Ferguson Solution

Well, ideally you have something like 20% lower class, 75% middle class, and 5% ultra upper class (that doesn't comprise more than everything below it).

But, our society, where the top 2% owns 95% (or something) of the wealth in the United States. So even though our middle class is the best in the world, our lower class is getting bigger and that middle class is shrinking, because the top 2% doesn't know when enough is enough. For over a century, the ultra rich had a strong sense of what they could get away with to keep the peasants happy and producing for them. Lately, they seem to be losing sight of that balance and soon it will likely topple (IMO).

There is no way several HUNDREDS of people are billionaires, yet millions live with $20,000 or less annual income. It's a recipe for disaster.

A billion's not what it used to be. :laughing
 
Clearly. But the bottom 20% are still living like it's 1989...

You know what I am talking about and it is going to be a massive problem in the coming years. The US of A is getting long in the tooth and all great empires have generally fallen around 100-150 years. Not because of outside threats, but because they outgrew, then toppled on themselves.

Our biggest issues will be infrastructure, corporate america's size and influence, political machines with no purpose other than to feed the former, and the separation of wealth.

Kinda cool that I'll get to see it in my lifetime.. ;)

I don't normally speak on how, "the black people feel " and to do so and say we think you are an idiot would violate the terms on BARF so we can’t call you an idiot - certainly I can't on this forum... Please identify the post where I said the jury was racist. To be clear – I have not said that being tried by a jury of 12 is racist. I have not hinted, suggested, implied, nor intimated the Grand Jury in this case was racist. And I am very sure that I was clear when I said,

Your responses indicate either 1) you don’t pay fuck!ing attention or 2) you are a troll.

:facepalm

I can't hold a debate with somebody that has no reading comprehension. I ask you how to solve the issue of people viewing a jury of 12 as racist, and what it could be replaced with that is not racist in their minds. Then you go off on a tangent about how to solve racism. A person bearing an average IQ or better would see that your answer implies that you think the process was racist. If you can't comprehend a simple question, I don't know what to say. I could think of an elaborate way to call you a name without violating TOS back I suppose, but it is not worth my time.

Also in case you haven't noticed, the vast majority of protesters are black. I guess that is racist of me to point out :rolleyes

I have had a few debates with Nahullo in the past and dude has always been pretty legit if you ask me, even if we don't always agree on things.

It is not about acting white as much as meeting the norms of society. If you have an employer that is trying to portray a professional atmosphere, regardless of somebody's race, the person wearing a business suit is much more likely to get the job than the guy with saggy pants, the guy with tatoos running up his neck, or the goth guy with black makeup and piercings on his face.

It doesn't matter if it is a job interview, or out on the street. If gangsters dress a certain way, and you wear their uniform, then guess what people are going to think about you. Everybody makes judgements about people based on looks, including racial minorities.
