I'm trying to catch up on this Queen Sugar show right now ... which means I have no interest in jousting with you about this particular topic any further. Besides I've already proven my point ... pictures and all ... and at this stage in the game anything you would say is going to be on the intellectual equivalent of "Well no it's not!" despite all the evidence and basic common sense to the contrary staring you in the face. As your comment above makes abundantly clear. So scram!!!
Let's move up to current year, why you're obsessed with what happened long ago, and not what's going on today, isn't typical for a "progressive", is it? Want to truly be progressive? Find out why young men aren't getting into college now.
"I find your historical facts inconvenient so lets change the subject."
Why are young men not getting into college? Maybe the women are smarter, more mature, harder working etc etc. I'm sure you find that unfathomable though.

Its always out of context isn't it. I don't know how "You are always inferior, do as you're told." can possibly be out of context, especially talking to someone who has such a pet hate for feminism and indicated sympathy for MRAs.
I don't know how I can spell it out any more clearly. You live in a country where half of you literally believe in angels. Many deny evolution and believe the world to be under ten thousand years old. Most of these delusions being mandated by the bible. You are seriously going to tell me that no man in America is going to dictate how his wife (wives) and unwed daughters vote? Pull the other one.

I'm not sure how much money you can really make killing gays or beating your wife though. Like I said I bet most of it is American money for oil. So not the fruits of subjugation at all. They just do that because their rulebook says they can/should.

Doing charity work doesn't give you any right to dismiss oppression. Its not even relevant, hence its a brag. Or perhaps you think it makes you superior so that you can just make assertions and the rest of us humble peons aren't allowed to question you? That sounds kind of boastful too doesn't it? Stupid and boastful.
The only way you can defend yourself in this instance is to offer evidence that racism and sexism no longer exist in America. Good luck with that.

WAH!!! We're oppressed! Systemic Racism! (He shouts at his expensive computer, on his weekend off, while sitting in his comfortable home)
Yes, yes, very compelling.
Apologize.

Nope. Quotas. Be "Progressive", instead of being stuck in the last millenia's problems. Or, go to the Middle East and champion the rights of women, gays, and slaves, they need it over there.

Aside from a few evangelicals and mormons, and the aforementioned Muslims (that are a protected class now), people aren't doing that shit in the West, so see above and fight for those people. A one-way ticket to Yemen or Qatar is ~$800. Good luck.

Absolutely not, I fully admit it exists, in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, any of the Arabic countries. But go forth SJ Warrior, it's a shame you're likely too old to creep around college campuses and get into the regressive rallies, where the kids of the wealthiest 1% in the world feel they're being oppressed. They really work themselves up, it's like visiting those old-fashioned holiness churches where they spoke in tongues.

Boohoo, now you're oppressed too! See how easy that was? Now you can join the Oppression Olympics and get a medal.

So now there are some? A minute ago it was none. Something tells me there are a few other hardcore Christians who might do this too. JWs perhaps, and other extremists. The amount of pressure put on any given wife may vary, but you don't get say what pressure they do or don't feel, and they aren't likely to say if they follow the teachings in the Bible too.

So now because there are some rich brats moaning, sexism and racism don't have room to exist anymore? Your grip on cause and effect is puny.

Now your internet boasting is oppressing me in your opinion?
Next you'll be warning me I'm headed to hell for me sins and I'll be every bit as worried as I am oppressed.

I never said there weren't, but it's an issue that is fixing itself as evangelicals and the strictest Mormon sects shrink into oblivion. Why you're so obsessed with such a tiny, vanishing portion of the population is a mystery.
We were talking about Qatar here, not forced spousal voting.
It's the same subject, only in the West those oppressive patriarchal systems are dead or dying, being replaced with a gynocentric focus. That's definitely not the case in Qatar, or pretty much the entire Middle East (sans Israel). Hillary taking their money, to prop up her own interests, is at best a passive endorsement of the horrible shit they do, and you not seeing that is myopic or even complicit.

Your grip on the changes within your own ideology is worse.

Only when you cry about it. But then you have the gall to whip out your (oftentimes misplaced) nationalistic pride in other threads, making you look like a hypocrite.

Given your oversensitive nature and your attitudes, some would say you're already living in a Hell of your own making.

Trump continues to be perennially full of sh*t ...
Republican nominee Donald Trump called first presidential debate moderator, NBC News anchor Lester Holt, “a Democrat” Monday, despite public records that indicate otherwise.
New York State voter registration documents show that Holt has been a registered Republican in the state since 2003.
Trump’s comments to Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, which were offered without any evidence to support the claim, are part of a time-honored tradition of alleging moderator bias and expectations-setting before a presidential debate.
“By the way, Lester is a Democrat. It’s a phony system. They are all Democrats. It’s a very unfair system,” Trump said of the debate moderators.
The NBC newsman, regarded by both parties as a straight shooter, is set to moderate the first debate on Sept. 26.
For those with short memories or weren't born yet.
Jesse Jackson thinks Donald Trump is a champion of minority empowerment.
Or at least he used to before the turn of the millennium.
In both 1998 and 1999, Trump was an honored guest at the annual Wall Street Conference hosted by the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Jackson’ DC-based “multi-racial, multi-issue, progressive, international membership organization fighting for social change.”
“We need your building skills, your gusto,” Jackson told the Donlestate mogul before stating Trump is a model for “people on Wall Street to represent diversity.”
Jackson introduced his Trump — whom he called a “friend” — at the same conference in 1999, where this time he was invited to speak on the “challenges and opportunities to embrace under-served communities.”
“He is deceptive in that his social style is of such, one can miss his seriousness and commitment to success, which is beyond argument,” Jackson said Trump.
“When we opened this Wall Street project,” he continued. “He gave us space at 40 Wall Street, which was to make a statement about our having a presence there.”
“Beyond that, in terms of reaching out and being inclusive, he’s done that too,” Jackson added. “He has this sense of the curious and a will to make things better.”
“Aside from all of his style, and his pizazz, he’s a serious person who is an effective builder of people.”
Eight issues and Clinton scandals the GOP nominee should drive home in the first presidential debate.
1.) Clinton has already failed to make America secure
The debate will be held at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, less than 30 miles from the latest in what has become a ceaseless stream of terrorist attacks under President Obama. Clinton steered Obama’s foreign policy for four years. Why would the nation give responsibility for America’s security to the very person who helped make it insecure? There is no end in sight to the escalating incidents of Islamic terrorism striking the United States, and Clinton is not the person to stop it.
2) Refugees
To many normal Americans, Trump’s logic of curtailing the entry of people from Middle East and African nations spawning terrorists is undeniable. And yet Clinton wants to go even beyond Obama in ushering potentially dangerous new populations into the country.
“I think the United States has to do more, and I would like to see us move from what is a good start with 10,000 to 65,000 and begin immediately to put into place the mechanisms for vetting the people that we would take in,” Clinton said. Who is going to vet them, Trump should ask — the same people at Homeland Security who just accidentally gave citizenship to 858 people from countries that pose national security threats?
Trump can argue we are a compassionate people, but nobody remembers the Founding Fathers bringing the Barbary Pirates into the country. We should help relocate refugees in the Middle East.
3.) Immigration, immigration, immigration
Let’s say that three times, since it applies to each debate topic. The open border that Clinton would leave unprotected is an entry point for terrorists. A flood of immigrants who do not necessarily share our values — and many whose first act here is to break the law by entering illegally — is also a national security threat.
Unchecked mass immigration is threatening prosperity by providing cheap labor coveted by the Chamber of Commerce and taking jobs from struggling Americans.
And part of the reason Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction is that the culture is being yanked out from underneath them by liberals like Clinton. America is not historically a nation of immigrants — it is a nation of assimilated immigrants, and endless immigration doesn’t allow for assimilation.
4.) Trade
Hillary Clinton has supported NAFTA and just about every free trade deal that came before it. She is only a recent convert to opposing the Trans-Pacific Partnership and clearly flip-flopped only to curry support from Bernie Sanders supporters. Trump should note that these deals have harmed the prosperity of millions of Americans who were put out of work by cheap labor from overseas. And they threaten our security by putting the United States at the mercy of global governance institutions.
5.) Guns
Is there anything more basic to one’s personal security than a firearm? Trump should say, “Yes, happiness is a warm gun. Bang bang. Shoot shoot.” Clinton is threatening the security of Americans faced with escalating violent crime and the potential for terrorist attacks by vowing to limit their gun rights. Every American these days needs a concealed carry permit so they can take their children to the shopping mall. Trump should note that if an off-duty police officer hadn’t been carrying, he couldn’t have put an end to the terrorist who was stabbing people in a St. Cloud, Minnesota, shopping mall Saturday night.
An Aug. 26 poll conducted by Pew Research found a majority of Americans think it is more important to protect gun rights than to implement new restrictions on gun ownership — Trump is on solid ground to take the issue on offense.
6.) Emails
One of the underemphasized points about Hillary Clinton’s failure to use a secure email system as secretary of state is that it shows she does not put the nation’s security above her own selfish needs. Hiding her communications outweighed, for her, the risk that they would fall into enemy hands. If sources, methods, or operations were exposed, she could have gotten American operatives or our foreign spies killed.
That kind of attitude can be hammered as disqualifying.
7.) Benghazi
Americans were left to die at an outpost that was under Clinton's stewardship as secretary of state, even though Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens had repeatedly requested beefed up security. The excuse that she didn't see his pleas is no excuse at all: She should have had a system in place where such an urgent matter would get her attention. The woman who wants to be in charge of the nation's security couldn't even supply it for her own employees at the State Department, and then couldn't arrange to save those who died more than seven hours after the attack began.
8.) Economic growth
Many Americans may not be aware that the economy is currently nearly in a recession, growing at just 1 percent, and that at around 1.5 percent over seven years, Obama has the worst economic growth record of any post-war American president. Clinton plans to double down on his policies.
Trump has a golden opportunity to have a debate victory delivered to him on a silver platter. He just needs to stick to the issues that have been so winning for him so far.
Sean Hannity is predicting the Hillary will not even try to defend her dismal record as SOS. She will spend both debates (if they even happen ) engaging in ad hominem attacks in an atttempt to get Trump pissed off.
Given your apparent obsession with everybody else's alleged oversensitivity, I could say the same of you.
You'd be wrong, but you can say it. *shrug*

Only amongst those who think it's cool for "jump out boys" (AKA plainclothes cops who roll up on people to quickly serve warrants, make arrests, etc.) to shoot and kill a man who was parked in his car reading a book while waiting on his son to arrive on the school bus. A tragedy made even worse because they rolled up on the wrong guy. I agree wholeheartedly. Trump will be even more popular with such individuals. But the thing is ... they were already Trump supporters anyway.

Of course, it's a tragedy that our police is out of control.
But you can't blame Republicans or Trump alone.
Democrats sit by idle, watching, and doing nothing
Heck, you had Obama in office for 8 years, what has he done to make things better ?
Exactly, nada, zilch. He only offered some inflammatory rhetoric.
On top of that, the biggest supporters and protectors of a**hole cops are police unions.
And guess who these guys vote for: DEMOCRATS
I admit, I didn't hear the statement directly from his mouth. I heard someone else mention it when he was first announced as a moderator.
In Chicago, the local politicians are determined in the primary. In the general, they run unopposed, or against a token candidate. I was given the impression NYC is similar, and for this reason, he's registered as a Democrat.
We have both been around here long enough for you to know without a doubt that I don't think this is a Democrat or Republican issue. It's way deeper than that. My only point is that Trump's popularity would only increase over the riots going on in Charlotte among people who already supported him to begin with. IOW a non-Trump supporter isn't going to suddenly switch camps over the situation. But an existing Trump supporter might very well be more firmly in his camp because of it.
And as for police unions ... in actuality they are the exception to the rule when it comes to public sector unions supporting Dems. Just saying ...
The National Fraternal Order of Police, the country's largest law enforcement union, on Friday announced it would endorse Republican Donald Trump for president..
…
The order endorsed Republican candidates George W. Bush and John McCain in 2000, 2004 and 2008, and Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1996. It declined to endorse Barack Obama or Mitt Romney in 2012, declaring neither candidate had made police or criminal justice a priority.

Geez, you have a pet name for everyone, don't you? They've yet to find his "book", but they did find a loaded 9mm with his fingerprints on it, despite him being a convicted felon and unable to legally own a gun. Pretty sure I was talking about the riots (that claim more innocent lives than the instances that spark them), complete with wholesale destruction, looting, and arson, but just keep ignoring those.

I don't have a "pet name" for them. That's what the people in the neighborhood call them. If you have an issue with it then I suggest you take it up with them.

They being who? The police? Well they have no reason to lie huh? We've never seen the police lie about the circumstances of a questionable police shooting huh? As for the book Mr. Scott was known by everyone in the neighborhood. It's all over the news that this was a daily routine for him to read in his car while waiting for his son to arrive on the school bus. How convenient would it be for him to not have his book on the day he was killed by the police who were after someone else?

Source? Or are you once again simply talking sh*t.

Yeah. As usual you are just talking sh*t ....
Court records indicate that the man shot to death by Charlotte police had a criminal record including an assault conviction.
Mecklenburg County records matching Keith Lamont Scott's name and birth date show Scott was charged in April 2004 with multiple counts, including felony assault with a deadly weapon. Records show that most of the charges were dismissed, and he pleaded guilty to a single charge of MISDEMEANOR assault with a deadly weapon.
Records from nearby Gaston County show that Scott pleaded guilty to driving while impaired in 2015.
A woman who identified herself as an advocate for Scott's family, Annette Albright, said at a news conference that he shouldn't be "re-victimized" because of things he did in the past.
She told reporters: "What he was doing at the time of the shooting is what's relevant."
So he was NOT a "convicted felon". And even if he was .... the cops had no way of knowing that one way or the other at the time.

Didn't know that, but doesn't make a difference. F&ck the unions. No matter who they support in politics.
This is an excellent example that shows how they only serve their own interest.
-t
As I've expressed before on many occasions around here that I'm "ambivalent" towards unions ... at best. I might arrive at the same conclusion highlighted above for different reasons. But it's generally the same conclusion nonetheless.
So he was NOT a "convicted felon". And even if he was .... the cops had no way of knowing that one way or the other at the time.
From your link: "Scott has a criminal record in three states, including Texas, South Carolina and North Carolina. Texas records show that he was convicted of evading arrest with a vehicle in 2005, and several months later of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon."
Yeah, pistol-whipping, what a sweetheart. Those are felonies, professor.
Now you are just being delusional. Carry on ...
You'd know.

Why is no one raising more of a ruckus over Trump's sniffle? Obviously, rather than rationally assume it's a cold or fall allergies, we must immediately jump to the worst conclusion, which is a) he has nose cancer; b) he's got small fuzzy critters living in his sinuses; or c) he snorts coke. Isn't that what we're supposed to do? Should we break out the red circles and the zoom feature in Microsoft paint? Some arrows would be good too, aw yiss.
As soon as he passes out in public and needs to be dragged to an awaiting van.
