[QUOTE="Redwingfan9, post: 75524594, member: 421229"] I'm an attorney, believe me people settle all the time because it's cheaper and less risky than going to trial. It doesn't mean they're admitting wrong doing, it means they're making a business decision. Comparison to Nazis is a losing argument. Trump didn't have any race specific policies which is evidence that he isn't a racist. He viewed his policies as good for all Americans, not one group over another. While I don't agree with his protectionist trade policies (which I believe favor domestic sellers over business that sell abroad), until the Chinese Coronavirus hit all racial groups had increased incomes and unemployment was extremely low. For blacks in particular, unemployment rates hadn't been lower in 60+ years. Black teenage unemployment had not been lower. Trump also addressed sentencing reform. I don't believe he went far enough (I would end the war on drugs and eliminate prison for non-violent offenses) but he and the Republicans passed a modest sentencing reform bill that didn't just aid blacks but all Americans. There is no question the prison industrial complex disproportionately harms blacks, Trump made more of an effort to address this situation than Obama. [/QUOTE]
