The BDS is so strong in this thread.

In truth I haven't read the links you sent but I will, but I did click on them and at the very least the titles made me uncomfortable. They indeed may support your view of anti White racism but such a small sample size for me doesn't support a stereotype of the whole of left wing media, I'm sure you have seen more but I haven't personally.

Based on my assumption that you mean I will engage in debate on racism on one side of the debate but not comment on what you would call anti white racism. In the cold light of day looking at my post history I could see why you could come to that conclusion and that is fair enough, But this could be true of you and the vast majority of posters on this subject, I tend to pick on posts that to me are hypocritical. But my view on the counter reference is it's as bad as any other.

Regarding the Watson video I basically watched the whole thing through and taken on face value you could believe that the reporting of the shootings was unfairly slanted towards having a racial motive. But I because he had included quotes from the FBI director I did a quick Google search and realised that other agencies involved in the investigation had also given a view on motive. Just looking at those links I posted that in my opinion he was absolutely slanting it in the direction he wanted. I could have taken a quote from the second link I posted arguing it was racially motivated and ranted on a video for 15 minutes would that have been accurate and fair, nope. Unless he can give a balanced view I'm basically not going to form an opinion.

If you were referring to the discussion on stereotyping I didn't actually oppose the crime figures in any way in fact I posted in that thread that I hadn't denied that those figures were true and I still don't. The general principle of what I was saying was, is it fair to stereotype a whole community based on statistics, I could produce stats on how Black people are treated by police when arrested or when in custody, would it then be fair to stereotype the whole of the police force to a man or woman as institutionally racist, nope.

Do I have a low threshold on racism, well in truth I have a low tolerance of one sided stereotyping and what I see as hypocrisy. Do I see those as one in the same thing, well stereotyping could sow the seeds of viewing people as less than you but my view on that is too much for me to write here

So your view on this hasn't evolved from the views people had when segregation was rife in 60s America? Also I'm not saying this is true in this case, but the amount of times you here of discussions on racism against black people and someone trots out a prominent black person who has the same view as if it legitimises what they are saying

So on this point you are saying you aren't as biased and one sided as the people you attack, honestly in my view that doesn't come across, but of course that is only my opinion and you are obviously free to challenge that view

There shouldn't be long queues of any voters and I think that is something the Supreme Court should rule as unconstitutional as it is denying people the vote. How you define "long queues / waiting time" is another matter. Anyway in principle I would not have a problem with a case being brought about not enough polling stations and staff per head of population.

I thought the voter id clause referred to postal ballots so that should not impact queues. The Democrats fighting this unless confirms the suspicions that they benefit from voter fraud. They would be better arguing as I do above more checks but more staff and polling stations.

As for food and drink that could be seen as electoral bribery and if there weren't long queues then that goes away.

Trump having an opinion on how the States ran their elections was fine. He is entitled to it. That was never the issue. It was him attempting to directly interfere that was.

Biden is just as entitled to an opinion on any proposed changes and to ask the Justice Department to look at whether they are constitutional. What he cannot do and hasn't done is attempt to directly interfere.

Congress could also take action to try to find some way of ensuring that the same rules apply everywhere. Which seems sensible to me when you are having a national election but this is the USA where much of the system doesn't appear to be fit for purpose in a modern country.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Another lot of politicians throwing the police under a bus.

Good luck getting recruits for the NYPD.

That made me laugh. Biden would probably laugh too - if it wouldn't give him a stroke.
