its worse that nobody cares

the reality is that people should handle their own problems if at all possible

and not involve the police unless absolutely necessary

so

yeah, don't call the cops unless you want someone shot

no, can't do that, you need a 3rd, neutral party

for like the Mattrass in the Dumpster.

you do that. you will dream for the days of only a few hundred dead by police

like saying. i expect a better outcome for people to handle the situation vs people trained and accountable

most have a camera strapped to their chest

I think people are capable of being reasonable

and should not involve the police unless absolutely necessary

that has worked for me so far, and I won't be changing my mind

go to the mafia before the police. only consumers can break up monopolies.

lol

I'll file that in the "really, really bad ideas" category

Government did a pretty good job breaking up Ma Bell

I lived through that

and then we pretty much re-assembled it, eh?

I dunno if this is a controversial opinion, wanna gauge it; United Ireland is coming and I'm damn excited

I can almost guarantee it

Is this really the perception in north america?
Are white kids raised to believe they are under attack?
Did the current parent generation really oppress an entire race?

Parent or grandparents, yes. Look up Jim Crow.

Within last 100 years at least

No ones current kids' parents oppressed anyone

jim crow was widespread - slavery, not so much
what percentage of Americans actually owned slaves?

also...THIS generation is oppressing the chinese
with their iPhones and cheap goods
produced under conditions that are not so far distant from slavery

Thank you for answering

Can I get a foreigners digest of the Jim Crow law/ruling/what it is and the meaning for american society

In short a tl:dr

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jim_Crow_law_examples_by_state

One of my parents voted for Nixon to signs waving saying "Nixon for law and order" and "Put the n****r in his place". The other voted differently. My mother attended segregated schools and went to segregated businesses. Virginia in the 1950s.

Thanks for answering.

My first girlfriend was black and I nearly gave my grandmother a heart attack in 1985 when I brought her home. By 2008 she happily voted for Obama and cried tears of joy at his acceptance speech. People change, but that doesn't change what was back in 1970's and earlier

Yeah,but you aren't a kid today.
The question was about today's kids parents oppressing a race..

@4AM_critter 🐉 ya know who owned more slaves in the US, right?

the _jews_ 😏

why do people even think slavery has anything to do with race? The west simply used blacks because they were cheap in Africa, where other blacks sold blacks

Just a personal addendum. Oppression is not dependent on slavery.
