How are the names racist? They used certain names to market certain foods and correspond them to the culture they are from. Are Jose Ole taquitos racist because they have Jose in the name? Give me a break.

Did you not see all his emoticons? That's him being snarky.

@MrWunderful is doing exactly what @spacepup told the rest of us not to do - to take petty jabs at one another. You don't get a free pass just because you're a mod.

Here's the latest SJW crusade. Trader Joe's is racist everyone! https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/19/us/trader-joes-food-labeling-racist-petition-trnd/index.html

Did you even watch the video?

The BLM movement is a sham.

Lol what other country is he comparing the U.S to for COVID-19?

I forgot one. Epstein really didn't kill himself.

It's hard to prove a cop didn't feel like their life was in immediate danger at the time of the incident. That's why it's so hard to "hold police accountable". Should the cops involved in George Floyd's death be held accountable? Absolutely. Should the cops involved in Rayshard Brooks' death be held accountable? Not at all since they did nothing wrong. They're 2 completely different cases but the public villainizes the cops in both cases. In one case you have cops kneeling on an already detained guy's neck for a long time. Excessive force and they didn't let up when he said he couldn't breathe. They need to be held accountable. In the other case, you have a dude who punched cops, stole a cops taser, and then pointed that taser at cops. Cops justifiably used lethal force because their life was in immediate danger. You don't have 5 seconds to see what's going to happen once that guy is pointing a taser at you. All it takes is 5 seconds for him to now go grab that downed officer's gun and now you have a very serious problem.

The situation sucks either way. Maybe some middle ground? Like certain teachers and parents sign waivers saying they understand the risks of COVID-19 but will do in person teaching regardless.

Its going to be a hot mess. Safety always comes first though.

Friends is a sh!tty show. The big bang theory is a sh!tty show. Golf is not a real sport. Nascar is not a real sport. Football is the best sport. Anti-vaxers are idiots. Anti-maskers are idiots. No one cares that you're a SJW. No one cares that you're gluten free. Mushrooms don't belong on pizza. Minecraft is not a real game. You consume far more sugar in a day than you think you do. Dogs > cats. If you want to lose weight, don't consume 4000 calories a day. GoldenEye 007 is the worst FPS ever made.

Vaccines won't be ready for another 6-12 months. Opening up schools in person means putting kids and their relatives' lives at risk. I foresee lots of lawsuits if schools open in person this fall. All it takes is one death from COVID-19.

When did so many people become anti-vaxers in the U.S? Not wearing a mask because it "takes away your freedom" is the same thing as refusing to get a vaccine for your kid so they can attend school. Both a vaccine and a mask are aimed at lessening the spread of a disease and protecting not just you but those around you. WEAR A FUCKING MASK. (Not directed at you. It's directed at any idiot who refuses to wear a mask in public.)

Seems like a super smart idea to me. Let's open everything back up when we're spiking and setting all time records left and right. What could go wrong?

Don't forget China and their concentration camps they have right now. Yes that's really still a thing in the 21st century. https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_re-education_camps#:~:text=As of 2018%2C it was,internment camps which are located

I'm not directing it at you. If we all simply just be better people, that'll help a ton with all problems.

The difficulty of the nation and the court system is determining which ones are unlawful. I think that's definitely where some of the controversy comes from. Just look at the Michael Brown incident as a prime example.

That could be part of the solution sure. I hope you don't think that will magically solve all problems though. It's a cultural problem at its roots. We all need to change how we treat people and change those around us.

Well those are both disturbing.

No way schools are in person this fall.

What should we as a society do to stop systemic racism, or to start, lessen the severity of it?

I said nearly as upset. You're not a very good troll. Yes systemic racism is a problem. I'll ask in another way. If police are viewed as being problematic, why do we focus almost only on certain acts of cop mistreatment when it's against black victims? Systemic racism is a problem. The defund the police movement is against police. BLM is for racial equality. The defund the police movement only gained serious traction after George Floyd. It never would've happened if George Floyd was white.

Controversial question incoming. Why don't people get nearly as upset when a white person is innocently killed by police? Why is it only when it's a white cop killing a black person? In both instances we as a society only seem to highlight and get worked up about the cases where a black person is the victim. However, in both cases, the police screwed up and innocent lives were lost.
