No, we know those names because BLM organizations have made sure to keep those names near the surface. That didn't just happen because of "the media". It happened because one very loud and influential organization who used the media made it happen. As much as I see white folks bitching about how no one cares about police shootings of white people, I never see them do anything but bitch about it. You don't even know what's going on in the news but feel utterly convinced that you're some expert on how the media is tricking us with racism! Hahaha!

It's not dumb if it is racial though. Black people are disproportionately targeted, beaten, and shot by police. Duh!

Yes, those are exactly the statistics to which I'm referring. They show marital and living status but don't actually detail parental involvement or family strength. Do you have stats on that?
Um, ok? I do too. And, I dunno what kind of organizations you belong to or people you associate with but all the leftists I know are working class. And, they may be extreme but they don't just talk. They're very active on all fronts. Sucks that you've only been surrounded by lazy ass elitists but you shouldn't assume that's representative of the whole.
And here you have proven my point-- your making some pretty prejudiced assumptions about the intent of those commenting on racist language. You ignore that it's racist or classist so you can scold leftists about taking some moral high ground and why this makes them political losers. You're cool with letting that racist shit be said because the thing which you find really objectionable is your perception that leftists are nothing but virtue signaling elitists. Which doesn't even make a whole lot of sense-- what political side doesn't take a moral high ground and virtue signal and scold those who don't follow it? Does that mean that no side will ever achieve an effective political majority?

I’m thinking he lost and caught traction multiple times so it essentially would have skidded to that position.

I’m at Smithfield and Liberty and heard probably 7-10 shots.

Everyone is talking about high speed rail or light rail or parks. But I am a simple man with simple needs.
Nice brick sidewalks lined with trees and more bike paths. Its so realistic it seems almost impossible.

My first job in Pittsburgh this nice mild-mannered dude was driving me around tahn showing me the ropes then we took Bigelow and proceeded to pass the Oscar Mayer wiener mobile in the right lane doing 70. That road is a vortex that turns regular Pittsburghers into tormented hellriders.

Teeth aren't covered under medical insurance, so it would go to figure that teeth problems aren't considered a medical issue, regardless of how stupid that is.

Is that how much rent is now?! Holy shit. Don’t pay that. It’s been 9 years since I moved out of my apartment in Brookline, but I was paying less than $700/month plus electricity back then. Even when I lived in Shadyside in 2007 I was only pay $800/month.

There's nothing special about the middle of the state that would cause them to have worse teeth than city people. Just feels like you're playing into class/regional sterotypes like "west virginians are inbred," which is generally not any more true than neighborhoods in the city.

Granted, the only experience I've had from them was through a catered lunch at my old job, but it was legit one of the worst pasta meals I've ever had in my life. I couldn't even finish half of my plate, which is goddamn unheard of for my fat ass.

Aww, sorry for this introduction to our city. I assure you it really is quite safe, especially if you aren’t looking for or already involved in some sort of trouble. Admittedly, our downtown (where you are) is small, limited in its offerings, and has changed slightly for the worse since the start of the pandemic. Because of our geography, we’re a city of neighborhoods, and if you were to visit again, I’m sure this sub would be happy to recommend some more vibrant neighborhoods in which you might want to stay.

Probably the Alcoa. It is the closest apartments to the intersection that it happened at.

No, and that's such a stupidly obvious deflection.
