I know we have always had problems, violence, racists etc, but at 57 years of age, I have never ever seen the craziness that we see now. Something is seriously wrong with people.

You and I are old enough to remember a time in the South when there were still separate bathrooms and water fountains. How quickly that changed and by the 70's racial relations seemed to have overcome the centuries of division. After Reagan got in office and the war on drugs heated up under Bush things have been slowly tilting back in the other direction. In the last 2 or 3 years it appears to have gotten drastically worse.
Is that how you remember things being and how it is now?
Just curious about your perception.

Ya white folk could stop shooting up schools and other public schools. Also stop killing each other at such high rate. White people kill white people 86% of the time. Kinda puts that 93% number we always toss on about black people into some context huh?

Explain what, it's a supremest group, all of them are crazy just about. This guy's message is just as looney as the rest of them, like the KKK member that killed three people. What he is saying is no different than that Ku Klux Klan member.
AND it's a video on YouTube, where even if we don't like it, they too have a platform. Just got to filter that junk out.

Not meet hate with more hate. Not trying to be all lovey dovey but hate with hate doesn't do anything but fuel the fire. I don't have an end all solution just don't see the point of letting one video of some ignorant racist person get to us. To me he is just taking advantage of a situation to try ans act like something he is not. Why give him the time of day?
The European Commission says it has not yet been officially confirmed to them that Italy has temporarily reimposed border controls, writes Justin Huggler in Berlin. "We can't confirm it has happened," Milica Petrovic, press officer for migration, home affairs and citizenship, said. "We can't comment on it until we get confirmation it has happened." She said she was "not aware" of a case where one member state had reimposed border controls at the request of another before, or of a case where they were reimposed because of migrants, but that she would have to check.

Why does there have to be an agenda involved? Can't we just call the guy in the video an ignorant racist and move on?
Other cities in which homicide rates have increased, though to a lesser extent, include Chicago (294 against 244), Dallas (83 against 71), Kansas City (54 against 45), New Orleans (120 against 98), New York (208 against 190), Philadelphia (171 against 165).
Seizing Illegal Guns Has Little Bearing On Homicide Numbers.
Officials blame the rise in homicides on the abundance of illegal guns on the streets, but federal crime data appears to debunk that theory.
The victims also included a 5-month-old boy and a 53-year-old grandmother, a teen stabbed to death in a dispute over a cell phone and a carryout deliveryman killed in a robbery.

That we give them social programs?
Your point is that they are not paid enough right?
I would somewhat agree but they also have the safety nets there for those that need it.
