You whine like a fucking conservative.

“ this country color codes poverty as not white “.

I can only assume that you’ve only lived in cities, because outside of major urban centers, poverty in America is overwhelmingly white and native American. The police in East Dogbreath Nebraska don’t give a fuck what colour the poors who live on the wrong side of the…

“Is it yet another case of gentrification where Black people are pushed out to make way for white people who move into a neighborhood and then rather than learn about their neighbors and blend in insist that everyone else around them conform to what they want?”

No.  Learn more about Dayton before getting out your…

Claiming exclusivity on overpolicing may feel good, but it shits on the realities experienced by marginalized demographics of every colour and gender

Your assertion is that the black community is the sole focus of over-policing in every single jurisdiction in the US?  

You’ve obviously never lived somewhere where the cops are equal opportunity assholes. 

I understand that you wanna be utterly spittleflecked about stats on the internet, ‘Sparky’, but I actually live here, in one of the few middle class mixed ‘hoods in the city. I see the popo at work on a daily basis. The Dayton PD (and all the surrounding satellite municipalities for than matter) are absolute…

The crux of the biscuit is that no one at city hall wanted to offend swing voters (and donors) with a high profile first amendment issue; they’d rather pin their hopes on becoming the benchmark for how to handle a klan rally peacefully.

I heard this more-or-less verbatim from a big-time Democrat bag(wo)man.

They couldn’t have it in Indianapolis. The Indy500 is this weekend, and even the lowest miscreant knows not to fuck with the Indianapolis PD on race weekend.

Dayton Poisoner.

In the same vein, let’s not assume that every police force in the country is in league with the klan. I’ve been in Dayton for 5 years, and the popo here are absolutely equal opportunity assholes; the only thing they’re definitely biased against is any driver with a Michigan plate, but that’s pretty much common across…

Downtown Dayton’s been a typical rustbelt abandoned city center for decades. White folks from the ‘burbs have been terrified by it, but really, it was just a sad, empty ghost town until a couple of years ago, when something of a Renaissance started happening. They got funding to rehab the architectural centerpiece of…

They’re actually called ‘The Hinterland Who’s Who’...

If God wanted the Greatest Country In The History of the World to use that damned surrender monkey metric shit, he woulda given us 10 fingers and 10 toes...

If you can’t tell the difference between a shake, a milkshake, and a malted, you have no business talking about milkshake control.

Motorsports is inherently dangerous. IMS isn’t some mystical hellgate of extradangerousness. How is Alonso braver than any of the other drivers this year who hit the wall hard then came back in either a spare car, or one that was pieced back together overnight?

The obsession with Alonso, like his presence is a ‘make-i…

Dude’s a highly skilled professional driving a car prepped for him by world class race engineers.

He was happily trimming the car during his laps.

He’s no fucking braver than any other driver.

That’s utter codswallop, and an insult to the engineers who improve the safety of Indycars every fucking year.

Nobody else was deemed brave. Alonso was Incredibly Brave.

Also: He’s a highly paid professional doing his fucking job.

The commentators were all-in on the Alonso worship. “I can’t stress enough how brave Alonso is to get in that car and drive it”. They were acting like the McLaren engineering crew were a bunch of hoboes who wandered in with a car they bodged together in a laneway down the street, and Alonso was in his first big-boy…
