Do u believe Donald Trump is to blame for the recent shootings in the US ? 🤔

As it stands today. It appears that Trump has emboldened these White Nationalists to commit these acts of terror. The recent events in our world today says everything. You saw the shootings in Texas and Ohio. White Nationalism, or nationalism from any ethnic group or race is the problem here. If we do not call it for what it is this tragedy will never end. Something needs to be done. But these racist comments from Trump must end. What do you think. 😐

I disagree. People are being pushed to the breaking point, and the extremists are the first to start fighting back because they are extremists. Thousands die a year, including far too many innocent children, from gang violence, and general crime, and no one blinks an eye. If you ask me, that is the real racism. No one seems to care about poor black people in gang ridden cities, they focus on a couple of nutty white guys. None of the 'woke folk' cared about the border crisis until they saw an opportunity to start a totally false 'racism narrative', because some overworked border workers were trying to keep crowds of Haitians from getting hurt by their horses.

@Oberon1 "Black on black crime" is a white nationalist talking point. The reality is that you are more likely to be victimized by a criminal of your own race, regardless of what race you are. None of the conservatives crying crocodile tears over the poor black children ever mention "white on white crime," even though it exists and is far more prevalent.

You don't really care about "poor black people in the gang ridden cities," you're just using them as a cudgel to hit liberals with. After it peaked in the early 1990s, violent crime has been going down and is now lower than it was in the 1960s and 1970s.

I thought the border narrative with you people was how the ICE agents are doing "God's work." Now they're trying to keep their horses from hurting the Haitians. OK.

@Lila15 No. It's thousands of people dying each year while being ignored by the real "racists".

@Lila15 Violent crime is going down? What jungle do you live in? The last two years were record highs in my home city.

@Baremine That Lightfoot person started that BS, by cooking the books. It is a completely ridiculous spin.

@Oberon1 You disagree because you're an old White male. Now let's pretend Trump is Obama. Your tune changes quickly. I don't believe you. 🙂

Zonuss · 41-45, M

@Oberon1 Thats somewhat true. But that's the Black Community's responsibility. You should worry about your own children who are overdosing daily on opioids and fetanyl daily. And doing meth.

@Zonuss You are mistaken. I disagree because of a real odd situation that involves thousands of black people being killed by black people every year and when a .00000000002% are killed by police or a couple of white idiots, the country goes nuts. There is an obvious problem there, and it is because of the real racists who don't shed a tear for innocent children, but burn their own businesses down over some chronic criminal who got himself shot by police. The scale is unbalanced. When you consider the fact that the killers represent around 6% of the population of the United States, the scale becomes really unbalanced. It is time to wake up and smell the cordite!
