Why is it that I can have a group called 'the only good cop is a dead cop' and this doesn't violate any of Facebook's terms? It's clearly a hate group that is biased against an entire group of people. Aren't

"Since racism is systemic" You can't just say this without actual proof. The George Floyd killing was a tragedy, but not proof of systemic racism. On top of this, the officer involved (who actually knew George Floyd prior t

In my early 20s, I was making minimum wage. I only stayed at this job because it was comfortable and I didn't want to actually take a risk and go somewhere new. When I reached my mid 20s, the business folded and I was forced to find w

It will only 'heal divisions' if you are fair to everyone and do the right thing, instead of listening to demands of the mob. As an example, saying you want to murder conservatives, white people, the president, and anyone not prog

As long as the castle doctrine becomes federal law and we make it really easy for citizens to get a firearm to protect their families in every state. Wealthy activists, politicians, and movie stars have private security. They don't ca

At least here in the US, Amazon's power has brought a minimum of $15/hour to all warehouse jobs. You just can't get paid this much at smaller companies. Even if the law was for $15/hour, small businesses would go under

"You're conflating two very different things" I'm not confusing anything. Declaring that no other races are allowed in a specific area, is racist. It shouldn't matter if the group doing it is in the majority or mi
