I see the TPP is dead in its tracks now?
From what I understand, this trade agreement wasn't profitable to Americans in a domestic sense, but it may have helped American influence in the Asian region. That's the trade-off there.
Is there anyone able to give their own analysis on that problem?
I gave my analysis of the issue a few pages back, though it does focus on the domestic side more than on the question of what there is to gain from the Asian countries. I think this article gives the "Obama perspective" in a way that does mostly answer your questions.

Last time i checked the top 10 poorest counties in the US were majority white, most were in Kentucky and West Virginia.
These are not privileged people.Strangely enough the crime rates in these areas was below the national average.Overall they are decent people but they are doing it tough believe me.

People who talk about race non stop and necessarily link the caracteristic "white" with certain benefit are, usually, minority coming from the middle class who are educated. In their actual bubble (upper middle class to upper class living in urban area) the caracteristic "white" is an actual privilege, and so they believe all white, in all class, must have privilege. It's the political movement of a dominated fraction of the dominants.

It's very basic.The KKK is rejoicing because the candidate who wanted to increase islamic refugee intake by 600% lost.Does that mean everyone who disagreed with increasing the islamic intake by 600% is a KKK nazi? How many registered members does the KKK have now anyway a few thousand? Irrelevant organisation.
BTW not all KKK are rejoicing right now.This KKK grand dragon supported Clinton.

will the police decide a Clinton supporter angry about the election committing an act of vandalism is a terrorist?

If he's caught with explosives or other items indicative of a terrorist act, I assume so

Argument ad hominem and ad personam. Good job. You always respond stupidly catmouse, how about arguing for once.
And I'm not even "white", I don't have any resentment towards anything, except maybe stupidity.

It's not an "ad Hominem" to point out that you are not replying to me, but are discussing something else entirely. As for "ad personam" I certainly hope so! Please try to read up on what words mean before applying them. Shame you aren't replying to me "ad personam" but instead are talking about a strawman. You are arguing that mass rascists incidents in USA are fine, because "poor white people" in USA feel they are living under contempt? I have never said poor white people are dominant. I have never said equality can be acheived by pinning down white people. In fact I raised that saying that white people have a responsibility for fixing inequality as incredibly stupid in a post earlier. I have never said anything approaching either, so you have either confused me with someone else, or you are simply just using me as a foil to argue entirely against something else. Personally I don't care if you are white or not; yet another case of your arguing not the points raised, but an entirely different set. Am I white or not? I don't say, because it is entirely irrelevant to the argument at hand. By the way, you mispelt my name.

Anyone want to explain to me why I should not be ashamed of the Portland rioters? Protesting pipelines makes sense. You're preventing something. Are these people hoping to overturn the ruling? What is going on. It makes no sense.

why should you be ashamed of what some other idiots are doing when you've stated disapproval of them?
it's sufficient to say they're wrong.
If you're going to protest you should have some sort of goal or objective that could be given.
also, anyone rioting rather than protesting should be arrested.
not that I've actually looked at the portland case, I'm just going by the general way such things are and third-hand reports.

- I never said racist incident are fine, I even used the term facism (do you think I'm for facism ?) to describe this evolution of politics ;
- there are no "mass racists incidents", unless you actually believe ten or so tweets in a country of 300 + million people is massive ;
- you wrote "They are certainly dominant over poorer minorities in their local area" and you wrote that the white poor are "powerful and numerous", which is quite a synonym for dominant in my mind.
I mean, come on... Make an effort and think.

Somehow I don't think the KKK are holding a "Donald Trump victory parade" in December in North Carolina purely because of not letting in 50,000 Syrian refugees to a population of over 300 million. Especially when their stated reason is "Trump's race united my people."
(this is the real KKK, by the way; the site announcing it held events in the past)

They are causing damage in response to something they can not change. The damage is directed towards a community that overwhelmingly supports the same things they do. That's why we voted blue. They are causing a lot of damage and breeding a lot of anger. Nothing will change. This is purely a negative event.

Personally I don't care if you are white or not; yet another case of your arguing not the points raised, but an entirely different set. Am I white or not? I don't say, because it is entriely irrelevant to the argument at hand. By the way, you mispelt my name. - I never said racist incident are fine, I even used the term facism (do you think I'm for facism ?) to describe this evolution of politics ; - there are no "mass racists incidents", unless you actually believe ten or so tweets in a country of 300 + million people is massive ; - you wrote "They are certainly dominant over poorer minorities in their local area" and you wrote that the white poor are "powerful and numerous", which is quite a synonym for dominant in my mind. I mean, come on... Make an effort and think.
While they have vested interests, both the Southern Poverty Law Center and Council on Islamic-American relations are saying there actually is an uptick in these events, though they need time to be properly quantified.

Don't confuse discrediting of a few claims with nothing occurring at all.

It's not an "ad Hominem" to point out that you are not replying to me, but are discussing something else entirely. As for "ad personam" I certainly hope so! Please try to read up on what words mean before applying them. Shame you aren't replying to me "ad personam" but instead are talking about a strawman. You are arguing that mass rascists incidents in USA are fine, because "poor white people" in USA feel they are living under contempt? I have never said poor white people are dominant. I have never said equality can be acheived by pinning down white people. In fact I raised that saying that white people have a responsibility for fixing inequality as incredibly stupid in a post earlier. I have never said anything approaching either, so you have either confused me with someone else, or you are simply just using me as a foil to argue entirely against something else.

It helps to use the full quote:On November 12 2016 23:04 Dangermousecatdog wrote: That doesn't make any sense. In any form. Resentment of the more powerful and numerous against the poorer minority? OK. Sure. Somehow I highly doubt these incidents would occur in areas where these white Americans were in the minority.
I never said that they were the dominant group in the first place. That was you. A group can be more numerous and powerful over another group without being the dominant group. It's not a particularily hard concept especially in a localised sense.
Anyhow, as you have selectively quoted to change the meaning of said quote, I see that my suspicions that you have no intention of arguing with me, but prefer to instead argue something else instead are correct. Please use someone else to argue whatever agenda you have instead. Good bye.
