What do you suggest as a solution?
I think we should implement a flat tax rate system and end all tax loop holes.
But how do we bring money that is stored overseas back into the US?
End capitalism
Yay socialism. Works every time.

we had over 25 a few days ago
"When the Louisiana State Militia finally arrived at the Colfax courthouse on April 15, 1873, all it could do was bury the bodies. Two days earlier, a large force of white supremacists had taken control of the courthouse from the mostly black faction protecting it. J. R. Beckwith, the U.S. attorney for New Orleans, told Congress that in the aftermath the ground was “strewn with dead negroes,” their bodies plundered by whites who had come to watch the bloodshed. The [over 100] dead remained “unburied and mutilated,” Beckwith said, until federal troops arrived days later to shovel them into a mass grave."

"The men who carried out the massacre had popular support among Southern whites—according to the historian Ted Tunnell, “nearly half the white males” in New Orleans alone belonged to terrorist groups such as the White League, which was willing to use violence to secure political gains or prevent black Americans from voting."
i urge everyone to read this
it's long but it's an important part of america's history and future
1883 U.S. v. Harris, Justice Bradley writes the majority opinion overturning the Civil Rights Act of 1875, which declared that “all persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, and privileges of inns, public conveyances on land or water, theaters, and other places of public amusement.”
"When a man has emerged from slavery, and, by the aid of beneficent legislation, has shaken off the inseparable concomitants of that state, there must be some stage in the progress of his elevation when he takes the rank of a mere citizen and ceases to be the special favorite of the laws, and when his rights as a citizen or a man are to be protected in the ordinary modes by which other men's rights are protected … There were thousands of free colored people in this country before the abolition of slavery, enjoying all the essential rights of life, liberty and property the same as white citizens, yet no one at that time thought that it was any invasion of his personal status as a freeman because he was not admitted to all the privileges enjoyed by white citizens, or because he was subjected to discriminations in the enjoyment of accommodations in inns, public conveyances and places of amusement."
following this statement would be a century of jim crow laws, voter suppression and disenfranchisement, lynchings. segregation wouldn’t become illegal again until a century later, in the Civil Rights Act of 1964
New Orleans lynchings don't change the fact that we failed to protect the rights of black citizens
certainly seems like your point was that because there were lynchings against non-blacks that black lynchings don't matter
since you said nobody cares and then brought up that there were lynchings against non-blacks too
lynchings are a microcosm of the general problem of the US government and state governments failing to protect the rights of black citizens
you're saying that the US government successfully protected black voting rights and upheld the guarantee of equal rights in the 15th Amendment?
of course there was racism and discrimination against European immigrants
we do talk about it too, Gangs of New York is all about how shitty conditions were in NY for Irish immigrants
but black discrimination was worse in terms of long lasting effects
and the largest mass lynching in US history was against Chinese people in LA
that one in Arkansas most wouldn't call a mass lynching, though some do
there were 15 Chinese lynched in LA
@Kwasy Did i tag the wrong person? I cant find anything that fits what I replied to from you (message history
