Low expectations I guess, people don't expect a lot from our cops and army, the fact that "The Greatest country in the world" has these problems is what creates interest.

If you think that's a fictitious premise, then you have your head in the sand. Reddit is full of that rubbish.

Reddit is a distillation of crazy on both sides and it's dangerous to use it as a proxy for what an enttire groups, be it left or right.

On both sides? So you just don't use Reddit I assume. It's majority left. Don't pretend. Go look at the front page right now. Also it's a distillation of crazy, I agree. That's young lefties for you.
It's a good thing that craziness doesn't manifest itself in real life things like elections since most of them are too lazy to even vote.

Indeed, that woke politics can so easily be co-opted by big business speaks to how fundamentally unthreatening it is. In response to injustices like that which befell George Floyd, we are not expected to enter into a robust debate about how to improve the lot of those at the bottom rung of society. We are invited to share hashtags, mouth platitudes and signal our virtue. We’ve heard a lot in recent days about historical pain, but precious little about what comes next.

This virtue-signalling is no threat to the rich and powerful. It costs them nothing. Which is at least part of the reason why they’ve embraced it with such glee

Why is Ben & Jerry’s lecturing us about 'white supremacy'?

When this chapter in America’s history of its struggle against racism is written, two names will stand out among all the others: Ben and Jerry. Or at least that seems to be what the ice-cream company hopes, given the somewhat bizarre statement that it issued this week. In response to the brutal...

Lol. This is just ridiculous.

So what are you saying? The crime stats are BS in order to make Black people look bad?
All the blacks people in prison, aren't really there?

That you pulled from your nether regions. I am just saying for people so obsessed with that one Stat I would've at least expected some debate around that issue. Cops planting evidence on blacks and openly talking about it amongst each other as if it's normal surely should be a massive red flag.

There are plenty of dark corners on reddit that are right-leaning.... However they do tend to congregate on 4-chan rather than reddit, was using reddit as a proxy for self re-inforcing online communities.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued on Tuesday that Nike's recent decision to make former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick the face of the sports apparel company's "Just Do It" campaign is an attack on the US and will ultimately lead to the destruction of American society.

Yeah, because Tucker was so sympathetic to non-violent protests.... He's not wrong that the violence is deplorable but it's more than a little hypocritical for him to be wringing his hands now when he dismissed those protests a couple of years back.

Perhaps looks at socio-economic data rather than skin colour? Or are you suggesting that black people are genetically predisposed to commit crime or do you think that there are socio-economic and societal factors at work? Do you think a black man raised with a middle class upbringing in the suburbs is also that much more inclined to commit crime than his white compatriots?

Why do people always take the lazy (and racist route) by saying "blacks commit more crime" as opposed to"saying "working class poor people in sh*tty areas with bleak futures commit more crime"
