    Does the left currently believe this? I do. You apparently do. Does the left?

    Hell yes, because it's true.

    Decades of race-baiting doesn't change economic reality.

    If that makes me a "class warrior," so be it.

    Let's not confuse "the left" with "Democrats."

    Thanks.

    I agree with all this, but would swap the word "grievance" for "issue."

    Drug crime is an issue, I think.

    White folks expressing dismay over "political correctness" is a grievance.

    I always love how the experts have to come up with some (invented?) "reason" for whatever happens, such as, "Stocks were lower today on fears that . . ."

    A day or so later, of course, that day's losses all have been regained or better. As if that "fear" suddenly vanished.

    Actually, it's a black out period for buybacks. It's one of the things adding to the liquidity drain right now. Earnings reporting starts tomorrow, with the banks getting going (JP Morgan starts things off). There is no official blackout period, but its usually from the end of the quarter until 48 hours after you report earnings. The companies don't want accusations of insider trading while they are gathering their corporate financial information. So this is a blackout period that will largely last for several more weeks.

    Does the left believe it? Does the BLM movement suggest that? Or would it argue that white Americans - of any socio-economic level - can't possibly understand the experience of any black American - rich or poor?

    And Ubu wants the rabble moved out of his eyeline, then out of town.

    Unbelievable.
