Bullshit! maybe she as a woman wanted to see a woman win and she thought the party didn't do enough and this was the best chance for a woman to be president. The vote for McCain thing was done by Bernie Bros and is just done by those being irrational about their guy losing DT, some of your posting ...

Maybe Trump's 'stable genius' qualities and behaviours, that many of us think make him generally unsuitable for the presidency, created the required urgency on both sides of the Korean border (and in China) to make sincere progress. We roll our eyes at Trump's tweets etc but maybe in this case his e...

Maybe the deadlock in the Korean Peninsula needed a Trump-shaped key.

Open carry by African-Americans interests me, and I would like to know more about it beyond the one-off police reaction videos - how comfortable they feel doing it, white/police reaction to it - anybody got any links that study this?

Tschussie

Gender also plays a role - 'take a step back, take a step back' - you have to compare how two male police officers would react to a black female rather than a black male in this situation. Would they have handcuffed a white male etc? They clearly do not feel threatened. That said, the police all ove...

According to DT that is standard OP for cops in America when confronting anyone of darker hue .... African-Americans know not to speak out of turn in that situation. Yeah, right. True. That was a wild generalisation but I can understand the sense of injustice they might feel when watching this vide...

I have experience working in the wealthiest and poorest towns in Ireland.

My gut instinct would be Yes. Suspicion of Driving (a nice car) While Black.

Edit: window down but I presume she only rolled it down to talk to police as it looked a grey, ugly morning. My gut was wrong.

http://abc7ny.com/traffic/video-shows-port-authority-officials-rant-at-police/3388343/ She lost her job as commissioner but I mean this is stuff minorities only dream about, the way she talked to those cops.

It’s power, they had to tread lightly- there’s always the slim chance their career could be over if their boss didn’t back them 100%. She announced straight away who she was and put the fear in them. I think with conversations being recorded that it put them much more at ease than they would have b...

If that woman was a posh nobody she’d have got the ‘black American’ treatment. Does this mean you don't believe black people are treated differently by the police? No, that’s not what I said. A commissioner would be treated like that black or white. OK. I think I understand - you meant in the part ...

Does this mean you don't believe black people are treated differently by the police?

Tschussie

That’s not white privilege, it’s privilege. The cops handled it well, didn’t back down, took the car and reported her. It's a mixture of race and class. Do you believe that an African-American professional would have been treated with the same tolerance? Decades of evidence makes me think that the ...

Tschussie

Because most of the bored isn't American, why you think the rest of the world would be interested in an American traffic violation that you're trying to turn into an American race issue is beyond me :? If you acknowledge that you don't have an interest in American society to this degree then why be...

Tschussie

It's not a straight up race issue as class is also involved. Poor white people would generally not be afforded such tolerance by the police officers either. However, it is difficult to imagine a well-spoken black professional getting away with that shit without being handcuffed by "take a step back,...

They seemed a little too insistent that nobody outside of law enforcement was of any assistance whatsoever. Time will reveal more but I am suspicious.

I think your tone was actually pretty clear. In hindsight, I may have had an opinion I wanted to air and was on the lookout for somewhere to wedge it.

Is this another ABs tactic to stay at the top - like forcing opposition players to hang around getting cold and demotivated during the Haka - will tacklers be blinded by flashes of colour upon contact?

Very interested to see how this will look during a game, could be really cool.

There must be plenty of money spent behind the scenes that has no real value in terms of soft power, tourism etc.
