I hope someday your feelings of law enforcement can be repaired by them. This is a tragic relationship between people and those that are supposed to protect them.

I hope law enforcement keeps correcting this, which they should have done themselves but instead it took enormous pressure and numerous occasions of crimes by law enforcement.

Maybe one day, you won't have to fell that way.

Maybe everyone has different opinions on what racism is?

The dictionaries definition of racism centers around a belief or ideology that one's race is somehow superior or better than another.

I have high confidence that the particular people I'm asserting would consider themselves middle of the road politically do not in any way believe that their race is somehow superior or better than another. They don't believe they're better than African, Latin, Asian, etc, as do I.

I work with a couple of trumpers. Father forgive them for they know not what they do. ๐Ÿ˜‰

From what I can tell, it seems you're mostly conveying a guilty by association assertion? I think you're saying if someone votes American republican, because some American publicans are shitty or have racist tendencies, than anyone that votes for them is equally guilty of such.

Wouldn't this ideology equally apply to biden? Because biden's administration has supported the war that people claim genocide, does anyone who votes for an American Democrat also comparable for genocide? So how should we vote in that scenario? One is a racist, one supports genocide?

I disagree. Not a single person I consider center is even close to a racist.

I work with a bunch of conservative or American Republican voters. None support or are racist.

None of the barely Democrat voters I know are racist. Since there's assertion that even American Democrats are right, same applies.

Are there groups of shitty people who are, sure. I don't think they represent the whole of the country. I don't know why middle ground is interpreted as racism ok. That's not middle.

I was not suggesting it was policy. I was suggesting it was an absolute viewpoint or a personal value.

Second though, I don't know that I consider KKK supporters moderate. Maybe historically unfortunately, but not now. I've never met someone I thought was a middle ground or more center person who supports racism. Especially hard/blatant racism. I'd take ignorance, they might not understand cultural differences.

You don't feel like its not a reasonable example if we are talking modern day American politics in the same conversation with unions and minimum wage?

I do agree there are some absolutes that cannot be tolerated. But, it gets difficult to articulate that because some people have such strong opinions about a particular topic, they consider it an absolute. Like murdering a child should never be tolerated would be an example of an absolute I think all of mumanity would support, but it was done during China's one child policy. So some didn't subscribe to that.

I find political discussions with certain people hard because they believe their thing should be absolute, rather than up for negotiation, hopefully so both group kinda win instead of everyone loses.

Could it be that the administration staff at whichever state department like health or some licensing office are just ignorant to the culture? Maybe they didn't understand?

If they sued and got the required training down, then I'm guessing the health groups aren't worried about lice or some other thing.

I can only speak from limited experience, which is why I ask things instead of assuming, but I haven't met any state policy people here that would intentionally try to keep women of color from owning businesses. There are all types of people in those state departments, at least here.

I would think it would be the opposite. If you enable people to open businesses, you create opportunities to remove negative life conditions.

Maybe there's an aspect of 'well everyone else has to do that requirement', so we're treating people the same. That wouldnt seem like discrimination if it was only thought out of ignorance of what the service actually entails.

How's your area and government? You think there's still old rich white men trying to road block? I feel like those dinosaurs would be dying off. Edit, as where I work, any hint of that attitude would get you destroyed. As it should be.

Second edit, I submit more proof people are ignorant of certain cultural things:

We have a niece that is mixed African and Guatemalan descent from her parents. When she stays with us, we have a really hard time doing anything with her hair, cuz we don't have any other products nor the knowledge. We had to ask a couple of people, which makes you feel real dumb, but it's a simple thing.

Yeah, I'm hoping though it progresses to the point that we can reasonably reduce vehicle related incidents.

Between drunk driving, texting, and generally not paying attention, I'd love more people using automated driving if it became statistically safer.

Some people are scared to fly even thought it's statistically safer. They don't want to be the rare happening. Unless Boeing, then check your doors...

Edit, I also agree you can't easily track or correlate things that didn't happen with all the factors here.

What if we compare that to human related injuries?

I bet more people were killed by other human drivers today. Probably another right now...

I'm not excusing lack of tech safety, but I think there's a double standard not in context.

It is if you're only interested in supporting your own narrative.

Ha, I think you misunderstood. I'm not lecturing progressives and leftists for refusing to vote for Biden. I don't care. Vote however you need.

I originally said something because the flawed strawman comments were berating disagreement over simplified into unionsupport, and wages.

Sorry, missed the primary. Yes, I'm truly super irritated with primary and the concept.

How the hell do both American parties back these two candidates? Should have done better imo.
