He just has that obnoxious personality that I find to be rather grating after a while. The only good thing about it if he were a conservaive is that I could take great pleasure in the fact that he'd be driving liberals up a wall.

My understanding is that Cenk used to be a conservative republican but had a "Road to Damascus" experience and switched sides before eventually joining the "Young Turks".
I've been on the road to Damascus several times and it didnt turn me into a liberal.

And you don't think I could mention any obnoxious arrogant liberals?

The right-wingers are the ones who create racial strife. They are the ones who repeatedly insist that American cops aren't racist. You create strife when you persistently deny obvious truths that you can't emotionally cope with. Conservatives see themselves as "race blind", but they are actually enabling racists by turning a blind eye to them.

It's harder for minorities.
Most people who "bootstrap their way out of property" are privileged whites.

Yes, these things keep liberalism alive because liberals want to solve these problems. Liberalism exists because it is needed.

You just keep telling yourself that.

From what I've heard cops say, including one relative who was a cop, is that cops are driven to be critical of certain races (one race in particular) by what they've had to deal with while on patrol in da hood. Some of these cops are of that same race.

Then why am I seeing so many middle class blacks and Hispanics? This isnt 50 years ago like you wish it were.

Yeah right.
They really want minorities to gain middle class status since they'll be more likely to vote republican.

Don't be dense.
Flies stuck on fly paper is symbolic of the left's tearfully futile situation of having Trump as president and sh*****g on the fly paper is symbolic of a last act of defiance, which in this case is attacking statues.

Yes I'm sure the popular rise of the alt-right has nothing to do with race (BTW how is life burying your head in the sand)
Give me a break
The rise of the alt right is a small bump in the road at best and is invisible to most. This is not a repeat of the rise of Nazi Germany like your kind makes it out to be and secretly wishes it were so you'd have one more thing to be outraged over.

I thought the election of Trump was the main instigator for leftist agitation?

What happened to Germany in the 1930s was a tragedy. It was a far more enlightened and progressive society back then compared to what the US is now. The average German was probably far more cultured than the boorish fools who believe everything the idiot box tells them about their "white" knight Trump. That doesn't bode well if there comes a tipping point.
I'm sure you're right.
America will go Nazi and take over the world. The Fuhrer Herr Trump will make me the Reichsprotektor of Australia and New Zealand.

Yeah my point is (or was) that the left is taking a stand against the emboldened alt-right who (inspired by Trump) are slowly creeping back into mainstream society. We have the same type lurking around Australia as well. While I don't support heir methods, groups like Antifa are like proverbial hammers to the alt-right worms coming out of the woodwork. I definitely support the principles of fighting intolerance.
And if the alt-right ever becomes numerous enough and gets all thier sh!t in one boot they could....how to put this delicately....eliminate groups like Antifa and any other opposition.
Something to consider...
