for example, I think that the free market has been proven to be ineffective at insuring healthcare to all people, therefore I believe in socialized healthcare

2018-07-19 17:40:41 UTC  

All the good economies are Capitalist

2018-07-19 17:41:20 UTC  

but I also think that most people have access to food, just as a random example, so I wouldn't believe in state run food marts or something weird like that

2018-07-19 17:41:51 UTC  

Seems to me only thing holding you down as a liberal is healthcare

2018-07-19 17:42:08 UTC  

That and I'm just gonna assume you are not a Trump supporter

2018-07-19 17:42:42 UTC  

I also agree with BLM, kind of

2018-07-19 17:42:51 UTC  

Rip progress

2018-07-19 17:43:02 UTC  

BLM is kind of blanket isssue

2018-07-19 17:43:17 UTC  

Why not just, "All lives matter"

2018-07-19 17:43:36 UTC  

Why specifically blacks

2018-07-19 17:43:56 UTC  

that's like saying "YOU MAN EVERYONE'S GOT PROBLEMS" to someone who's saying "My home was burned down with all my belongings"

2018-07-19 17:44:49 UTC  

But who gives a shit if they're black or not

2018-07-19 17:45:10 UTC  

I don't think they are getting any major prejudice

2018-07-19 17:45:11 UTC  

The police that shoot them more often

2018-07-19 17:45:20 UTC  

the people that don't hire them based off of race

2018-07-19 17:45:46 UTC  

First of black people take up 15% of the population in the US

2018-07-19 17:45:52 UTC  

and over 50% of the crime rate

2018-07-19 17:45:57 UTC  

no

2018-07-19 17:46:01 UTC  

Yes

2018-07-19 17:46:08 UTC  

around 1/4 of all crimes in the US are by black people

2018-07-19 17:46:45 UTC  

You do realize thats still double their proportion right

2018-07-19 17:47:00 UTC  

yes

2018-07-19 17:47:02 UTC  

I realize that

2018-07-19 17:47:06 UTC  

Black America has a lot of issues that do need to be adressed but it aint cops or them whites.

2018-07-19 17:47:21 UTC  

but 50% is not true though

2018-07-19 17:47:40 UTC  

Hm, could've sworn I got it somewhere

2018-07-19 17:47:43 UTC  

@Crasseus we should talk in voice

2018-07-19 17:47:44 UTC  

The 50% figure comes from violent crime statistics

2018-07-19 17:47:45 UTC  

I'll have to recheck it

2018-07-19 17:47:57 UTC  

If you look at all crimes then its closer to a quarter

2018-07-19 17:48:22 UTC  

I'm looking at a graph right now though

2018-07-19 17:48:30 UTC  

and it said "violence"

2018-07-19 17:48:40 UTC  

Post it

2018-07-19 17:48:42 UTC  

Whats the website

2018-07-19 17:48:43 UTC  

I'm in the debate voice chat

2018-07-19 17:48:55 UTC  

I'm on my phone

2018-07-19 17:49:24 UTC  

@Crasseus you wanna hop in voice chat

2018-07-19 17:51:31 UTC  

I can see how it could be over 50% if you cherry pick stats

2018-07-19 17:52:05 UTC
