We have more of a choice in selecting our favorite sports teams, not to mention our accomplishments.
Environment, quality of life for working class and poor (through programs like minimum wage, education programs, tax code, etc.), health care for more, global peace through cooperation (globalization) and demilitarization, winning through promotion of environmental research and jobs.
I offer this as an example of racism and identity politics from the left:
Also his mother was a ho bag who was completely uninvolved with him and he didn't even live at home half the time, she didn't even know what her own son LIKED.In that case, it's no big loss. Is that what you meant, or did you have something else in mind?
Well quality of lifeThe quality of life that I was referring to was a fair tax code, decent education, and decent minimum wage. Yeah, they've also been going for gender equality in pay, and their data is probably biased. But that's not been the Dem's major push, and if it does come to the forefront, the bias will get tested and the goals will be shifted.
In that case, it's no big loss. Is that what you meant, or did you have something else in mind?
No one is saying it's "no big loss" but Leftist media painted a completely different picture of who Trayvon was
Is the media looking through the list of people murdered in a TX church, and seeing who was in debt, had children out of wedlock, or who had a ho for a mother? Are they publishing that information? Is it relevant to the fact that they were murdered? Should they report that stuff? I'd say that it is not relevant and they should not report it. But, for some reason, certain types of people want to find excuses in these high profile cases where black people were killed. Trayvon had a ho for a mother? Really? What conclusion am I supposed to draw from that? I seriously don't know. Why should the media report that?
Do you have any proof of this?

Here's a fact. If Trayvon had not tried to beat Zimmerman to death, he would be alive right now.
He had to be an OG. Because the bitches around him like that, he saw mom and his female peers in action. He was on the phone with a BBW Cumdumpster at the time.TwoScoopsMcGee says
he kid was abused and was almost certainly bound for prison one way or another. Because Ghetto Bitches mistreat their boys. Their shitty, horrible mothers and all of them don't work for a living and any of them could leave the hood
I presume most of you believe that OJ is guilty despite being found not guilty
You think OJ is innocent?I doubt it, but I never made the argument that a 'not guilty' finding is proof of innocence. Team Red made that claim in this thread, and nobody (including you) thought it worth refuting.

Identity politics are coming from both sides. The left believes that the majority of issues that minorities face are due to outright persecution or unconscious bias. They feel that we can never have equality if we do not address those openly. They also are more libertarian when it comes to sex (both fucking and gender). The right believes that we have achieved an equality of opportunity society, and that there are no significant biases. Therefore, any disparity in achievement or conviction is due almost entirely to a lacking of innate ability/intelligence or culture of whatever minority. The right also believes that the various genderbending labels are a sickness and an affront to God, and that the people really being persecuted these days are white men. Both sides are arguing their point vigorously in the media and in outlets like this site. Politicians on both sides use it as a wedge issue, because it is convenient.
IMO, these issues are really not that important. Individual people get sucked into the debate, despite the lack of real relevance to most of their lives. It's really just a form of procrastination and avoidance of other more important issues.
Do people generally agree that these issues are not that important, or do they rate it as highly important?
