The japanese imo were nowhere near treated as badly as black people in the us. The concentration camp era, while not america’s best moment, only lasted for a period of 4 years, whereas racism towards african americans lasted from the 1600s to the 1960s. If you watch a movie such as django unchained, you’ll see how cruelly slaves were treated, from being castrated to killed illegally. Japan quickly become one of the us’ best allies after and the mistreatment of the japanese ended really quickly. It’s not america’s best movement, but it was a necessity as the japanese were enemies of the us and the general public would have mistreated them during the war. But at the same time tho, the italians and germans in the us weren’t really forced into concentration camps so there was definitely some unfairness to the japanese americans. You are right. Black people should not be treated specially from other races. But a lot of the situation with police brutality towards black people in general exists from the fact that people are stuck living in ghettos as a result of the racism in the past and have very little to no way of moving up in society. It’s really a bad situation for everyone in the united states. That and since the elections are upcoming, tensions seem to be at their maximum. Whether or not george floyd was suffocated like that, it was extremely wrong to have a person pinned down to the ground with a knee, especially if there were 3 other police officers nearby. Not to mention the cop who indirectly killed george floyd had a record for being extremely abusive and violent. Burning and rioting is never the answer I agree. But police brutality is a huge issue in the united states. Police brutality doesn't exist on a systemic level. Maybe the police was unprofessional, but generally they aren't biased to shoot more black people. The reason black people are disproportionately shot by police is because black people commit crimes at a disproportionately higher rate too. Study even found that white police officers are slightly more likely to shoot a white person than a black person in the same scenario, and black cops shoot black people at a higher rate while white cops.
The point is, I don't believe racial bias exist at a systemic level in police department. Some cops are bad, brutal, and racist. I agree, but the overwhelming majority of them aren't, they're one of the finest people in the US risking their lives to protect the country.
Very true. Statistically, black people cause disproportionally more crime than people of other races. Its largely a byproduct of racism in the past that they do. Very true again. Police don’t systematically target black people and abuse them more. And the likeliness of shooting a white person over a black person I can definitely see why, because of the bad press that killing a black person would cause due to racial tension. I doubt the guy who killed george floyd was a racist. He was probably just very violent and aggressive police officer. Again its due to the racism in the past that the media overexaggerates occurences like this and that is why we have riots. |

And the baidu forums have been under attack this year. WC3 almost got taken and we won it back. Some turbulence in WC4 but safe after all. EW6 is now under enemy control. You either post with the picture of an actor that everyone hates or have your thread deleted. No threads about games alive for almost 3 weeks. They have blacklisted over 20k members. Only 2k left and we have no idea how many of these accounts are controlled by the enemies.
Baidu is ****. They don't care about the forums at all because they are not as profitable.

Between a global pandemic and inspiring activism, 2020 has already had its share of life-changing moments — but the stars are just getting warmed up. Tomorrow, n December 21, a rare alignment between Jupiter and Saturn, also known as the Great Conjunction is set to shake things up politically, socially, and in your personal life as well. It only happens once every 20 years, so what happens now will have ripple effects for decades to come. It will be the closest conjunción since 163x. If that sounds intense, that’s because it is. Fortunately, it’s the kind of intensity you can use to make big, positive changes in your life. After a year of impossible challenges, this cosmic sync-up is reason to be cautiously optimistic about the future! |

Discussions about test grades reminds me of my Alg I regents test. I got a 90, probably would've gotten 100 if I didn't accidentally do all the graphs in pen when I wasn't supposed to. I got yelled at for that 90.

It seems that 2020 will be a bad year, guys. Starting this january, we have now 3 worldwide bad events. Us-iran tension, novel corona virus outbreak, and our legend kobe bryant died. if your nation have bad events, you can share it here. I've seen a meme that says "2020 is just the trailer for 2021" Let's hope not. |
