It does seem, from the little I've seen in the news, that this locking up kids might be a step too far. What people will ultimately do about it is yet to be seen. I expect the assassination attempts will probably kick off in earnest now. I don't see a widespread civil resolution, given the polarisation in the US at the moment. I saw a bunch of twitter quotes from random conservatives showing zero empathy or sympathy or humanity towards these kids that have been locked up. There's no saving people like that. Arguably they aren't even human. What do you do with a rabid dog? You put it down. Seems the same rules might have to start applying to these sub-humans..

White people hold the reigns of power and when they speak they get listened to. POCs get ignored and their protests and words come off as mild irritants to many white folk.

All this is in the article.

OK Mister coward. What are you doing about it other than posting on a forgotten corner of the internet?
It's not my place to do anything. I'm not American. Nor am I "white people". The article does not mention non-Americans.

Which leaves me to wonder why you and Jim are getting so defensive.

What crap. I, like many "white people" oppose Trump's actions on this issue, but I'm also not going to cop a ridiculous over-reaction which is a load of racist bullshit.

Yeah. Saw those quotes. One of them said something about keeping them for their organs. Let their organs into the country but leave the kids in Mexico.

I see a few friends on Facebook talking about stringing Trump and associates up with piano wire and warning Trump supporters that they are not unarmed pacifists if they kick up after they threatened violent action if Trump is impeached.

It's getting ugly over there. Trump needs to be ended and fast.

The time for civil discourse seems to have passed.

My guess is our local Trump supporters will be more outraged by the OP than the above.

There was no clue that the Holocaust would happen at the start of the Nazis mass imprisonment of trouble makers. It is the thin end of the wedge. The coming trade collapse, loss of oil imports etc and hyper-inflation will lead to scarcity and bring the horrible animal spirits to the fore. And the fema camps and trains are easy hooked up to a power station that feeds on human flesh. It's how it starts - plausible how it starts every time, almost reasonable.

I see the offence shown at the article as an opposite of Trump's defence of "good people on both sides" Let's call it a " bad people on both sides" argument. Calling the article in the OP racist, for instance, to try deflect from the systemic racism inherent in white America. Saying that an article which is an attack on the divisive policies of the US government is itself decisive, as if white Americans should be spared their feelings when faced with their shameful past and the present situation. A classic case of projection.

And all this as if the article didn't pre-empt the objections of white people because the author has heard all the excuses before.

The article I came across on a white friends Facebook page and it was shared by 3 of his friends at the time of writing. At least some seem somewhat willing to bear their responsibility.

Who said it was racist? I certainly didn't. It is however a generalisation and patently an inaccurate one give the number of white an other people who are protesting vigorously about these abuses.

You stomped on here this morning with the attitude, it seemed to me, that if one didn't agree 100% with the OP and your sense of outrage, that we were in the other camp and as bad as some right wing nut job.

The article was cobblers.

Does not anyone really see what Trump is doing? It is nothing about immigrants. It is about the saving of Trump.
Total chaos and non belief. The OP is just fuelling it.

Stomped on? I posted an article I thought was eye-opening. The indignation towards it was unexpected (well, I expected the Trump supporting racists to get angry in denial as they got stung by some harsh truths) and disproportional. And pointed in the wrong direction.

This article should be viewed as a provocative polemic of the type Christopher Hitchens did all the time.

And like I said, if it offends you more than little children being torn from their parents and locked away; this song is relatable.
