    Wow. Here is the money quote:

    "The president of the Baltimore City Council apologized for calling rioters “thugs” at a press conference Tuesday, calling those responsible for the violence “misdirected” youths."

    Not thugs, not criminals, but "misdirected youths." Which means any (white) property owner silly enough to shoot to protect his property would be mowing down sweet, innocent, church going, premed, misdirected youths and subject to the full force of law and public opinion, the latter removing any of that boring business of trials and such.

    Any white people stupid enough to go to Baltimore (let alone live there) have zero pity from me. The average IQ probably increases a measurable amount when they get capped.

    BREAKING: Freddie Gray Allegedly Had Spine Surgery Just One Week Before Arrest
    http://thefourthestate.co/2015/04/b...ad-spine-surgery-just-one-week-before-arrest/

    "It is reasonable to believe that the injuries Gray suffered after the arrest were not related to the police’s treatment of him at all. Spinal and neck surgery is a large ordeal, and doctors advise weeks of bed rest and taking it easy in order to not rupture the patient’s recently fused spine."

  4. I am afraid to tell you the truth but I imagine with a purely conservative agenda over the past 20 years most of you arch conservatives would be fenced into a concentration camp for the masses (together with your liberal brethren) while the top 1-2% would live in their own segregated, comfortable quarters knowing they can't be bothered by the poor pest anymore. You should actually be thankful that you have not been ringfenced and isolated along with all other people while at the same time being the subject of amusement to the few super rich.

    Did you seriously believe you can throw 20 different cultures into one pot and just move along and nothing will happen? The term integration never existed in the US. People were always left on their own or having to cling to their own kind. Did you honestly believe giving Indians alcohol and couple casino licenses would do the job? Or shipping in slaves, abusing them and their decendants for a few centuries and then just letting them dumb down in the inner cities will never boil over? Seriously? Or for that matter,are you also one of the riciculous poster boys who bows down before Netanyahu and grants him every wish while the same turns around and robs his neighbors any ability to live? You also think that that will not raise tensions? Well guess what, you should honestly be happy for your police state because the only difference is that those who are suppressed and kept on the bottom in the US have no access to rockets and missile while Palestinians do.

    You should spend more time to analyze the problem rather than sitting there and pretend the problem cam be simplified to left and right. But this is something I have been saying for a long time: Finally America wakes up and realizes it must think a little harder than watching Fox vs NBC.

  5. Can you point us to a credible source Of your below claim? I am not saying it is wrong but I find that absolutely unbelievable.

    By the way why are you talking about German education in the 1960s when the topic is on American racial tensions?

    I provided direct links in my post to my earlier posts which included the credible sources of research and government data for both the U.S. and German educational systems. Feel free to go read them.

  7. Dude, Your "51% of low income Americans gets a college education" sounds like a totally made up claim. You would not have "low income" if half it's people completed a college education.

    and couple other points where you are entirely wrong:

    * the number of Germans studying full time abroad and getting a degree abroad is incredibly small , so small they hardly appear in any statistic. The totally overwhelming majority of people (and I mean 98% or more) who attend university do so in Germany.

    * None of the vocational programs cause Germany to stay at or near the top. What an utter nonsense. In fact those on the job educational programs are a huge cost to companies, especially "Mittelstand" midsized family owned companies but also the likes of Volkswagen and BMW as well. It is the superior productivity, design capabilities, and willingness to innovate that keep many of the large but especially nitch corporations in Germany at or near the top.

    * There are NEVER limited admission slots in Germany. You make up bullshit. Admission to for many subjects us completely unregulated while admission to high in demand subjects like law, engineering , medicine, architecture is regulated by your GPA from high school. If you have a lower GPA and want to study medicine at university X but others with high GPAs also want to study medicine there then you have to either choose a different university that is in less demand or a different subject and switch later or you wait a year and through that move up in the waiting list.

    * University education in Germany is virtually free of charge. The country can't do more than that. If the lowest income decile (most among which are immigrants) choose to forgo a higher education then that's their choice. It's certainly not for lack of availability.

    * Maybe a lower rate among European countries and that for good reason: Germany is taking in more political and economic refugees than any other European nation. And certainly more than the US today, percentage wise.

    Please don't talk out of your ass without knowing the facts.

  8. none of your sources state that 51% of the American low income population attends/attended college. Attending for the sake of our discussion obviously means completing. The number itself makes zero sense.

  9. Agree but just realizing that means nothing. How convenient that your forefathers killed sufficient number of native Indians to make that "problem" almost disappear. A few casinos for them and their own bill of rights should do the trick juuuuust fine......

  10. You are the true loving, caring and law abiding citizen. Basically the American role model so to speak.

    Goodness, why do people like you get to carry guns? No wonder when the temperatures outside rise people like you go berserk. Jews at Wall Street , Washington DC and Silicon Valley and otherwise a nation of unrestrained red necks and minorities hating each other and blaming each other for society's ills.
