divided issue?

Moreover, when was the last time conservatives sympathized with one or more minorities on an ethnically divided issue?

The Trayvon and Zimmerman case, because they were both minorities but conservatives preferred the racist killer.

Zimmermans being a minority was less conspicuous than Trayvon though. Also conservative racism works in a tier system where the darker your skin is, the less important you are.

The NRA couldn't even defend Philando Castile.

The 1% is a minority. Republicans are the only ones brave enough to stand up for the super rich.

The difference is conservatives don't judge issues on how well they will help "A minority" they judge issues on what will help everyone.

A metaphor:

A conservative will give 4 kids $5 each.

A liberal will give the black kid $17 and the other 3 kids $1 to make up for the fact the Black Kids' grandparents were discriminated against.

Boths sides see the other's actions as racist and their own as fair.

Of course UR just bulldozes in and changes the meaning of the topic. It's almost as if he's presenting an unfair representation of the topic.

I get that. In fact I anticipated someone would bring up something like this in this topic. But whats your excuse for cases like Philando Castile?

I don't know who that is so I can't comment intelligently.

Without knowing the context I'm going to assume it was another case of a "minority" reaching for a weapon in front of cops or attackings cops and being shot?

In which case you already know what every liberal and every conservative is going to say already.

Liberals only care because the guy is a minority and the cop isn't.
Conversatives don't care because the guy commited crimes.

Correct me if I am wrong as I fully admit I don't know the case but I've seen this dance 9413 times.

Its a long video, but everything you need to see happens within the first minute or two.

Ok?

Doesn't effect the on topic point that you're rarely going to see convervative groups adovcate for ideals or scenarios that push "The minority guy" when the entire conservative platform is one based on trying to promote equality for all as gingerly as you can.

"We need to have big government ban white men from owning land" is not a conservative stance.

A true conservative believes himself to be the victimized minority.

And just watched the video, guy says he has a gun, then says "I'm going to pull it out" and reached into his pocket to slide an object out right in front of a cop repeatedly telling him not to...

So yeah, you do already know what all conservatives and all liberals are going to say and as usual my instinct was right.

So it's no different than most arguments you try to create or insert yourself in

Trump's invitation of Jamiel Shaw Sr. to his first joint address to congress, indicating he's very aware of the plight of black folk in Southern California, who are being terrorized and murdered by gangs of Mexican illegals dead set on ethnically cleansing historically black neighborhoods.

It's a dirty little secret the liberal establishment has barely acknowledged, aside from occasional journalists and humanitarian-minded organizations.

Man the woman in that video has a spine of steel, her boyfriend gets shot and is dying and she's the calmest person in the entire situation.

She walked out of the car and talked on the phone like she was getting a speeding ticket.

That's really commendable. I think most people would be flipping out and screaming at that point, especially women. Hell even the cops were flipping out and screaming.

I feel so bad for her having to raise that kid without a dad :(

The cop tells him to take out his license. The cop also tells him not to reach for his gun.

So he reaches for his license, as instructed, and gets shot.

Apparently following the cops' orders is a crime now
