***** wow. Go ahead and read the manifesto of the South Carolina shooter, it's available online. No joke, he makes the same points as you. Very telling. Your argument (a straw-man fallacy) of having a hispanic/black niece and bi-racial family - is irrelevant, and doesn't make you an expert, your argument doesn't give a counter-argument, just hostile tones and ad-hominem attacks against ***** Nobody said anything about leaving other ethinicities in the cold. No stereotypes are used in most of the equality arguments, we can use statistics to show there is inequality, especially in the southern states. IMHO We are all striving for equality, we should be able to acknowledge the areas that are unfair and have civil discussions, not name calling. Bring valid points to the table of ideas, otherwise you just embarrass yourself and you only prove some validities to the argument, at least acknowledge that it is an argument worth having.

[@arthurhogan8849]

The Creature from the Seventh Chamber : Okay, but, what is it you don't agree with him on?? Be specific, please. This cat, Dr. West is a huge intellectual, yet speaks in down to earth lingo style. You really don't have a problem keeping up with issues being discussed; unlike Dr. Eric Tyson ( by the way ' didn't know Dr. West was his mentor). Dr. Dyson speaks in lofty images, sometimes too shrouded in historical analyses before landing on the subject matter; in other words, displaying his intellectual chops for all to know when listening to him. He does this no matter where he's appearing, News Networks, talk shows what ever. It's the only thing I wish he would leave off of. We can read this aspect of his greatness when there is more time to digest the point he's making. Dr. West does the same thing but we are better able to follow the point being made. Tim Wise speaks with the same tone, shall we say, though he could go off on a lofty tangent as well if he wanted to. Not putting him in the same class as these two giants, but, I'm not so sure. These cats have been at it a long, long time. Kudos, and thanks to all three of them.

I mean that Bernie Sanders should be more outspoken about Israels behavior. Maybe he simply isn't knowledgeable about the history there. Do the people of the occupied territories have a right to self defense? This issue is extremely difficult, each side has blood on their hands, but it shouldn't be ignored because it isn't a sexy election issue, it needs to be addressed.
