I'm under the impression it's a bit more muted in Philly. Pittsburgh it's rough, especially the immediate suburbs. The smaller cities like York and Lanc and poo poo are in the heart of it.

Philly has major, major, major heroin problems. It's just that it's had that for decades now so it doesn't stand out as much here.

gently caress the drug war. gently caress the dems.

Philadelphia police recently made 176 arrests in a massive drug sweep. Here�s why it may only exacerbate the overdose crisis.

quote:

6 ABC wrote on its homepage that �the streets in one Philadelphia neighborhood are a little safer today.� That may be true right now, but evidence shows it won�t be the case for long. In a 2011 edition of the International Journal of Drug Policy, five researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 15 studies of illegal drug market�related violence. Fourteen of those studies reported an increase in violence in the vicinity of markets as drug enforcement intensified.

�Our findings suggest that increasing drug-law enforcement is unlikely to reduce drug-market violence,� the researchers wrote. �Instead, the existing evidence base suggests that gun violence and high homicide rates may be an inevitable consequence of drug prohibition and that disrupting drug markets can paradoxically increase violence.�

I run a lovely anonymous confession thread in GBS and someone just submitted this poo poo

quote:

In D&D's trump threads we talk about Hilary occasionally but I want to get something off my chest.

TL;DR version: gently caress you Cenk and gently caress your lovely Youtube channel The Young Turks.

I don't blame Hillary for most of her loss in the 2016 ellection. She's got 10% of the blame on that. The other 90% is that loving oval office who does The Young Turks on youtube Cenk. I loving hate him and his lack of Hillary support putting people oft is where I put all the blame. If I ever met Cenk I would punch him in his loving face if only for his additional denial of the massacare that his show uses the group involved's name for. I'm glad Trump won so I could bathe in Cenk's tears. gently caress you Cenk and gently caress your youtube channel that is basically Left wing Infowars.

punk rebel ecks: Dec 11, 2010; A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

A response to the question: "Why don't black people flock to Sanders?" asked last year:

quote:

Because we already know what it's like to have someone promise us the moon and leave us out to dry. Believe it or not, we actually have a great deal of experience with far left politicians and figureheads. MLK, it's argued, was a socialist. The Black Panthers were socialists. We've had these ideas and promises run up and down our communities from East to West coast, North to South.... It never pans out. We've seen assassinations, fraud, all sorts of dirty tricks... Oftentimes though, it's as simple as politicians flat out lying to us. Bernie Sanders isn't new. So all these promises sound great and all, but they all sound like pipe dreams.
Who is he? No, not saying "black people haven't heard of Bernie Sanders", I mean, who is Bernie Sanders? He's this guy from Vermont apparently that claims he was very active in the Civil Rights movement but has been auspiciously absent from just about every black struggle since then. Suddenly he's on the national stage and all these people are saying, "well, he was there with you in the 60's so you should be with him now". Uh huh, and where has he been since? I honestly can't believe people would actually try and say what Sanders and his supporters say to black people with a straight face. Like we owe him something. Here's the truth, a LOT of people were involved in the CRM. Many went on to lead illustrious careers in politics and government. Some became real usurpers and phonies, others never stopped working for the community. Others simply moved on. The ones that the black community supports the most are people who went on to politics and government and never stopped working for the Black community. They represent us to this day. They give back to our communities. They speak out for us etc etc.... Suddenly Sanders wants to come around after 50 so years and cash in on some credit he has from the 60's and his supporters are demanding support as if he's been a champion of our community all this time? Nah son. Doesn't work that way.

His supporters, again, have done him no favors. His supporters are rabid. Especially true online. When the BLM thing happened, holy poo poo, the racism and venom was unbelievable. These people were supposed to be progressive too... But all you read was how stupid we were, friend of the family this and coon that. Even now, those same people are making passive aggressive (or flat out aggressive) comments towards black people for not supporting bernie enough or those who say they support Hillary. Black people are on the Internet, folks. We see exactly what you see when we read the comments section on news sites, on Reddit, on tumblr, on Twitter, on Instagram or on Facebook etc.

Black people aren't as liberal as a lot of people think we are. We just don't vote republican. But we are HUGE on church. We aren't comfortable supporting gay rights and we really aren't comfortable with atheism. Again, Idk if there's sources (I'm sure there should be- look at how CA went for Prop 8 in 2008 on basically the backs of black turnout) for this but I'm just speaking as someone who IS black and IS active in his community and has been all his life. As far as politics go, we're pretty moderate, if not straight conservative.

We LOVE the Clinton's. Again. We LOVE the Clinton's. Bill is the nigga and Hillary is a G haha but seriously, they're basically heroes for us and honorary black people to many black people. And it's rightfully earned. People always point to the crime laws as how we should be against them, but there ignorant of the fact that WE SUPPORTED THOSE CRIME LAWS. Man, the 90's were CRAZY. People were getting smoked for wearing Starter jackets and getting jacked for shoes. You couldn't go into certain neighborhoods or parts of the city if you didn't know someone who would vouch for you. And if you had on the wrong color, it was wraps. People were getting killed left and right. Innocent people too. Sitting in their living rooms watching tv and little kids were catching stray bullets through the eyes. The 80's and 90's were HELL. We were pissed off that the government wasn't helping us. Of course we wanted these gangsters and thugs locked up... WTF? Are we HAPPY that the laws unintended consequences ended up locking more of us up disproportionately? No. But no one can say with a straight face that, when those laws were written, Bill Clinton's goal was to lock up all black people. And Hillary's super predator comments? Bruh, that poo poo was real! It's surreal to watch urban white yuppies tell us what we should be outraged about. You never lived in our hoods. There sure as poo poo were young rear end kids in middle school and high school that were out bangin and they were stone cold killers. Let me repeat that one more time: there absolutely were people on the streets, young rear end kids too, that would have no qualms with jacking a couple, shooting an old lady through the lung and watching her bleed out. I'm talking about stoniest of the cold killers. Baby killers. Infant killers. Some of these thugs had no soul bruh, the brutality is something I've noticed a lot of white Americans are just completely ignorant or unaware of. That poo poo was absolutely accurate! And every time I hear poo poo like this from Bernie supporters my only reaction is, "drat... You really don't know". Dude, the 80's and 90's were HORRIBLE for black people and the ONLY people in government that seemed to care were the Clinton's. They fought HARD and passed the gun laws. They passed the crime bills that cleaned up our streets (albeit with terrible unintended consequences). They tried their best and they fought hard for us when no one else really did. Everybody was still wet off Reagan and was trying to be the next Ron. I know this is neutral politics and I'm trying to be on my best behavior, but F--- Ronald Reagan tho. Seriously. The reason me saying that matters is because, to a lot to black people, the Clinton's were the ones who had our backs after that guy ripped our communities to shreds and ruined us. Back to the point, we see the mud Bernie supporters are trying to sling on Hillary (and Bill to some extent), and it's just more of the same poo poo we saw in the early 90's. But Clinton had our backs in the 90's and we had his at the voting booth. And we got her back too now. She's not the same lady she was back then. She's older, obviously. But is ANYONE the same person they were 25 years ago? I'd hope not.
Just my perspective. Take it or leave it.

Edit: Tl;Dr: Probably the biggest reason is that Bernie lacks credentials in our community. Relying entirely on something you did in the 60's is something Jesse Jackson wouldn't even do. Even Jesse had to put in work. Next, equally big reason: The Clinton's are family... Plain and simple. They were the first presidents and major politicians to stand with us and pay attention to us. They weren't perfect, but their solidarity with us goes a long way. I'd even go so far as to say that if we knew about Obama what we know now, and he was going against Hillary... Hillary would get a good deal of the black vote. Not a majority. But she'd give him a good run for his money. And, boy, If it was Barack vs Bill... Welcome back Bill! Lol the Clinton's are to black people what the Reagan's are to republicans.
Edit 2: Wow, people actually gave me gold for this. Thank you so much! You could've bought tacos but you bought this stranger gold. I really appreciate that. Thank you again mystery persons!

I don't like Cards Against Humanity but that's kind of nice.

should i ever run for office, my plan would be to put an ad for television into rotation like a week before election, where the first fifteen seconds would be me saying "hey, i know y'all are getting pretty sick of election commericals, so i, [gene hackman fan], candidate for [whatever], will give you a little peace and quiet for the next [whatever]."

then there'd be a complete silence over peaceful scenes of cumberland gap national park, with a crawl along the bottom saying poo poo like "ghf is in favor of single payer. ghf will fight for $15. ghf will support any efforts to eliminate private prisons. ghf will work to legalize weed. ghf knows he can't do it alone, so he'll either find dems who'll support the same, or stump for candidates who will."

on one hand, people are so used to loud commercials during wheel of fortune or jeopardy that when there's an extended silence, they're going to want to look at the tv to make sure it's still on or working. on the other, i get pretty sick of political commercials towards the election as well.
