This was where the MSM and the Left bullied and denounced white teenagers because the supposedly "bullied" a Native Indian. Turns out it was the native Indian that confronted and provoked them. The boys themselves were trying to avoid engaging the Black Hebrew Israelites who where hurling insults at them.

Just in case anyone hasn't heard of the Black Hebrew Israelites. They are hate group. They have been linked to attacks against Orthodox Jews in New York.

This attack gives you a good idea of what is going on:

The left tacitly support anti-semitism and is un-apologetically racist. And there actions in this incident are direct proof of that. Those boys were only attacked because they were white and the Black Hebrew Israelites are running riot in New York without any comment from the MSM because they are black. Its a huge double standard.

Anyone watch the coverage of the 2A rally in Virginia yesterday? Leading up to the event the MSM tried to hard to paint it in an extremely negative light. They tried inciting violence by saying it was filled with white supremacists etc.

Turns out it was extremely peaceful and had a really strong minority showing.  People even brought trash bags to clean up after the rally unlike other marches (cough cough womens march, antifa, etc.)

Well this is the world we live in.

Smiling white people are racists.

Violent African Americans and Hispanics are victims.

Eastern Europeans are all corrupt oligarchs or national security threats.

Middle Eastern terrorists are victims

Asians dont count and if they do get treated like white people.

Jews are fair game for everyone...


Koombaya....

Interesting fact - I believe Pat Cipollone is a Covington Catholic graduate.

from wikipedia:  "Cipollone's father was an Italian immigrant and factory worker; his mother was a homemaker. He spent most of his childhood in the Bronx. The family moved to Kentucky, where he graduated from Covington Catholic High School in 1984"

There's nothing in the articles or videos suggesting that the Covington students weren't acting like assholes, including Sandmann's smirking face, the shouts at the walking girls, etc.  Just that there are plenty of assholes on the left too and they are equally complicit. 

But you guys constantly looking for ways to defend the right, while making the left look like they are the ones only manipulating things, including the media, is just idiotic as the MSM constantly bashing the right.  Enjoy the politics section for the remainder of the year...it will be gone in the new incarnation of the site...and members who post political posts on the new site will be banned after two warnings.  Cheers!

Ive noticed the liberal arguments have been weak and spread thin lately. Trump was responsible for Iran shooting down a passenger plane. White teenagers awkwardly smirking in an uncomfortable situation now equates to being an asshole.... so yea. I guess when you run out of ways to rationalize this stuff and what little is left results in having to take these positions....shut it down.

I think the argument that politics is a valid discussion point on an investing board has been shown to be a weak argument.

Empirically this sub-forum has existed for two years. What benefit has there been on our investing process or decisions? I would argue little to none.
