"some" white people hated a black president

You're welcome to post some stats showing how many white people "hated a black president" if you take issue with that language.

Disapproval ratings will likely be highest in lowly educated white counties, if I were to take a stab at guessing.

Disapproval ratings of a Democratic president in largely Republican areas is not a proxy for racism.

There were definitely some white people who didn't like having a black president, but there were also plenty of black people who got race baited by the media after the Mike Brown and Trayvon incidents and started thinking they were suddenly being oppressed by white people.

Prejudice against black people in the criminal justice system is both highly documented and uncontroversial.

I don't disagree that there are some issues, but that's not the same thing as "oppression" or living with a constant victim complex, which are both things that grew under Obama's term for various reasons.

Statistically, police brutality against people of color has been steadily trending down over time (and hit record lows last year), but the perception of this is completely detached from reality.

Obama's presidency ended a steady trend of improved racial relations in the U.S., and that's backed up by numerous polls. Trump has only made that issue significantly worse.

The problem for many homeless people in the U.S. isn't the lack of a home, it's they have a serious mental illness that isn't being treated. This is the case for over 1/3 of homeless people:

http://www.treatmentadvocacycenter.org/fixing-the-system/features-and-news/2596-how-many-people-with-serious-mental-illness-are-homeless

Giving houses to those folks is not productive, and it may actually pose a public safety issue if they start a fire in their apartment or something.

Also, this has nothing to do with capitalism, and I don't understand the point in the OP at all. Capitalism does not hold that if there is unfulfilled demand and supply, the supplier should offer the good for free. I do agree that the government should take actions to prevent a small group of individuals from monopolizing the housing supply, but the solution is not free housing for the homeless.

If Antifa groups do anything worth being banned I'm sure they are. That's just it you actually have to do something. I know that's hard for the right to understand.

They have numerous times over and at far worse levels than the Proud Boys. There is no way to really defend banning one group but not the other.

They flat out refused to hold a vote, reasoning being that he was in his finale year as President and as such shouldnt get to pick the next permanent Supreme Court seat.

It is the same deal with Trump, he is also in his final year and certainly shouldn't get to pick the next justice.

This is especially the case since this woman was drunk at a party that happened 35 years ago and didn't remember what happened until 6 days ago -- at which point she says she thought really hard about it and talked to some Democratic lawyers, and now remembers everything clearly.

She and all these women deserve to be heard and judged based on their evidence. However, multiple women with no evidence is still not, in and of itself, evidence.

Stop pretending you'd believe them anyway when we both know your decision has already been made. Have a fucking back bone, for once

I don't believe them and I don't believe Kavanaugh. I'll make my determination based on which side has the best evidence, not on what either side claims. As should everyone.

I'm certainly open to accepting the fact that he did all of this, but I'm not accepting that based solely on 35-year old accusations that can't be corroborated.

Solo was also basically two different movies cobbled together as one, and you can definitely see the contrast in some of the scenes.

The original Lord and Miller version was going to be comedy with with the tone of Deadpool, but this was nixed by Kathleen Kennedy when they were 70% done with shooting. Ron Howard had to re-shoot many of the scenes, and you the can see that the overall tone is wildly inconsistent because of it.

But a very common talking point has been that there is NO ONE ELSE backing up Kavanaugh ever behaving like this, ever. Now that people are corroborating that he does indeed have this history of behavior, it's hmmmmmmmm very suspicious

It's crazy disingenuous.

These all deserve to be investigated and taken seriously. They should be judged based on the merit of their evidence and nothing else.

But there obviously is a political aspect to it that can't be dismissed, since the strategy of orchestrated chaos might muddle things just enough even if none of the individual claims can be verified.

where do they find these people? when the GOP stopped obamas nomination did they resort to disgusting lies?

The woman at the center of the story, Deborah Ramirez, who is fifty-three, attended Yale with Kavanaugh, where she studied sociology and psychology. Later, she spent years working for an organization that supports victims of domestic violence.
...
In her initial conversations with The New Yorker, she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaughs role in the alleged incident with certainty. After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away. Ramirez is now calling for the F.B.I. to investigate Kavanaughs role in the incident. I would think an F.B.I. investigation would be warranted, she said.

Definitely seems odd that this pops up right after none of the witnesses could corroborate Ford's story, but, as always, let's see if there is actual evidence to support these claims.

This was probably the best YouTube comment below that video:

Ive dated a guy like Michael and honestly its so sad. Not because the guy I was dating was horrible but because he was so low in himself and unwilling to accept my compliments. Even when he expressed the idea of moving forward sexually and losing his virginity, he became super shy, never responding to my advances, and I felt rejected like the Asian girl [in his story]. I just had to realize that just because I was his girlfriend, I cant cure his self-hate.

Point basically is that even though these guys are convinced that having a woman/sex would cure their problems, the lack of a woman/sex are just a symptom of their problems, not the cause.

That letter has no relevance to whether this could have happened or not and you know that.

Agreed, but it has relevance to his character.

Short of a video in the bedroom of the incident, this is most likely going to come down to 1) accounts of other witnesses, then 2) which side's evidence seems more believable. And the second of those may definitely be affected by who Congress "believes" is more honest. That's in part a character determination.

I believe the facebook post

not sure why you think "no recollection" seems to indicate bart is innocent. they don't want to be involved and if the truth comes out, they don't want to be caught lying.

Because if the party didn't exist, or if he wasn't at it, obviously this couldn't have happened as she describes.

Literally every person she mentioned being at this party either denied it or has no recollection of it. On top of that, 65 women from Kavanaugh's prep school wrote a letter contradicting Ford's claims about his character:

Sixty-five women who said they knew Kavanaugh in high school have signed onto a letter emphasizing their perceptions of his integrity and decency. For the entire time we have known Brett Kavanaugh, he has behaved honorably and treated women with respect, the letter reads.

I could be completely wrong, and would welcome correction, but my understanding is that none of the people whom she named deny what happened (with the exception of the perpetrators, Judge and Kavanuagh); they deny that they attended the party.

Everything she mentioned pertaining to other people at the party that can be falsified is contradicted by those people. From your article:

- Judge, Kavanaughs classmate who Ford has also implicated in the incident, has said he has no recollection of it. Ford claims that Judge and Kavanaugh were stumbling drunk when they pushed her into a bedroom at the party in question.

- She also says that Judge was in the room while Kavanaugh forced himself on her and intermittently offered his encouragement during the encounter. Brett Kavanaugh and I were friends in high school but I do not recall the party described in Dr. Fords letter. More to the point, I never saw Brett act in the manner that Dr. Ford describes, Judge has said.

- Patrick J. Smyth, another individual who Ford named as being at the party, has denied attending as well. Both Smyth and Judge have signaled that they are not interested in providing further testimony.

- A fourth person who Ford is believed to have said was at the party, a woman named Leland Keyser, said she does not recall attending the event, according to a New York Times report.

- Keyser informed the Senate Judiciary Committee that she does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford.

So none of the external evidence corroborates her accounts. In fact, none of it even corroborates that Kavanaugh was at a party with her at all, something his calendar also indicates.

https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/friends-netflix-sexist-racist-transphobic-problematic-millenials-watch-a8154626.html

Millennials watching Friends on Netflix have expressed reservations about the popular sitcoms storylines, describing it as transphobic, homophobic and sexist.

While the show ran for more than 10 years until 2004, it arrived on Netflix at the end of last year in the UK.

The series, starring Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer, remains one of the most popular shows in the US.

However, some millennials found LGBT plot points left them feeling uncomfortable for example when Chandler was paranoid about being perceived as a gay man or made mean-spirited jokes about his cross-dressing dad.

Sexism seeps in when Rachel hires a nanny for her daughter Emma, but Emmas father Ross cant handle the fact that the nanny is a man. Ross takes it one step further to being homophobic by asking if hes gay.

Not to mention Monica (played by Courtney Cox) was never allowed to forget she was once overweight theres even an episode where Joey Tribbiani (played by LeBlanc) yells, Some girl ate Monica!

New audiences claimed that Rachel would have been fired for sexual harassment because she hires an assistant who isnt qualified for the position because she wants to date him.

Theres also the controversial relationship between Monica and her fathers best friend whos 20 years older than her, but it was perceived as even more uncomfortable in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and #MeToo stories.

The sitcom has also received criticism for its lack of diversity there were only two notable non-white characters on the show: Ross girlfriend Julie and Dr Charlie Wheeler.

Friends still may be of peoples favourite series, but that doesnt mean it isnt problematic in 2018.

Is there anyone on CE who agrees with these points? Other than the lack of minorities (which is definitely odd for a NYC setting), seems like much of the other stuff is kind of reaching.

You're right, it proves nothing. Something his legal team team admits themselves in the second paragraph of the article.

But if Congress is being asked to make a judgment call based on the best evidence available, and a guy who was meticulous enough to record his "basketball games, movie outings, football workouts and college interviews" didn't record this event, that should be considered in his favor.

Yeah, but like you yourself mentioned, if eyewitnesses put him at the party....who cares?
