White Supremacists Are a Threat to Elections, Says the DHS

While the Trump administration publicly downplays the rise of the far right, Homeland Security anticipates “physical threats” to the 2020 election.

yet we sit silent so as to not hurt the feels of potential crossovers. The time for reasonable discourse has passed. Best to just kick the shit out of em both in the streets and at the ballot box.

I bought heavily into the idea that as a country we had ignored the plight of Middle America and those in Appalachia. Then yall opted to be bitches.

Fuck it, let's go.

Apologies...but i hope they do. As a gent from the reasonable left, the whishy washy shit of the dems is infuriating. This pussy bullshit of worrying about what Republicans will do if they lose is bullshit. Stand up for yourself and your beliefs. If someone wishes to meet your words with violence, that doesn't mean they win, it means you need to toughen the fuck up and be willing to stand behind your rhetoric, otherwise its as meaningless and you are as weak of a bitch as most of us already think.

I think your misinterpreting what I meant. Ain't no one scared or worried what Rep will or wont do. My point is Dem wont resort to blood shed if Biden lost. You can rest assured we have plenty to keep this block safe. Any that resort to blood shed over politics are weak thugs IMO.

New Citi GPS Report Estimates $16 Trillion in Lost GDP Due to Racial Inequality in the United States

Outlines Actionable Steps for Governments, Corporations and Individuals to Help Eliminate the Economic Gaps


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Citi today released a new report that estimates the economic losses attributed to racial inequality in the United States over the last two decades. The Citi Global Perspectives & Solutions (GPS) report Closing the Racial Inequality Gaps: The Economic Cost of Black Inequality in the U.S. posits the lost GDP of systemic and societal racism and discrimination faced by Blacks over the last 20 years to be $16 trillion. This loss includes gaps in wages, access to housing and higher education and investment in Black-owned businesses. The report also provides recommendations the public and private sectors can take to help close the gap.

“Racial inequality has always had an outsized cost, one that was thought to be paid only by underrepresented groups,” said Raymond J. McGuire, Vice Chairman of Citigroup and Chairman of Banking, Capital Markets and Advisory at Citi. “What this report underscores is that this tariff is levied on us all, and particularly in the U.S., that cost has a real and tangible impact on our country’s economic output. Now, more than ever, we have a responsibility and an opportunity to confront this longstanding societal ill that has plagued Black and brown people in this country for centuries, tally up the economic loss and as a society, commit to bring greater equity and prosperity to all.”
The report identifies the underlying causes of the racial and economic gaps exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and discusses the value of closing gaps. Report authors prognosticate that if racial inequity gaps were closed today, the equivalent add to the U.S. economy over the next five years could be $5 trillion of additional GDP, or an average add of 0.35 percentage points to U.S. GDP growth per year and 0.09 percentage points to global GDP growth per year.
“One important thing that we can do is to show the costs of racial inequality through objective analysis which is what the authors of this report have sought to demonstrate,” said Dr. Catherine L. Mann, Global Chief Economist at Citi and one of the principal authors of the report. “Our overarching goal for the Citi GPS series is not only to tackle the key opportunities and challenges of the 21st century, but also to address complex societal questions and not to shy away from difficult subjects. As such, we believe that we have a responsibility to address current events and to frame them with an economic lens in order to highlight the real costs of longstanding discrimination against minority groups, especially against Black people and particularly in the U.S.”
