and Idi Amins.

People who cannot pick a side between future Wakanda and their own national dignity because of a little vicarious guilt will find themselves unable to survive the coming onslaught of anti-American activism. A very bad time, it forces us to side with idiots like Chauvin. But I'm still with the cops.

Maybe entire PDs should resign and people should should just arm themselves, set up community operated surveillance in neighbourhoods to capture the reality of Wakandans and Antifa, the things they hide behind their mask of victimhood. If it's anarchy they want, better a white, American anarchy than something from the minds of modern day Malcom Xs or Khalil Muhammeds.

Sorry, but when I see unemployable mobs of bastards turn a town into shit, I feel enraged for the hard working nine-to-fiver who abides by rules, keeps everyone pleased and yet suffers. Our duty is to him, not some mob of historic guilt peddling criminals.

#22 Hi Dron, missed you.

#23 Thank you. I really missed you too. Couldn't even keep track.

So.. a pretty bad thing for our American brethren. When I saw the reports on youtube, I said, ' shit !' Felt like beating that idiot cop to death.

#25 M. Murcek -Sidney Poitier is from and grew up in the then British Colony of Bahamas. He later became American but his education and such was in the UK tradition of what it supplied to natives in colonies. Nuff Said..

#26 Dron66046: One rumor going about but quickly censored by FaceBook, Google and Twitter was that the cop who did that was hire by the scum where the victim last worked to expressly remove him from this plain... Who knows but not beyond possible?

#27 Well, he's no hit man if he took 8+ minutes of an iffy technique in broad daylight to do the job.

#28 And I stick by my analysis that Poitier made his bones in cinema as a black man having angry issues about integrating in white society. Where he went to school really has nothing to do with it.

#29 What M said. He should have stuck to policing Demtown, and activity that does not require any real finesse.
