And I'm telling you there are places where your fatalistic stereotypes break down (talk about nihilism). I live in one.

Which isn't to say people don't have conflicting interests or even that they all agree on how to achieve a common goal, or that we don't have our share of people with their curtains drawn all day keeping vigil with Fox news for the end of days. It's just not as distopian as you like to have it. It's diverse and it's nice. Can you believe it?

I don't think your neighborhood is dystopian. I am sure it's nice. It sounds like Toronto or Vancouver. I am sure I could live there.

But that's because the hegemon still lives. Roman Britain was a paradise until the day after the Legions pulled out.

Once again though, what you wrote is not really responsive. You didn't address what those in your Identity Politics coalition want.

What is the common interest? Taking power from the hegemon. Anything else?

Is there a common goal between any of you other than that? What is it?

Is Chicago Chuy's world and any other Democratic Tribal leader's world compatible? What do you think Chuy thinks of you?

-edit-

What do you think Chuy et al really say about you when there are no other white folk in the room?

Because all you're doing is talking petty politics and I'm not.

Oh, little shit like improving school performance overall, reducing racial and gender gaps, upgrading the technology and technology programs at all school levels. Bettering the schools without raising our already astronomical property taxes. Adding stop signs and having motorists obey crosswalks. Improving the tainted drinking water. Adding express train service during rush hour. Trying to get the slum lord to sell or improve his commercial properties so new businesses will move in. That kind of shit. It's a town, not Jihad Central.

Dude, stop hyperventilating. He's not going to sell all our firstborns to ISIS for some tacos, okay?

Oh well.

I am betting you will know when I get worked up enough over something to hyperventilate.

Good cop work. Then riots. Then Due Process and Justice. The system worked.
The only thing that broke down was the "Black Culture" and the Media. And your argument.

I think you're leaving out the first few days of aftermath.

Please explain. If you were dissatisfied with the tedious business of gathering evidence & sorting out the facts, then I have no sympathy for your perspective.
Some of the witnesses were actively avoiding the police, according the the Obama-Holder Justice Report. Others were flat out lying, as proven by the forensics, including the three autopsies. All this shit takes time.
