That's a selective list maintained by a known Climate Change denier. However, sea levels are rising and glaciers are receding, along with the Antarctic ice shelf, which are all proven facts. ( And clear evidence of the racism of US Police forces ).
What the f*ck is a climate change denier, it's supposed to be science, do you understand how science works? Can you please tell me what the ideal average temperature of the world is and what the optimum amount of c02 in the atmosphere is. Thanks in advance

What was your point in posting some idiot talking bollocks then?
Maybe you need to go read the thread

It is estimated that if the sea level rises by 10 feet, it will take out the homes of over 12million people in the US alone. That's a lot of real estate to shift to suckers. This includes the bulk of NYC, New Orleans, and Miami. Now obviously sea defences, sea walls, and levees would help, but consider the increased impacts of Atlantic storm surges, or hurricanes along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
Show me anything they've actually predicted and got it right

If you think that’s educating anyone on climate change you have problems.
Did I say it was?

Ben Shapiro is an absolute fucknugget. He's so stupid, he thinks people living in low lying areas threatened by rising sea levels will be perfectly OK because if the sea levels do rise they can just sell their houses and move away. That's the towering intellect of this man.
And so to this video, where he once again shows how terrifyingly thick he is. His whole central claim is that the media are only talking about cop-on-black violence and they're not reporting the regular black-on-black violence/murders that occur in the US, so it must be part of some awful leftie conspiracy. But he completely fails to realise that exposing the widescale failure of the American media to report on stories of black-on-black violence actually just reinforces the argument that there is a deep-rooted racist undercurrent in American society.
Genius.
You lost it right from the start, Ben Shapiro is highly intelligent, because you don't agree with what he says doesn't make him wrong or thick

Keep telling yourself that 😅
I posted 4 videos, 3 of them had black people in and the other one had a Jewish guy, if you'd bothered to watch them maybe you'd realise how wrong you are. Do yourself a favour and go and watch some Thomas Sowell, Glen Loury and a few more Coleman Hughes videos, maybe then you might have a better understanding of the racial issues in America. They're all black people if you didn't already know

Whenever there's a thread about injustice towards black people you can guarantee without fail, there'll be Turkish (and people like Scally) posting again and again against the whole idea of it. But they ain't racist guv.
You're some kind of knob mate, show me any where that I've said against racism. Educating yourself by listening to people like Coleman Hughes doesn't make you a racist you prick

He’s weird. Whatever he thinks I’m on the opposite side 😃
You live your life by disagreeing with people just because you don't like them even when they're right 🙄

The media just want to stoke up racial hatred not report what actually happens in America

Point is there is racism over there like we can’t relate to and not a stretch that it extends into the police. I didn’t think Sheaf was dismissive either.
also scally has form as a Qanon nut
Qanon nut? Unless you're going to argue against what I've said don't bring me into your spat

OK I've watched the section you recommended, and he is obviously an intelligent guy who makes some very valid points.
The bigger problem with the US police is undoubtedly the corruption. And he's right that, of course, it is not just black people who are the victims of this. The regularity of incidents of lethal force involving American police is very worrying, regardless of the ethnicity of the victim, so the bigger concern should be to improve training (particularly firearms training) and reduce the level of corruption which sees so many of these officers spared any criminal charges for their misconduct.
But some of his claims are just plain wrong. He repeats the claim that there is no disparity between black and white victims, but statistical analyses show there clearly is (as per my previous link).
It's interesting what he says about videos of black people being abused and killed being more widely reported on. It's undoubtedly true that black killings are more widely publicised. But that doesn't contradict the statistical data.
I don't believe that any police forces deliberately set out to be racist. Of course they don't. But, sadly, racist attitudes are still quite prevalent in America (and here as well). You only have to read some of the more moronic comments on social media posts to recognise that. When you combine that with a glaring lack of training and vetting of police recruits, and a corrupt culture of "close ranks and look after our own", it's little wonder that there are more than a few bad eggs like Chauvin in the various American PDs who believe they are untouchable, and whose own racist tendencies make them more likely to target black people.
If you think Coleman is wrong on the data then check out the video below. About 200+ black Americans are killed by the police every year, most of those killings are justified. Thousands of black Americans are murdered annually and nobody including Black Lives Matter are interested in talking about it. We should all do everything we can to stop racism but we also need to start addressing the bigger issues that effect so many Black American's

No, of course he isn't. Just because he hasn't personally had any experience of systemic racism in the police, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
The evidence speaks for itself. Black people in the US are up to 6 times more likely to be killed by police than white people.
For this guy to deny there is a problem, based on nothing more than his own personal experience, is blinkered in the extreme. He's a hyper-partisan political commentator, and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near mainstream BBC news. The fact they invited him on without checking on his background is highly worrying
Watch the video above

If you can't be bothered to watch it all just watch from 17 to 27 minutes, this video changed my views on what's happening in America. The media deliberately report things in a way that creates racial tension.

What the actual fuck are the BBC doing inviting this loon to speak on the news? I've seen his Youtube channel before and he's basically just a rabid Trump supporter who has somehow made himself famous (and rich) by making videos claiming that America can't possibly have a problem with racism because he is black, he has never personally experienced racism, and he managed to become a cop.
You may not like him but is he right?

The whole idea of the appeal pisses on democracy and common sense.
The case revolves around whether the organisation managing the election in a specific state can make administrative or scheduling changes without reference to that state's legislature. The Supreme Court has previously ruled that this is entirely within the law and constitution, as such regulations are purely devolved and of no interest to Federal institutions, and this time around various states made changes to bring key dates forward to account for mail-in ballots and extend voter access. Each state named in the suit made different specific changes, but none referred up to their State Congress.
Texas extended the early voting period for the November 3, 2020 general election, extending it by six days to open on October 13, 2020, instead of October 19, 2020, as originally scheduled. Rules were also changed so that voters were required to be notified if their absentee ballots might be rejected due to signature mismatch, and election officials were required to give such voters a 'meaningful opportunity to cure' their ballots. Absentee/mail-in return locations were limited to one per county.
Ergo - Texas made changes in the same way that they are disputing in the other states.
Don't you just love copy and paste, sorry if it's in the MSM it's bullshit

Not interesting, just desperate, pathetic, anti-democratic, and against the constitution. States are individually responsible for how they regulate and administer elections, Texas cannot determine how any other state makes it's regulations.
( PS, Texas made exactly the same changes as they are complaining about in the swing states. The only difference is that Trump won, so they aren't crying to SCOTUS ).
Go to 4:50 This pisses on your bonfire that Texas did the same

It's a superiority thing, the left never used to be such arrogant tw*ts. Labour were my preferred party until the middle class took it over
