Carcassonne.... we were supposed to visit there after our tour of England in 2018, but we got no further than London where Mrs, Brat went splat in the crypt at St. Paul’s, breaking her arm badly.

Our English friend who has a farm house in Chaillac had booked a hotel booked there for a couple of nights.

Once Coronavirus is over, I want to take a week in Paris, and then hit the Southwest, including Carcassonne.  I have heard the Southwest is absolutely stunning.  I have been to Uzes, which is Languedoc, but almost Provence, and it is absolutely GORGEOUS.  Texas hot in the summer too.

Racism is worldwide.  Here’s a newsflash.  Most ethnic groups are distrustful of those outside their ethnic group.  Blacks, whites, Asians, middle easterners, whatever.  It’s an age old problem and it isn’t going away anytime soon unfortunately.  Let’s not pretend it’s a new thing.  There are many many factors that go into perpetuating it including both sides of American politics for their political gain.

I used to think the same thing. It's never going to go away. It's all over. I know some think racism only exists in the south but that's far from the truth. New England area comes to mind. The old people will die off with their racism. But guess who raised their kids and then those kids raised their kids, etc. That shit rarely skips generations. Racism is learned from your environment. I do not believe kids are born racist. It's learned from family as they get older.  I have no idea how this will ever go away. Because the powers in place seem to be covertly and overtly racist to some form. And they keep passing that down.

Yeah, I was shocked at some of the language I heard in Columbus in 2005.  

And yes, racism is learned.  People aren’t born racist.

The Fulton County DA charged 6 Atlanta PD officers who tazed and pulled two black college students out of their car over the weekend. The college students did nothing wrong and were just in their cars slowly driving behind another car. That's a nice quick response to police brutality caught live. 

Atlanta Mayor and Chief of Police ain’t nothing to fuck with

Our society, the persistence of segregation within it, and the hierarchical nature of the messages it sends to our kids does a lot to teach them racism almost by osmosis.

sure she might be.  I just made the statement that I am sure she is hurting for herself and her daughter(regardless of what age she is). It has to be devastating.  the joy reid statement in the tweet was that the point his ex wife made was police brutality takes away black fathers, and then black people are scolded for having fatherless families.  

police brutality taking away fathers(meaning killing) isn't the issue with fatherless families.  there are about 1000 total police killings a year.

More than 400 people were awaiting arraignment in Manhattan criminal court Tuesday afternoon for allegedly looting stores Monday night — and most will likely be cut loose without bail because of the state law passed earlier this year, a court spokesperson said.

By 4 p.m., a majority of the 400 people arrested were awaiting arraignment and most will be hit with a felony burglary charge for which bail cannot be set, meaning they will be released, New York State Court spokesperson Lucian Chalfen said in an email...

 

...“But when it comes to a burglary, which is a commercial store, which is looting, they’re back out,” he said.

“Because of bail reform, you’re back out on the street the next day. You cannot be held on any sort of bail. I spoke to (Manhattan District Attorney) Cy Vance about that. He told me there was nothing he could do,” he added.

Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said at a press conference Tuesday morning that about 700 people were arrested during widespread looting in Manhattan and the Bronx....

Conflicting stories on social media about a peaceful protest that was just gassed by Lewisville PD.

You can draw your own conclusions once reading the social media posts. 

[Guadaloopy 10925]

We are all born with the tribal instinct to some degree.  It’s part of our evolutionary biology as a social species.  Like all instincts, it’s stronger in some than in others.   That instinct can be encouraged or discouraged.   Saying that racism is 100% a learned behavior ignores this.

Richmond police chief says rioters blocked firefighters from burning home with child inside - https://go.shr.lc/36YaTuf

Quote

“Last night, protesters intentionally set a fire to an occupied building on Broad Street,” Chief Smith told reporters Sunday. “This is not the only occupied building that has been set fire to over the last two days, but they prohibited us from getting on scene. We had to force our way to make a clear path for the fire department. Protesters intercepted that fire apparatus several blocks away with vehicles and blocked that fire department’s access to the structure fire. Inside that home was a child.

“Officers were able to—,” he said, pausing to regain his composure. “Officers were able to help those people out of the house. We were able to get the fire department there safely.”

After pausing again to gather himself, Chief Smith continued, “When you take a legitimate issue and hijack it for unknown reasons, that is unacceptable to me, it’s unacceptable to the Richmond Police Department, unacceptable to the city of Richmond. … We have people from across the country who have traveled many states to be here. We know that this is an organized effort. We’re committed to try and identify those that are behind it. And we’re doing our very level best to arrest those that are perpetrating the violence on our community, and our city, and our citizens.”

Why would felony burglary NOT go on your record?  The fuckers hitting last night caused tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage through either stolen items or pure vandalism.

Felony charges are nothing?

For everyone on this site that would be something pretty sinister.

I think the point of the story is that they aren’t held. Not that they won’t be prosecuted?

Or am I being daft?

IMO they won't adjudicate a bunch of those, but it is possible that they likely will get pleaded down to a misdemeanor just to avoid a bunch of court costs and backup.

I wonder if they can keep people who don't live in NYC.

Fuck that.  They should absolutely prosecute them, especially if they were caught red handed.  There cannot be no consequences to actions.  I would probably be a little less upset if this were not roving gangs of criminals doing this.  This shit last night had NOTHING to do with the protests.  The protests during the day have been very peaceful.  There was NO protest on Madison or E 63rd last night at 2AM.  Make stupid decisions, fuck you.

It's not a learned behavior.  It's instinctive.  It takes reasoning to overcome.  If that reasoning is engaged to overcome it.  It can be engaged to encourage it.

Stop with the taxing out of state workers shit. That is how things work in states with income taxes. I had to pay state taxes in tons of states when I was a consultant.

 

And the nursing home shit was a state decision and I believe a few others did it.

Yeah exactly.  Did you not read my last few posts?  It’s mostly manufactured bullshit.  I got into a fruitless pissing match with someone saying NYC and DC are terrible places to own a business because of this, shitting on it as a place to live and apparently you can get a 2+2 with private garden for $400k...so it’s just as good as bumfuck Dakota.  I’m on your side here.
