The governor of Texas said BLM terrrorist Micah X. left behind a manifesto.
Hopefully it will be released as quickly as Dylan Roof's manifesto was released to to the public.

It's only the last 2 years that it's really gotten this crazy, what the hell happened?

How in the sweet name of all that is Holy did this get boiled down to partisan talking points and finger pointing??? We have mixed Government, from both parties, and still are falling apart. We have some very nuanced and difficult problems that have nothing at all to do with political parties.
We have a militarized and highly fetishized police body in the US.
We have a cultural fetishization and obsession with guns and violence.
Arrest and conviction data does actually show racial disparity - something we keep failing to address.
We have wars on poverty and drugs that are just that - wars on our own population.
And the list of causation goes on and on.
But rather than fix the damn problems, we do this... Point the finger at the other, seeking to assign blame based upon identity politics.
A feel good move that won't fix a single thing.

Your side is constantly demonizing Muslims, BLM and other minority groups and then spin it to "The Liberals are causing this".
AGAIN...how does that work?
I'm totally disgusted by the Liberals and Democrats creating such racial hatred in this country that is now costing lives of innocent police officers across the country. I know they make mistakes and that some police officers may be racist but this crap is obnoxious and our media and the Democrats should be held accountable for this crap.
Every chance these Neo Liberals get to call people racist, xenophobic, Islamaphobic and any other term they can think of they do it. Now the racial hatred is so bad in this country people are bursting out in anger every chance they get.
All this to get votes. It's sickening.
To me this is unbelievable nonsense and it has to have a stop put to it. Cut the crap.
That is all.

I definitely agree that the racial hatred in your country, or in fact no...the class hatred which can then be subdivided, is horrible. I don't know who is promoting it more though.

It's not spin just listen to the news and check social media.
This is a liberal agenda to get votes. It's a commonly employed tactic by the Democrats to get votes.
Make the right look racist.

Conservatives have a tendency to speak in a bigoted manner.
Liberals have a tendency to act it out.

So wait your side constantly plays the narrative over and over again that certain minority groups in this country are violent and then somehow spin it into the Liberals are causing racial tensions?
How does that work?
To ignore the fact that there is a lot of violent crime in some black neighborhoods is only going to perpetuate this problem. I am sorry but if you walk through a white neighborhood at 3 AM and a black neighborhood at 3 AM you will have a different experience. I am not trying to demean black people, but there IS a problem. There is also a problem with cops shooting people. Some of these cops should NOT be cops. Until BOTH the police and the black community come clean with their violence problem, this is going to continue.
The jails are full of white killers and violent offenders.
