Hillary too drunk to concede?

1980 olympics 100 meter dash so white? Maybe a few 800 pound gorillas missing that year

Right. What surprised me about the website I linked was:
1) the number killed was 102 (out of 40,000,ooo black Americans)
2) how broad the ‘unarmed black man’ category is. I mean traffic accidents count? Pointing toy guns count? Perps dying from supposedly non leathal force while resisting arrest count? Reading the descriptions few seem to fit the ‘coalhouse walker’ innocent black guy meme I hear daily on NPR. It was an eye opener (I’m naive)how truly manufactured this ‘epidemic’ of police violence in the black community really is.

Off topic but part of the ‘narrative’: looking around for an exact number of unarmed black people killed by police I stumbled on this site that attempts to chronical exactly who those 102 unarmed black people were and how they died in 2015.

Don’t know who put this together, if it’s accurate or their ultimate agenda.
I did not bother to read all the 102 descriptions but looking at the first 20 I see:
2 were killed by their cop boy friend/girl friend
3 were killed accidentally by police cars responding to a crime
2 died of medical problems fighting cops
2 pointed toy guns
3 died trying to take gun
1 killed by security guard
1 died when he tried to take an off duty cops car at car wash. Oops.
Unfortunately the race of cop not supplied

Heard Rick on local npr a couple of months back. Migrant crisis? What migrant crisis! Europe needs young people! Besides you won’t even notice them, just step around the fake Gucci bags and trinket salesman. It’s vibrant! Rick has made himself rich ruining a few places, rue cler and cinque terre come to mind, but I’m sure there are others. Après lui le deluge. My fantasy is he gets mugged on camera infront of the pantheon by some vibrant immigrants yearning for a better life. But life is rarely just

“…but let me briefly offer the fact that when I was in New York in April 2002 for two weeks for reasons totally unrelated to geo-politics I spoke to at least five sophisticated educated people who had been looking at the Twin Towers when one or both of the aircraft flew into them. ”

Let me try and guess the names of your five eyewitnesses: Cheney, Rumsfeld, Myers, Pearl and Silverstein?

I was in Rome this last December. Noticed lots of walls and guards around the Vatican city. Also noticed what a great mosque Saint Peter’s cathedral will make.

I was watching CNBC and Brian Williams was interviewing a woman (Susan something) just back from France writing a book about anti-Semitism there. I think her message was that it was the ‘right wing groups’ who were to blame. Not that they fired the shots but their essential right-wingeyness caused it. I guess its like blacks in the US who do bad things because of white guys with gun racks, moslems in France do bad things because they feel France is not a safe space because of French guys who prefer a French France.

I live in Seattle. The black population of this city is around 8% with around 30% coming from Africa.

One thing to consider when using Seattle as the basis of any thesis is this city’s demographics have been changing rapidly. The African American middle class has been leaving Seattle for some time. This is not unique to Seattle, it was happening in San Francisco when I lived there too. Many employed blacks who cannot qualify for subsidized housing leave, forced out by gentrification. The remaining fraction might not average 94 IQ as quoted in this blog entry.

I found this article from last year discussing gentrification from the same newspaper whose report forms the basis of this blog entry:

http://blogs.seattletimes.com/fyi-guy/2014/11/12/as-seattle-gets-richer-the-citys-black-households-get-poorer/

While Seattle’s median household income soared to an all-time high of $70,200 last year, wages for blacks nose-dived to $25,700 — a 13.5 percent drop from 2012. Among the 50 largest U.S. cities, Seattle now has the ninth lowest income for black households.

Seattle, which has the largest black community in the Pacific Northwest, also lags the country as a whole. Nationally, black households have median earnings of $34,800 — 35 percent higher than Seattle.

While last year’s decline is particularly dramatic, black household wealth in Seattle has in fact been spiraling downward for years. Remarkably, the earnings were higher in 2000 than they are today, before adjusting for inflation: The 2000 household median was $32,000, equal to $44,800 in 2013 dollars.

Also, the rate of homeownership has dropped by nearly half since 2000. Today, just one out of five black households in Seattle own its home. (The census defines a black household as one in which the person identified on census forms as “householder” is black.)

As the article above indicates when read in full, the remaining blacks are poorer due to being 30 percent African immigrants and the loss of the black middle class to surrounding cities.
