They don't see having anything in common with minorities---a white middle class person is privileged. The white middle class person will have a Blue Lives Matter flag, a minority person will have a Black Lives Matter flag.....how does that equal commonality?
You asked a question, and I answered it. You responded to my answer with some nonsensical, unrelated commentary. I can't see the point you're trying to make.

There you go with the disingenuous stereotyping again. Just say some people will have a blue lives matter flag and some may have a black lives matter flag, and a whole bunch of people don't feel the need to wave any damn flag. There is no inherent reason anyone can't have either flag, both flags or none at all. Needlessly divisive, you are.

It's not divisive, it is factual. Most White Middle Class Americans support the police. Probably why minority areas should not be policed.

There's quite a few macho Latinos, and for some reason some blacks cotton to Trump, but for the most part minorities know that the Republican party is bad sauce.

Well, I'd say that we've plunged the depths of this thing's racist logic capacity as we are now back to the title of its other thread.

How is this not completely racist and ban worthy?
It's not racist, it's factual. Minority areas should not be policed. It would save money and lives for all races involved. Minority areas should have defunded police, I personally don't care.

Whites shouldn't care about defunding police, because whites will not allow defunding of police in their neighborhoods---only white liberal areas would.

It's facts. Why should we as a nation continue this charade? Cops don't belong in minority areas. Cops don't have a good track record there. If I am a cop, especially a white cop, I want no part of minorities, none, not even colleagues.

For a few seconds I thought you were one those people in society that are sometimes assumed as one type of person, but in reality are a different type of person due to poor social skills. But the more we interact with you the more it seems as if you are one of the following:

* You are a person with poor social skills (not many friends), who is 12 or bellow (the sign up age of this website is 18), still learning in school, and somehow found this website and decided to create an account to ask questions. <---If this is you do not worry, in fact if you tell us this, we might actually be more understanding as you might really know how politics works.
* You live in a MSM (blackout/no service area) bedroom community (like Parhumph, Nevada) of a large city (like Las Vegas), where the only news outlets on air are Fox, Oann, and Newsmax. However, at the same time you are a normal person with sense, its just that those being your only news source is taking a toll on you.
* You are just trolling, and you know the answers, but you yourself as a real person actually support BLM and Biden. <-- We actually have had a lot of trolls fall into this category, where when they get tired eventually come out and tell the real truth. I remember "ShortyLikens", (does anyone know what happened to them while I was away from the forums for like a year), informing me about a troll under this category once via PM.
* You are actually a Trumpanzee, just trying to get us worked up over your antiques.

So which one are you?
Mix of 1 and 3...but I am a moderate, this is a discussion thread to discuss, so what is wrong with discussing this? I work with a lot of Latino men, and they are all MAGA. That's why.
So you admit that you are an underage troll in this forum? Then again you said you are a mix of 1 and 3, what parts more specifically of 1 and 3?

I'm not a teen, I am an 30-something year old man......I am a moderate, I do not like the Democrats' hard left turn on crime and immigration, I voted for Biden in 2020 and I am leaning towards RFK right now...

If white middle class support the police so much how do you explain Jan6?

To a lot of Latino and Black men, the economy matters too. The President of the United States is seen as the head of the economy and people blame gas prices, supply chain shortages, inflation, economy on the president, even if this is beyond the president's control.
It you said minority men don’t care about the right to vote so why would it matter to them who they support?

White middle class people are hypocrites.....the same white middle class Karens that screeched "Back the Blue" are the same ones that went to the stupid rally.

One thing I like about Biden is that he does not hang around corrupt cop unions anymore, a lot of them were at the Jan 6 thing.

So you are admitting your previous assertion was complete bullshit.

Thank you

You should not forget the power of white middle class Americans---they decide elections, they love cops. Look how they go to cop funerals and they adore the cops---you can't dismiss that even if they are hypocritical.
Even some black middle class people too----you can criticize the cops tactics, but BLM's rhetoric towards them have made white middle class America angry.....yes they are hypocrites, but they don't see it that way

The same white middle class that supports tax cuts for the rich and attacks capital police. All brainwashed by right wing propaganda

1) Who won't want to be rich? People don't usually want to in the same economic situation they are in
2) A lot of white middle class people are crazy, they decide elections and if this economy is not firing on all cylinders by September 2024, it's going to be 2016 2.0.

Didn’t college the issue. Tax cuts for the rich don’t help the white middle class. Great obfuscation. Trump didn’t do anything for the white middle class yet Dems have the problem?

I think you mean Dems have got to get better at lying to white people as Republicans
