You think Americans' minds changed on race issues and THEN that caused the mainstream media and social media to cover it more?

You're confusing cause and effect.

Nope, you are confusing my point.

People start talking more about something because they become interested in it. After the media started covering the Michael Brown story, it became a popular issue, because human beings naturally crave conflict and this seemed like the next opportunity for us to distract ourselves.

The perceived problems of "race" have been thrust upon our society through the media recently, so naturally more people are developing the idea that something needs to be done.

It's not something which should be difficult to understand, but complex issues which can't be explained in a single poll seem to elude you.

this is why the bern deserved to have his platform hijacked

2 + 2 does equal 5 after all.

pretty sure the war against education is being waged by conservatives, not liberals

Rest my case.

What's next, the war on toilet paper?

Lol.

Communism does not equal socialism.

Reminds me of this Newt Gingrich quote:

"I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they're my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American."

Basically if a country isn't Christian and capitalistic, then it's a socialist, communist, atheist, Islamic state.

I understand that his fanboys try to play down his radical expansions of government control of the economy and its devastating failure throughout history, but hes pushing in that direction nonetheless.
