The democrats want to elect Joe Biden. Let that sink in. He and Obama had 8 years to initiate police reform and improve race relations. What happened?

The Democrats aren't very smart. They'll do something like nominate Hillary Clinton as his running mate, and then not be able to figure out why they lost again.

For any XU fans in and around LA, this seems like a very ominous turn of events:

Not sure that this is a good idea...

Saw one from a highly recruited black football player that said how he hated white people and that white people are trash. No one is pulling his offers.

Well, the Xavier cross country recruit has power and makes the rules in society. A black football player, on the other hand, is oppressed.

The Police Dept. will not only see a 43%-48% increase in their budget next year instead of the instead of a 56% increase.

"The Los Angeles Police Department was set to receive a large increase in its annual budget from $1.189 billion last year to $1.86 billion (most of the budget increases were for new police bonuses) for 2020-2021 before Garcetti axed that move Wednesday, cutting $100-$150 million"

It seems to me that the large gatherings that are still occurring, might not be if 40 million weren't out of work.
If you had to get up to, or were at, work, it would (I think) have dissipated by now.

Ingraham is an idiot. As is Owens (why is someone quoting her?). The Brees struggle session today is pretty amusing, though.

Would be interesting to see how they handle someone of an opposite race that says the same things or if he was a star incoming basketball player. Kid seems like he needs some guidance and said some really stupid stuff and Xavier probably did what they had to, but would it be handled the same way if the kid wasn’t white? There is a lot of racist crap being thrown around by people of color right now toward white people. Saw one from a highly recruited black football player that said how he hated white people and that white people are trash. No one is pulling his offers.
