. . . Color me skeptical, but at the very least your advocacy that the police confront blacks disproportionately was seriously piss-poor language. Because African-Americans are confronted every time they are stopped for DWB (Driving While Black). Same thing when they are stopped and frisked and confroned disproportionately to the likelihood they are carrying weapons. How about the police confronting a black man for openly carrying a gun in an open carry state? Same with DUI checkpoints in black neighborhoods, when white neighborhoods with higher DUI rates are not targeted. And so on.

Maybe DonDiego should join Black Lives Matters in condemning the above. Or maybe he prefers it as a way to keep them in their place.

i. DonDiego has not "advocated" that police confront Black people disproportionately. He has "recognized" that they are likely to encounter Black people disproportionately, because they are involved in criminal activities disproportionately. PERIOD.
DonDiego requests, again, forkushV cite an instance where DonDiego has advocated for police confrontations with anyone. [So far DonDiego's earlier similar requests have resulted in no legitimate response from forkushV; poor old DonDiego lives on hope.]

i.a. DonDiego has not commented on police stopping anyone driving.
i.b. DonDiego has not commented on police stopping/frisking anyone.
i.c. DonDiego has not commented on police confronting anyone open-carrying in an open-carry State.
i.d. DonDiego has not commented on any police DUI checkpoint policies...

So in spite of appearances, you're real response to the above is "no comment." Wow, you're a real profile in courage!

---

So, DonDiego requests that forkushV support his claim that DonDiego has "advocated for police confrontation with anyone."...

Pearlguy would like to "Thank" Don Diego for his logical rationale shown on this board over the many years he has visited here. DD's approach to life (interspersed with a great sense of humour) have always been a refreshing source of inspiration that not everyone in the world is a moron (?).

Logical, analytical, critical, rational and unbiased thinking seems to be disappearing process in today's world.

Pearlguy would honoured to buy DD a beer sometime if we are both in Vegas at the same time. I would relish the opportunity to "chit-chat" about life with a person who apparently understands the phrase:
"Ya can't fix stupid !"

Good health and best wishes to you and Teechur. Thanks again!

Amazing how the the media goes for a week about Trump calling a fat lady fat, but ignores her comments.

I'm pretty sure the only word you know from her statement is "basement." Here is a bit more, and by the way, Bernie agrees completely:

"Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement. They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future.

If you’re feeling like you’re consigned to, you know, being a barista, or you know, some other job that doesn’t pay a lot, and doesn’t have some other ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing."

I think we all should be really understanding of that." - Hillary Clinton
