Honestly this is so boring.

If i could handle things my way i'd give to the black people living in U.S a state for their own. Only thing would be : " you can't leave now". Let them governate themself and handle themself.
That way they will not cry about racism or whats not

True, sending them to live in a prison state doesn't sound like racism at all.

It's amazing how we dismiss shyte like "meh". We're so dismissive of the problems we create, and not only that, we go a step further and blame the victim of our actions for the outcomes.

Their entire life and history is the issue at hand.

Here here for the first part. Occupy wall-street were a start, but the elites knew the importance of putting them down quickly, to keep the financial oligarchies safe.

As for the second part, the riots you are seeing on the streets are not simply about this kid, it's much much deeper than that.

Did you not see the footage released today of the 12 year old kid shot down and killed by police for having a pea-shooter gun?
It was a VERY realistic looking gun, with the orange markings removed. I was taught as a child to NEVER EVER point a fake gun at ANYONE, especially a Police Officer for this very reason. It's absolutely 100% a tragic, hoirrible accident, but it was just that.

The gun:

prison state? wow. Cause letting them live in ghettos all around is cool right?
At least if you give them a land whatever happens it's on their shoulders and they wouldn't blame a racist state.

Sounds like an opportunity to be a leader, Andrew.
Perhaps one day the opportunity will arise.

I hope civilized part of the world, Russia and China will soon realize the threat these radical Jewish and white anglo-saxon people possess to world peace. Black and Yellow people are the reformist. They should be supported against extremist groups such as national guard. A military coup is the ideal solution. Mexican minority should be in power as that is the best way keep these radicals in check.
A military coup by the illegals/Mexican Americans trying to take over the people that essentially give them amnesty and freebies. Sounds like a great plan, Fecal ISIStard.

Occupy Wall Street was not a start at all. Those folks wanted to increase taxes on essentially everyone and increase government regulation. But what they don't realize is that the banking industry is already highly regulated, ever since the Great Depression. The Federal Reserve is supposed to regulate the select few banks they deal with on a daily basis, along with the Treasury Department, despite the fact they all need each other to survive? It's a massive circle jerk, yet the Occupy lot think that increasing regulatory powers will change the name of the game. So no, it wasn't a start, the Occupy folks are socialists/communists who don't see a problem with big government. They're 'tards as well as far as I'm concerned.

is that the motto of ISIS?
:lol:

It's that along with, 'Viva Mexico, Si Se Puede!"

That's a great idea because the hundreds or so black people rioting in Ferguson are an exact representation of all black in the entire US. Just TurkBiancanero is an exact representation of the entire turkish people.

Anyone see the nice piece written by New Orleans Saints Tight End Bejamin Watson?

At some point while I was playing or preparing to play Monday Night Football, the news broke about the Ferguson Decision. After trying to figure out how I felt, I decided to write it down. Here are my thoughts:

I'M ANGRY because the stories of injustice that have been passed down for generations seem to be continuing before our very eyes.

I'M FRUSTRATED, because pop culture, music and movies glorify these types of police citizen altercations and promote an invincible attitude that continues to get young men killed in real life, away from safety movie sets and music studios.

I'M FEARFUL because in the back of my mind I know that although I'm a law abiding citizen I could still be looked upon as a "threat" to those who don't know me. So I will continue to have to go the extra mile to earn the benefit of the doubt.

I'M EMBARRASSED because the looting, violent protests, and law breaking only confirm, and in the minds of many, validate, the stereotypes and thus the inferior treatment.

I'M SAD, because another young life was lost from his family, the racial divide has widened, a community is in shambles, accusations, insensitivity hurt and hatred are boiling over, and we may never know the truth about what happened that day.

I'M SYMPATHETIC, because I wasn't there so I don't know exactly what happened. Maybe Darren Wilson acted within his rights and duty as an officer of the law and killed Michael Brown in self defense like any of us would in the circumstance. Now he has to fear the backlash against himself and his loved ones when he was only doing his job. What a horrible thing to endure. OR maybe he provoked Michael and ignited the series of events that led to him eventually murdering the young man to prove a point.

I'M OFFENDED, because of the insulting comments I've seen that are not only insensitive but dismissive to the painful experiences of others.

I'M CONFUSED, because I don't know why it's so hard to obey a policeman. You will not win!!! And I don't know why some policeman abuse their power. Power is a responsibility, not a weapon to brandish and lord over the populace.

I'M INTROSPECTIVE, because sometimes I want to take "our" side without looking at the facts in situations like these. Sometimes I feel like it's us against them. Sometimes I'm just as prejudiced as people I point fingers at. And that's not right. How can I look at white skin and make assumptions but not want assumptions made about me? That's not right.

I'M HOPELESS, because I've lived long enough to expect things like this to continue to happen. I'm not surprised and at some point my little children are going to inherit the weight of being a minority and all that it entails.

I'M HOPEFUL, because I know that while we still have race issues in America, we enjoy a much different normal than those of our parents and grandparents. I see it in my personal relationships with teammates, friends and mentors. And it's a beautiful thing.

I'M ENCOURAGED, because ultimately the problem is not a SKIN problem, it is a SIN problem. SIN is the reason we rebel against authority. SIN is the reason we abuse our authority. SIN is the reason we are racist, prejudiced and lie to cover for our own. SIN is the reason we riot, loot and burn. BUT I'M

ENCOURAGED because God has provided a solution for sin through the his son Jesus and with it, a transformed heart and mind. One that's capable of looking past the outward and seeing what's truly important in every human being. The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It's the Gospel. So, finally, I'M ENCOURAGED because the Gospel gives mankind hope.

:tup:

I mean it's absolutely disgusting what happens in Ferguson, but it is by no means a represantation of not even the majority of African Americans. Ther's still a lot of peaceful protesting going on as well btw, with a much higher number of people involved than in the looting, just doesn't get covered that much. That of course is understandable given the outragousness of the riots, but it shouldn't be forgotten or left out of the discussion.

The financial and banking industry used to be tightly regulated from the Great Depression and Roosevelt onwards, with more regulations following at Bretton Woods in 1944, but from the 1970es onwards basically everything that was set in place back then was scrapped.

But that's when stuff like the FDIC, repeal of Glass-Steagal (which was sold as increasing regulation, funny enough) and Dodd Frank Act came about. Also, the Federal Reserve has complete control over pretty much every facet of the industry and the economy anyway with their monetary policy.

The Glass-Steagal Legislation was one of the legislative regulations that were step by step weakened until being abolished or repealed completely.
Another example would be the legislation concerning bank mergers, which was heavily loosened in that period as well, culminating in the Neal-act in the 1990es and leading to the creating of all these "Too big to fail" banks. Together with scrapping the seperation between commercial and investment banks that Glass-Steagal provided of course.

Similar acts passed in the UK, and later in other European states as well.

Another huge problem remains the trade of derivatives on OTC markets, which, by definition is virtually not regulated by any authority. 90% of all traded derivatives are traded Over The Counter, and the total volume of OTC derivatives amounts to around $700 trillion dollars. When it comes down to it, they're purely tools of financial speculation without much usefullness for the real economy. They do however destabilise the financial system and institutions to a significant extent, not to speak of the huge fraudulent potential of these activites.
